Astral shipped it July 23 and it hit 251 points and 152 comments on HN (Astral). The default jump surfaces syntax errors and runtime-failure classes previously hidden behind opt-in config. Also new: formatting Python inside Markdown fenced blocks (python/py/python3/py3/pyi/pycon), ruff: ignore and ruff: file-ignore suppression comments with an --add-ignore CLI flag, inline diffs in check and format --check output, and twelve rules promoted from preview to stable. One breaking change to watch if you parse output: JSON fields filename, location, and end_location may now be null. Expect a noisy first run.
