*****************


Changes between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5dev
==================================

* never consider a fixture function for test function collection

* allow re-running of test items / helps to fix pytest-reruntests
  plugin and also help to keep less fixture/resource references alive

* put captured stdout/stderr into junitxml output even for passing
  tests (thanks Adam Goucher)

* Issue 265 - integrate nose setup/teardown with setupstate so it
  doesnt try to teardown if it did not setup

* issue 271 - dont write junitxml on slave nodes

* Issue 274 - dont try to show full doctest example when doctest does
  not know the example location

* issue 280 - disable assertion rewriting on buggy CPython 2.6.0

* inject "getfixture()" helper to retrieve fixtures from doctests,
  thanks Andreas Zeidler

* issue 259 - when assertion rewriting, be consistent with the default
  source encoding of ASCII on Python 2

* issue 251 - report a skip instead of ignoring classes with init

* issue250 unicode/str mixes in parametrization names and values now
  works

* issue257, assertion-triggered compilation of source ending in a
  comment line doesn't blow up in python2.5 (fixed through
  py>=1.4.13.dev6)

* fix --genscript option to generate standalone scripts that also work
  with python3.3 (importer ordering)

* issue171 - in assertion rewriting, show the repr of some global
  variables

* fix option help for "-k"

* move long description of distribution into README.rst

* improve docstring for metafunc.parametrize()

* fix bug where using capsys with pytest.set_trace() in a test
  function would break when looking at capsys.readouterr()

* allow to specify prefixes starting with "_" when customizing
  python_functions test discovery. (thanks Graham Horler)

* improve PYTEST_DEBUG tracing output by puting extra data on a new
  lines with additional indent

* ensure OutcomeExceptions like skip/fail have initialized exception
  attributes

* issue 260 - don't use nose special setup on plain unittest cases

* fix issue134 - print the collect errors that prevent running
  specified test items

* fix issue266 - accept unicode in MarkEvaluator expressions


Changes between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4
===============================

* yielded test functions will now have autouse-fixtures active but
  cannot accept fixtures as funcargs - it's anyway recommended to
  rather use the post-2.0 parametrize features instead of yield, see:
  http://pytest.org/latest/example/parametrize.html

* fix autouse-issue where autouse-fixtures would not be discovered if
  defined in a a/conftest.py file and tests in a/tests/test_some.py

* fix issue226 - LIFO ordering for fixture teardowns

* fix issue224 - invocations with >256 char arguments now work

* fix issue91 - add/discuss package/directory level setups in example

* allow to dynamically define markers via
  item.keywords[...]=assignment integrating with "-m" option

* make "-k" accept an expressions the same as with "-m" so that one
  can write: -k "name1 or name2" etc.  This is a slight
  incompatibility if you used special syntax like
  "TestClass.test_method" which you now need to write as -k "TestClass
  and test_method" to match a certain method in a certain test class.


Changes between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3
===============================

* fix issue214 - parse modules that contain special objects like e. g.
  flask's request object which blows up on getattr access if no
  request is active. thanks Thomas Waldmann.

* fix issue213 - allow to parametrize with values like numpy arrays
  that do not support an __eq__ operator

* fix issue215 - split test_python.org into multiple files

* fix issue148 - @unittest.skip on classes is now recognized and
  avoids calling setUpClass/tearDownClass, thanks Pavel Repin

  pylib which re-introduced statement-finding for pre-AST interpreters

* nose support: only call setup if its a callable, thanks Andrew
  Taumoefolau

* fix issue219 - add py2.4-3.3 classifiers to TROVE list

* in tracebacks *,** arg values are now shown next to normal arguments
  (thanks Manuel Jacob)

* fix issue217 - support mock.patch with pytest's fixtures - note that
  you need either mock-1.0.1 or the python3.3 builtin unittest.mock.

* fix issue127 - improve documentation for pytest_addoption() and add
  a "config.getoption(name)" helper function for consistency.


Changes between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2
===============================

* fix issue208 and fix issue29 use new py version to avoid long pauses
  when printing tracebacks in long modules

* fix issue205 - conftests in subdirs customizing
  pytest_pycollect_makemodule and pytest_pycollect_makeitem now work
  properly

* fix teardown-ordering for parametrized setups

* fix issue127 - better documentation for pytest_addoption and related
  objects.

* fix unittest behaviour: TestCase.runtest only called if there are
  test methods defined

* improve trial support: don't collect its empty
  unittest.TestCase.runTest() method

* "python setup.py test" now works with pytest itself

* fix/improve internal/packaging related bits:

  * exception message check of test_nose.py now passes on python33 as
    well

  * issue206 - fix test_assertrewrite.py to work when a global
    PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 is present

  * add tox.ini to pytest distribution so that ignore-dirs and others
    config bits are properly distributed for maintainers who run
    pytest-own tests


Changes between 2.3.0 and 2.3.1
===============================

* fix issue202 - fix regression: using "self" from fixture functions
  now works as expected (it's the same "self" instance that a test
  method which uses the fixture sees)

* skip pexpect using tests (test_pdb.py mostly) on freebsd* systems
  due to pexpect not supporting it properly (hanging)

* link to web pages from --markers output which provides help for
  pytest.mark.* usage.


Changes between 2.2.4 and 2.3.0
===============================

* fix issue202 - better automatic names for parametrized test
  functions

* fix issue139 - introduce @pytest.fixture which allows direct scoping
  and parametrization of funcarg factories.

