(#1940) ### Packaging - Release self-contained x86_64 MacOS binaries as part of the GitHub release pipeline (#2198) - Always build binaries with the latest available Python (#2260) ### Documentation - Add discussion of magic comments to FAQ page (#2272) - `--experimental-string-processing` will be enabled by default in the future (#2273) - Fix typos discovered by codespell (#2228) - Fix Vim plugin installation instructions. (#2235) - Add new Frequently Asked Questions page (#2247) - Fix encoding + symlink issues preventing proper build on Windows (#2262) ## 21.5b1 ### _Black_ - Refactor `src/black/__init__.py` into many files (#2206) ### Documentation - Replaced all remaining references to the [`master`](https://github.com/psf/black/tree/main) branch with the [`main`](https://github.com/psf/black/tree/main) branch. Some additional changes in the source code were also made. (#2210) - Sigificantly reorganized the documentation to make much more sense. Check them out by heading over to [the stable docs on RTD](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). (#2174) ## 21.5b0 ### _Black_ - Set `--pyi` mode if `--stdin-filename` ends in `.pyi` (#2169) - Stop detecting target version as Python 3.9+ with pre-PEP-614 decorators that are being called but with no arguments (#2182) ### _Black-Primer_ - Add `--no-diff` to black-primer to suppress formatting changes (#2187) ## 21.4b2 ### _Black_ - Fix crash if the user configuration directory is inaccessible. (#2158) - Clarify [circumstances](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/docs/the_black_code_style.md#pragmatism) in which _Black_ may change the AST (#2159) - Allow `.gitignore` rules to be overridden by specifying `exclude` in `pyproject.toml` or on the command line.

(#2143) ### _Packaging_ - Bump pathspec to >= 0.8.1 to solve invalid .gitignore exclusion handling ## 21.4b0 ### _Black_ - Fixed a rare but annoying formatting instability created by the combination of optional trailing commas inserted by `Black` and optional parentheses looking at pre-existing "magic" trailing commas.

introduced property-based fuzzing to our test suite based on Hypothesis and Hypothersmith (#1566) - implemented experimental and disabled by default long string rewrapping (#1132), hidden under a `--experimental-string-processing` flag while it's being worked on; this is an undocumented and unsupported feature, you lose Internet points for depending on it (#1609) ### Vim plugin -

added `--skip-numeric-underscore-normalization` to disable the above behavior and leave numeric underscores as they were in the input - code with `_` in numeric literals is recognized as Python 3.6+ - most letters in numeric literals are lowercased (e.g., in `1e10`, `0x01`) - hexadecimal digits are always uppercased (e.g. `0xBADC0DE`) - added `blackd`, see [its documentation](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/18.9b0/README.md#blackd) for more info (#349) -
