+
+- `Black` now respects `--skip-string-normalization` when normalizing multiline

+ in if/while statements (#1655)

+- Added support for PEP 614 relaxed decorator syntax on python 3.9 (#1711)
+
+- Added parsing support for unparenthesized tuples and yield expressions in annotated

+ older than 7.0

+
+- `Black` now supports Python 3.8 code, e.g. star expressions in return statements
+ (#1121)

+ Hypothersmith (#1566)
+
+- implemented experimental and disabled by default long string rewrapping (#1132),

+
+### 18.3a2
+
+- changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines instead of at
+ the end, following
+ [a recent change to PEP 8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
