+pylib 1.0.0 released: testing-with-python innovations continue
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Took a few betas but finally i uploaded a `1.0.0 py lib release`_,
+featuring the mature and powerful py.test tool and "execnet-style"
+*elastic* distributed programming.  With the new release, there are
+many new advanced automated testing features - here is a quick summary:
+
+* funcargs_ - pythonic zero-boilerplate fixtures for Python test functions :
+
+  - totally separates test code, test configuration and test setup
+  - ideal for integration and functional tests
+  - allows for flexible and natural test parametrization schemes
+
+* new `plugin architecture`_, allowing easy-to-write project-specific and cross-project single-file plugins.   The most notable new external plugin is `oejskit`_ which naturally enables **running and reporting of javascript-unittests in real-life browsers**.
+
+* many new features done in easy-to-improve `default plugins`_, highlights:
+
+  * xfail: mark tests as "expected to fail" and report separately.
+  * pastebin: automatically send tracebacks to pocoo paste service
+  * capture: flexibly capture stdout/stderr of subprocesses, per-test ...
+  * monkeypatch: safely monkeypatch modules/classes from within tests
+  * unittest: run and integrate traditional unittest.py tests
+  * figleaf: generate html coverage reports with the figleaf module
+  * resultlog: generate buildbot-friendly reporting output
+  * ...
+
+* `distributed testing`_ and `elastic distributed execution`_:
+
+  - new unified "TX" URL scheme for specifying remote processes
+  - new distribution modes "--dist=each" and "--dist=load"
+  - new sync/async ways to handle 1:N communication
+  - improved documentation
+
+The py lib continues to offer most of the functionality used by
+the testing tool in `independent namespaces`_.
+
+Some non-test related code, notably greenlets/co-routines and
+api-generation now live as their own projects which simplifies the
+installation procedure because no C-Extensions are required anymore.
+
+The whole package should work well with Linux, Win32 and OSX, on Python
+2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6.  (Expect Python3 compatibility soon!)
+
+For more info, see the py.test and py lib documentation:

+1.0.1: improved reporting, nose/unittest.py support, bug fixes
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a bugfix release of pylib/py.test also coming with:
+
+* improved documentation, improved navigation
+* test failure reporting improvements
+* support for directly running existing nose/unittest.py style tests
+
+visit here for more info, including quickstart and tutorials:
+
+    http://pytest.org and http://pylib.org
+
+
+Changelog 1.0.0 to 1.0.1
+------------------------
+
+* added a default 'pytest_nose' plugin which handles nose.SkipTest,
+  nose-style function/method/generator setup/teardown and
+  tries to report functions correctly.
+
+* improved documentation, better navigation: see http://pytest.org
+
+* 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.
+
+* unicode fixes: capturing and unicode writes to sys.stdout
+  (through e.g a print statement) now work within tests,
+  they are encoded as "utf8" by default, also terminalwriting
+  was adapted and somewhat unified between windows and linux
+
+* 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

+py.test/pylib 1.1.0: Python3, Jython, advanced skipping, cleanups ...
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Features:
+
+* compatible to Python3 (single py2/py3 source), `easy to install`_
+* conditional skipping_: skip/xfail based on platform/dependencies
+* generalized marking_: mark tests one a whole-class or whole-module basis
+
+Fixes:
+
+* code reduction and "de-magification" (e.g. 23 KLoc -> 11 KLOC)
+* distribute testing requires the now separately released execnet_ package
+* funcarg-setup/caching, "same-name" test modules now cause an exlicit error
+* de-cluttered reporting options, --report for skipped/xfail details
+
+Compatibilities
+
+1.1.0 should allow running test code that already worked well with 1.0.2
+plus some more due to improved unittest/nose compatibility.

+Changelog 1.0.2 -> 1.1.0
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* 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
+
+* use MIT license for pylib, add some contributors
+
+* remove py.execnet code and substitute all usages with 'execnet' proper
+
+* fix issue50 - cached_setup now caches more to expectations
+  for test 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

+py.test/pylib 1.1.1: bugfix release, setuptools plugin registration
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a compatibility fixing release of pylib/py.test to work
+better with previous 1.0.x test code bases.  It also contains fixes
+and changes to work with `execnet>=1.0.0`_ to provide distributed
+testing and looponfailing testing modes.  py-1.1.1 also introduces
+a new mechanism for registering plugins via setuptools.
+
+What is pylib/py.test?
+-----------------------
+
+py.test is an advanced automated testing tool working with
+Python2, Python3 and Jython versions on all major operating
+systems. It has an extensive plugin architecture and can run many
+existing common Python test suites without modification.  Moreover,
+it offers some unique features not found in other
+testing tools.  See http://pytest.org for more info.
+
+The pylib also contains a localpath and svnpath implementation
+and some developer-oriented command line tools. See
+http://pylib.org for more info.

