7 - Respect `.gitignore` files in all levels, not only `root/.gitignore` file (apply
8 `.gitignore` rules like `git` does) (#2225)
9 - Restored compatibility with Click 8.0 on Python 3.6 when LANG=C used (#2227)
13 - Add a lower bound for the `aiohttp-cors` dependency. Only 0.4.0 or higher is
18 - Release self-contained macOS binaries as part of the GitHub release pipeline (#2198)

33 - Replaced all remaining references to the
34 [`master`](https://github.com/psf/black/tree/main) branch with the
35 [`main`](https://github.com/psf/black/tree/main) branch. Some additional changes in
36 the source code were also made. (#2210)
37 - Sigificantly reorganized the documentation to make much more sense. Check them out by
