September 16-22, 2024 in Darker: Formatter plugins progress and cleanup for 3.0.0 release

[github-actions[bot]]

This week saw significant advancements in our formatter plugin system. We made progress on supporting Ruff as a code formatter (PR #744), addressing a long-standing feature request (#521). The groundwork for this was laid with the ongoing work to implement Black as a plugin (PR #738), which includes refactoring the codebase to accommodate multiple formatter backends.

We've also been cleaning up in preparation for the 3.0.0 release. We merged the removal of baseline linting support (PR #608), directing users to the separate Graylint tool instead. Work continues on removing deprecated options from the [tool.darker] configuration section (PR #607). Additionally, we addressed a bug where the flynt configuration option wasn't being recognized (PR #746, fixing #745).

On the housekeeping front, we're keeping things up-to-date in the GitHub Actions workflows, with an open PR to bump the actions/download-artifact action (PR #736).
