2.4

Major Changes

• Support for Python-2.4 and Python-2.5 on the managed system's side was dropped. If you need to manage a system that ships with Python-2.4 or Python-2.5, you'll need to install Python-2.6 or better on the managed system or run Ansible-2.3 until you can upgrade the system.
• New import/include keywords to replace the old bare include directives. The use of static: {yes|no} on such includes is now deprecated.
  • Using import_* (import_playbook, import_tasks, import_role) directives are static.
  • Using include_* (include_tasks, include_role) directives are dynamic.
    This is done to avoid collisions and possible security issues as facts come from the remote targets and they might be compromised.
• New order play level keyword that allows the user to change the order in which Ansible processes hosts when dispatching tasks.
• Users can now set group merge priority for groups of the same depth (parent child relationship), using the new ansible_group_priority variable, when values are the same or don't exist it will fallback to the previous sorting by name'.
• Inventory has been revamped:

• Inventory classes have been split to allow for better management and deduplication
• Logic that each inventory source duplicated is now common and pushed up to reconciliation
• VariableManager has been updated for better interaction with inventory
• Updated CLI with helper method to initialize base objects for plays
• New inventory plugins for creating inventory
• Old inventory formats are still supported via plugins
• Inline host_list is also an inventory plugin, an example alternative advanced_host_list is also provided (it supports ranges)
• New configuration option to list enabled plugins and precedence order [inventory]enable_plugins in ansible.cfg
• vars_plugins have been reworked, they are now run from Vars manager and API has changed (need docs)
• Loading group_vars/host_vars is now a vars plugin and can be overridden
• It is now possible to specify multiple inventory sources in the command line (-i /etc/hosts1 -i /opt/hosts2)
• Inventory plugins can use the cache plugin (i.e. virtualbox) and is affected by meta: refresh_inventory
• Group variable precedence is now configurable via new 'precedence' option in ansible.cfg (needs docs)
• Improved warnings and error messages across the board

• Configuration has been changed from a hardcoded listing in the constants module to dynamically loaded from yaml definitions

• Also added an ansible-config CLI to allow for listing config options and dumping current config (including origin)
• TODO: build upon this to add many features detailed in ansible-config proposal ansible-config ansible/proposals#35

• Windows modules now support the use of multiple shared module_utils files in the form of Powershell modules (.psm1), via Requires -Module Ansible.ModuleUtils.Whatever.psm1
• Python module argument_spec now supports custom validation logic by accepting a callable as the type argument.
• Windows become_method: runas is no longer marked experimental
• Windows become_method: runas now works across all authtypes and will auto-elevate under UAC if WinRM user has "Act as part of the operating system" privilege

Deprecations

• The behaviour when specifying --tags (or --skip-tags) multiple times on the command line
  has changed so that the tags are merged together by default. See the
  documentation for how to temporarily use the old behaviour if needed:
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.htmlmerge-multiple-cli-tags
• The fetch module's validate_md5 parameter has been deprecated and will be
  removed in 2.8. If you wish to disable post-validation of the downloaded
  file, use validate_checksum instead.
• Those using ansible as a library should note that the ansible.vars.unsafe_proxy
  module is deprecated and slated to go away in 2.8. The functionality has been
  moved to ansible.utils.unsafe_proxy to avoid a circular import.
• The win_get_url module has the dictionary 'win_get_url' in its results deprecated,
  its content is now also available directly in the resulting output, like other modules.
• Previously deprecated 'hostfile' config settings have been 're-deprecated' as before the code did not warn about deprecated configuration settings, but it does now.

pytest 3.0.7 -> 3.4.0

3.4.0

=========================

Deprecations and Removals

• All pytest classes now subclass object for better Python 2/3 compatibility.
  This should not affect user code except in very rare edge cases. (2147 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2147>_)

Features

• Introduce empty_parameter_set_mark ini option to select which mark to
  apply when pytest.mark.parametrize is given an empty set of parameters.
  Valid options are skip (default) and xfail. Note that it is planned
  to change the default to xfail in future releases as this is considered
  less error prone. (2527 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2527>_)

• Incompatible change: after community feedback the logging <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/logging.html>_ functionality has
  undergone some changes. Please consult the logging documentation <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/logging.htmlincompatible-changes-in-pytest-3-4>_
  for details. (3013 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3013>_)

• Console output falls back to "classic" mode when capturing is disabled (-s),
  otherwise the output gets garbled to the point of being useless. (3038 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3038>_)

