+py.test 2.2.0: test marking++, parametrization++ and duration profiling
+===========================================================================
+
+pytest-2.2.0 is a test-suite compatible release of the popular
+py.test testing tool.  Plugins might need upgrades. It comes
+with these improvements:
+
+* easier and more powerful parametrization of tests:
+
+  - new @pytest.mark.parametrize decorator to run tests with different arguments
+  - new metafunc.parametrize() API for parametrizing arguments independently
+  - see examples at http://pytest.org/latest/example/parametrize.html
+  - NOTE that parametrize() related APIs are still a bit experimental
+    and might change in future releases.
+
+* improved handling of test markers and refined marking mechanism:
+
+  - "-m markexpr" option for selecting tests according to their mark
+  - a new "markers" ini-variable for registering test markers for your project
+  - the new "--strict" bails out with an error if using unregistered markers.
+  - see examples at http://pytest.org/latest/example/markers.html
+
+* duration profiling: new "--duration=N" option showing the N slowest test
+  execution or setup/teardown calls. This is most useful if you want to
+  find out where your slowest test code is.
+
+* also 2.2.0 performs more eager calling of teardown/finalizers functions
+  resulting in better and more accurate reporting when they fail
+
+Besides there is the usual set of bug fixes along with a cleanup of
+pytest's own test suite allowing it to run on a wider range of environments.
+
+For general information, see extensive docs with examples here:
+
+     http://pytest.org/
+
+If you want to install or upgrade pytest you might just type::
+
+    pip install -U pytest # or
+    easy_install -U pytest
+
+Thanks to Ronny Pfannschmidt, David Burns, Jeff Donner, Daniel Nouri, Alfredo Deza and all who gave feedback or sent bug reports.

+notes on incompatibility
+------------------------------
+
+While test suites should work unchanged you might need to upgrade plugins:
+
+* You need a new version of the pytest-xdist plugin (1.7) for distributing
+  test runs.
+
+* Other plugins might need an upgrade if they implement
+  the ``pytest_runtest_logreport`` hook which now is called unconditionally
+  for the setup/teardown fixture phases of a test. You may choose to
+  ignore setup/teardown failures by inserting "if rep.when != 'call': return"
+  or something similar. Note that most code probably "just" works because
+  the hook was already called for failing setup/teardown phases of a test
+  so a plugin should have been ready to grok such reports already.
+
+
+Changes between 2.1.3 and 2.2.0
+----------------------------------------
+
+- fix issue90: introduce eager tearing down of test items so that
+  teardown function are called earlier.
+- add an all-powerful metafunc.parametrize function which allows to
+  parametrize test function arguments in multiple steps and therefore
+  from independent plugins and places.
+- add a @pytest.mark.parametrize helper which allows to easily
+  call a test function with different argument values.
+- Add examples to the "parametrize" example page, including a quick port
+  of Test scenarios and the new parametrize function and decorator.
+- introduce registration for "pytest.mark.*" helpers via ini-files
+  or through plugin hooks.  Also introduce a "--strict" option which
+  will treat unregistered markers as errors
+  allowing to avoid typos and maintain a well described set of markers
+  for your test suite.  See examples at http://pytest.org/latest/mark.html
+  and its links.
+- issue50: introduce "-m marker" option to select tests based on markers
+  (this is a stricter and more predictable version of "-k" in that "-m"
+  only matches complete markers and has more obvious rules for and/or
+  semantics.
+- new feature to help optimizing the speed of your tests:
+  --durations=N option for displaying N slowest test calls
+  and setup/teardown methods.
+- fix issue87: --pastebin now works with python3
+- fix issue89: --pdb with unexpected exceptions in doctest work more sensibly
+- fix and cleanup pytest's own test suite to not leak FDs
+- fix issue83: link to generated funcarg list
+- fix issue74: pyarg module names are now checked against imp.find_module false positives
+- fix compatibility with twisted/trial-11.1.0 use cases
