Description

MapRoulette is using scalafmt 2.3.2 (see .scalafmt.conf) and it's quite old from Dec 2019. It's time to start updating to newer versions! The latest is v3.7.x and jumping to the latest isn't likely to work. It should be easier to slowly move forward to last 2.x build like v2.7.5 or even slower by using v2.4.x.

Research direction

Start with .scalafmt.conf, which currently specifies Scalafmt 2.3.2, and review the compatibility notes for the proposed later 2.x releases. Update the configuration to a compatible newer 2.x version, then verify that the repository's formatting checks still pass.
