+pytest-2.9.0
+============

+pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1100 tests
+against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms.
+
+See below for the changes and see docs at:
+
+ http://pytest.org
+
+As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via::
+
+ pip install -U pytest

+
+2.9.0 (compared to 2.8.7)
+-------------------------
+
+**New Features**
+
+* New ``pytest.mark.skip`` mark, which unconditionally skips marked tests.
+ Thanks `@MichaelAquilina`_ for the complete PR (`#1040`_).
+
+* ``--doctest-glob`` may now be passed multiple times in the command-line.
+ Thanks `@jab`_ and `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR.
+
+* New ``-rp`` and ``-rP`` reporting options give the summary and full output
+ of passing tests, respectively. Thanks to `@codewarrior0`_ for the PR.
+
+* ``pytest.mark.xfail`` now has a ``strict`` option which makes ``XPASS``
+ tests to fail the test suite, defaulting to ``False``. There's also a
+ ``xfail_strict`` ini option that can be used to configure it project-wise.
+ Thanks `@rabbbit`_ for the request and `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR (`#1355`_).
+
+* ``Parser.addini`` now supports options of type ``bool``. Thanks
+ `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR.
+
+* New ``ALLOW_BYTES`` doctest option strips ``b`` prefixes from byte strings
+ in doctest output (similar to ``ALLOW_UNICODE``).
+ Thanks `@jaraco`_ for the request and `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR (`#1287`_).
+
+* give a hint on KeyboardInterrupt to use the --fulltrace option to show the errors,
+ this fixes `#1366`_.
+ Thanks to `@hpk42`_ for the report and `@RonnyPfannschmidt`_ for the PR.
+
+* catch IndexError exceptions when getting exception source location. This fixes
+ pytest internal error for dynamically generated code (fixtures and tests)
+ where source lines are fake by intention
+
+**Changes**
+
+* **Important**: `py.code <http://pylib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/code.html>`_ has been
+ merged into the ``pytest`` repository as ``pytest._code``. This decision
+ was made because ``py.code`` had very few uses outside ``pytest`` and the
+ fact that it was in a different repository made it difficult to fix bugs on
+ its code in a timely manner. The team hopes with this to be able to better
+ refactor out and improve that code.
+ This change shouldn't affect users, but it is useful to let users aware
+ if they encounter any strange behavior.
+
+ Keep in mind that the code for ``pytest._code`` is **private** and
+ **experimental**, so you definitely should not import it explicitly!
+
+ Please note that the original ``py.code`` is still available in
+ `pylib <http://pylib.readthedocs.org>`_.
+
+* ``pytest_enter_pdb`` now optionally receives the pytest config object.
+ Thanks `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR.
+
+* Removed code and documentation for Python 2.5 or lower versions,
+ including removal of the obsolete ``_pytest.assertion.oldinterpret`` module.
+ Thanks `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR (`#1226`_).
+
+* Comparisons now always show up in full when ``CI`` or ``BUILD_NUMBER`` is
+ found in the environment, even when -vv isn't used.
+ Thanks `@The-Compiler`_ for the PR.
+
+* ``--lf`` and ``--ff`` now support long names: ``--last-failed`` and
+ ``--failed-first`` respectively.
+ Thanks `@MichaelAquilina`_ for the PR.
+
+* Added expected exceptions to pytest.raises fail message
+
+* Collection only displays progress ("collecting X items") when in a terminal.
+ This avoids cluttering the output when using ``--color=yes`` to obtain
+ colors in CI integrations systems (`#1397`_).
+
+**Bug Fixes**
+
+* The ``-s`` and ``-c`` options should now work under ``xdist``;
+ ``Config.fromdictargs`` now represents its input much more faithfully.
+ Thanks to `@bukzor`_ for the complete PR (`#680`_).
+
+* Fix (`#1290`_): support Python 3.5's ``@`` operator in assertion rewriting.
+ Thanks `@Shinkenjoe`_ for report with test case and `@tomviner`_ for the PR.
+
+* Fix formatting utf-8 explanation messages (`#1379`_).
+ Thanks `@biern`_ for the PR.
+
+* Fix `traceback style docs`_ to describe all of the available options
+ (auto/long/short/line/native/no), with `auto` being the default since v2.6.
+ Thanks `@hackebrot`_ for the PR.
+
+* Fix (`#1422`_): junit record_xml_property doesn't allow multiple records
+ with same name.
