+### Typing stub files
+
+PEP 484 describes the syntax for type hints in Python.  One of the
+use cases for typing is providing type annotations for modules which
+cannot contain them directly (they might be written in C, or they might
+be third-party, or their implementation may be overly dynamic, and so on).
+
+To solve this, [stub files with the `.pyi` file
+extension](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#stub-files) can be
+used to describe typing information for an external module.  Those stub
+files omit the implementation of classes and functions they
+describe, instead they only contain the structure of the file (listing
+globals, functions, and classes with their members).  The recommended
+code style for those files is more terse than PEP 8:
+
+* prefer `...` on the same line as the class/function signature;
+* avoid vertical whitespace between consecutive module-level functions,
+  names, or methods and fields within a single class;
+* use a single blank line between top-level class definitions, or none
+  if the classes are very small.
+
+*Black* enforces the above rules.  There are additional guidelines for
+formatting `.pyi` file that are not enforced yet but might be in
+a future version of the formatter:
+
+* all function bodies should be empty (contain `...` instead of the body);
+* do not use docstrings;
+* prefer `...` over `pass`;
+* for arguments with a default, use `...` instead of the actual default;
+* avoid using string literals in type annotations, stub files support
+  forward references natively (like Python 3.7 code with `from __future__
+  import annotations`);
+* use variable annotations instead of type comments, even for stubs that
+  target older versions of Python;
+* for arguments that default to `None`, use `Optional[]` explicitly;
+* use `float` instead of `Union[int, float]`.

+  expressions (#148)
+
+* optional parentheses are now omitted on expressions that start or end
+  with a bracket and only contain a single operator (#177)
+
+* empty parentheses in a class definition are now removed (#145, #180)
+
+* string prefixes are now standardized to lowercase and `u` is removed
+  on Python 3.6+ only code and Python 2.7+ code with the `unicode_literals`
+  future import (#188, #198, #199)
+
+* typing stub files (`.pyi`) are now formatted in a style that is consistent
+  with PEP 484 (#207, #210)
+
+* progress when reformatting many files is now reported incrementally
+
+* fixed trailers (content with brackets) being unnecessarily exploded
+  into their own lines after a dedented closing bracket (#119)
+
+* fixed an invalid trailing comma sometimes left in imports (#185)
+
+* fixed non-deterministic formatting when multiple pairs of removable parentheses
+  were used (#183)
+
+* fixed not splitting long from-imports with only a single name
+
+* fixed Python 3.6+ file discovery by also looking at function calls with
+  unpacking. This fixed non-deterministic formatting if trailing commas
+  where used both in function signatures with stars and function calls
+  with stars but the former would be reformatted to a single line.
+
+* fixed crash on dealing with optional parentheses (#193)
+
+* fixed crash when dead symlinks where encountered

+### 18.4a3
+
+* added a "cache"; files already reformatted that haven't changed on disk
+  won't be reformatted again (#109)
+
+* `--check` and `--diff` are no longer mutually exclusive (#149)
+
+* generalized star expression handling, including double stars; this
+  fixes multiplication making expressions "unsafe" for trailing commas (#132)
+
+* Black no longer enforces putting empty lines behind control flow statements
+  (#90)
+
+* Black now splits imports like "Mode 3 + trailing comma" of isort (#127)

+* fixed comment indentation when a standalone comment closes a block (#16, #32)
+
+* fixed standalone comments receiving extra empty lines if immediately preceding
+  a class, def, or decorator (#56, #154)
+
+* fixed `--diff` not showing entire path (#130)

+* fixed parsing of complex expressions after star and double stars in
