pass `--skip-string-normalization` on the command line. This is meant as
an adoption helper, avoid using this for new projects.
+### Numeric literals
+
+*Black* standardizes most numeric literals to use lowercase letters for the
+syntactic parts and uppercase letters for the digits themselves: `0xAB`
+instead of `0XAB` and `1e10` instead of `1E10`. Python 2 long literals are
+styled as `2L` instead of `2l` to avoid confusion between `l` and `1`. In
+Python 3.6+, *Black* adds underscores to long numeric literals to aid
+readability: `100000000` becomes `100_000_000`.
+
+For regions where numerals are grouped differently (like [India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numbering_system)
+and [China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_numerals#Whole_numbers)),
+the `-N` or `--skip-numeric-underscore-normalization` command line option
+makes *Black* preserve underscores in numeric literals.
### Line breaks & binary operators

+## blackd
+
+`blackd` is a small HTTP server that exposes *Black*'s functionality over
+a simple protocol. The main benefit of using it is to avoid paying the
+cost of starting up a new *Black* process every time you want to blacken
+a file.
+
+### Usage
+
+`blackd` is not packaged alongside *Black* by default because it has additional
+dependencies. You will need to do `pip install black[d]` to install it.
+
+You can start the server on the default port, binding only to the local interface
+by running `blackd`. You will see a single line mentioning the server's version,
+and the host and port it's listening on. `blackd` will then print an access log
+similar to most web servers on standard output, merged with any exception traces
+caused by invalid formatting requests.
+
+`blackd` provides even less options than *Black*. You can see them by running
+`blackd --help`:
+
+```text
+Usage: blackd [OPTIONS]
+
+Options:
+ --bind-host TEXT Address to bind the server to.
+ --bind-port INTEGER Port to listen on
+ --version Show the version and exit.
+ -h, --help Show this message and exit.
+```
+
+### Protocol
+
+`blackd` only accepts `POST` requests at the `/` path. The body of the request
+should contain the python source code to be formatted, encoded
+according to the `charset` field in the `Content-Type` request header. If no
+`charset` is specified, `blackd` assumes `UTF-8`.
+
+There are a few HTTP headers that control how the source is formatted. These
+correspond to command line flags for *Black*. There is one exception to this:
+`X-Protocol-Version` which if present, should have the value `1`, otherwise the
+request is rejected with `HTTP 501` (Not Implemented).
+
+The headers controlling how code is formatted are:
+
+ - `X-Line-Length`: corresponds to the `--line-length` command line flag.
+ - `X-Skip-String-Normalization`: corresponds to the `--skip-string-normalization`
+ command line flag. If present and its value is not the empty string, no string
+ normalization will be performed.
+ - `X-Skip-Numeric-Underscore-Normalization`: corresponds to the
+ `--skip-numeric-underscore-normalization` command line flag.
+ - `X-Fast-Or-Safe`: if set to `fast`, `blackd` will act as *Black* does when
+ passed the `--fast` command line flag.
+ - `X-Python-Variant`: if set to `pyi`, `blackd` will act as *Black* does when
+ passed the `--pyi` command line flag. Otherwise, its value must correspond to
+ a Python version. If this value represents at least Python 3.6, `blackd` will
+ act as *Black* does when passed the `--py36` command line flag.
+
+If any of these headers are set to invalid values, `blackd` returns a `HTTP 400`
+error response, mentioning the name of the problematic header in the message body.
+
+Apart from the above, `blackd` can produce the following response codes:
+
+ - `HTTP 204`: If the input is already well-formatted. The response body is
+ empty.
+ - `HTTP 200`: If formatting was needed on the input. The response body
+ contains the blackened Python code, and the `Content-Type` header is set
+ accordingly.
+ - `HTTP 400`: If the input contains a syntax error. Details of the error are
+ returned in the response body.
+ - `HTTP 500`: If there was any kind of error while trying to format the input.
+ The response body contains a textual representation of the error.
## Version control integration
is run. The file is non-portable. The standard location on common operating systems
is:
-* Windows: `C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.<line-length>.pickle`
-* macOS: `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
-* Linux: `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.pickle`
+* Windows: `C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
+* macOS: `/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
+* Linux: `/home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle`
+
+`file-mode` is an int flag that determines whether the file was formatted as 3.6+ only,
+as .pyi, and whether string normalization was omitted.

## Change Log
+### 18.9b0
+
+* numeric literals are now formatted by *Black* (#452, #461, #464, #469):
+
+ * numeric literals are normalized to include `_` separators on Python 3.6+ code
+
+ * added `--skip-numeric-underscore-normalization` to disable the above behavior and
+ leave numeric underscores as they were in the input
+
+ * code with `_` in numeric literals is recognized as Python 3.6+
+
+ * most letters in numeric literals are lowercased (e.g., in `1e10`, `0x01`)
+
+ * hexadecimal digits are always uppercased (e.g. `0xBADC0DE`)
+
+* added `blackd`, see [its documentation](#blackd) for more info (#349)
+
+* adjacent string literals are now correctly split into multiple lines (#463)
+
+* trailing comma is now added to single imports that don't fit on a line (#250)
+
+* cache is now populated when `--check` is successful for a file which speeds up
+ consecutive checks of properly formatted unmodified files (#448)
+
+* whitespace at the beginning of the file is now removed (#399)
+
+* fixed mangling [pweave](http://mpastell.com/pweave/) and
+ [Spyder IDE](https://pythonhosted.org/spyder/) special comments (#532)
+
+* fixed unstable formatting when unpacking big tuples (#267)
+
+* fixed parsing of `__future__` imports with renames (#389)
+
+* fixed scope of `# fmt: off` when directly preceding `yield` and other nodes (#385)
+
+* fixed formatting of lambda expressions with default arguments (#468)
+
+* fixed ``async for`` statements: *Black* no longer breaks them into separate
+ lines (#372)
+
+* note: the Vim plugin stopped registering ``,=`` as a default chord as it turned out
+ to be a bad idea (#415)
+
+
+### 18.6b4
+
+* hotfix: don't freeze when multiple comments directly precede `# fmt: off` (#371)
+
+
### 18.6b3
* typing stub files (`.pyi`) now have blank lines added after constants (#340)
* they now correctly work across function/class boundaries (#335)
+ * they now work when an indentation block starts with empty lines or misaligned
+ comments (#334)
+
+* made Click not fail on invalid environments; note that Click is right but the
+ likelihood we'll need to access non-ASCII file paths when dealing with Python source
+ code is low (#277)
+
* fixed improper formatting of f-strings with quotes inside interpolated
expressions (#322)