• New pytest_runtest_logfinish <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/writing_plugins.html_pytest.hookspec.pytest_runtest_logfinish>_
  hook which is called when a test item has finished executing, analogous to
  pytest_runtest_logstart <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/writing_plugins.html_pytest.hookspec.pytest_runtest_start>.
  (3101 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3101>)

• Improve performance when collecting tests using many fixtures. (3107 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3107>_)

• New caplog.get_records(when) method which provides access to the captured
  records for the "setup", "call" and "teardown"
  testing stages. (3117 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3117>_)

• New fixture record_xml_attribute that allows modifying and inserting
  attributes on the <testcase> xml node in JUnit reports. (3130 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3130>_)

• The default cache directory has been renamed from .cache to
  .pytest_cache after community feedback that the name .cache did not
  make it clear that it was used by pytest. (3138 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3138>_)

• Colorize the levelname column in the live-log output. (3142 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3142>_)

Bug Fixes

• Fix hanging pexpect test on MacOS by using flush() instead of wait().
  (2022 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2022>_)

• Fix restoring Python state after in-process pytest runs with the
  pytester plugin; this may break tests using multiple inprocess
  pytest runs if later ones depend on earlier ones leaking global interpreter
  changes. (3016 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3016>_)

• Fix skipping plugin reporting hook when test aborted before plugin setup
  hook. (3074 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3074>_)

• Fix progress percentage reported when tests fail during teardown. (3088 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3088>_)

• Incompatible change: -o/--override option no longer eats all the
  remaining options, which can lead to surprising behavior: for example,
  pytest -o foo=1 /path/to/test.py would fail because /path/to/test.py
  would be considered as part of the -o command-line argument. One
  consequence of this is that now multiple configuration overrides need
  multiple -o flags: pytest -o foo=1 -o bar=2. (3103 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3103>_)

Improved Documentation

• Document hooks (defined with historic=True) which cannot be used with
  hookwrapper=True. (2423 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2423>_)

• Clarify that warning capturing doesn't change the warning filter by default.
  (2457 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2457>_)

• Clarify a possible confusion when using pytest_fixture_setup with fixture
  functions that return None. (2698 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2698>_)

• Fix the wording of a sentence on doctest flags used in pytest. (3076 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3076>_)

• Prefer https://*.readthedocs.io over http://*.rtfd.org for links in
  the documentation. (3092 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3092>_)

• Improve readability (wording, grammar) of Getting Started guide (3131 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3131>_)

• Added note that calling pytest.main multiple times from the same process is
  not recommended because of import caching. (3143 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3143>_)

Trivial/Internal Changes

• Show a simple and easy error when keyword expressions trigger a syntax error
  (for example, "-k foo and import" will show an error that you can not use
  the import keyword in expressions). (2953 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2953>_)

• Change parametrized automatic test id generation to use the __name__
  attribute of functions instead of the fallback argument name plus counter.
  (2976 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2976>_)

• Replace py.std with stdlib imports. (3067 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3067>_)

• Corrected 'you' to 'your' in logging docs. (3129 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3129>_)

3.3.2

=========================

Bug Fixes

• pytester: ignore files used to obtain current user metadata in the fd leak
  detector. (2784 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2784>_)

• Fix memory leak where objects returned by fixtures were never destructed
  by the garbage collector. (2981 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2981>_)

• Fix conversion of pyargs to filename to not convert symlinks on Python 2. (2985 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2985>_)

• PYTEST_DONT_REWRITE is now checked for plugins too rather than only for
  test modules. (2995 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2995>_)

Improved Documentation

• Add clarifying note about behavior of multiple parametrized arguments (3001 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3001>_)

Trivial/Internal Changes

• Code cleanup. (3015 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3015>,
  3021 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3021>)

• Clean up code by replacing imports and references of _ast to ast. (3018 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3018>_)

3.3.1

=========================

Bug Fixes

• Fix issue about -p no:<plugin> having no effect. (2920 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2920>_)

• Fix regression with warnings that contained non-strings in their arguments in
  Python 2. (2956 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2956>_)

• Always escape null bytes when setting PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST. (2957 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2957>_)

• Fix ZeroDivisionError when using the testmon plugin when no tests
  were actually collected. (2971 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2971>_)

• Bring back TerminalReporter.writer as an alias to
  TerminalReporter._tw. This alias was removed by accident in the 3.3.0
  release. (2984 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2984>_)

• The pytest-capturelog plugin is now also blacklisted, avoiding errors when
  running pytest with it still installed. (3004 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3004>_)

Improved Documentation

• Fix broken link to plugin pytest-localserver. (2963 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2963>_)

