+## 23.1.0
+
+### Highlights
+
+This is the first release of 2023, and following our
+[stability policy](https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style/index.html#stability-policy),
+it comes with a number of improvements to our stable style, including improvements to
+empty line handling, removal of redundant parentheses in several contexts, and output
+that highlights implicitly concatenated strings better.
+
+There are also many changes to the preview style; try out `black --preview` and give us
+feedback to help us set the stable style for next year.
+
+In addition to style changes, Black now automatically infers the supported Python
+versions from your `pyproject.toml` file, removing the need to set Black's target
+versions separately.
+
