+pytest-xdist 2.2.1 (2021-02-09)
+===============================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#623 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/623>`_: Gracefully handle the pending deprecation of Node.fspath by using config.rootpath for topdir.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 2.2.0 (2020-12-14)
+===============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#608 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/608>`_: Internal errors in workers are now propagated to the master node.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 2.1.0 (2020-08-25)
+===============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#585 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/585>`_: New ``pytest_xdist_auto_num_workers`` hook can be implemented by plugins or ``conftest.py`` files to control the number of workers when ``--numprocesses=auto`` is given in the command-line.
+
+
+Trivial Changes
+---------------
+
+- `#585 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/585>`_: ``psutil`` has proven to make ``pytest-xdist`` installation in certain platforms and containers problematic, so to use it for automatic number of CPUs detection users need to install the ``psutil`` extra::
+
+      pip install pytest-xdist[psutil]
+
+
+pytest-xdist 2.0.0 (2020-08-12)
+===============================
+
+Deprecations and Removals
+-------------------------
+
+- `#541 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/541>`_: Drop backward-compatibility "slave" aliases related to worker nodes.  We deliberately moved away from this terminology years ago, and it seems like the right time to finish the deprecation and removal process.
+
+- `#569 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/569>`_: ``pytest-xdist`` no longer supports Python 2.7.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#504 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/504>`_: New functions ``xdist.is_xdist_worker``, ``xdist.is_xdist_master``, ``xdist.get_xdist_worker_id``, to easily identify the current node.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#471 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/471>`_: Fix issue with Rsync reporting in quiet mode.
+
+- `#553 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/553>`_: When using ``-n auto``, count the number of physical CPU cores instead of logical ones.
+
+
+Trivial Changes
+---------------
+
+- `#541 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/541>`_: ``pytest-xdist`` now requires ``pytest>=6.0``.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.34.0 (2020-07-27)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#549 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/549>`_: Make ``--pdb`` imply ``--dist no``, as the two options cannot really work together at the moment.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#478 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/478>`_: Fix regression with duplicated arguments via $PYTEST_ADDOPTS in 1.30.0.
+
+- `#558 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/558>`_: Fix ``rsyncdirs`` usage with pytest 6.0.
+
+- `#562 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/562>`_: Do not trigger the deprecated ``pytest_warning_captured`` in pytest 6.0+.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.33.0 (2020-07-09)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#554 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/554>`_: Fix warnings support for upcoming pytest 6.0.
+
+
+Trivial Changes
+---------------
+
+- `#548 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/548>`_: SCM and CI files are no longer included in the source distribution.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.32.0 (2020-05-03)
+================================
+
+Deprecations and Removals
+-------------------------
+
+- `#475 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/475>`_: Drop support for EOL Python 3.4.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#524 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/524>`_: Add `testrun_uid` fixture. This is a shared value that uniquely identifies a test run among all workers.
+  This also adds a `PYTEST_XDIST_TESTRUNUID` environment variable that is accessible within a test as well as a command line option `--testrunuid` to manually set the value from outside.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.31.0 (2019-12-19)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#486 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/486>`_: Add support for Python 3.8.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#491 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/491>`_: Fix regression that caused custom plugin command-line arguments to be discarded when using ``--tx`` mode.
+
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.30.0 (2019-10-01)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#448 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/448>`_: Initialization between workers and master nodes is now more consistent, which fixes a number of
+  long-standing issues related to startup with the ``-c`` option.
+
+  Issues:
+
+  * `#6 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/6>`__: Poor interaction between ``-n#`` and ``-c X.cfg``
+  * `#445 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/445>`__: pytest-xdist is not reporting the same nodeid as pytest does
+
+  This however only works with **pytest 5.1 or later**, as it required changes in pytest itself.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#467 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/467>`_: Fix crash issues related to running xdist with the terminal plugin disabled.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.29.0 (2019-06-14)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#226 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/226>`_: ``--max-worker-restart`` now assumes a more reasonable value (4 times the number of
+  nodes) when not given explicitly. This prevents test suites from running forever when the suite crashes during collection.
+
+- `#435 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/435>`_: When the test session is interrupted due to running out of workers, the reason is shown in the test summary
+  for easier viewing.
+
+- `#442 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/442>`_: Compatibility fix for upcoming pytest 5.0: ``session.exitstatus`` is now an ``IntEnum`` object.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#435 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/435>`_: No longer show an internal error when we run out of workers due to crashes.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.28.0 (2019-04-02)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#426 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/426>`_: ``pytest-xdist`` now uses the new ``pytest_report_to_serializable`` and ``pytest_report_from_serializable``
+  hooks from ``pytest 4.4`` (still experimental). This will make report serialization more reliable and
+  extensible.
+
+  This also means that ``pytest-xdist`` now requires ``pytest>=4.4``.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.27.0 (2019-02-15)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#374 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/374>`_: The new ``pytest_xdist_getremotemodule`` hook allows overriding the module run on remote nodes.
+
+- `#415 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/415>`_: Improve behavior of ``--numprocesses=auto`` to work well with ``--pdb`` option.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.26.1 (2019-01-28)
+================================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#406 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/406>`_: Do not implement deprecated ``pytest_logwarning`` hook in pytest versions where it is deprecated.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.26.0 (2019-01-11)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#376 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/376>`_: The current directory is no longer added ``sys.path`` for local workers, only for remote connections.
+
+  This behavior is surprising because it makes xdist runs and non-xdist runs to potentially behave differently.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#379 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/379>`_: Warning attributes are checked to make sure they can be dumped prior to
+  serializing the warning for submission to the master node.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.25.0 (2018-12-12)
+================================
+
+Deprecations and Removals
+-------------------------
+
+- `#372 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/372>`_: Pytest versions older than 3.6 are no longer supported.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#373 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/373>`_: Node setup information is hidden when pytest is run in quiet mode to reduce noise on many-core machines.
+
+- `#388 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/388>`_: ``mainargv`` is made available in ``workerinput`` from the host's ``sys.argv``.
+
+  This can be used via ``request.config.workerinput["mainargv"]``.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#332 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/332>`_: Fix report of module-level skips (``pytest.skip(reason, allow_module_level=True)``).
+
+- `#378 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/378>`_: Fix support for gevent monkeypatching
+
+- `#384 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/384>`_: pytest 4.1 support: ``ExceptionInfo`` API changes.
+
+- `#390 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/390>`_: pytest 4.1 support: ``pytest_logwarning`` hook removed.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.24.1 (2018-11-09)
+================================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#349 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/349>`_: Correctly handle warnings created with arguments that can't be serialized during the transfer from workers to master node.
+
+
+pytest-xdist 1.24.0 (2018-10-18)
+================================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#337 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/337>`_: New ``--maxprocesses`` command-line option that limits the maximum number of workers when using ``--numprocesses=auto``.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#351 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/351>`_: Fix scheduling deadlock in case of inter-test locking.

