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.

Packaging

- Upgrade to mypy 1.5.1 (3864)

Performance

- Store raw tuples instead of NamedTuples in Black's cache, improving performance and
decreasing the size of the cache (3877)

Preview style

- More concise formatting for dummy implementations (3796)
- In stub files, add a blank line between a statement with a body (e.g an
`if sys.version_info > (3, x):`) and a function definition on the same level (3862)
- Fix a bug whereby spaces were removed from walrus operators within subscript(3823)

Configuration

- Black now applies exclusion and ignore logic before resolving symlinks (3846)

Performance

- Avoid importing `IPython` if notebook cells do not contain magics (3782)
- Improve caching by comparing file hashes as fallback for mtime and size (3821)

_Blackd_

- Fix an issue in `blackd` with single character input (3558)

Integrations

- Black now has an
[official pre-commit mirror](https://github.com/psf/black-pre-commit-mirror). Swapping
`https://github.com/psf/black` to `https://github.com/psf/black-pre-commit-mirror` in
your `.pre-commit-config.yaml` will make Black about 2x faster (3828)
- The `.black.env` folder specified by `ENV_PATH` will now be removed on the completion
of the GitHub Action (3759)

Highlights

- Runtime support for Python 3.7 has been removed. Formatting 3.7 code will still be
supported until further notice (3765)

Stable style

- Fix a bug where an illegal trailing comma was added to return type annotations using
PEP 604 unions (3735)
- Fix several bugs and crashes where comments in stub files were removed or mishandled
under some circumstances (3745)
- Fix a crash with multi-line magic comments like `type: ignore` within parentheses
(3740)
- Fix error in AST validation when _Black_ removes trailing whitespace in a type comment
(3773)

Preview style

- Implicitly concatenated strings used as function args are no longer wrapped inside
parentheses (3640)
- Remove blank lines between a class definition and its docstring (3692)

Configuration

- The `--workers` argument to _Black_ can now be specified via the `BLACK_NUM_WORKERS`
environment variable (3743)
- `.pytest_cache`, `.ruff_cache` and `.vscode` are now excluded by default (3691)
- Fix _Black_ not honouring `pyproject.toml` settings when running `--stdin-filename`
and the `pyproject.toml` found isn't in the current working directory (3719)
- _Black_ will now error if `exclude` and `extend-exclude` have invalid data types in
`pyproject.toml`, instead of silently doing the wrong thing (3764)

Packaging

- Upgrade mypyc from 0.991 to 1.3 (3697)
- Remove patching of Click that mitigated errors on Python 3.6 with `LANG=C` (3768)

Parser

- Add support for the new PEP 695 syntax in Python 3.12 (3703)

Performance

- Speed up _Black_ significantly when the cache is full (3751)
- Avoid importing `IPython` in a case where we wouldn't need it (3748)

Output

- Use aware UTC datetimes internally, avoids deprecation warning on Python 3.12 (3728)
- Change verbose logging to exactly mirror _Black_'s logic for source discovery (3749)

_Blackd_

- The `blackd` argument parser now shows the default values for options in their help
text (3712)

Integrations

- Black is now tested with
[`PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING = 1`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io-encoding-warning)
(3763)
- Update GitHub Action to display black output in the job summary (3688)

Documentation

- Add a CITATION.cff file to the root of the repository, containing metadata on how to
cite this software (3723)
- Update the _classes_ and _exceptions_ documentation in Developer reference to match
the latest code base (3755)

Deprecated
----------

* 11412: Emit warnings on using a deprecated Python-specific index entry type
(namely, ``module``, ``keyword``, ``operator``, ``object``, ``exception``,
``statement``, and ``builtin``) in the :rst:dir:`index` directive, and
set the removal version to Sphinx 9. Patch by Adam Turner.

Features added
--------------

* 11415: Add a checksum to JavaScript and CSS asset URIs included within
generated HTML, using the CRC32 algorithm.
* :meth:`~sphinx.application.Sphinx.require_sphinx` now allows the version
requirement to be specified as ``(major, minor)``.
* 11011: Allow configuring a line-length limit for object signatures, via
:confval:`maximum_signature_line_length` and the domain-specific variants.
If the length of the signature (in characters) is greater than the configured
limit, each parameter in the signature will be split to its own logical line.
This behaviour may also be controlled by options on object description

for type parameters list and can be locally controlled on object description
directives, e.g., :rst:dir:`py:function:single-line-type-parameter-list`.
Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
* 11484: linkcheck: Allow HTML anchors to be ignored on a per-URL basis
via :confval:`linkcheck_anchors_ignore_for_url` while
still checking the validity of the page itself.
Patch by Bénédikt Tran
* 1246: Add translation progress statistics and inspection support,
via a new substitution (``|translation progress|``) and a new
configuration variable (:confval:`translation_progress_classes`).
These enable determining the percentage of translated elements within
a document, and the remaining translated and untranslated elements.

