<!-- Changes that affect Black's preview style -->
-- Implicitly concatenated strings used as function args are no longer wrapped inside
- parentheses (#3640)
+- More concise formatting for dummy implementations (#3796)
### Configuration
<!-- Changes to how Black can be configured -->
-- `.pytest_cache`, `.ruff_cache` and `.vscode` are now excluded by default (#3691)
+- Black now applies exclusion and ignore logic before resolving symlinks (#3846)
### Packaging
<!-- Changes that improve Black's performance. -->
+- Avoid importing `IPython` if notebook cells do not contain magics (#3782)
+- Improve caching by comparing file hashes as fallback for mtime and size. (#3821)
+
### Output
<!-- Changes to Black's terminal output and error messages -->
<!-- Changes to blackd -->
+- Fix an issue in `blackd` with single character input (#3558)
+
### Integrations
<!-- For example, Docker, GitHub Actions, pre-commit, editors -->
-- Update GitHub Action to display black output in the job summary (#3688)
+- Black now has an
+ [official pre-commit mirror](https://github.com/psf/black-pre-commit-mirror). Swapping
+ `https://github.com/psf/black` to `https://github.com/psf/black-pre-commit-mirror` in
+ your `.pre-commit-config.yaml` will make Black about 2x faster (#3828)
+- The `.black.env` folder specified by `ENV_PATH` will now be removed on the completion
+ of the GitHub Action. (#3759)
### Documentation
<!-- Major changes to documentation and policies. Small docs changes
don't need a changelog entry. -->

+- Fix _Black_ not honouring `pyproject.toml` settings when running `--stdin-filename`
+ and the `pyproject.toml` found isn't in the current working directory (#3719)
+- _Black_ will now error if `exclude` and `extend-exclude` have invalid data types in
+ `pyproject.toml`, instead of silently doing the wrong thing (#3764)
