758 - don't remove single empty lines outside of bracketed expressions (#19)
760 - added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25)
762 - restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as a name (#20, #42)
764 - even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again)
768 - changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines instead of at
770 [a recent change to PEP 8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
773 - ignore empty bracket pairs while splitting. This avoids very weirdly looking
774 formattings (#34, #35)
776 - remove a trailing comma if there is a single argument to a call
778 - if top level functions were separated by a comment, don't put four empty lines after
781 - fixed unstable formatting of newlines with imports
783 - fixed unintentional folding of post scriptum standalone comments into last statement
784 if it was a simple statement (#18, #28)
786 - fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)
788 - fixed spurious space after star-based unary expressions (#31)
794 - only put trailing commas in function signatures and calls if it's safe to do so. If
795 the file is Python 3.6+ it's always safe, otherwise only safe if there are no `*args`
796 or `**kwargs` used in the signature or call. (#8)
798 - fixed invalid spacing of dots in relative imports (#6, #13)
800 - fixed invalid splitting after comma on unpacked variables in for-loops (#23)
802 - fixed spurious space in parenthesized set expressions (#7)
804 - fixed spurious space after opening parentheses and in default arguments (#14, #17)
806 - fixed spurious space after unary operators when the operand was a complex expression