* fix issue198 - conftest fixtures were not found on windows32 in some
  circumstances with nested directory structures due to path
  manipulation issues

* fix issue193 skip test functions with were parametrized with empty
  parameter sets

* fix python3.3 compat, mostly reporting bits that previously depended
  on dict ordering

* introduce re-ordering of tests by resource and parametrization setup
  which takes precedence to the usual file-ordering

* fix issue185 monkeypatching time.time does not cause pytest to fail

* fix issue172 duplicate call of pytest.fixture decoratored
  setup_module functions

* fix junitxml=path construction so that if tests change the current
  working directory and the path is a relative path it is constructed
  correctly from the original current working dir.

* fix "python setup.py test" example to cause a proper "errno" return

* fix issue165 - fix broken doc links and mention stackoverflow for
  FAQ

* catch unicode-issues when writing failure representations to
  terminal to prevent the whole session from crashing

* fix xfail/skip confusion: a skip-mark or an imperative pytest.skip
  will now take precedence before xfail-markers because we can't
  determine xfail/xpass status in case of a skip. see also:
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11105828/in-py-test-when-i
  -explicitly-skip-a-test-that-is-marked-as-xfail-how-can-i-get

* always report installed 3rd party plugins in the header of a test
  run

* fix issue160: a failing setup of an xfail-marked tests should be
  reported as xfail (not xpass)

* fix issue128: show captured output when capsys/capfd are used

* fix issue179: propperly show the dependency chain of factories

* pluginmanager.register(...) now raises ValueError if the plugin has
  been already registered or the name is taken

* fix issue159: improve http://pytest.org/latest/faq.html especially
  with respect to the "magic" history, also mention pytest-django,
  trial and unittest integration.

* make request.keywords and node.keywords writable.  All descendant
  collection nodes will see keyword values.  Keywords are dictionaries
  containing markers and other info.

* fix issue 178: xml binary escapes are now wrapped in py.xml.raw

* fix issue 176: correctly catch the builtin AssertionError even when
  we replaced AssertionError with a subclass on the python level

* factory discovery no longer fails with magic global callables that
  provide no sane __code__ object (mock.call for example)

* fix issue 182: testdir.inprocess_run now considers passed plugins

* fix issue 188: ensure sys.exc_info is clear on python2
     before calling into a test

* fix issue 191: add unittest TestCase runTest method support

* fix issue 156: monkeypatch correctly handles class level descriptors

* reporting refinements:

  * pytest_report_header now receives a "startdir" so that you can use
    startdir.bestrelpath(yourpath) to show nice relative path

  * allow plugins to implement both pytest_report_header and
    pytest_sessionstart (sessionstart is invoked first).

  * don't show deselected reason line if there is none

  * py.test -vv will show all of assert comparisations instead of
    truncating


Changes between 2.2.3 and 2.2.4
===============================

* fix error message for rewritten assertions involving the % operator

* fix issue 126: correctly match all invalid xml characters for
  junitxml binary escape

  should be processed correctly (you can also use @pytest.mark
  markers)

* document integration with the extended distribute/setuptools test
  commands

  classmethods for setup/teardown_class

* fix issue #141: switch from the deceased paste.pocoo.org to
  bpaste.net

* fix issue #143: call unconfigure/sessionfinish always when
  configure/sessionstart where called

* fix issue #144: better mangle test ids to junitxml classnames

* upgrade distribute_setup.py to 0.6.27


Changes between 2.2.2 and 2.2.3
===============================

* fix uploaded package to only include neccesary files


Changes between 2.2.1 and 2.2.2
===============================

* fix issue101: wrong args to unittest.TestCase test function now
  produce better output

* fix issue102: report more useful errors and hints for when a test
  directory was renamed and some pyc/__pycache__ remain

* fix issue106: allow parametrize to be applied multiple times e.g.
  from module, class and at function level.

* fix issue107: actually perform session scope finalization

* don't check in parametrize if indirect parameters are funcarg names

* add chdir method to monkeypatch funcarg

* fix crash resulting from calling monkeypatch undo a second time

* fix issue115: make --collectonly robust against early failure
  (missing files/directories)

* "-qq --collectonly" now shows only files and the number of tests in
  them

* "-q --collectonly" now shows test ids

* allow adding of attributes to test reports such that it also works
  with distributed testing (no upgrade of pytest-xdist needed)


Changes between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1
===============================

* fix issue99 (in pytest and py) internallerrors with resultlog now
  produce better output - fixed by normalizing pytest_internalerror
  input arguments.

* fix issue97 / traceback issues (in pytest and py) improve traceback
  output in conjunction with jinja2 and cython which hack tracebacks

* fix issue93 (in pytest and pytest-xdist) avoid "delayed teardowns":
  the final test in a test node will now run its teardown directly
  instead of waiting for the end of the session. Thanks Dave Hunt for
  the good reporting and feedback.  The pytest_runtest_protocol as
  well as the pytest_runtest_teardown hooks now have "nextitem"
  available which will be None indicating the end of the test run.

* fix collection crash due to unknown-source collected items, thanks
  to Ralf Schmitt (fixed by depending on a more recent pylib)


Changes between 2.1.3 and 2.2.0
===============================

* fix issue90: introduce eager tearing down of test items so that
  teardown function are called earlier.

* add an all-powerful metafunc.parametrize function which allows to
  parametrize test function arguments in multiple steps and therefore
  from indepdenent plugins and palces.

