+ version (#3265)
+

(#2874)
### Preview style

### Documentation
-<!-- Major changes to documentation and policies. Small docs changes

- 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 -->

### Parser
-<!-- Changes to the parser or to version autodetection -->

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)
