+## 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)
+- 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
-<!-- Changes that affect Black's 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_
-<!-- Changes to blackd -->
+- `blackd` now supports enabling the preview style via the `X-Preview` header (#3217)
### Configuration
-<!-- Changes to how Black can be configured -->
+- 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
-<!-- Major changes to documentation and policies. Small docs changes
- don't need a changelog entry. -->
-
-- 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)
- Recommend using BlackConnect in IntelliJ IDEs (#3150)
### Integrations
-<!-- For example, Docker, GitHub Actions, pre-commit, editors -->
+- 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)
+- Vim plugin: add flag (`g:black_preview`) to enable/disable the preview style (#3246)
### Output
-<!-- Changes to Black's terminal output and error messages -->
-
- Change from deprecated `asyncio.get_event_loop()` to create our event loop which
removes DeprecationWarning (#3164)
-
-### Packaging
-
-<!-- Changes to how Black is packaged, such as dependency requirements -->
+- Remove logging from internal `blib2to3` library since it regularly emits error logs
+ about failed caching that can and should be ignored (#3193)
### Parser
-<!-- Changes to the parser or to version autodetection -->
-
- 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
-<!-- Changes that improve Black's performance. -->
+- Reduce Black's startup time when formatting a single file by 15-30% (#3211)
