ESLint v8.57.1 released

Highlights

Notable bug fixes related to the new config system (eslint.config.js):

• Config name property can now also be used with global ignores.
• --no-ignore no longer applies to non-global ignores.
• The FlatESLint#lintText() method will now respect the fixTypes option when it is specified.

This version also improves configuration error messages by including the name property (if specified on the config object that caused the error), or index in case of non-object elements in the config array.