+
+- 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,

+py.test/pylib 1.2.0: junitxml, standalone test scripts, pluginization
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+py.test is an advanced automated testing tool working with
+Python2, Python3 and Jython versions on all major operating
+systems.  It has a simple plugin architecture and can run many
+existing common Python test suites without modification.  It offers
+some unique features not found in other testing tools.
+See http://pytest.org for more info.
+
+py.test 1.2.0 brings many bug fixes and interesting new abilities:
+
+* --junitxml=path will create an XML file for use with CI processing
+* --genscript=path creates a standalone py.test-equivalent test-script
+* --ignore=path prevents collection of anything below that path
+* --confcutdir=path only lookup conftest.py test configs below that path
+* a 'pytest_report_header' hook to add info to the terminal report header
+* a 'pytestconfig' function argument gives direct access to option values
+* 'pytest_generate_tests' can now be put into a class as well
+* on CPython py.test additionally installs as "py.test-VERSION", on
+  Jython as py.test-jython and on PyPy as py.test-pypy-XYZ
+
+Apart from many bug fixes 1.2.0 also has better pluginization:
+Distributed testing and looponfailing testing now live in the
+separately installable 'pytest-xdist' plugin.  The same is true for
+'pytest-figleaf' for doing coverage reporting.  Those two plugins
+can serve well now as blue prints for doing your own.
+
+thanks to all who helped and gave feedback,
+have fun,
+
+holger krekel, January 2010
+
+Changes between 1.2.0 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
+

+See http://pytest.org for more info.
+
+py.test 1.2.1 brings bug fixes and some new options and abilities triggered
+by user feedback:
+
+* --funcargs [testpath]  will show available builtin- and project funcargs.
+* display a short and concise traceback if funcarg lookup fails.
+* early-load "conftest.py" files in non-dot first-level sub directories.
+* --tb=line will print a single line for each failing test (issue67)
+* py.cleanup has a number of new options, cleanups up setup.py related files
+* fix issue78: always call python-level teardown functions even if the
+  according setup failed.
+
+For more detailed information see the changelog below.
+
+cheers and have fun,

+holger
+
+
+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

+py.test/pylib 1.3.0: new options, per-plugin hooks, fixes ...
+===========================================================================
+
+The 1.3.0 release introduces new options, bug fixes and improved compatibility
+with Python3 and Jython-2.5.1 on Windows.   If you already use py-1.2 chances
+are you can use py-1.3.0.  See the below CHANGELOG for more details and
+http://pylib.org/install.html for installation instructions.
+
+py.test is an advanced automated testing tool working with Python2,
+Python3, Jython and PyPy versions on all major operating systems.  It
+offers a no-boilerplate testing approach and has inspired other testing
+tools and enhancements in the standard Python library for more than five
+years.  It has a simple and extensive plugin architecture, configurable
+reporting and provides unique ways to make it fit to your testing
+process and needs.
+
+See http://pytest.org for more info.

+
+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 collection 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 ignores xfail markers to show
+  you the underlying traceback.
+
+- 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
+=====================================
+
+- introduce automatic plugin registration via 'pytest11'
+  entrypoints 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
+
+* use MIT license for pylib, add some contributors
+
+* remove py.execnet code and substitute all usages with 'execnet' proper
+
+* fix issue50 - cached_setup now caches more to expectations
+  for test 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
+
+Changes between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1

+py.test/pylib 1.3.1: new py.test.xfail, --maxfail, better reporting
+===========================================================================
+
+The pylib/py.test 1.3.1 release brings:
+
+- the new imperative ``py.test.xfail()`` helper in order to have a test or
+  setup function result in an "expected failure"
+- a new option ``--maxfail=NUM`` to stop the test run after some failures
+- markers/decorators are now applicable to test classes (>=Python2.6)
+- improved reporting, shorter tracebacks in several cases
+- some simplified internals, more compatibility with Jython and PyPy
+- bug fixes and various refinements
+
+See the below CHANGELOG entry below for more details and
+http://pylib.org/install.html for installation instructions.
+
+If you used older versions of py.test you should be able to upgrade
+to 1.3.1 without changes to your test source code.
+
+py.test is an automated testing tool working with Python2,
+Python3, Jython and PyPy versions on all major operating systems.  It
+offers a no-boilerplate testing approach and has inspired other testing
+tools and enhancements in the standard Python library for more than five
+years.  It has a simple and extensive plugin architecture, configurable
+reporting and provides unique ways to make it fit to your testing
+process and needs.
+
+See http://pytest.org for more info.
+
+cheers and have fun,
+
+holger krekel
+
+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)
+

+py.test/pylib 1.3.2: API and reporting refinements, many fixes
+===========================================================================
+
+The pylib/py.test 1.3.2 release brings many bug fixes and some new
+features.  It was refined for and tested against the recently released
+Python2.7 and remains compatibile to the usual armada of interpreters
+(Python2.4 through to Python3.1.2, Jython and PyPy).  Note that for using
+distributed testing features you'll need to upgrade to the jointly released
+pytest-xdist-1.4 because of some internal refactorings.
+
+See http://pytest.org for general documentation and below for

