- Fix crash when
# fmt: off
is used before a closing parenthesis or bracket. (#4363)
- Packaging metadata updated: docs are explictly linked, the issue tracker is now also linked. This improves the PyPI listing for Black. (#4345)
- Fix regression where Black failed to parse a multiline f-string containing another multiline string (#4339)
- Fix regression where Black failed to parse an escaped single quote inside an f-string (#4401)
- Fix bug with Black incorrectly parsing empty lines with a backslash (#4343)
- Fix bugs with Black's tokenizer not handling
\{
inside f-strings very well (#4422) - Fix incorrect line numbers in the tokenizer for certain tokens within f-strings (#4423)
- Improve performance when a large directory is listed in
.gitignore
(#4415)
- Fix blackd (and all extras installs) for docker container (#4357)
This is a bugfix release to fix two regressions in the new f-string parser introduced in 24.4.1.
- Fix regression where certain complex f-strings failed to parse (#4332)
- Fix bad performance on certain complex string literals (#4331)
- Add support for the new Python 3.12 f-string syntax introduced by PEP 701 (#3822)
- Fix crash involving indented dummy functions containing newlines (#4318)
- Add support for type parameter defaults, a new syntactic feature added to Python 3.13 by PEP 696 (#4327)
- Github Action now works even when
git archive
is skipped (#4313)
- Fix unwanted crashes caused by AST equivalency check (#4290)
if
guards incase
blocks are now wrapped in parentheses when the line is too long. (#4269)- Stop moving multiline strings to a new line unless inside brackets (#4289)
- Add a new option
use_pyproject
to the GitHub Actionpsf/black
. This will read the Black version frompyproject.toml
. (#4294)
This release is a milestone: it fixes Black's first CVE security vulnerability. If you run Black on untrusted input, or if you habitually put thousands of leading tab characters in your docstrings, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade immediately to fix CVE-2024-21503.
This release also fixes a bug in Black's AST safety check that allowed Black to make incorrect changes to certain f-strings that are valid in Python 3.12 and higher.
- Don't move comments along with delimiters, which could cause crashes (#4248)
- Strengthen AST safety check to catch more unsafe changes to strings. Previous versions of Black would incorrectly format the contents of certain unusual f-strings containing nested strings with the same quote type. Now, Black will crash on such strings until support for the new f-string syntax is implemented. (#4270)
- Fix a bug where line-ranges exceeding the last code line would not work as expected (#4273)
- Fix catastrophic performance on docstrings that contain large numbers of leading tab characters. This fixes CVE-2024-21503. (#4278)
- Note what happens when
--check
is used with--quiet
(#4236)
- Fixed a bug where comments where mistakenly removed along with redundant parentheses (#4218)
- 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
statementif
guards (#4214).
- Fix issue where Black would ignore input files in the presence of symlinks (#4222)
- Black now ignores
pyproject.toml
that is missing atool.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 discoveredpyproject.toml
(#4204)
- Black will swallow any
SyntaxWarning
s orDeprecationWarning
s produced by theast
module when performing equivalence checks (#4189)
- Add a JSONSchema and provide a validate-pyproject entry-point (#4181)
Bugfix release to fix a bug that made Black unusable on certain file systems with strict limits on path length.
- Consistently add trailing comma on typed parameters (#4164)
- Shorten the length of the name of the cache file to fix crashes on file systems that do not support long paths (#4176)

- 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)

- 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.
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- Fixed a bug that included dependencies from the
d
extra by default (#4108)
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.

# 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)

- Black will more consistently print stacktraces on internal errors in verbose mode (#3938)
- The action output displayed in the job summary is now wrapped in Markdown (#3914)
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.

will make Black about 2x faster (#3828) - The
.black.env

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.

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.

-
fixed 18.3a4 regression:
# yapf: disable
usage as trailing comment would cause Black to not emit the rest of the file (#95) -
when CTRL+C is pressed while formatting many files, Black no longer freaks out with a flurry of asyncio-related exceptions
-
only allow up to two empty lines on module level and only single empty lines within functions (#74)
-
# fmt: off
and# fmt: on
are implemented (#5) -
automatic detection of deprecated Python 2 forms of print statements and exec statements in the formatted file (#49)

fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)
-
fixed spurious space after star-based unary expressions (#31)
-
added
--check
-
only put trailing commas in function signatures and calls if it's safe to do so. If the file is Python 3.6+ it's always safe, otherwise only safe if there are no
