Week of May 21-28, 2023 in Darker: Addressing compatibility issues and contributor updates

[akaihola]

This week, we focused on improving Darker's compatibility with other tools and updating our contributor information. We addressed an issue where Darker wasn't fully compatible as a drop-in replacement for Black when used with the VSCode Black Formatter extension (issue #492). The problem arose from Darker not allowing - as a source file when using the --stdin-filename option, unlike Black's behavior. A fix for this issue was implemented and merged (PR #494), making Darker behave more like Black in this scenario.

On the development front, we encountered multiple breakages with Python 3.12.dev (issue #495), including pkg_resources import errors and mismatched test result expectations in the get_multiline_string_ranges() function. Additionally, some ast module related deprecation warnings for Python 3.14 were identified. These issues highlight the need for ongoing maintenance to ensure Darker's compatibility with upcoming Python versions.

We also took the time to update our list of contributors for May-June 2023 (PR #493), acknowledging the valuable input from community members. As always, we appreciate the community's involvement in identifying issues and contributing to Darker's development.
