September 23-29, 2024 in Darker: Formatter plugins progress and preparing for 3.0.0 release

[github-actions[bot]]

This week saw continued work for our formatter plugin system. A contributor offered review help with implementing Ruff as a code formatter (PR #744), building upon the ongoing work to implement Black as a plugin (PR #738).

We're still preparing for the 3.0.0 release. We merged the removal of deprecated options from the [tool.darker] configuration section (PR #607), addressing a long-standing cleanup task. PR #591 is still awaiting review to finalize enhancing our GitHub Action, including respecting the working-directory input and adding new exitcode and stdout outputs. A contributor also addressed a bug where the flynt configuration option wasn't being recognized (PR #746), and that PR is still being finalized.

On the housekeeping front, we updated our GitHub Actions workflows by bumping the actions/download-artifact action to version 4.1.7 (PR #736). We also made adjustments to keep Pylint at version 3.2.7 to maintain Python 3.8 support for a bit longer (PR #749), while preparing for an eventual upgrade once Python 3.8 reaches end-of-life.