Trivial/Internal Changes

• Update github "bugs" link in CONTRIBUTING.rst (2949 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2949>_)

3.3.0

=========================

Deprecations and Removals

• Pytest no longer supports Python 2.6 and 3.3. Those Python versions
  are EOL for some time now and incur maintenance and compatibility costs on
  the pytest core team, and following up with the rest of the community we
  decided that they will no longer be supported starting on this version. Users
  which still require those versions should pin pytest to <3.3. (2812 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2812>_)

• Remove internal _preloadplugins() function. This removal is part of the
  pytest_namespace() hook deprecation. (2636 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2636>_)

• Internally change CallSpec2 to have a list of marks instead of a broken
  mapping of keywords. This removes the keywords attribute of the internal
  CallSpec2 class. (2672 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2672>_)

• Remove ParameterSet.deprecated_arg_dict - its not a public api and the lack
  of the underscore was a naming error. (2675 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2675>_)

• Remove the internal multi-typed attribute Node._evalskip and replace it
  with the boolean Node._skipped_by_mark. (2767 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2767>_)

• The params list passed to pytest.fixture is now for
  all effects considered immutable and frozen at the moment of the pytest.fixture
  call. Previously the list could be changed before the first invocation of the fixture
  allowing for a form of dynamic parametrization (for example, updated from command-line options),
  but this was an unwanted implementation detail which complicated the internals and prevented
  some internal cleanup. See issue 2959 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2959>_
  for details and a recommended workaround.

Features

• pytest_fixture_post_finalizer hook can now receive a request
  argument. (2124 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2124>_)

• Replace the old introspection code in compat.py that determines the available
  arguments of fixtures with inspect.signature on Python 3 and
  funcsigs.signature on Python 2. This should respect __signature__
  declarations on functions. (2267 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2267>_)

• Report tests with global pytestmark variable only once. (2549 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2549>_)

• Now pytest displays the total progress percentage while running tests. The
  previous output style can be set by configuring the console_output_style
  setting to classic. (2657 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2657>_)

• Match warns signature to raises by adding match keyword. (2708 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2708>_)

• Pytest now captures and displays output from the standard logging module.
  The user can control the logging level to be captured by specifying options
  in pytest.ini, the command line and also during individual tests using
  markers. Also, a caplog fixture is available that enables users to test
  the captured log during specific tests (similar to capsys for example).
  For more information, please see the logging docs <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/logging.html>. This feature was
  introduced by merging the popular pytest-catchlog <https://pypi.org/project/pytest-catchlog/> plugin, thanks to Thomas Hisch <https://github.com/thisch>. Be advised that during the merging the
  backward compatibility interface with the defunct pytest-capturelog has
  been dropped. (2794 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2794>)

• Add allow_module_level kwarg to pytest.skip(), enabling to skip the
  whole module. (2808 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2808>_)

• Allow setting file_or_dir, -c, and -o in PYTEST_ADDOPTS. (2824 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2824>_)

• Return stdout/stderr capture results as a namedtuple, so out and
  err can be accessed by attribute. (2879 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2879>_)

• Add capfdbinary, a version of capfd which returns bytes from
  readouterr(). (2923 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2923>_)

• Add capsysbinary a version of capsys which returns bytes from
  readouterr(). (2934 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2934>_)

• Implement feature to skip setup.py files when run with
  --doctest-modules. (502 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/502>_)

Bug Fixes

• Resume output capturing after capsys/capfd.disabled() context manager.
  (1993 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1993>_)

• pytest_fixture_setup and pytest_fixture_post_finalizer hooks are now
  called for all conftest.py files. (2124 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2124>_)

• If an exception happens while loading a plugin, pytest no longer hides the
  original traceback. In Python 2 it will show the original traceback with a new
  message that explains in which plugin. In Python 3 it will show 2 canonized
  exceptions, the original exception while loading the plugin in addition to an
  exception that pytest throws about loading a plugin. (2491 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2491>_)

• capsys and capfd can now be used by other fixtures. (2709 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2709>_)

• Internal pytester plugin properly encodes bytes arguments to
  utf-8. (2738 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2738>_)

• testdir now uses use the same method used by tmpdir to create its
  temporary directory. This changes the final structure of the testdir
  directory slightly, but should not affect usage in normal scenarios and
  avoids a number of potential problems. (2751 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2751>_)

• Pytest no longer complains about warnings with unicode messages being
  non-ascii compatible even for ascii-compatible messages. As a result of this,
  warnings with unicode messages are converted first to an ascii representation
  for safety. (2809 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2809>_)

