+py.test 2.1.1: assertion fixes and improved junitxml output
+===========================================================================
+
+pytest-2.1.1 is a backward compatible maintenance release of the
+popular py.test testing tool. See extensive docs with examples here:
+
+ http://pytest.org/
+
+Most bug fixes address remaining issues with the perfected assertions
+introduced with 2.1.0 - many thanks to the bug reporters and to Benjamin
+Peterson for helping to fix them. Also, junitxml output now produces
+system-out/err tags which lead to better displays of tracebacks with Jenkins.
+
+Also a quick note to package maintainers and others interested: there now
+is a "pytest" man page which can be generated with "make man" in doc/.
+
+If you want to install or upgrade pytest, just type one of::
+
+ pip install -U pytest # or
+ easy_install -U pytest
+
+best,
