+
+## 22.10.0
+
+### Highlights
+
+- Runtime support for Python 3.6 has been removed. Formatting 3.6 code will still be
+ supported until further notice.
+
+### Stable style
+
+- Fix a crash when `# fmt: on` is used on a different block level than `# fmt: off`
+ (#3281)
+
+### Preview style
+
+- Fix a crash when formatting some dicts with parenthesis-wrapped long string keys
+ (#3262)
+
+### Configuration
+
+- `.ipynb_checkpoints` directories are now excluded by default (#3293)
+- Add `--skip-source-first-line` / `-x` option to ignore the first line of source code
+ while formatting (#3299)
+
+### Packaging
+
+- Executables made with PyInstaller will no longer crash when formatting several files
+ at once on macOS. Native x86-64 executables for macOS are available once again.
+ (#3275)
+- Hatchling is now used as the build backend. This will not have any effect for users
+ who install Black with its wheels from PyPI. (#3233)
+- Faster compiled wheels are now available for CPython 3.11 (#3276)
+
+### _Blackd_
+
+- Windows style (CRLF) newlines will be preserved (#3257).
+
+### Integrations
+
+- Vim plugin: add flag (`g:black_preview`) to enable/disable the preview style (#3246)
+- Update GitHub Action to support formatting of Jupyter Notebook files via a `jupyter`
+ option (#3282)
+- Update GitHub Action to support use of version specifiers (e.g. `<23`) for Black
+ version (#3265)
+
+## 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)
+
+### Integrations
+
+- 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)
+
+### Output
+
+- Change from deprecated `asyncio.get_event_loop()` to create our event loop which
+ removes DeprecationWarning (#3164)
+- Remove logging from internal `blib2to3` library since it regularly emits error logs
+ about failed caching that can and should be ignored (#3193)
+
+### Parser
+
+- 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
+
+- Reduce Black's startup time when formatting a single file by 15-30% (#3211)
+
+## 22.6.0
+
+### Style
+
+- Fix unstable formatting involving `#fmt: skip` and `# fmt:skip` comments (notice the
+ lack of spaces) (#2970)
+
+### Preview style
+
+- Docstring quotes are no longer moved if it would violate the line length limit (#3044)
+- Parentheses around return annotations are now managed (#2990)
+- Remove unnecessary parentheses around awaited objects (#2991)
+- Remove unnecessary parentheses in `with` statements (#2926)
+- Remove trailing newlines after code block open (#3035)
+
+### Integrations
+
+- Add `scripts/migrate-black.py` script to ease introduction of Black to a Git project
+ (#3038)
+
+### Output
+
+- Output Python version and implementation as part of `--version` flag (#2997)
+
+### Packaging
+
+- Use `tomli` instead of `tomllib` on Python 3.11 builds where `tomllib` is not
+ available (#2987)
+
+### Parser
+
+- [PEP 654](https://peps.python.org/pep-0654/#except) syntax (for example,
+ `except *ExceptionGroup:`) is now supported (#3016)
+- [PEP 646](https://peps.python.org/pep-0646) syntax (for example,
+ `Array[Batch, *Shape]` or `def fn(*args: *T) -> None`) is now supported (#3071)
+
+### Vim Plugin
+
+- Fix `strtobool` function. It didn't parse true/on/false/off. (#3025)
+
+## 22.3.0
+
+### Preview style
+

+- Remove unnecessary parentheses from tuple unpacking in `for` loops (#2945)
+- Avoid magic-trailing-comma in single-element subscripts (#2942)
+
+### Configuration
+
+- Do not format `__pypackages__` directories by default (#2836)

+
+### Integrations
+
+- Move test to disable plugin in Vim/Neovim, which speeds up loading (#2896)

+
+### Packaging

+- On Python 3.11 and newer, use the standard library's `tomllib` instead of `tomli`
+ (#2903)
+- `black-primer`, the deprecated internal devtool, has been removed and copied to a
+ [separate repository](https://github.com/cooperlees/black-primer) (#2924)
+
+### Parser
+
+- Black can now parse starred expressions in the target of `for` and `async for`
+ statements, e.g `for item in *items_1, *items_2: pass` (#2879).
