* No idea what I'm doing.

* Extend integration test to cover ac3f6a78c7401aba9b62c2c67f280a129ae84eaf.

* Remove useless output to stop failing other tests.

* Reformat.

* Upgrade virtualenv to see if it fixes py34 builds

* Add CHANGELOG entry

* Make foobarplugin part of the test only

* Fix language_version in pre-commit for rst
