March 17-24, 2024 in Darker: Formatter options and CI improvements

[akaihola]

This week saw progress on supporting multiple formatters in Darker. We opened a pull request to add a formatter command line and configuration option (PR #568), laying the groundwork for future support of alternative formatters to Black. This development is part of the ongoing many-formatters sub-project and addresses the community's interest in potentially using tools like Ruff or Blue.

We made several improvements to our CI process and documentation. We now test against Flynt's master branch in our CI build (PR #563), enhancing our ability to detect potential compatibility issues early. We also updated our pre-commit hook documentation in the README (PR #565) and clarified the "How does it work?" section to better explain Darker's limitations (PR #566). On the maintenance front, we merged updates to our contributor list (PRs #554, #567) and made minor adjustments to our linting configuration (PR #556).

The community continued discussions on various feature requests, including options to choose or omit formatters (Issue #562) and making boolean configuration options overridable (Issue #301).
