## 22.1.0

At long last, _Black_ is no longer a beta product! This is the first non-beta release
and the first release covered by our new
[stability policy](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/index.html#stability-policy).

### Highlights

- **Remove Python 2 support** (#2740)

- Work around bug that causes unstable formatting in some cases in the presence of the
  magic trailing comma (#2807)

  literals (#2799)

  (#2686)
- Fix cases that contain multiple top-level as-expressions, like `case 1 as a, 2 as b`
  (#2716)

  `case Foo(bar=baz as quux)` (#2749)
- Tuple unpacking on `return` and `yield` constructs now implies 3.8+ (#2700)
- Unparenthesized tuples on annotated assignments (e.g
  `values: Tuple[int, ...] = 1, 2, 3`) now implies 3.8+ (#2708)
- Fix handling of standalone `match()` or `case()` when there is a trailing newline or a
  comment inside of the parentheses. (#2760)
- `from __future__ import annotations` statement now implies Python 3.7+ (#2690)

### Performance

  `--target-version` is set to 3.10 and higher). (#2728)

  - they now correctly work across function/class boundaries (#335)

  - they now work when an indentation block starts with empty lines or misaligned

  docstring or fields are present (#219)

## 18.5b0

- call chains are now formatted according to the
  [fluent interfaces](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface) style (#67)

  exploded like imports when they don't fit in a single line (#152)

- parentheses are now also managed automatically on the right-hand side of assignments
  and return statements (#140)

- math operators now use their respective priorities for delimiting multiline
  expressions (#148)

- optional parentheses are now omitted on expressions that start or end with a bracket
  and only contain a single operator (#177)

- empty parentheses in a class definition are now removed (#145, #180)

- string prefixes are now standardized to lowercase and `u` is removed on Python 3.6+
  only code and Python 2.7+ code with the `unicode_literals` future import (#188, #198,
  #199)

- typing stub files (`.pyi`) are now formatted in a style that is consistent with PEP
  484 (#207, #210)

  lines after a dedented closing bracket (#119)

  used (#183)

- fixed multiline strings being unnecessarily wrapped in optional parentheses in long
  assignments (#215)

- fixed not splitting long from-imports with only a single name

- fixed Python 3.6+ file discovery by also looking at function calls with unpacking.
  This fixed non-deterministic formatting if trailing commas where used both in function
  signatures with stars and function calls with stars but the former would be
  reformatted to a single line.

- fixed crash on dealing with optional parentheses (#193)

- fixed "is", "is not", "in", and "not in" not considered operators for splitting
  purposes

## 18.4a4

  reformatted again (#109)

- `--check` and `--diff` are no longer mutually exclusive (#149)

- generalized star expression handling, including double stars; this fixes
  multiplication making expressions "unsafe" for trailing commas (#132)

- _Black_ now splits imports like "Mode 3 + trailing comma" of isort (#127)

- fixed comment indentation when a standalone comment closes a block (#16, #32)

- fixed standalone comments receiving extra empty lines if immediately preceding a
  class, def, or decorator (#56, #154)

  (#2)

- fixed unstable formatting when encountering unnecessarily escaped quotes in a string
  (#120)

## 18.4a1

- added automatic parentheses management (#4)

- added [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) integration (#103, #104)

- fixed reporting on `--check` with multiple files (#101, #102)

- fixed removing backslash escapes from raw strings (#100, #105)

## 18.4a0

- added `--diff` (#87)

- add line breaks before all delimiters, except in cases like commas, to better comply
  with PEP 8 (#73)

- standardize string literals to use double quotes (almost) everywhere (#75)

- fixed handling of standalone comments within nested bracketed expressions; _Black_
  will no longer produce super long lines or put all standalone comments at the end of
  the expression (#22)

- fixed 18.3a4 regression: don't crash and burn on empty lines with trailing whitespace
  (#80)

- fixed 18.3a4 regression: `# yapf: disable` usage as trailing comment would cause
  _Black_ to not emit the rest of the file (#95)

- when CTRL+C is pressed while formatting many files, _Black_ no longer freaks out with
  a flurry of asyncio-related exceptions

- only allow up to two empty lines on module level and only single empty lines within
  functions (#74)

## 18.3a4

- `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on` are implemented (#5)

- automatic detection of deprecated Python 2 forms of print statements and exec
  statements in the formatted file (#49)

  arguments (#60)

- don't remove single trailing commas from square bracket indexing (#59)

- don't omit whitespace if the previous factor leaf wasn't a math operator (#55)

- omit extra space in kwarg unpacking if it's the first argument (#46)

- omit extra space in
  [Sphinx auto-attribute comments](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/autodoc.html#directive-autoattribute)
  (#68)

## 18.3a3

- don't remove single empty lines outside of bracketed expressions (#19)

- added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25)

- restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as a name (#20, #42)

- even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again)

## 18.3a2

- changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines instead of at
  the end, following
  [a recent change to PEP 8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
  (#21)

- ignore empty bracket pairs while splitting. This avoids very weirdly looking
  formattings (#34, #35)

- remove a trailing comma if there is a single argument to a call

- if top level functions were separated by a comment, don't put four empty lines after
  the upper function

- fixed unstable formatting of newlines with imports

- fixed unintentional folding of post scriptum standalone comments into last statement
  if it was a simple statement (#18, #28)

- fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)

- fixed spurious space after star-based unary expressions (#31)

## 18.3a1

- added `--check`

- only put trailing commas in function signatures and calls if it's safe to do so. If
  the file is Python 3.6+ it's always safe, otherwise only safe if there are no `*args`
  or `**kwargs` used in the signature or call. (#8)

- fixed invalid spacing of dots in relative imports (#6, #13)

- fixed invalid splitting after comma on unpacked variables in for-loops (#23)

  (#15)
