+1.4.31
+==================================================
+
+- fix local().copy(dest, mode=True) to also work
+ with unicode.
+
+- pass better error message with svn EEXIST paths
+
+1.4.30
+==================================================
+
+- fix issue68 an assert with a multiline list comprehension
+ was not reported correctly. Thanks Henrik Heibuerger.
+
+
+1.4.29
+==================================================
+
+- fix issue55: revert a change to the statement finding algorithm
+ which is used by pytest for generating tracebacks.
+ Thanks Daniel Hahler for initial analysis.
+
+- fix pytest issue254 for when traceback rendering can't
+ find valid source code. Thanks Ionel Cristian Maries.
+
+
+1.4.28
+==================================================
+
+- fix issue64 -- dirpath regression when "abs=True" is passed.
+ Thanks Gilles Dartiguelongue.
+
+1.4.27
+==================================================
+
+- fix issue59: point to new repo site
+
+- allow a new ensuresyspath="append" mode for py.path.local.pyimport()
+ so that a neccessary import path is appended instead of prepended to
+ sys.path
+
+- strike undocumented, untested argument to py.path.local.pypkgpath
+
+- speed up py.path.local.dirpath by a factor of 10
+
+1.4.26
+==================================================
+
+- avoid calling normpath twice in py.path.local
+
+- py.builtin._reraise properly reraises under Python3 now.
+
+- fix issue53 - remove module index, thanks jenisys.
+
+- allow posix path separators when "fnmatch" is called.
+ Thanks Christian Long for the complete PR.
+
+1.4.25
+==================================================
+
+- fix issue52: vaguely fix py25 compat of py.path.local (it's not
+ officially supported), also fix docs
+
+- fix pytest issue 589: when checking if we have a recursion error
+ check for the specific "maximum recursion depth" text of the exception.
+
+1.4.24
+==================================================
+
+- Fix retrieving source when an else: line has an other statement on
+ the same line.
+
+- add localpath read_text/write_text/read_bytes/write_bytes methods
+ as shortcuts and clearer bytes/text interfaces for read/write.
+ Adapted from a PR from Paul Moore.
+
+
+1.4.23
+==================================================
+
+- use newer apipkg version which makes attribute access on
+ alias modules resolve to None rather than an ImportError.
+ This helps with code that uses inspect.getframeinfo()
+ on py34 which causes a complete walk on sys.modules
+ thus triggering the alias module to resolve and blowing
+ up with ImportError. The negative side is that something
+ like "py.test.X" will now result in None instead of "importerror: pytest"
+ if pytest is not installed. But you shouldn't import "py.test"
+ anyway anymore.
+
+- adapt one svn test to only check for any exception instead
+ of specific ones because different svn versions cause different
+ errors and we don't care.
+
+
+1.4.22
+==================================================
+
+- refactor class-level registry on ForkedFunc child start/finish
+ event to become instance based (i.e. passed into the constructor)
+
+1.4.21
+==================================================
+
+- ForkedFunc now has class-level register_on_start/on_exit()
+ methods to allow adding information in the boxed process.
+ Thanks Marc Schlaich.
+
+- ForkedFunc in the child opens in "auto-flush" mode for
+ stdout/stderr so that when a subprocess dies you can see
+ its output even if it didn't flush itself.
+
+- refactor traceback generation in light of pytest issue 364
+ (shortening tracebacks). you can now set a new traceback style
+ on a per-entry basis such that a caller can force entries to be
+ isplayed as short or long entries.
+
+- win32: py.path.local.sysfind(name) will preferrably return files with
+ extensions so that if "X" and "X.bat" or "X.exe" is on the PATH,
+ one of the latter two will be returned.
+
+1.4.20
+==================================================
+
+- ignore unicode decode errors in xmlescape. Thanks Anatoly Bubenkoff.
+
+- on python2 modify traceback.format_exception_only to match python3
+ behaviour, namely trying to print unicode for Exception instances
+
+- use a safer way for serializing exception reports (helps to fix
+ pytest issue413)
+

+ up pytest runs. Thanks Alex Gaynor for initiative.
+
+- check PY_COLORS=1 or PY_COLORS=0 to force coloring/not-coloring
+ for py.io.TerminalWriter() independently from capabilities
+ of the output file. Thanks Marc Abramowitz for the PR.

+ to fix pytest issue 319).
+
+- depend on setuptools presence, remove distribute_setup
+
+Changes between 1.4.17 and 1.4.18
+==================================================
+
+- introduce path.ensure_dir() as a synonym for ensure(..., dir=1)
+
+- some unicode/python3 related fixes wrt to path manipulations
+ (if you start passing unicode particular in py2 you might
+ still get problems, though)
+
+Changes between 1.4.16 and 1.4.17
+==================================================
+
+- make py.io.TerminalWriter() prefer colorama if it is available
+ and avoid empty lines when separator-lines are printed by
+ being defensive and reducing the working terminalwidth by 1
+
+- introduce optional "expanduser" argument to py.path.local
+ to that local("~", expanduser=True) gives the home
+ directory of "user".
+
+Changes between 1.4.15 and 1.4.16
+==================================================
+
+- fix issue35 - define __gt__ ordering between a local path
+ and strings
+
+- fix issue36 - make chdir() work even if os.getcwd() fails.
+
+- add path.exists/isdir/isfile/islink shortcuts
+
+- introduce local path.as_cwd() context manager.

+==================================================
+
+- fix getting statementrange/compiling a file ending
+ in a comment line without newline (on python2.5)
+- for local paths you can pass "mode=True" to a copy()
+ in order to copy permission bits (underlying mechanism
+ is using shutil.copymode)
+- add paths arguments to py.path.local.sysfind to restrict
+ search to the diretories in the path.
+- add isdir/isfile/islink to path.stat() objects allowing to perform
+ multiple checks without calling out multiple times
+- drop py.path.local.__new__ in favour of a simpler __init__
+- iniconfig: allow "name:value" settings in config files, no space after
+ "name" required
+- fix issue 27 - NameError in unlikely untested case of saferepr
+
+
+Changes between 1.4.11 and 1.4.12

+
+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

+==================================================
+
+- 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

+
+- 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,

+=====================================
+
+* 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
+

+* 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

+ (e.g. pyc files)
+
+* fix issue #33: added --version flag (thanks Benjamin Peterson)

+* 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)
+
+

+ 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)

+ 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