• Change return value of pytest command when --maxfail is reached from
  2 (interrupted) to 1 (failed). (2845 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2845>_)

• Fix issue in assertion rewriting which could lead it to rewrite modules which
  should not be rewritten. (2939 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2939>_)

• Handle marks without description in pytest.ini. (2942 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2942>_)

Trivial/Internal Changes

• pytest now depends on attrs <https://pypi.org/project/attrs/>_ for internal
  structures to ease code maintainability. (2641 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2641>_)

• Refactored internal Python 2/3 compatibility code to use six. (2642 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2642>_)

• Stop vendoring pluggy - we're missing out on its latest changes for not
  much benefit (2719 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2719>_)

• Internal refactor: simplify ascii string escaping by using the
  backslashreplace error handler in newer Python 3 versions. (2734 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2734>_)

• Remove unnecessary mark evaluator in unittest plugin (2767 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2767>_)

• Calls to Metafunc.addcall now emit a deprecation warning. This function
  is scheduled to be removed in pytest-4.0. (2876 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2876>_)

• Internal move of the parameterset extraction to a more maintainable place.
  (2877 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2877>_)

• Internal refactoring to simplify scope node lookup. (2910 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2910>_)

• Configure pytest to prevent pip from installing pytest in unsupported
  Python versions. (2922 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2922>_)

3.2.5

=========================

Bug Fixes

• Remove py<1.5 restriction from pytest as this can cause version
  conflicts in some installations. (2926 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2926>_)

3.2.4

=========================

Bug Fixes

• Fix the bug where running with --pyargs will result in items with
  empty parent.nodeid if run from a different root directory. (2775 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2775>_)

• Fix issue with pytest.parametrize if argnames was specified as keyword arguments.
  (2819 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2819>_)

• Strip whitespace from marker names when reading them from INI config. (2856 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2856>_)

• Show full context of doctest source in the pytest output, if the line number of
  failed example in the docstring is < 9. (2882 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2882>_)

• Match fixture paths against actual path segments in order to avoid matching folders which share a prefix.
  (2836 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2836>_)

Improved Documentation

• Introduce a dedicated section about conftest.py. (1505 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1505>_)

• Explicitly mention xpass in the documentation of xfail. (1997 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1997>_)

• Append example for pytest.param in the example/parametrize document. (2658 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2658>_)

• Clarify language of proposal for fixtures parameters (2893 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2893>_)

• List python 3.6 in the documented supported versions in the getting started
  document. (2903 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2903>_)

• Clarify the documentation of available fixture scopes. (538 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/538>_)

• Add documentation about the python -m pytest invocation adding the
  current directory to sys.path. (911 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/911>_)

3.2.3

=========================

Bug Fixes

• Fix crash in tab completion when no prefix is given. (2748 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2748>_)

• The equality checking function (__eq__) of MarkDecorator returns
  False if one object is not an instance of MarkDecorator. (2758 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2758>_)

• When running pytest --fixtures-per-test: don't crash if an item has no
  fixtureinfo attribute (e.g. doctests) (2788 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2788>)

Improved Documentation

• In help text of -k option, add example of using not to not select
  certain tests whose names match the provided expression. (1442 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1442>_)

• Add note in parametrize.rst about calling metafunc.parametrize
  multiple times. (1548 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1548>_)

Trivial/Internal Changes

• Set xfail_strict=True in pytest's own test suite to catch expected
  failures as soon as they start to pass. (2722 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2722>_)

• Fix typo in example of passing a callable to markers (in example/markers.rst)
  (2765 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2765>_)

3.2.2

=========================

Bug Fixes

• Calling the deprecated request.getfuncargvalue() now shows the source of
  the call. (2681 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2681>_)

• Allow tests declared as staticmethod to use fixtures. (2699 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2699>_)

• Fixed edge-case during collection: attributes which raised pytest.fail
  when accessed would abort the entire collection. (2707 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2707>_)

• Fix ReprFuncArgs with mixed unicode and UTF-8 args. (2731 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2731>_)

Improved Documentation

• In examples on working with custom markers, add examples demonstrating the
  usage of pytest.mark.MARKER_NAME.with_args in comparison with
  pytest.mark.MARKER_NAME.__call__ (2604 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2604>_)

• In one of the simple examples, use pytest_collection_modifyitems() to skip
  tests based on a command-line option, allowing its sharing while preventing a
  user error when acessing pytest.config before the argument parsing. (2653 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2653>_)

Trivial/Internal Changes

• Fixed minor error in 'Good Practices/Manual Integration' code snippet.