* add a @pytest.mark.parametrize helper which allows to easily call a
  test function with different argument values

* Add examples to the "parametrize" example page, including a quick
  port of Test scenarios and the new parametrize function and
  decorator.

* introduce registration for "pytest.mark.*" helpers via ini-files or
  through plugin hooks.  Also introduce a "--strict" option which will
  treat unregistered markers as errors allowing to avoid typos and
  maintain a well described set of markers for your test suite.  See
  exaples at http://pytest.org/latest/mark.html and its links.

* issue50: introduce "-m marker" option to select tests based on
  markers (this is a stricter and more predictable version of '-k' in
  that "-m" only matches complete markers and has more obvious rules
  for and/or semantics.

* new feature to help optimizing the speed of your tests:
  --durations=N option for displaying N slowest test calls and
  setup/teardown methods.

* fix issue87: --pastebin now works with python3

* fix issue89: --pdb with unexpected exceptions in doctest work more
  sensibly

* fix and cleanup pytest's own test suite to not leak FDs

* fix issue83: link to generated funcarg list

* fix issue74: pyarg module names are now checked against
  imp.find_module false positives

* fix compatibility with twisted/trial-11.1.0 use cases

* simplify Node.listchain

* simplify junitxml output code by relying on py.xml

* add support for skip properties on unittest classes and functions


Changes between 2.1.2 and 2.1.3
===============================

* fix issue79: assertion rewriting failed on some comparisons in
  boolops

* correctly handle zero length arguments (a la pytest '')

* fix issue67 / junitxml now contains correct test durations, thanks
  ronny

* fix issue75 / skipping test failure on jython

* fix issue77 / Allow assertrepr_compare hook to apply to a subset of
  tests


Changes between 2.1.1 and 2.1.2
===============================

* fix assertion rewriting on files with windows newlines on some
  Python versions

* refine test discovery by package/module name (--pyargs), thanks
  Florian Mayer

* fix issue69 / assertion rewriting fixed on some boolean operations

* fix issue68 / packages now work with assertion rewriting

* fix issue66: use different assertion rewriting caches when the -O
  option is passed

* don't try assertion rewriting on Jython, use reinterp


Changes between 2.1.0 and 2.1.1
===============================

* fix issue64 / pytest.set_trace now works within
  pytest_generate_tests hooks

* fix issue60 / fix error conditions involving the creation of
  __pycache__

* fix issue63 / assertion rewriting on inserts involving strings
  containing '%'

* fix assertion rewriting on calls with a ** arg

* don't cache rewritten modules if bytecode generation is disabled

* fix assertion rewriting in read-only directories

* fix issue59: provide system-out/err tags for junitxml output

* fix issue61: assertion rewriting on boolean operations with 3 or
  more operands

* you can now build a man page with "cd doc ; make man"


Changes between 2.0.3 and 2.1.0.DEV
===================================

* fix issue53 call nosestyle setup functions with correct ordering

* fix issue58 and issue59: new assertion code fixes

* merge Benjamin's assertionrewrite branch: now assertions for test
  modules on python 2.6 and above are done by rewriting the AST and
  saving the pyc file before the test module is imported. see
  doc/assert.txt for more info.

* fix issue43: improve doctests with better traceback reporting on
  unexpected exceptions

* fix issue47: timing output in junitxml for test cases is now correct

* fix issue48: typo in MarkInfo repr leading to exception

* show releaselevel information in test runs for pypy

* reworked doc pages for better navigation and PDF generation

* report KeyboardInterrupt even if interrupted during session startup

* fix issue 35 - provide PDF doc version and download link from index
  page


Changes between 2.0.2 and 2.0.3
===============================

* fix issue38: nicer tracebacks on calls to hooks, particularly early
  configure/sessionstart ones

* fix missing skip reason/meta information in junitxml files, reported
  via http://lists.idyll.org/pipermail/testing-in-
  python/2011-March/003928.html

* fix issue34: avoid collection failure with "test" prefixed classes
  deriving from object.

* don't require zlib (and other libs) for genscript plugin without
  --genscript actually being used.

* speed up skips (by not doing a full traceback represenation
  internally)

* fix issue37: avoid invalid characters in junitxml's output


Changes between 2.0.1 and 2.0.2
===============================

* tackle issue32 - speed up test runs of very quick test functions by
  reducing the relative overhead

* fix issue30 - extended xfail/skipif handling and improved reporting.
  If you have a syntax error in your skip/xfail expressions you now
  get nice error reports.

  Also you can now access module globals from xfail/skipif expressions
  so that this for example works now:

     import pytest
     import mymodule
     @pytest.mark.skipif("mymodule.__version__[0] == "1")
     def test_function():
         pass

  This will not run the test function if the module's version string
  does not start with a "1".  Note that specifying a string instead of
  a boolean expressions allows py.test to report meaningful
  information when summarizing a test run as to what conditions lead
  to skipping (or xfail-ing) tests.

* fix issue28 - setup_method and pytest_generate_tests work together
  The setup_method fixture method now gets called also for test
  function invocations generated from the pytest_generate_tests hook.

* fix issue27 - collectonly and keyword-selection (-k) now work
  together Also, if you do "py.test --collectonly -q" you now get a
  flat list of test ids that you can use to paste to the py.test
  commandline in order to execute a particular test.

* fix issue25 avoid reported problems with --pdb and
  python3.2/encodings output

* fix issue23 - tmpdir argument now works on Python3.2 and WindowsXP
  Starting with Python3.2 os.symlink may be supported. By requiring a
  newer py lib version the py.path.local() implementation acknowledges
  this.

