+Changes between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3
+-----------------------------------
+
+- fix issue214 - parse modules that contain special objects like e. g.
+  flask's request object which blows up on getattr access if no request
+  is active. thanks Thomas Waldmann.
+
+- fix issue213 - allow to parametrize with values like numpy arrays that
+  do not support an __eq__ operator
+
+- fix issue215 - split test_python.org into multiple files
+
+- fix issue148 - @unittest.skip on classes is now recognized and avoids
+  calling setUpClass/tearDownClass, thanks Pavel Repin
+
+- fix issue209 - reintroduce python2.4 support by depending on newer
+  pylib which re-introduced statement-finding for pre-AST interpreters
+
+- nose support: only call setup if its a callable, thanks Andrew
+  Taumoefolau
+
+- fix issue219 - add py2.4-3.3 classifiers to TROVE list
+
+- in tracebacks *,** arg values are now shown next to normal arguments
+  (thanks Manuel Jacob)
+
+- fix issue217 - support mock.patch with pytest's fixtures - note that
+  you need either mock-1.0.1 or the python3.3 builtin unittest.mock.
+
+- fix issue127 - improve documentation for pytest_addoption() and
+  add a ``config.getoption(name)`` helper function for consistency.
