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

111 `https://github.com/psf/black` to `https://github.com/psf/black-pre-commit-mirror` in
112 your `.pre-commit-config.yaml` will make Black about 2x faster (#3828)
113 - The `.black.env` folder specified by `ENV_PATH` will now be removed on the completion

192 This release fixes a longstanding confusing behavior in Black's GitHub action, where the

194 addition, there is a small bug fix around imports and a number of improvements to the
198 [preview style](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/future_style.html#preview-style)
199 with `black --preview` and tell us your feedback. All changes in the preview style are
200 expected to become part of Black's stable style in January 2024.

232 - Fix missing Python binary path in autoload script for vim (#3508)
236 - Document that only the most recent release is supported for security issues;
237 vulnerabilities should be reported through Tidelift (#3612)
243 This is the first release of 2023, and following our
244 [stability policy](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/index.html#stability-policy),
245 it comes with a number of improvements to our stable style, including improvements to
246 empty line handling, removal of redundant parentheses in several contexts, and output
247 that highlights implicitly concatenated strings better.
249 There are also many changes to the preview style; try out `black --preview` and give us
250 feedback to help us set the stable style for next year.
252 In addition to style changes, Black now automatically infers the supported Python
253 versions from your `pyproject.toml` file, removing the need to set Black's target

1428 will no longer produce super long lines or put all standalone comments at the end of
1429 the expression (#22)
1431 - fixed 18.3a4 regression: don't crash and burn on empty lines with trailing whitespace
1434 - fixed 18.3a4 regression: `# yapf: disable` usage as trailing comment would cause
1435 _Black_ to not emit the rest of the file (#95)
1437 - when CTRL+C is pressed while formatting many files, _Black_ no longer freaks out with
1438 a flurry of asyncio-related exceptions
1440 - only allow up to two empty lines on module level and only single empty lines within
1445 - `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on` are implemented (#5)
1447 - automatic detection of deprecated Python 2 forms of print statements and exec
1448 statements in the formatted file (#49)
1450 - use proper spaces for complex expressions in default values of typed function
1453 - only return exit code 1 when --check is used (#50)
1455 - don't remove single trailing commas from square bracket indexing (#59)
1457 - don't omit whitespace if the previous factor leaf wasn't a math operator (#55)
1459 - omit extra space in kwarg unpacking if it's the first argument (#46)
1461 - omit extra space in
1462 [Sphinx auto-attribute comments](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/autodoc.html#directive-autoattribute)
1467 - don't remove single empty lines outside of bracketed expressions (#19)
1469 - added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25)
1471 - restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as a name (#20, #42)
1473 - even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again)
1477 - changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines instead of at
1479 [a recent change to PEP 8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
1482 - ignore empty bracket pairs while splitting. This avoids very weirdly looking
1483 formattings (#34, #35)
1485 - remove a trailing comma if there is a single argument to a call
1487 - if top level functions were separated by a comment, don't put four empty lines after
1490 - fixed unstable formatting of newlines with imports
1492 - fixed unintentional folding of post scriptum standalone comments into last statement
1493 if it was a simple statement (#18, #28)
1495 - fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)
1497 - fixed spurious space after star-based unary expressions (#31)
1503 - only put trailing commas in function signatures and calls if it's safe to do so. If
1504 the file is Python 3.6+ it's always safe, otherwise only safe if there are no `*args`
1505 or `**kwargs` used in the signature or call. (#8)
1507 - fixed invalid spacing of dots in relative imports (#6, #13)
1509 - fixed invalid splitting after comma on unpacked variables in for-loops (#23)
1511 - fixed spurious space in parenthesized set expressions (#7)
1513 - fixed spurious space after opening parentheses and in default arguments (#14, #17)
1515 - fixed spurious space after unary operators when the operand was a complex expression
