89 Due to various issues, the previous release (23.9.0) did not include compiled mypyc
90 wheels, which make Black significantly faster. These issues have now been fixed, and
91 this release should come with compiled wheels once again.
93 There will be no wheels for Python 3.12 due to a bug in mypyc. We will provide 3.12
94 wheels in a future release as soon as the mypyc bug is fixed.

131 `https://github.com/psf/black` to `https://github.com/psf/black-pre-commit-mirror` in
132 your `.pre-commit-config.yaml` will make Black about 2x faster (#3828)
133 - The `.black.env` folder specified by `ENV_PATH` will now be removed on the completion
134 of the GitHub Action (#3759)
140 - Runtime support for Python 3.7 has been removed. Formatting 3.7 code will still be

206 the latest code base (#3755)
212 This release fixes a longstanding confusing behavior in Black's GitHub action, where the
213 version of the action did not determine the version of Black being run (issue #3382). In
214 addition, there is a small bug fix around imports and a number of improvements to the
218 [preview style](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/future_style.html#preview-style)
219 with `black --preview` and tell us your feedback. All changes in the preview style are
220 expected to become part of Black's stable style in January 2024.

225 added when they are right after another import line (#3610)

251 version input is not specified (#3543)
252 - Fix missing Python binary path in autoload script for vim (#3508)
256 - Document that only the most recent release is supported for security issues;
257 vulnerabilities should be reported through Tidelift (#3612)
263 This is the first release of 2023, and following our
264 [stability policy](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/index.html#stability-policy),
265 it comes with a number of improvements to our stable style, including improvements to
266 empty line handling, removal of redundant parentheses in several contexts, and output
267 that highlights implicitly concatenated strings better.
269 There are also many changes to the preview style; try out `black --preview` and give us
270 feedback to help us set the stable style for next year.
272 In addition to style changes, Black now automatically infers the supported Python
273 versions from your `pyproject.toml` file, removing the need to set Black's target

1436 - fixed removing backslash escapes from raw strings (#100, #105)
1440 - added `--diff` (#87)
1442 - add line breaks before all delimiters, except in cases like commas, to better comply
1445 - standardize string literals to use double quotes (almost) everywhere (#75)
1447 - fixed handling of standalone comments within nested bracketed expressions; _Black_
1448 will no longer produce super long lines or put all standalone comments at the end of
1449 the expression (#22)
1451 - fixed 18.3a4 regression: don't crash and burn on empty lines with trailing whitespace
1454 - fixed 18.3a4 regression: `# yapf: disable` usage as trailing comment would cause
1455 _Black_ to not emit the rest of the file (#95)
1457 - when CTRL+C is pressed while formatting many files, _Black_ no longer freaks out with
1458 a flurry of asyncio-related exceptions
1460 - only allow up to two empty lines on module level and only single empty lines within
1465 - `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on` are implemented (#5)
1467 - automatic detection of deprecated Python 2 forms of print statements and exec
1468 statements in the formatted file (#49)
1470 - use proper spaces for complex expressions in default values of typed function
1473 - only return exit code 1 when --check is used (#50)
1475 - don't remove single trailing commas from square bracket indexing (#59)
1477 - don't omit whitespace if the previous factor leaf wasn't a math operator (#55)
1479 - omit extra space in kwarg unpacking if it's the first argument (#46)
1481 - omit extra space in
1482 [Sphinx auto-attribute comments](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/autodoc.html#directive-autoattribute)
1487 - don't remove single empty lines outside of bracketed expressions (#19)
1489 - added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25)
1491 - restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as a name (#20, #42)
1493 - even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again)
1497 - changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines instead of at
1499 [a recent change to PEP 8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
1502 - ignore empty bracket pairs while splitting. This avoids very weirdly looking
1503 formattings (#34, #35)
1505 - remove a trailing comma if there is a single argument to a call
1507 - if top level functions were separated by a comment, don't put four empty lines after
1510 - fixed unstable formatting of newlines with imports
1512 - fixed unintentional folding of post scriptum standalone comments into last statement
1513 if it was a simple statement (#18, #28)
1515 - fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)
1517 - fixed spurious space after star-based unary expressions (#31)
1523 - only put trailing commas in function signatures and calls if it's safe to do so. If
1524 the file is Python 3.6+ it's always safe, otherwise only safe if there are no `*args`
1525 or `**kwargs` used in the signature or call. (#8)
1527 - fixed invalid spacing of dots in relative imports (#6, #13)
1529 - fixed invalid splitting after comma on unpacked variables in for-loops (#23)
1531 - fixed spurious space in parenthesized set expressions (#7)
1533 - fixed spurious space after opening parentheses and in default arguments (#14, #17)
1535 - fixed spurious space after unary operators when the operand was a complex expression
