October 21-27, 2024 in Darker: Documentation and Dependabot setup kicks off

[github-actions[bot]]

We started work on a new Sphinx-based documentation site for Read the Docs (PR #764), addressing a long-standing need from issue #78. Additionally, we added Dependabot configuration (PR #763) to help keep our dependencies up to date, though there are still some questions about its compatibility with our setuptools based package structure.

The discussion about supporting ruff check --fix as a formatter (issue #758) continued with interesting proposals. One approach being considered is applying fixes to entire files when they intersect with user modifications, similar to what we're implementing for pyupgrade. Another suggestion involves comparing diffs between formatter runs on modified and unmodified code versions to determine which changes to keep. Both approaches aim to handle the challenges of AST-modifying formatters while maintaining Darker's line-based modification tracking.

The GitHub Action improvement (PR #591) is still pending review and blocking the 3.0.0 release. We're actively seeking reviewers to help move this forward and unblock the release process.
