+## 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)
+- Comments are no longer deleted when a line had spaces removed around power operators
+ (#2874)
+
+### 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_
+
+- `blackd` now supports enabling the preview style via the `X-Preview` header (#3217)
+
+### Configuration
+
+- 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
+
+- Recommend using BlackConnect in IntelliJ IDEs (#3150)
