Release Notes

python/black (python/black)

v24.2.0

Compare Source

Stable style
  • Fixed a bug where comments where mistakenly removed along with redundant parentheses (#​4218)
Preview style
  • Move the hug_parens_with_braces_and_square_brackets feature to the unstable style due to an outstanding crash and proposed formatting tweaks (#​4198)
  • Fixed a bug where base expressions caused inconsistent formatting of ** in tenary expression (#​4154)
  • Checking for newline before adding one on docstring that is almost at the line limit (#​4185)
  • Remove redundant parentheses in case statement if guards (#​4214).
Configuration
  • Fix issue where Black would ignore input files in the presence of symlinks (#​4222)
  • Black now ignores pyproject.toml that is missing a tool.black section when discovering project root and configuration. Since Black continues to use version control as an indicator of project root, this is expected to primarily change behavior for users in a monorepo setup (desirably). If you wish to preserve previous behavior, simply add an empty [tool.black] to the previously discovered pyproject.toml (#​4204)
Output
  • Black will swallow any SyntaxWarnings or DeprecationWarnings produced by the ast module when performing equivalence checks (#​4189)
Integrations
  • Add a JSONSchema and provide a validate-pyproject entry-point (#​4181)

v24.1.1

Compare Source

Bugfix release to fix a bug that made Black unusable on certain file systems with strict limits on path length.

Preview style
  • Consistently add trailing comma on typed parameters (#​4164)
Configuration
  • Shorten the length of the name of the cache file to fix crashes on file systems that do not support long paths (#​4176)

v24.1.0

Compare Source

Highlights

This release introduces the new 2024 stable style (#​4106), stabilizing the following changes:

  • Add parentheses around if-else expressions (#​2278)
  • Dummy class and function implementations consisting only of ... are formatted more compactly (#​3796)
  • If an assignment statement is too long, we now prefer splitting on the right-hand side (#​3368)
  • Hex codes in Unicode escape sequences are now standardized to lowercase (#​2916)
  • Allow empty first lines at the beginning of most blocks (#​3967, #​4061)
  • Add parentheses around long type annotations (#​3899)
  • Enforce newline after module docstrings (#​3932, #​4028)
  • Fix incorrect magic trailing comma handling in return types (#​3916)
  • Remove blank lines before class docstrings (#​3692)
  • Wrap multiple context managers in parentheses if combined in a single with statement (#​3489)
  • Fix bug in line length calculations for power operations (#​3942)
  • Add trailing commas to collection literals even if there's a comment after the last entry (#​3393)
  • When using --skip-magic-trailing-comma or -C, trailing commas are stripped from subscript expressions with more than 1 element (#​3209)
  • Add extra blank lines in stubs in a few cases (#​3564, #​3862)
  • Accept raw strings as docstrings (#​3947)
  • Split long lines in case blocks (#​4024)
  • Stop removing spaces from walrus operators within subscripts (#​3823)
  • Fix incorrect formatting of certain async statements (#​3609)
  • Allow combining # fmt: skip with other comments (#​3959)

There are already a few improvements in the --preview style, which are slated for the 2025 stable style. Try them out and share your feedback. In the past, the preview style has included some features that we were not able to stabilize. This year, we're adding a separate --unstable style for features with known problems. Now, the --preview style only includes features that we actually expect to make it into next year's stable style.

Stable style

Several bug fixes were made in features that are moved to the stable style in this release:

  • Fix comment handling when parenthesising conditional expressions (#​4134)
  • Fix bug where spaces were not added around parenthesized walruses in subscripts, unlike other binary operators (#​4109)
  • Remove empty lines before docstrings in async functions (#​4132)
  • Address a missing case in the change to allow empty lines at the beginning of all blocks, except immediately before a docstring (#​4130)
  • For stubs, fix logic to enforce empty line after nested classes with bodies (#​4141)
Preview style
  • Add --unstable style, covering preview features that have known problems that would block them from going into the stable style. Also add the --enable-unstable-feature flag; for example, use --enable-unstable-feature hug_parens_with_braces_and_square_brackets to apply this preview feature throughout 2024, even if a later Black release downgrades the feature to unstable (#​4096)
  • Format module docstrings the same as class and function docstrings (#​4095)
  • Fix crash when using a walrus in a dictionary (#​4155)
  • Fix unnecessary parentheses when wrapping long dicts (#​4135)
  • Stop normalizing spaces before # fmt: skip comments (#​4146)
Configuration
  • Print warning when configuration in pyproject.toml contains an invalid key (#​4165)
  • Fix symlink handling, properly ignoring symlinks that point outside of root (#​4161)
  • Fix cache mtime logic that resulted in false positive cache hits (#​4128)
  • Remove the long-deprecated --experimental-string-processing flag. This feature can currently be enabled with --preview --enable-unstable-feature string_processing. (#​4096)
Integrations
  • Revert the change to run Black's pre-commit integration only on specific git hooks (#​3940) for better compatibility with older versions of pre-commit (#​4137)

v23.12.0

Compare Source

Highlights

It's almost 2024, which means it's time for a new edition of Black's stable style! Together with this release, we'll put out an alpha release 24.1a1 showcasing the draft 2024 stable style, which we'll finalize in the January release. Please try it out and share your feedback.

This release (23.12.0) will still produce the 2023 style. Most but not all of the changes in --preview mode will be in the 2024 stable style.

Stable style
  • Fix bug where # fmt: off automatically dedents when used with the --line-ranges option, even when it is not within the specified line range. (#​4084)
  • Fix feature detection for parenthesized context managers (#​4104)

  • Standalone form feed characters at the module level are no longer removed (#​4021)
  • Additional cases of immediately nested tuples, lists, and dictionaries are now indented less (#​4012)
  • Allow empty lines at the beginning of all blocks, except immediately before a docstring (#​4060)

  • Keep suites consisting of only an ellipsis on their own lines if they are not functions or class definitions (#​4066) (#​4103)
Configuration
  • --line-ranges now skips Black's internal stability check in --safe mode. This avoids a crash on rare inputs that have many unformatted same-content lines. (#​4034)

v23.9.1

Compare Source

Due to various issues, the previous release (23.9.0) did not include compiled mypyc wheels, which make Black significantly faster. These issues have now been fixed, and this release should come with compiled wheels once again.

There will be no wheels for Python 3.12 due to a bug in mypyc. We will provide 3.12 wheels in a future release as soon as the mypyc bug is fixed.

  • The .black.env folder specified by ENV_PATH will now be removed on the completion of the GitHub Action (#​3759)

v23.3.0

Compare Source

Highlights

This release fixes a longstanding confusing behavior in Black's GitHub action, where the version of the action did not determine the version of Black being run (issue #​3382). In addition, there is a small bug fix around imports and a number of improvements to the preview style.

Please try out the preview style with black --preview and tell us your feedback. All changes in the preview style are expected to become part of Black's stable style in January 2024.

v23.1.0

Compare Source

Highlights

This is the first release of 2023, and following our 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.

  • Do not put the closing quotes in a docstring on a separate line, even if the line is too long (#​3430)
  • Long values in dict literals are now wrapped in parentheses; correspondingly unnecessary parentheses around short values in dict literals are now removed; long string lambda values are now wrapped in parentheses (#​3440)