* fixed typos in the docs (thanks Victor Garcia, Brianna Laugher) and
  particular thanks to Laura Creighton who also revieved parts of the
  documentation.

* fix slighly wrong output of verbose progress reporting for classes
  (thanks Amaury)

* more precise (avoiding of) deprecation warnings for
  node.Class|Function accesses

* avoid std unittest assertion helper code in tracebacks (thanks
  Ronny)


Changes between 2.0.0 and 2.0.1
===============================

* refine and unify initial capturing so that it works nicely even if
  the logging module is used on an early-loaded conftest.py file or
  plugin.

* allow to omit "()" in test ids to allow for uniform test ids as
  produced by Alfredo's nice pytest.vim plugin.

* fix issue12 - show plugin versions with "--version" and "--
  traceconfig" and also document how to add extra information to
  reporting test header

* fix issue17 (import-* reporting issue on python3) by requiring
  py>1.4.0 (1.4.1 is going to include it)

* fix issue10 (numpy arrays truth checking) by refining assertion
  interpretation in py lib

* fix issue15: make nose compatibility tests compatible with python3
  (now that nose-1.0 supports python3)

* remove somewhat surprising "same-conftest" detection because it
  ignores conftest.py when they appear in several subdirs.

* improve assertions ("not in"), thanks Floris Bruynooghe

* improve behaviour/warnings when running on top of "python -OO"
  (assertions and docstrings are turned off, leading to potential
  false positives)

* introduce a pytest_cmdline_processargs(args) hook to allow dynamic
  computation of command line arguments. This fixes a regression
  because py.test prior to 2.0 allowed to set command line options
  from conftest.py files which so far pytest-2.0 only allowed from
  ini-files now.

* fix issue7: assert failures in doctest modules. unexpected failures
  in doctests will not generally show nicer, i.e. within the doctest
  failing context.

* fix issue9: setup/teardown functions for an xfail-marked test will
  report as xfail if they fail but report as normally passing (not
  xpassing) if they succeed.  This only is true for "direct"
  setup/teardown invocations because teardown_class/ teardown_module
  cannot closely relate to a single test.

* fix issue14: no logging errors at process exit

* refinements to "collecting" output on non-ttys

* refine internal plugin registration and --traceconfig output

* introduce a mechanism to prevent/unregister plugins from the command
  line, see http://pytest.org/plugins.html#cmdunregister

* activate resultlog plugin by default

* fix regression wrt yielded tests which due to the collection-before-
  running semantics were not setup as with pytest 1.3.4.  Note,
  however, that the recommended and much cleaner way to do test
  parametraization remains the "pytest_generate_tests" mechanism, see
  the docs.


Changes between 1.3.4 and 2.0.0
===============================

* pytest-2.0 is now its own package and depends on pylib-2.0

* new ability: python -m pytest / python -m pytest.main ability

* new python invcation: pytest.main(args, plugins) to load some custom
  plugins early.

* try harder to run unittest test suites in a more compatible manner
  by deferring setup/teardown semantics to the unittest package. also
  work harder to run twisted/trial and Django tests which should now
  basically work by default.

* introduce a new way to set config options via ini-style files, by
  default setup.cfg and tox.ini files are searched.  The old ways
  (certain environment variables, dynamic conftest.py reading is
  removed).

* add a new "-q" option which decreases verbosity and prints a more
  nose/unittest-style "dot" output.

* fix issue135 - marks now work with unittest test cases as well

* fix issue126 - introduce py.test.set_trace() to trace execution via
  PDB during the running of tests even if capturing is ongoing.

* fix issue123 - new "python -m py.test" invocation for py.test
  (requires Python 2.5 or above)

* fix issue124 - make reporting more resilient against tests opening
  files on filedescriptor 1 (stdout).

* fix issue109 - sibling conftest.py files will not be loaded. (and
  Directory collectors cannot be customized anymore from a Directory's
  conftest.py - this needs to happen at least one level up).

* introduce (customizable) assertion failure representations and
  enhance output on assertion failures for comparisons and other cases
  (Floris Bruynooghe)

* nose-plugin: pass through type-signature failures in setup/teardown
  functions instead of not calling them (Ed Singleton)

* remove py.test.collect.Directory (follows from a major refactoring
  and simplification of the collection process)

* majorly reduce py.test core code, shift function/python testing to
  own plugin

* fix issue88 (finding custom test nodes from command line arg)

* refine 'tmpdir' creation, will now create basenames better
  associated with test names (thanks Ronny)

* "xpass" (unexpected pass) tests don't cause exitcode!=0

* fix issue131 / issue60 - importing doctests in __init__ files used
  as namespace packages

* fix issue93 stdout/stderr is captured while importing conftest.py

* fix bug: unittest collected functions now also can have "pytestmark"
  applied at class/module level

* add ability to use "class" level for cached_setup helper

* fix strangeness: mark.* objects are now immutable, create new
  instances


Changes between 1.3.3 and 1.3.4
===============================

* fix issue111: improve install documentation for windows

* fix issue119: fix custom collectability of __init__.py as a module

* fix issue116: --doctestmodules work with __init__.py files as well

* fix issue115: unify internal exception
  passthrough/catching/GeneratorExit

* fix issue118: new --tb=native for presenting cpython-standard
  exceptions


Changes between 1.3.2 and 1.3.3
===============================

* fix issue113: assertion representation problem with triple-quoted
  strings (and possibly other cases)

* make conftest loading detect that a conftest file with the same
  content was already loaded, avoids surprises in nested directory
  structures which can be produced e.g. by Hudson. It probably removes
  the need to use --confcutdir in most cases.