=========================

Bug Fixes

• Fixed small terminal glitch when collecting a single test item. (2579 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2579>_)

• Correctly consider / as the file separator to automatically mark plugin
  files for rewrite on Windows. (2591 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2591>_)

• Properly escape test names when setting PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST environment
  variable. (2644 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2644>_)

• Fix error on Windows and Python 3.6+ when sys.stdout has been replaced
  with a stream-like object which does not implement the full io module
  buffer protocol. In particular this affects pytest-xdist users on the
  aforementioned platform. (2666 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2666>_)

Improved Documentation

• Explicitly document which pytest features work with unittest. (2626 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2626>_)

3.2.0

=========================

Deprecations and Removals

• pytest.approx no longer supports >, >=, < and <=
  operators to avoid surprising/inconsistent behavior. See the approx docs <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/builtin.htmlpytest.approx>_ for more
  information. (2003 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2003>_)

• All old-style specific behavior in current classes in the pytest's API is
  considered deprecated at this point and will be removed in a future release.
  This affects Python 2 users only and in rare situations. (2147 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2147>_)

• A deprecation warning is now raised when using marks for parameters
  in pytest.mark.parametrize. Use pytest.param to apply marks to
  parameters instead. (2427 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2427>_)

Features

• Add support for numpy arrays (and dicts) to approx. (1994 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1994>_)

• Now test function objects have a pytestmark attribute containing a list
  of marks applied directly to the test function, as opposed to marks inherited
  from parent classes or modules. (2516 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2516>_)

• Collection ignores local virtualenvs by default; --collect-in-virtualenv
  overrides this behavior. (2518 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2518>_)

• Allow class methods decorated as staticmethod to be candidates for
  collection as a test function. (Only for Python 2.7 and above. Python 2.6
  will still ignore static methods.) (2528 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2528>_)

• Introduce mark.with_args in order to allow passing functions/classes as
  sole argument to marks. (2540 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2540>_)

• New cache_dir ini option: sets the directory where the contents of the
  cache plugin are stored. Directory may be relative or absolute path: if relative path, then
  directory is created relative to rootdir, otherwise it is used as is.
  Additionally path may contain environment variables which are expanded during
  runtime. (2543 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2543>_)

• Introduce the PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST environment variable that is set with
  the nodeid and stage (setup, call and teardown) of the test
  being currently executed. See the documentation <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/example/simple.htmlpytest-current-test- environment-variable>_ for more info. (2583 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2583>_)

• Introduced pytest.mark.filterwarnings mark which allows overwriting the
  warnings filter on a per test, class or module level. See the docs <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/warnings.htmlpytest-mark- filterwarnings>_ for more information. (2598 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2598>_)

• --last-failed now remembers forever when a test has failed and only
  forgets it if it passes again. This makes it easy to fix a test suite by
  selectively running files and fixing tests incrementally. (2621 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2621>_)

• New pytest_report_collectionfinish hook which allows plugins to add
  messages to the terminal reporting after collection has been finished
  successfully. (2622 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2622>_)

• Added support for PEP-415's <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0415/>_
  Exception.__suppress_context__. Now if a raise exception from None is
  caught by pytest, pytest will no longer chain the context in the test report.
  The behavior now matches Python's traceback behavior. (2631 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2631>_)

• Exceptions raised by pytest.fail, pytest.skip and pytest.xfail
  now subclass BaseException, making them harder to be caught unintentionally
  by normal code. (580 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/580>_)

Bug Fixes

• Set stdin to a closed PIPE in pytester.py.Testdir.popen() for
  avoid unwanted interactive pdb (2023 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2023>_)

• Add missing encoding attribute to sys.std* streams when using
  capsys capture mode. (2375 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2375>_)

• Fix terminal color changing to black on Windows if colorama is imported
  in a conftest.py file. (2510 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2510>_)

• Fix line number when reporting summary of skipped tests. (2548 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2548>_)

• capture: ensure that EncodedFile.name is a string. (2555 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2555>_)

• The options --fixtures and --fixtures-per-test will now keep
  indentation within docstrings. (2574 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/2574>_)

• doctests line numbers are now reported correctly, fixing pytest-sugar122 <https://github.com/Frozenball/pytest-sugar/issues/122>. (2610 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/2610>)

• Fix non-determinism in order of fixture collection. Adds new dependency
  (ordereddict) for Python 2.6. (920 <https://github.com/pytest- dev/pytest/issues/920>_)

Improved Documentation

• Clarify pytest_configure hook call order. (`2539
