| pytest-2.3.5: bug fixes and little improvements |
| =========================================================================== |
| |
| pytest-2.3.5 is a maintenance release with many bug fixes and little |
| improvements. See the changelog below for details. No backward |
| compatibility issues are foreseen and all plugins which worked with the |
| prior version are expected to work unmodified. Speaking of which, a |
| few interesting new plugins saw the light last month: |
| |
| - pytest-instafail: show failure information while tests are running |
| - pytest-qt: testing of GUI applications written with QT/Pyside |
| - pytest-xprocess: managing external processes across test runs |
| - pytest-random: randomize test ordering |
| |
| And several others like pytest-django saw maintenance releases. |