+
+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
+=====================================
+
+- introduce automatic plugin registration via 'pytest11'
+  entrypoints 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

+  to ApiModule, cleanup initpkg
+
+* use MIT license for pylib, add some contributors
+
+* remove py.execnet code and substitute all usages with 'execnet' proper
+
+* fix issue50 - cached_setup now caches more to expectations
+  for test 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
+
+Changes between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1

+py.test/pylib 1.3.3: windows and other fixes
+===========================================================================
+
+pylib/py.test 1.3.3 is a minor bugfix release featuring some improvements
+and fixes. See changelog_ for full history.
+
+have fun,
+holger krekel
+
+.. _changelog: ../changelog.html
+
+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
+

+py.test/pylib 1.3.4: fixes and new native traceback option
+===========================================================================
+
+pylib/py.test 1.3.4 is a minor maintenance release mostly containing bug fixes
+and a new "--tb=native" traceback option to show "normal" Python standard
+tracebacks instead of the py.test enhanced tracebacks.  See below for more
+change info and http://pytest.org for more general information on features
+and configuration of the testing tool.
+
+Thanks to the issue reporters and generally to Ronny Pfannschmidt for help.
+
+cheers,
+holger krekel
+
+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

+py-1.4.0: cross-python lib for path, code, io, ... manipulations
+===========================================================================
+
+"py" is a small library comprising APIs for filesystem and svn path
+manipulations, dynamic code construction and introspection, a Py2/Py3
+compatibility namespace ("py.builtin"), IO capturing, terminal colored printing
+(on windows and linux), ini-file parsing and a lazy import mechanism.
+It runs unmodified on all Python interpreters compatible to Python2.4 up
+until Python 3.2.  The general goal with "py" is to provide stable APIs
+for some common tasks that are continously tested against many Python
+interpreters and thus also to help transition. Here are some docs:
+
+    http://pylib.org
+
+NOTE: The prior py-1.3.X versions contained "py.test" which now comes
+as its own separate "pytest" distribution and was just released
+as "pytest-2.0.0", see here for the revamped docs:
+
+    http://pytest.org
+   
+And "py.cleanup|py.lookup|py.countloc" etc. helpers are now part of
+the pycmd distribution, see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycmd
+
+This makes "py-1.4.0" a simple library which does not install
+any command line utilities anymore.
+
+cheers,
+holger
+
+Changes between 1.3.4 and 1.4.0
+-------------------------------------
+
+- py.test was moved to a separate "pytest" package. What remains is
+  a stub hook which will proxy ``import py.test`` to ``pytest``.
+- all command line tools ("py.cleanup/lookup/countloc/..." moved
+  to "pycmd" package)
+- removed the old and deprecated "py.magic" namespace
+- use apipkg-1.1 and make py.apipkg.initpkg|ApiModule available
+- add py.iniconfig module for brain-dead easy ini-config file parsing
+- introduce py.builtin.any()
+- path objects have a .dirname attribute now (equivalent to
+  os.path.dirname(path))
+- path.visit() accepts breadthfirst (bf) and sort options
+- remove deprecated py.compat namespace

+py-1.4.1: cross-python lib for fs path, code, io, ... manipulations
+===========================================================================
+
+This is a bug fix release of the "py" lib, see below for detailed changes.
+The py lib is a small library comprising APIs for filesystem and svn path
+manipulations, dynamic code construction and introspection, a Py2/Py3
+compatibility namespace ("py.builtin"), IO capturing, terminal colored printing
+(on windows and linux), ini-file parsing and a lazy import mechanism.
+It runs unmodified on all Python interpreters compatible to Python2.4 up
+until Python 3.2, PyPy and Jython.  The general goal with "py" is to
+provide stable APIs for some common tasks that are continously tested
+against many Python interpreters and thus also to help transition. Here
+are some docs:
+
+    http://pylib.org
+
+NOTE: The prior py-1.3.X versions contained "py.test" which since py-1.4.0
+comes as its own separate "pytest" distribution, see:
+
+    http://pytest.org
+   
+Also, the "py.cleanup|py.lookup|py.countloc" helpers are now part of
+the pycmd distribution, see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycmd
+
+
+Changes between 1.4.0 and 1.4.1
+==================================================
+
+- fix issue1 - py.error.* classes to be pickleable
+
+- fix issue2 - on windows32 use PATHEXT as the list of potential
+  extensions to find find binaries with py.path.local.sysfind(commandname)
+
+- fix (pytest-) issue10 and refine assertion reinterpretation
+  to avoid breaking if the __nonzero__ of an object fails
+
+- fix (pytest-) issue17 where python3 does not like star-imports,
+  leading to misrepresentation of import-errors in test modules
+
+- fix ``py.error.*`` attribute pypy access
+
+- allow path.samefile(arg) to succeed when arg is a relative filename
+
+- fix (pytest-) issue20 path.samefile(relpath) works as expected now
