+py.test 2.0.0: asserts++, unittest++, reporting++, config++, docs++
+===========================================================================
+
+Welcome to pytest-2.0.0, a major new release of "py.test", the rapid
+easy Python testing tool.  There are many new features and enhancements,
+see below for summary and detailed lists.  A lot of long-deprecated code
+has been removed, resulting in a much smaller and cleaner
+implementation.  See the new docs with examples here:
+
+    http://pytest.org/2.0.0/index.html
+
+A note on packaging: pytest used to part of the "py" distribution up
+until version py-1.3.4 but this has changed now:  pytest-2.0.0 only
+contains py.test related code and is expected to be backward-compatible
+to existing test code. If you want to install pytest, just type one of::
+
+    pip install -U pytest
+    easy_install -U pytest
+
+Many thanks to all issue reporters and people asking questions or
+complaining.  Particular thanks to Floris Bruynooghe and Ronny Pfannschmidt
+for their great coding contributions and many others for feedback and help.
+
+best,

+New Features
+-----------------------
+
+- new invocations through Python interpreter and from Python::
+
+    python -m pytest      # on all pythons >= 2.5
+
+  or from a python program::
+
+    import pytest ; pytest.main(arglist, pluginlist)
+
+  see http://pytest.org/2.0.0/usage.html for details.
+
+- new and better reporting information in assert expressions
+  if comparing lists, sequences or strings.
+
+  see http://pytest.org/2.0.0/assert.html#newreport
+
+- new configuration through ini-files (setup.cfg or tox.ini recognized),
+  for example::
+
+    [pytest]
+    norecursedirs = .hg data*  # don't ever recurse in such dirs
+    addopts = -x --pyargs      # add these command line options by default
+
+  see http://pytest.org/2.0.0/customize.html
+
+- improved standard unittest support.  In general py.test should now
+  better be able to run custom unittest.TestCases like twisted trial
+  or Django based TestCases.  Also you can now run the tests of an
+  installed 'unittest' package with py.test::
+
+    py.test --pyargs unittest
+
+- new "-q" option which decreases verbosity and prints a more
+  nose/unittest-style "dot" output.
+
+- many many more detailed improvements details
+
+Fixes
+-----------------------
+
+- fix issue126 - introduce py.test.set_trace() to trace execution via
+  PDB during the running of tests even if capturing is ongoing.
+- fix issue124 - make reporting more resilient against tests opening
+  files on filedescriptor 1 (stdout).
+- fix issue109 - sibling conftest.py files will not be loaded.
+  (and Directory collectors cannot be customized anymore from a Directory's
+  conftest.py - this needs to happen at least one level up).
+- fix issue88 (finding custom test nodes from command line arg)
+- fix issue93 stdout/stderr is captured while importing conftest.py
+- fix bug: unittest collected functions now also can have "pytestmark"
+  applied at class/module level
+
+Important Notes
+--------------------
+
+* The usual way in pre-2.0 times to use py.test in python code was
+  to import "py" and then e.g. use "py.test.raises" for the helper.
+  This remains valid and is not planned to be deprecated.  However,
+  in most examples and internal code you'll find "import pytest"
+  and "pytest.raises" used as the recommended default way.
+
+* pytest now first performs collection of the complete test suite
+  before running any test. This changes for example the semantics of when
+  pytest_collectstart/pytest_collectreport are called.  Some plugins may
+  need upgrading.
+
+* The pytest package consists of a 400 LOC core.py and about 20 builtin plugins,
+  summing up to roughly 5000 LOCs, including docstrings. To be fair, it also
+  uses generic code from the "pylib", and the new "py" package to help
+  with filesystem and introspection/code manipulation.
+
+(Incompatible) Removals
+-----------------------------
+
+- py.test.config is now only available if you are in a test run.
+
+- the following (mostly already deprecated) functionality was removed:
+
+  - removed support for Module/Class/... collection node definitions
+    in conftest.py files.  They will cause nothing special.
+  - removed support for calling the pre-1.0 collection API of "run()" and "join"
+  - removed reading option values from conftest.py files or env variables.
+    This can now be done much much better and easier through the ini-file
+    mechanism and the "addopts" entry in particular.
+  - removed the "disabled" attribute in test classes.  Use the skipping
+    and pytestmark mechanism to skip or xfail a test class.
+
+- py.test.collect.Directory does not exist anymore and it
+  is not possible to provide an own "Directory" object.
+  If you have used this and don't know what to do, get
+  in contact.  We'll figure something out.
+
+  Note that pytest_collect_directory() is still called but
+  any return value will be ignored.  This allows to keep
+  old code working that performed for example "py.test.skip()"
+  in collect() to prevent recursion into directory trees
+  if a certain dependency or command line option is missing.
+
+
+see :ref:`changelog` for more detailed changes.