* fix terminal coloring for win32 (thanks Michael Foord for reporting)

* fix weirdness: make terminal width detection work on stdout instead
  of stdin (thanks Armin Ronacher for reporting)

* remove trailing whitespace in all py/text distribution files


Changes between 1.3.1 and 1.3.2
===============================


New features
------------

* fix issue103:  introduce py.test.raises as context manager,
  examples:

     with py.test.raises(ZeroDivisionError):
         x = 0
         1 / x

     with py.test.raises(RuntimeError) as excinfo:
         call_something()

     # you may do extra checks on excinfo.value|type|traceback here

  (thanks Ronny Pfannschmidt)

* Funcarg factories can now dynamically apply a marker to a test
  invocation.  This is for example useful if a factory provides
  parameters to a test which are expected-to-fail:

     def pytest_funcarg__arg(request):
         request.applymarker(py.test.mark.xfail(reason="flaky config"))
         ...

     def test_function(arg):
         ...

* improved error reporting on collection and import errors. This makes
  use of a more general mechanism, namely that for custom test
  item/collect nodes "node.repr_failure(excinfo)" is now uniformly
  called so that you can override it to return a string error
  representation of your choice which is going to be reported as a
  (red) string.

* introduce '--junitprefix=STR' option to prepend a prefix to all
  reports in the junitxml file.


Bug fixes / Maintenance
-----------------------

* make tests and the "pytest_recwarn" plugin in particular fully
  compatible to Python2.7 (if you use the "recwarn" funcarg warnings
  will be enabled so that you can properly check for their existence
  in a cross-python manner).

* refine --pdb: ignore xfailed tests, unify its TB-reporting and don't
  display failures again at the end.

* fix assertion interpretation with the ** operator (thanks Benjamin
  Peterson)

* fix issue105 assignment on the same line as a failing assertion
  (thanks Benjamin Peterson)

* fix issue104 proper escaping for test names in junitxml plugin
  (thanks anonymous)

* fix issue57 -f|--looponfail to work with xpassing tests (thanks
  Ronny)

* fix issue92 collectonly reporter and --pastebin (thanks Benjamin
  Peterson)

* fix py.code.compile(source) to generate unique filenames

* fix assertion re-interp problems on PyPy, by defering code
  compilation to the (overridable) Frame.eval class. (thanks Amaury
  Forgeot)

* fix py.path.local.pyimport() to work with directories

* streamline py.path.local.mkdtemp implementation and usage

* don't print empty lines when showing junitxml-filename

* add optional boolean ignore_errors parameter to py.path.local.remove

* fix terminal writing on win32/python2.4

* py.process.cmdexec() now tries harder to return properly encoded
  unicode objects on all python versions

* install plain py.test/py.which scripts also for Jython, this helps
  to get canonical script paths in virtualenv situations

* make path.bestrelpath(path) return ".", note that when calling
  X.bestrelpath the assumption is that X is a directory.

* make initial conftest discovery ignore "--" prefixed arguments

* fix resultlog plugin when used in an multicpu/multihost xdist
  situation (thanks Jakub Gustak)

* perform distributed testing related reporting in the xdist-plugin
  rather than having dist-related code in the generic py.test
  distribution

* fix homedir detection on Windows

* ship distribute_setup.py version 0.6.13


Changes between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1
===============================


New features
------------

* issue91: introduce new py.test.xfail(reason) helper to imperatively
  mark a test as expected to fail. Can be used from within setup and
  test functions. This is useful especially for parametrized tests
  when certain configurations are expected-to-fail.  In this case the
  declarative approach with the @py.test.mark.xfail cannot be used as
  it would mark all configurations as xfail.

* issue102: introduce new --maxfail=NUM option to stop test runs after
  NUM failures.  This is a generalization of the '-x' or '--exitfirst'
  option which is now equivalent to '--maxfail=1'.  Both '-x' and '--
  maxfail' will now also print a line near the end indicating the
  Interruption.

* issue89: allow py.test.mark decorators to be used on classes (class
  decorators were introduced with python2.6) and also allow to have
  multiple markers applied at class/module level by specifying a list.

* improve and refine letter reporting in the progress bar: .  pass f
  failed test s  skipped tests (reminder: use for dependency/platform
  mismatch only) x  xfailed test (test that was expected to fail) X
  xpassed test (test that was expected to fail but passed)

  You can use any combination of 'fsxX' with the '-r' extended
  reporting option. The xfail/xpass results will show up as skipped
  tests in the junitxml output - which also fixes issue99.

* make py.test.cmdline.main() return the exitstatus instead of raising
  SystemExit and also allow it to be called multiple times.  This of
  course requires that your application and tests are properly teared
  down and don't have global state.


Fixes / Maintenance
-------------------

* improved traceback presentation: - improved and unified reporting
  for "--tb=short" option - Errors during test module imports are much
  shorter, (using --tb=short style) - raises shows shorter more
  relevant tracebacks - --fulltrace now more systematically makes
  traces longer / inhibits cutting

* improve support for raises and other dynamically compiled code by
  manipulating python's linecache.cache instead of the previous rather
  hacky way of creating custom code objects.  This makes it seemlessly
  work on Jython and PyPy where it previously didn't.