Bugs fixed
----------

* Restored the ``footnote-reference`` class that has been removed in
the latest (unreleased) version of Docutils.
* 11486: Use :rfc:`8081` font file MIME types in the EPUB builder.
Using the correct MIME type will prevent warnings from ``epubcheck``
and will generate a valid EPUB.
* 11435: Use microsecond-resolution timestamps for outdated file detection
in ``BuildEnvironment.get_outdated_files``.
* 11437: Top-level headings starting with a reStructuredText role
now render properly when :confval:`rst_prolog` is set.
Previously, a file starting with the below would have
improperly rendered due to where the prologue text
was inserted into the document.

See :ref:`sphinxbox`. (refs: 11224)
* LaTeX: add ``\sphinxstylenotetitle``, ..., ``\sphinxstylewarningtitle``, ...,
for an extra layer of mark-up freeing up ``\sphinxstrong`` for other uses.
See :ref:`latex-macros`. (refs: 11267)
* LaTeX: :dudir:`note`, :dudir:`hint`, :dudir:`important` and :dudir:`tip` can
now each be styled as the other admonitions, i.e. possibly with a background
color, individual border widths and paddings, possibly rounded corners, and
optional shadow.  See :ref:`additionalcss`. (refs: 11234)

Testing
-------

* Fail testing when any Python warnings are emitted
* Migrate remaining ``unittest.TestCase`` style test functions to pytest style
* Remove tests that rely on setuptools

------------------------

* Adds initial compatibility with Django 5.0, prior to Django 5.0a1.

* Updates packaging to use pyproject.toml and Flit.

------------------------

* Deprecated the schema generation methods of the DRF related ``DjangoFilterBackend``.
These will be removed in version 25.1.

You should use `drf-spectacular <https://drf-spectacular.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_
for generating OpenAPI schemas with DRF.

* In addition, stopped testing against the (very old now) ``coreapi`` schema generation.
These methods should continue to work if you're using them until v25.1, but
``coreapi`` is no longer maintained, and is raising warnings against the current
versions of Python. To workaround this is not worth the effort at this point.

* Updated Polish translations.

------------------

*New:*

 - :issue:`366`: Add :class:`factory.django.Password` to generate Django :class:`~django.contrib.auth.models.User`
   passwords.
 - :issue:`304`: Add :attr:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyOptions.sqlalchemy_session_factory` to dynamically
   create sessions for use by the :class:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory`.
 - Add support for Django 4.0
 - Add support for Django 4.1
 - Add support for Python 3.10
 - Add support for Python 3.11

*Bugfix:*

 - Make :meth:`~factory.django.mute_signals` mute signals during post-generation.

 - :issue:`775`: Change the signature for :meth:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory._save` and
   :meth:`~factory.alchemy.SQLAlchemyModelFactory._get_or_create` to avoid argument names clashes with a field named
   ``session``.

*Deprecated:*

 - :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` will stop issuing a second call to
   :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save` on the created instance when :ref:`post-generation-hooks` return a value.

   To help with the transition, :class:`factory.django.DjangoModelFactory._after_postgeneration` raises a
   :class:`DeprecationWarning` when calling :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save`. Inspect your
   :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory` subclasses:

   - If the :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save` call is not needed after :class:`~factory.PostGeneration`, set
     :attr:`factory.django.DjangoOptions.skip_postgeneration_save` to ``True`` in the factory meta.

   - Otherwise, the instance has been modified by :class:`~factory.PostGeneration` hooks and needs to be
     :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save`\ d. Either:

       - call :meth:`django.db.models.Model.save` in the :class:`~factory.PostGeneration` hook that modifies the
         instance, or
       - override :class:`~factory.django.DjangoModelFactory._after_postgeneration` to
         :meth:`~django.db.models.Model.save` the instance.

*Removed:*

 - Drop support for Django 2.2
 - Drop support for Django 3.0
 - Drop support for Django 3.1
 - Drop support for Python 3.6

=========================

Bug Fixes
---------

- `11237 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11237>`_: Fix doctest collection of `functools.cached_property` objects.


- `11306 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11306>`_: Fixed bug using ``--importmode=importlib`` which would cause package ``__init__.py`` files to be imported more than once in some cases.


- `11367 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11367>`_: Fixed bug where `user_properties` where not being saved in the JUnit XML file if a fixture failed during teardown.


- `11394 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11394>`_: Fixed crash when parsing long command line arguments that might be interpreted as files.



Improved Documentation
----------------------

- `11391 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11391>`_: Improved disclaimer on pytest plugin reference page to better indicate this is an automated, non-curated listing.

=========================

Bug Fixes
---------

- `10337 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10337>`_: Fixed bug where fake intermediate modules generated by ``--import-mode=importlib`` would not include the
child modules as attributes of the parent modules.


- `10702 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10702>`_: Fixed error assertion handling in :func:`pytest.approx` when ``None`` is an expected or received value when comparing dictionaries.


