Changelog 1.0.0 to 1.0.1
------------------------

* added a default 'pytest_nose' plugin which handles nose.SkipTest,
  nose-style function/method/generator setup/teardown and
  tries to report functions correctly.

* improved documentation, better navigation: see http://pytest.org

* added a "--help-config" option to show conftest.py / ENV-var names for
  all longopt cmdline options, and some special conftest.py variables.
  renamed 'conf_capture' conftest setting to 'option_capture' accordingly.

* unicode fixes: capturing and unicode writes to sys.stdout
  (through e.g a print statement) now work within tests,
  they are encoded as "utf8" by default, also terminalwriting
  was adapted and somewhat unified between windows and linux

* fix issue #27: better reporting on non-collectable items given on commandline
  (e.g. pyc files)

* fix issue #33: added --version flag (thanks Benjamin Peterson)

* fix issue #32: adding support for "incomplete" paths to wcpath.status()

* "Test" prefixed classes are *not* collected by default anymore if they
  have an __init__ method

* monkeypatch setenv() now accepts a "prepend" parameter

* improved reporting of collection error tracebacks

* simplified multicall mechanism and plugin architecture,
  renamed some internal methods and argnames