* fix issue96: make capturing more resilient against Control-C
  interruptions (involved somewhat substantial refactoring to the
  underlying capturing functionality to avoid race conditions).

* fix chaining of conditional skipif/xfail decorators - so it works
  now as expected to use multiple @py.test.mark.skipif(condition)
  decorators, including specific reporting which of the conditions
  lead to skipping.

* fix issue95: late-import zlib so that it's not required for general
  py.test startup.

* fix issue94: make reporting more robust against bogus source code
  (and internally be more careful when presenting unexpected byte
  sequences)


Changes between 1.2.1 and 1.3.0
===============================

* deprecate --report option in favour of a new shorter and easier to
  remember -r option: it takes a string argument consisting of any
  combination of 'xfsX' characters.  They relate to the single chars
  you see during the dotted progress printing and will print an extra
  line per test at the end of the test run.  This extra line indicates
  the exact position or test ID that you directly paste to the py.test
  cmdline in order to re-run a particular test.

* allow external plugins to register new hooks via the new
  pytest_addhooks(pluginmanager) hook.  The new release of the pytest-
  xdist plugin for distributed and looponfailing testing requires this
  feature.

* add a new pytest_ignore_collect(path, config) hook to allow projects
  and plugins to define exclusion behaviour for their directory
  structure - for example you may define in a conftest.py this method:

     def pytest_ignore_collect(path):
         return path.check(link=1)

  to prevent even a collection try of any tests in symlinked dirs.

* new pytest_pycollect_makemodule(path, parent) hook for allowing
  customization of the Module collection object for a matching test
  module.

* extend and refine xfail mechanism: "@py.test.mark.xfail(run=False)"
  do not run the decorated test "@py.test.mark.xfail(reason="...")"
  prints the reason string in xfail summaries specifiying "--runxfail"
  on command line virtually ignores xfail markers

* expose (previously internal) commonly useful methods:
  py.io.get_terminal_with() -> return terminal width
  py.io.ansi_print(...) -> print colored/bold text on linux/win32
  py.io.saferepr(obj) -> return limited representation string

* expose test outcome related exceptions as py.test.skip.Exception,
  py.test.raises.Exception etc., useful mostly for plugins doing
  special outcome interpretation/tweaking

* (issue85) fix junitxml plugin to handle tests with non-ascii output

* fix/refine python3 compatibility (thanks Benjamin Peterson)

* fixes for making the jython/win32 combination work, note however:
  jython2.5.1/win32 does not provide a command line launcher, see
  http://bugs.jython.org/issue1491 . See pylib install documentation
  for how to work around.

* fixes for handling of unicode exception values and unprintable
  objects

* (issue87) fix unboundlocal error in assertionold code

* (issue86) improve documentation for looponfailing

* refine IO capturing: stdin-redirect pseudo-file now has a NOP
  close() method

* ship distribute_setup.py version 0.6.10

* added links to the new capturelog and coverage plugins


Changes between 1.2.1 and 1.2.0
===============================

* refined usage and options for "py.cleanup":

     py.cleanup     # remove "*.pyc" and "*$py.class" (jython) files
     py.cleanup -e .swp -e .cache # also remove files with these extensions
     py.cleanup -s  # remove "build" and "dist" directory next to setup.py files
     py.cleanup -d  # also remove empty directories
     py.cleanup -a  # synonym for "-s -d -e 'pip-log.txt'"
     py.cleanup -n  # dry run, only show what would be removed

* add a new option "py.test --funcargs" which shows available funcargs
  and their help strings (docstrings on their respective factory
  function) for a given test path

* display a short and concise traceback if a funcarg lookup fails

* early-load "conftest.py" files in non-dot first-level sub
  directories. allows to conveniently keep and access test-related
  options in a "test" subdir and still add command line options.

* fix issue67: new super-short traceback-printing option: "--tb=line"
  will print a single line for each failing (python) test indicating
  its filename, lineno and the failure value

* fix issue78: always call python-level teardown functions even if the
  according setup failed.  This includes refinements for calling
  setup_module/class functions which will now only be called once
  instead of the previous behaviour where they'd be called multiple
  times if they raise an exception (including a Skipped exception).
  Any exception will be re-corded and associated with all tests in the
  according module/class scope.

* fix issue63: assume <40 columns to be a bogus terminal width,
  default to 80

* fix pdb debugging to be in the correct frame on raises-related
  errors

* update apipkg.py to fix an issue where recursive imports might
  unnecessarily break importing

* fix plugin links


Changes between 1.2 and 1.1.1
=============================

* moved dist/looponfailing from py.test core into a new separately
  released pytest-xdist plugin.

* new junitxml plugin: --junitxml=path will generate a junit style xml
  file which is processable e.g. by the Hudson CI system.

* new option: --genscript=path will generate a standalone py.test
  script which will not need any libraries installed.  thanks to Ralf
  Schmitt.

* new option: --ignore will prevent specified path from collection.
  Can be specified multiple times.

* new option: --confcutdir=dir will make py.test only consider
  conftest files that are relative to the specified dir.

* new funcarg: "pytestconfig" is the pytest config object for access
  to command line args and can now be easily used in a test.

* install 'py.test' and *py.which* with a "-$VERSION" suffix to
  disambiguate between Python3, python2.X, Jython and PyPy installed
  versions.

* new "pytestconfig" funcarg allows access to test config object

* new "pytest_report_header" hook can return additional lines to be
  displayed at the header of a test run.

* (experimental) allow "py.test path::name1::name2::..." for pointing
  to a test within a test collection directly.  This might eventually
  evolve as a full substitute to "-k" specifications.

