January 6-12, 2025 in Darker: GitHub Actions improvements and PyUpgrade formatter release

[github-actions[bot]]

The PyUpgrade formatter plugin (#755) landed this week, allowing users to automatically upgrade Python syntax through Darker. The feature comes with detailed documentation, test dependencies, and CI integration.

The Darker GitHub Action received several enhancements with support for working directory specification (#591), refined caching strategies (#773), and better compatibility with future Python versions (#803).

We opened two new tracking issues for future work: Python 3.14 compatibility (#807) addressing AST-related deprecation warnings, and migration from Setuptools to pyproject.toml (#806) which requires finding an alternative solution for handling contributor tables in README.rst.

The change log structure was improved with a new "Internal" section (#805), helping to better organize our release notes.
