December 2022 in Darker: Addressing Black compatibility and documentation improvements

[akaihola]

This period saw us addressing compatibility issues with newer versions of Black and enhancing our documentation. We closed a significant issue (#403) related to incompatibility with Black 22.12.0 and later versions. The problem stemmed from changes in Black's codebase, specifically the replacement of the gitignore argument with gitignore_dict in the gen_python_files() function. This led to the release of Darker 1.6.0, which resolved the compatibility issue.

We also made progress on improving our documentation. We started exploring the use of Mermaid diagrams to illustrate the --revision argument variations (#326). This visual approach could greatly enhance the understanding of Darker's Git-related features. Additionally, we considered using Dependabot to keep our dependencies and GitHub Action versions up to date (#341), which would help maintain the project's overall health and security.
