 ### Changed
-- Spotless now applies the `base` plugin to make sure that Spotless always has a `check` task to hook into. ([#1179](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/1179), fixes [#1164](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/1164), reverts [#1014](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/1014))
-  - Spotless used to work this way, we stopped applying base starting with version [`6.0.3` (released Dec 2021)](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/blob/main/plugin-gradle/CHANGES.md#603---2021-12-06) in order to play nicely with a now-outdated Android template, but not applying `base` causes more problems than it fixes (see [#1164](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/1164) for a good example).
-  - If you have anything like `tasks.register<Delete>("clean"` or `tasks.register("clean", Delete)`, just change the `register` to `named` so that you are configuring the existing `clean` created by `base`, rather than creating a new task.
+* Bump default `black` version to latest (`19.10b0` -> `22.3.0`). ([#1170](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/issues/1170))
