+pytest-2.7.0: fixes, features, speed improvements
+===========================================================================
+
+pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1100 tests
+against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms.
+This release is supposed to be drop-in compatible to 2.6.X.
+
+See below for the changes and see docs at:
+
+    http://pytest.org
+
+As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via::
+
+    pip install -U pytest
+
+Thanks to all who contributed, among them:

+2.7.0 (compared to 2.6.4)
+-----------------------------
+
+- fix issue435: make reload() work when assert rewriting is active.
+  Thanks Daniel Hahler.
+
+- fix issue616: conftest.py files and their contained fixutres are now
+  properly considered for visibility, independently from the exact
+  current working directory and test arguments that are used.
+  Many thanks to Eric Siegerman and his PR235 which contains
+  systematic tests for conftest visibility and now passes.
+  This change also introduces the concept of a ``rootdir`` which
+  is printed as a new pytest header and documented in the pytest
+  customize web page.
+
+- change reporting of "diverted" tests, i.e. tests that are collected
+  in one file but actually come from another (e.g. when tests in a test class
+  come from a base class in a different file).  We now show the nodeid
+  and indicate via a postfix the other file.
+
+- add ability to set command line options by environment variable PYTEST_ADDOPTS.
+
+- added documentation on the new pytest-dev teams on bitbucket and
+  github.  See https://pytest.org/latest/contributing.html .
+  Thanks to Anatoly for pushing and initial work on this.
+
+- fix issue650: new option ``--docttest-ignore-import-errors`` which
+  will turn import errors in doctests into skips.  Thanks Charles Cloud
+  for the complete PR.
+
+- fix issue655: work around different ways that cause python2/3
+  to leak sys.exc_info into fixtures/tests causing failures in 3rd party code
+
+- fix issue615: assertion re-writing did not correctly escape % signs
+  when formatting boolean operations, which tripped over mixing
+  booleans with modulo operators.  Thanks to Tom Viner for the report,
+  triaging and fix.
+
+- implement issue351: add ability to specify parametrize ids as a callable
+  to generate custom test ids.  Thanks Brianna Laugher for the idea and
+  implementation.
+
+- introduce and document new hookwrapper mechanism useful for plugins
+  which want to wrap the execution of certain hooks for their purposes.
+  This supersedes the undocumented ``__multicall__`` protocol which
+  pytest itself and some external plugins use.  Note that pytest-2.8
+  is scheduled to drop supporting the old ``__multicall__``
+  and only support the hookwrapper protocol.
+
+- majorly speed up invocation of plugin hooks
+
+- use hookwrapper mechanism in builtin pytest plugins.
+
+- add a doctest ini option for doctest flags, thanks Holger Peters.
+
+- add note to docs that if you want to mark a parameter and the
+  parameter is a callable, you also need to pass in a reason to disambiguate
+  it from the "decorator" case.  Thanks Tom Viner.
+
+- "python_classes" and "python_functions" options now support glob-patterns
+  for test discovery, as discussed in issue600. Thanks Ldiary Translations.
+
+- allow to override parametrized fixtures with non-parametrized ones and vice versa (bubenkoff).
+
+- fix issue463: raise specific error for 'parameterize' misspelling (pfctdayelise).
+
+- On failure, the ``sys.last_value``, ``sys.last_type`` and
+  ``sys.last_traceback`` are set, so that a user can inspect the error
+  via postmortem debugging (almarklein).
