9 being called but with no arguments (#2182)
13 - Add `--no-diff` to black-primer to suppress formatting changes (#2187)
19 - Fix crash if the user configuration directory is inaccessible. (#2158)
22 [circumstances](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#pragmatism)
23 in which _Black_ may change the AST (#2159)

44 - Don't remove necessary parentheses from assignment expression containing assert /
45 return statements. (#2143)
49 - Bump pathspec to >= 0.8.1 to solve invalid .gitignore exclusion handling
55 - Fixed a rare but annoying formatting instability created by the combination of
56 optional trailing commas inserted by `Black` and optional parentheses looking at
57 pre-existing "magic" trailing commas. This fixes issue #1629 and all of its many many
