+pytest-2.3.1: fix regression with factory functions
+===========================================================================
+
+pytest-2.3.1 is a quick follow-up release:
+
+- fix issue202 - regression with fixture functions/funcarg factories:  
+  using "self" is now safe again and works as in 2.2.4.  Thanks 
+  to Eduard Schettino for the quick bug report.
+
+- disable pexpect pytest self tests on Freebsd - thanks Koob for the 
+  quick reporting
+
+- fix/improve interactive docs with --markers
+
+See 
+
+     http://pytest.org/
+
+for general information.  To install or upgrade pytest:
+
+    pip install -U pytest # or
+    easy_install -U pytest
+
+best,

+
+Changes between 2.3.0 and 2.3.1
+-----------------------------------
+
+- fix issue202 - fix regression: using "self" from fixture functions now
+  works as expected (it's the same "self" instance that a test method
+  which uses the fixture sees)
+
+- skip pexpect using tests (test_pdb.py mostly) on freebsd* systems
+  due to pexpect not supporting it properly (hanging)
+
+- link to web pages from --markers output which provides help for
+  pytest.mark.* usage.
