+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.

+- `#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