- `10811 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10811>`_: Fixed issue when using ``--import-mode=importlib`` together with ``--doctest-modules`` that caused modules
to be imported more than once, causing problems with modules that have import side effects.

=========================

Features
--------

- `10901 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10901>`_: Added :func:`ExceptionInfo.from_exception() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.from_exception>`, a simpler way to create an :class:`~pytest.ExceptionInfo` from an exception.
This can replace :func:`ExceptionInfo.from_exc_info() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.from_exc_info()>` for most uses.



Improvements
------------

- `10872 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10872>`_: Update test log report annotation to named tuple and fixed inconsistency in docs for :hook:`pytest_report_teststatus` hook.


- `10907 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10907>`_: When an exception traceback to be displayed is completely filtered out (by mechanisms such as ``__tracebackhide__``, internal frames, and similar), now only the exception string and the following message are shown:

"All traceback entries are hidden. Pass `--full-trace` to see hidden and internal frames.".

Previously, the last frame of the traceback was shown, even though it was hidden.


- `10940 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10940>`_: Improved verbose output (``-vv``) of ``skip`` and ``xfail`` reasons by performing text wrapping while leaving a clear margin for progress output.

Added ``TerminalReporter.wrap_write()`` as a helper for that.


- `10991 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10991>`_: Added handling of ``%f`` directive to print microseconds in log format options, such as ``log-date-format``.


- `11005 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11005>`_: Added the underlying exception to the cache provider's path creation and write warning messages.


- `11013 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11013>`_: Added warning when :confval:`testpaths` is set, but paths are not found by glob. In this case, pytest will fall back to searching from the current directory.


- `11043 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11043>`_: When `--confcutdir` is not specified, and there is no config file present, the conftest cutoff directory (`--confcutdir`) is now set to the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`.
Previously in such cases, `conftest.py` files would be probed all the way to the root directory of the filesystem.
If you are badly affected by this change, consider adding an empty config file to your desired cutoff directory, or explicitly set `--confcutdir`.


- `11081 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11081>`_: The :confval:`norecursedirs` check is now performed in a :hook:`pytest_ignore_collect` implementation, so plugins can affect it.

If after updating to this version you see that your `norecursedirs` setting is not being respected,
it means that a conftest or a plugin you use has a bad `pytest_ignore_collect` implementation.
Most likely, your hook returns `False` for paths it does not want to ignore,
which ends the processing and doesn't allow other plugins, including pytest itself, to ignore the path.
The fix is to return `None` instead of `False` for paths your hook doesn't want to ignore.


- `8711 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8711>`_: :func:`caplog.set_level() <pytest.LogCaptureFixture.set_level>` and :func:`caplog.at_level() <pytest.LogCaptureFixture.at_level>`
will temporarily enable the requested ``level`` if ``level`` was disabled globally via
``logging.disable(LEVEL)``.



Bug Fixes
---------

- `10831 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10831>`_: Terminal Reporting: Fixed bug when running in ``--tb=line`` mode where ``pytest.fail(pytrace=False)`` tests report ``None``.


- `11068 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11068>`_: Fixed the ``--last-failed`` whole-file skipping functionality ("skipped N files") for :ref:`non-python test files <non-python tests>`.


- `11104 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11104>`_: Fixed a regression in pytest 7.3.2 which caused to :confval:`testpaths` to be considered for loading initial conftests,
even when it was not utilized (e.g. when explicit paths were given on the command line).
Now the ``testpaths`` are only considered when they are in use.


- `1904 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1904>`_: Fixed traceback entries hidden with ``__tracebackhide__ = True`` still being shown for chained exceptions (parts after "... the above exception ..." message).


- `7781 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7781>`_: Fix writing non-encodable text to log file when using ``--debug``.



Improved Documentation
----------------------

- `9146 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9146>`_: Improved documentation for :func:`caplog.set_level() <pytest.LogCaptureFixture.set_level>`.



Trivial/Internal Changes
------------------------

- `11031 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11031>`_: Enhanced the CLI flag for ``-c`` to now include ``--config-file`` to make it clear that this flag applies to the usage of a custom config file.

=========================

Bug Fixes
---------

- `10169 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10169>`_: Fix bug where very long option names could cause pytest to break with ``OSError: [Errno 36] File name too long`` on some systems.


- `10894 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10894>`_: Support for Python 3.12 (beta at the time of writing).


- `10987 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10987>`_: :confval:`testpaths` is now honored to load root ``conftests``.


- `10999 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10999>`_: The `monkeypatch` `setitem`/`delitem` type annotations now allow `TypedDict` arguments.


- `11028 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11028>`_: Fixed bug in assertion rewriting where a variable assigned with the walrus operator could not be used later in a function call.


- `11054 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11054>`_: Fixed ``--last-failed``'s "(skipped N files)" functionality for files inside of packages (directories with `__init__.py` files).