-  expensive module-level or class-level fixtures. Currently the groupings can't be customized,

+* ``--dist no``: The default algorithm, distributing one test at a time.

-  worker, guaranteeing that all tests in a group run in the same worker. This feature was added
-  in version ``1.21``.
+* ``--dist loadscope``: Tests are grouped by **module** for *test functions*

+  class-level fixtures. Grouping by class takes priority over grouping by

+* ``--dist loadfile``: Tests are grouped by their containing file. Groups are

+
+Making session-scoped fixtures execute only once
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``pytest-xdist`` is designed so that each worker process will perform its own collection and execute
+a subset of all tests. This means that tests in different processes requesting a high-level
+scoped fixture (for example ``session``) will execute the fixture code more than once, which
+breaks expectations and might be undesired in certain situations.
+
+While ``pytest-xdist`` does not have a builtin support for ensuring a session-scoped fixture is
+executed exactly once, this can be achieved by using a lock file for inter-process communication.
+
+The example below needs to execute the fixture ``session_data`` only once (because it is
+resource intensive, or needs to execute only once to define configuration options, etc), so it makes
+use of a `FileLock <https://pypi.org/project/filelock/>`_ to produce the fixture data only once
+when the first process requests the fixture, while the other processes will then read
+the data from a file.
+
+Here is the code:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import json
+
+    import pytest
+    from filelock import FileLock
+
+
+    @pytest.fixture(scope="session")
+    def session_data(tmp_path_factory, worker_id):
+        if worker_id == "master":
+            # not executing in with multiple workers, just produce the data and let
+            # pytest's fixture caching do its job
+            return produce_expensive_data()
+
+        # get the temp directory shared by all workers
+        root_tmp_dir = tmp_path_factory.getbasetemp().parent
+
+        fn = root_tmp_dir / "data.json"
+        with FileLock(str(fn) + ".lock"):
+            if fn.is_file():
+                data = json.loads(fn.read_text())
+            else:
+                data = produce_expensive_data()
+                fn.write_text(json.dumps(data))
+        return data
+
+
+The example above can also be use in cases a fixture needs to execute exactly once per test session, like
+initializing a database service and populating initial tables.
+
+This technique might not work for every case, but should be a starting point for many situations
+where executing a high-scope fixture exactly once is important.
