CHANGELOG

@@ -1,3 +1,86 @@
+1.12
+-------------------------
+
+- fix issue594: properly report errors when the test collection
+  is random.  Thanks Bruno Oliveira.
+
+- some internal test suite adaptation (to become forward
+  compatible with the upcoming pytest-2.8)
+
+
+1.11
+-------------------------
+
+- fix pytest/xdist issue485 (also depends on py-1.4.22):
+  attach stdout/stderr on --boxed processes that die.
+
+- fix pytest/xdist issue503: make sure that a node has usually
+  two items to execute to avoid scoped fixtures to be torn down
+  pre-maturely (fixture teardown/setup is "nextitem" sensitive).
+  Thanks to Andreas Pelme for bug analysis and failing test.
+
+- restart crashed nodes by internally refactoring setup handling
+  of nodes.  Also includes better code documentation.  
+  Many thanks to Floris Bruynooghe for the complete PR.
+
+
+1.10
+-------------------------
+
+- add glob support for rsyncignores, add command line option to pass
+  additional rsyncignores. Thanks Anatoly Bubenkov.
+
+- fix pytest issue382 - produce "pytest_runtest_logstart" event again
+  in master. Thanks Aron Curzon.
+
+- fix pytest issue419 by sending/receiving indices into the test 
+  collection instead of node ids (which are not neccessarily unique
+  for functions parametrized with duplicate values)
+
+- send multiple "to test" indices in one network message to a slave
+  and improve heuristics for sending chunks where the chunksize
+  depends on the number of remaining tests rather than fixed numbers.
+  This reduces the number of master -> node messages (but not the
+  reverse direction)
+
+
+1.9
+-------------------------
+
+- changed LICENSE to MIT
+
+- fix duplicate reported test ids with --looponfailing
+  (thanks Jeremy Thurgood)
+
+- fix pytest issue41: re-run tests on all file changes, not just
+  randomly select ones like .py/.c.
+
+- fix pytest issue347: slaves running on top of Python3.2
+  will set PYTHONDONTWRITEYBTECODE to 1 to avoid import concurrency
+  bugs.
+
+1.8
+-------------------------
+
+- fix pytest-issue93 - use the refined pytest-2.2.1 runtestprotocol
+  interface to perform eager teardowns for test items.
+
+1.7
+-------------------------
+
+- fix incompatibilities with pytest-2.2.0 (allow multiple
+  pytest_runtest_logreport reports for a test item)
+
+1.6
+-------------------------
+
+- terser collection reporting
+
+- fix issue34 - distributed testing with -p plugin now works correctly
+
+- fix race condition in looponfail mode where a concurrent file removal
+  could cause a crash
+
 1.5

+If your testing involves C or C++ libraries you might have to deal
