v2.7.3

• The transforms related to a module are applied only if this module has not been explicitly authorized to be imported
  (i.e is not in AstroidManager.extension_package_whitelist). Solves the following issues if numpy is authorized to be imported
  through the extension-pkg-allow-list option.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#3342
  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#4326

• Fixed bug in attribute inference from inside method calls.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#400

• Fixed bug in inference for superclass instance methods called
  from the class rather than an instance.

  Closes #1008
  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#4377

• Fixed bug in inference of chained attributes where a subclass
  had an attribute that was an instance of its superclass.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#4220

• Adds a brain for the ctypes module.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#4896

• When processing dataclass attributes, exclude the same type hints from abc.collections
  as from typing.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#4899

v2.7.2

• BaseContainer is now public, and will replace _BaseContainer completely in astroid 3.0.

• astroid.const.BUILTINS and astroid.bases.BUILTINS are not used internally anymore

  performances and clarity.

• Add inference for dataclass initializer method.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#3201

  Support for instantiating other typing types is left for the future, if desired.

  Closes #1129

• Fixed LookupMixIn missing from astroid.node_classes.

v2.7.0

  a faulty function in a context manager.

  Closes pylint-dev/pylint#4723