* streamlined plugin loading: order is now as documented in
  customize.html: setuptools, ENV, commandline, conftest. also
  setuptools entry point names are turned to canonical namees
  ("pytest_*")

* automatically skip tests that need 'capfd' but have no os.dup

* allow pytest_generate_tests to be defined in classes as well

* deprecate usage of 'disabled' attribute in favour of pytestmark

* deprecate definition of Directory, Module, Class and Function nodes
  in conftest.py files.  Use pytest collect hooks instead.

* collection/item node specific runtest/collect hooks are only called
  exactly on matching conftest.py files, i.e. ones which are exactly
  below the filesystem path of an item

* change: the first pytest_collect_directory hook to return something
  will now prevent further hooks to be called.

* change: figleaf plugin now requires --figleaf to run.  Also change
  its long command line options to be a bit shorter (see py.test -h).

* change: pytest doctest plugin is now enabled by default and has a
  new option --doctest-glob to set a pattern for file matches.

* change: remove internal py._* helper vars, only keep py._pydir

* robustify capturing to survive if custom pytest_runtest_setup code
  failed and prevented the capturing setup code from running.

* make py.test.* helpers provided by default plugins visible early -
  works transparently both for pydoc and for interactive sessions
  which will regularly see e.g. py.test.mark and py.test.importorskip.

* simplify internal plugin manager machinery

* simplify internal collection tree by introducing a RootCollector
  node

* fix assert reinterpreation that sees a call containing "keyword=..."

* fix issue66: invoke pytest_sessionstart and pytest_sessionfinish
  hooks on slaves during dist-testing, report module/session teardown
  hooks correctly.

* fix issue65: properly handle dist-testing if no execnet/py lib
  installed remotely.

* skip some install-tests if no execnet is available

* fix docs, fix internal bin/ script generation


Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.0
===============================

  via setuptools' pkg_resources.iter_entry_points

* fix py.test dist-testing to work with execnet >= 1.0.0b4

* re-introduce py.test.cmdline.main() for better backward
  compatibility

* svn paths: fix a bug with path.check(versioned=True) for svn paths,
  allow '%' in svn paths, make svnwc.update() default to interactive
  mode like in 1.0.x and add svnwc.update(interactive=False) to
  inhibit interaction.

* refine distributed tarball to contain test and no pyc files

* try harder to have deprecation warnings for py.compat.* accesses
  report a correct location


Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.0.2
===============================

* adjust and improve docs

* remove py.rest tool and internal namespace - it was never really
  advertised and can still be used with the old release if needed.  If
  there is interest it could be revived into its own tool i guess.

* fix issue48 and issue59: raise an Error if the module from an
  imported test file does not seem to come from the filepath - avoids
  "same-name" confusion that has been reported repeatedly

* merged Ronny's nose-compatibility hacks: now nose-style
  setup_module() and setup() functions are supported

* introduce generalized py.test.mark function marking

* reshuffle / refine command line grouping

* deprecate parser.addgroup in favour of getgroup which creates option
  group

* add --report command line option that allows to control showing of
  skipped/xfailed sections

* generalized skipping: a new way to mark python functions with skipif
  or xfail at function, class and modules level based on platform or
  sys-module attributes.

* extend py.test.mark decorator to allow for positional args

* introduce and test "py.cleanup -d" to remove empty directories

* fix issue #59 - robustify unittest test collection

* make bpython/help interaction work by adding an __all__ attribute to
  ApiModule, cleanup initpkg

  functions with multiple arguments.

* merge Jarko's fixes, issue #45 and #46

* add the ability to specify a path for py.lookup to search in

* fix a funcarg cached_setup bug probably only occuring in distributed
  testing and "module" scope with teardown.

* many fixes and changes for making the code base python3 compatible,
  many thanks to Benjamin Peterson for helping with this.

* consolidate builtins implementation to be compatible with >=2.3, add
  helpers to ease keeping 2 and 3k compatible code

* deprecate py.compat.doctest|subprocess|textwrap|optparse

* deprecate py.magic.autopath, remove py/magic directory

* move pytest assertion handling to py/code and a pytest_assertion
  plugin, add "--no-assert" option, deprecate py.magic namespaces in
  favour of (less) py.code ones.

* consolidate and cleanup py/code classes and files

* cleanup py/misc, move tests to bin-for-dist

* introduce delattr/delitem/delenv methods to py.test's monkeypatch
  funcarg

* consolidate py.log implementation, remove old approach.

* introduce py.io.TextIO and py.io.BytesIO for distinguishing between
  text/unicode and byte-streams (uses underlying standard lib io.* if
  available)

* make py.unittest_convert helper script available which converts
  "unittest.py" style files into the simpler assert/direct-test-
  classes py.test/nosetests style.  The script was written by Laura
  Creighton.

* simplified internal localpath implementation


Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2
===============================

* fixing packaging issues, triggered by fedora redhat packaging, also
  added doc, examples and contrib dirs to the tarball.

* added a documentation link to the new django plugin.


Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1
===============================

* added a 'pytest_nose' plugin which handles nose.SkipTest, nose-style
  function/method/generator setup/teardown and tries to report
  functions correctly.

* capturing of unicode writes or encoded strings to sys.stdout/err
  work better, also terminalwriting was adapted and somewhat unified
  between windows and linux.

