+pytest-3.0.0
+============
+
+The pytest team is proud to announce the 3.0.0 release!
+
+pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1600 tests
+against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms.
+
+This release contains a lot of bugs and improvements, and much of
+the work done on it was possible because of the 2016 Sprint[1], which
+was funded by an indiegogo campaign which raised over US$12,000 with 
+nearly 100 backers. 
+
+There's a "What's new in pytest 3.0" [2] blog post highlighting the 
+major features in this release.
+
+To see the complete changelog and documentation, please visit:
+
+    http://docs.pytest.org
+
+As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via:
+
+    pip install -U pytest
+
