## eslint-config-airbnb-extended 3

### Breaking changes

- The rule is enabled with error severity, requiring node:assert to be replaced by node:assert/strict. (3.3.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/eslint-config/airbnb-extended/blob/543bf578ca6111d5641222e394aad2323eea9850/CHANGELOG.md#330-2026-10-03)
- Import resolution now follows TypeScript semantics, resolving each file against its nearest tsconfig.json rather than the tsconfig selected by the process working directory. (3.2.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/eslint-config/airbnb-extended/blob/543bf578ca6111d5641222e394aad2323eea9850/CHANGELOG.md#320-2026-08-03)

### New APIs and options

- The new rule is set to off. (3.3.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/eslint-config/airbnb-extended/blob/543bf578ca6111d5641222e394aad2323eea9850/CHANGELOG.md#330-2026-10-03)
- The new rule is enabled with warn severity. (3.3.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/eslint-config/airbnb-extended/blob/543bf578ca6111d5641222e394aad2323eea9850/CHANGELOG.md#330-2026-10-03)
- Discovers the tsconfig.json closest to each linted file and caches one underlying resolver per discovered tsconfig, replacing reliance on the process working directory. (3.2.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/eslint-config/airbnb-extended/blob/543bf578ca6111d5641222e394aad2323eea9850/CHANGELOG.md#320-2026-08-03)
- Adds an optional typescriptResolver parameter that forwards options to eslint-import-resolver-typescript, merged over the default; passing an explicit project opts out of automatic tsconfig discovery. (3.2.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/eslint-config/airbnb-extended/blob/543bf578ca6111d5641222e394aad2323eea9850/CHANGELOG.md#320-2026-08-03)

### Fixes and other changes

- The Node base rules were improved. (3.3.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/eslint-config/airbnb-extended/blob/543bf578ca6111d5641222e394aad2323eea9850/CHANGELOG.md#330-2026-10-03)
- All prebuilt configs now use the automatic TypeScript import resolver, preventing false import resolution errors when one editor session lints files across monorepo packages. (3.2.0) — [release notes](https://github.com/eslint-config/airbnb-extended/blob/543bf578ca6111d5641222e394aad2323eea9850/CHANGELOG.md#320-2026-08-03)