* improved documentation layout and content a lot

* added a "--help-config" option to show conftest.py / ENV-var names
  for all longopt cmdline options, and some special conftest.py
  variables. renamed 'conf_capture' conftest setting to
  'option_capture' accordingly.

* fix issue #27: better reporting on non-collectable items given on
  commandline (e.g. pyc files)

* fix issue #33: added --version flag (thanks Benjamin Peterson)

* fix issue #32: adding support for "incomplete" paths to
  wcpath.status()

* "Test" prefixed classes are *not* collected by default anymore if
  they have an __init__ method

* monkeypatch setenv() now accepts a "prepend" parameter

* improved reporting of collection error tracebacks

* simplified multicall mechanism and plugin architecture, renamed some
  internal methods and argnames


Changes between 1.0.0b9 and 1.0.0
=================================

* more terse reporting try to show filesystem path relatively to
  current dir

* improve xfail output a bit


Changes between 1.0.0b8 and 1.0.0b9
===================================

* cleanly handle and report final teardown of test setup

* fix svn-1.6 compat issue with py.path.svnwc().versioned() (thanks
  Wouter Vanden Hove)

* setup/teardown or collection problems now show as ERRORs or with big
  "E"'s in the progress lines.  they are reported and counted
  separately.

* dist-testing: properly handle test items that get locally collected
  but cannot be collected on the remote side - often due to
  platform/dependency reasons

* simplified py.test.mark API - see keyword plugin documentation

* integrate better with logging: capturing now by default captures
  test functions and their immediate setup/teardown in a single stream

* capsys and capfd funcargs now have a readouterr() and a close()
  method (underlyingly py.io.StdCapture/FD objects are used which grew
  a readouterr() method as well to return snapshots of captured
  out/err)

* make assert-reinterpretation work better with comparisons not
  returning bools (reported with numpy from thanks maciej fijalkowski)

* reworked per-test output capturing into the pytest_iocapture.py
  plugin and thus removed capturing code from config object

* item.repr_failure(excinfo) instead of item.repr_failure(excinfo,
  outerr)


Changes between 1.0.0b7 and 1.0.0b8
===================================

* pytest_unittest-plugin is now enabled by default

* introduced pytest_keyboardinterrupt hook and refined
  pytest_sessionfinish hooked, added tests.

* workaround a buggy logging module interaction ("closing already
  closed files").  Thanks to Sridhar Ratnakumar for triggering.

* if plugins use "py.test.importorskip" for importing a dependency
  only a warning will be issued instead of exiting the testing
  process.

* many improvements to docs: - refined funcargs doc , use the term
  "factory" instead of "provider" - added a new talk/tutorial doc page
  - better download page - better plugin docstrings - added new
  plugins page and automatic doc generation script

* fixed teardown problem related to partially failing funcarg setups
  (thanks MrTopf for reporting), "pytest_runtest_teardown" is now
  always invoked even if the "pytest_runtest_setup" failed.

* tweaked doctest output for docstrings in py modules, thanks Radomir.


Changes between 1.0.0b3 and 1.0.0b7
===================================

* renamed py.test.xfail back to py.test.mark.xfail to avoid two ways
  to decorate for xfail

* re-added py.test.mark decorator for setting keywords on functions
  (it was actually documented so removing it was not nice)

* remove scope-argument from request.addfinalizer() because
  request.cached_setup has the scope arg. TOOWTDI.

* perform setup finalization before reporting failures

* apply modified patches from Andreas Kloeckner to allow test
  functions to have no func_code (#22) and to make "-k" and function
  keywords work  (#20)

* apply patch from Daniel Peolzleithner (issue #23)

* resolve issue #18, multiprocessing.Manager() and redirection clash

* make __name__ == "__channelexec__" for remote_exec code


Changes between 1.0.0b1 and 1.0.0b3
===================================

* plugin classes are removed: one now defines hooks directly in
  conftest.py or global pytest_*.py files.

* added new pytest_namespace(config) hook that allows to inject
  helpers directly to the py.test.* namespace.

* documented and refined many hooks

* added new style of generative tests via pytest_generate_tests hook
  that integrates well with function arguments.


Changes between 0.9.2 and 1.0.0b1
=================================

* introduced new "funcarg" setup method, see doc/test/funcarg.txt

* introduced plugin architecuture and many new py.test plugins, see
  doc/test/plugins.txt

* teardown_method is now guaranteed to get called after a test method
  has run.

* new method: py.test.importorskip(mod,minversion) will either import
  or call py.test.skip()

* completely revised internal py.test architecture

* new py.process.ForkedFunc object allowing to fork execution of a
  function to a sub process and getting a result back.

XXX lots of things missing here XXX


Changes between 0.9.1 and 0.9.2
===============================

* refined installation and metadata, created new setup.py, now based
  on setuptools/ez_setup (thanks to Ralf Schmitt for his support).

* improved the way of making py.* scripts available in windows
  environments, they are now added to the Scripts directory as ".cmd"
  files.

* py.path.svnwc.status() now is more complete and uses xml output from
  the 'svn' command if available (Guido Wesdorp)

* fix for py.path.svn* to work with svn 1.5 (Chris Lamb)

* fix path.relto(otherpath) method on windows to use normcase for
  checking if a path is relative.

* py.test's traceback is better parseable from editors (follows the
  filenames:LINENO: MSG convention) (thanks to Osmo Salomaa)

* fix to javascript-generation, "py.test --runbrowser" should work
  more reliably now

* removed previously accidentally added py.test.broken and
  py.test.notimplemented helpers.

* there now is a py.__version__ attribute
