Changelog 1.0.0 to 1.0.1

  • added a default ‘pytest_nose’ plugin which handles nose.SkipTest, nose-style function/method/generator setup/teardown and tries to report functions correctly.
  • improved documentation, better navigation: see http://pytest.org
  • added a “–help-config” option to show conftest.py / ENV-var names for all longopt cmdline options, and some special conftest.py variables. renamed ‘conf_capture’ conftest setting to ‘option_capture’ accordingly.
  • unicode fixes: capturing and unicode writes to sys.stdout (through e.g a print statement) now work within tests, they are encoded as “utf8” by default, also terminalwriting was adapted and somewhat unified between windows and linux
  • fix issue #27: better reporting on non-collectable items given on commandline (e.g. pyc files)
  • fix issue #33: added –version flag (thanks Benjamin Peterson)
  • fix issue #32: adding support for “incomplete” paths to wcpath.status()
  • “Test” prefixed classes are not collected by default anymore if they have an __init__ method
  • monkeypatch setenv() now accepts a “prepend” parameter
  • improved reporting of collection error tracebacks
  • simplified multicall mechanism and plugin architecture, renamed some internal methods and argnames
