## 22.10.0

### Highlights

- Runtime support for Python 3.6 has been removed. Formatting 3.6 code will still be
  supported until further notice.

### Stable style

- Fix a crash when `# fmt: on` is used on a different block level than `# fmt: off`
  (#3281)

### Preview style

- Fix a crash when formatting some dicts with parenthesis-wrapped long string keys
  (#3262)

### Configuration

- `.ipynb_checkpoints` directories are now excluded by default (#3293)
- Add `--skip-source-first-line` / `-x` option to ignore the first line of source code
  while formatting (#3299)

### Packaging

- Executables made with PyInstaller will no longer crash when formatting several files
  at once on macOS. Native x86-64 executables for macOS are available once again.
  (#3275)
- Hatchling is now used as the build backend. This will not have any effect for users
  who install Black with its wheels from PyPI. (#3233)
- Faster compiled wheels are now available for CPython 3.11 (#3276)

### _Blackd_

- Windows style (CRLF) newlines will be preserved (#3257).

### Integrations

- Vim plugin: add flag (`g:black_preview`) to enable/disable the preview style (#3246)
- Update GitHub Action to support formatting of Jupyter Notebook files via a `jupyter`
  option (#3282)
- Update GitHub Action to support use of version specifiers (e.g. `<23`) for Black
  version (#3265)

## 22.8.0

### Highlights

- Python 3.11 is now supported, except for _blackd_ as aiohttp does not support 3.11 as
  of publishing (#3234)
- This is the last release that supports running _Black_ on Python 3.6 (formatting 3.6
  code will continue to be supported until further notice)
- Reword the stability policy to say that we may, in rare cases, make changes that
  affect code that was not previously formatted by _Black_ (#3155)

### Stable style

- Fix an infinite loop when using `# fmt: on/off` in the middle of an expression or code
  block (#3158)
- Fix incorrect handling of `# fmt: skip` on colon (`:`) lines (#3148)
- Comments are no longer deleted when a line had spaces removed around power operators
  (#2874)

### Preview style

- Single-character closing docstring quotes are no longer moved to their own line as
  this is invalid. This was a bug introduced in version 22.6.0. (#3166)
- `--skip-string-normalization` / `-S` now prevents docstring prefixes from being
  normalized as expected (#3168)
- When using `--skip-magic-trailing-comma` or `-C`, trailing commas are stripped from
  subscript expressions with more than 1 element (#3209)
- Implicitly concatenated strings inside a list, set, or tuple are now wrapped inside
  parentheses (#3162)
- Fix a string merging/split issue when a comment is present in the middle of implicitly
  concatenated strings on its own line (#3227)

### _Blackd_

- `blackd` now supports enabling the preview style via the `X-Preview` header (#3217)

### Configuration

- Black now uses the presence of debug f-strings to detect target version (#3215)
- Fix misdetection of project root and verbose logging of sources in cases involving
  `--stdin-filename` (#3216)
- Immediate `.gitignore` files in source directories given on the command line are now
  also respected, previously only `.gitignore` files in the project root and
  automatically discovered directories were respected (#3237)

### Documentation

- Recommend using BlackConnect in IntelliJ IDEs (#3150)

### Integrations

- Vim plugin: prefix messages with `Black: ` so it's clear they come from Black (#3194)
- Docker: changed to a /opt/venv installation + added to PATH to be available to
  non-root users (#3202)

### Output

- Change from deprecated `asyncio.get_event_loop()` to create our event loop which
  removes DeprecationWarning (#3164)
- Remove logging from internal `blib2to3` library since it regularly emits error logs
  about failed caching that can and should be ignored (#3193)

### Parser

- Type comments are now included in the AST equivalence check consistently so accidental
  deletion raises an error. Though type comments can't be tracked when running on PyPy
  3.7 due to standard library limitations. (#2874)

### Performance

- Reduce Black's startup time when formatting a single file by 15-30% (#3211)

## 22.6.0

### Style

- Remove trailing newlines after code block open (#3035)

### Integrations

- Add `scripts/migrate-black.py` script to ease introduction of Black to a Git project
  (#3038)

### Output

- Output Python version and implementation as part of `--version` flag (#2997)

### Packaging

- Use `tomli` instead of `tomllib` on Python 3.11 builds where `tomllib` is not
  available (#2987)

### Parser

  `except *ExceptionGroup:`) is now supported (#3016)
- [PEP 646](https://peps.python.org/pep-0646) syntax (for example,
  `Array[Batch, *Shape]` or `def fn(*args: *T) -> None`) is now supported (#3071)

### Vim Plugin

- Fix `strtobool` function. It didn't parse true/on/false/off. (#3025)

  statements, e.g `for item in *items_1, *items_2: pass` (#2879).

- 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)
