The 2.5.2 release fixes a few bugs with two maybe-bugs remaining and actively being worked on (and waiting for the bug reporter's input). We also have a new contribution guide thanks to Piotr Banaszkiewicz and an improved 3rd party plugin overview (including py2/py3 tests) page thanks to Bruno Oliveira. See docs at: http://pytest.org As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via:: pip install -U pytest Thanks to the following people who contributed to this release: Anatoly Bubenkov Ronny Pfannschmidt Floris Bruynooghe Bruno Oliveira Andreas Pelme Jurko Gospodnetić Piotr Banaszkiewicz Simon Liedtke lakka Lukasz Balcerzak Philippe Muller Daniel Hahler have fun, holger krekel 2.5.2 ----------------------------------- - fix issue409 -- better interoperate with cx_freeze by not trying to import from collections.abc which causes problems for py27/cx_freeze. Thanks Wolfgang L. for reporting and tracking it down. - fixed docs and code to use "pytest" instead of "py.test" almost everywhere. Thanks Jurko Gospodnetic for the complete PR. - fix issue425: mention at end of "py.test -h" that --markers and --fixtures work according to specified test path (or current dir) - fix issue413: exceptions with unicode attributes are now printed correctly also on python2 and with pytest-xdist runs. (the fix requires py-1.4.20) - copy, cleanup and integrate py.io capture from pylib 1.4.20.dev2 (rev 13d9af95547e) - address issue416: clarify docs as to conftest.py loading semantics - fix issue429: comparing byte strings with non-ascii chars in assert expressions now work better. Thanks Floris Bruynooghe. - make capfd/capsys.capture private, its unused and shouldnt be exposed
