* improved test architecture, featuring super-simple project
specific or cross-project single-file plugins, e.g:
pytest_unittest.py: run traditional unittest.py tests
pytest_xfail.py: mark tests as "expected to fail"
pytest_pocoo.py: automatically send tracebacks to pocoo paste service
pytest_monkeypatch.py: safely patch parts of your environment in a test function
pytest_figleaf.py: generate html coverage reports
pytest_resultlog.py: generate buildbot-friendly output

and many more!
* funcargs - powerful mechanism for all your setup needs
* funcargs - bringing new flexibilty and zero-boilerplate to Python testing:
* distributed testing: ad-hoc send and run tests on many platforms
- cleanly separated test code and test configuration and test value setup
- ideal for integration and functional tests
- new generative tests -> deprecation of yield-generated tests
* distributed testing and distributed execution (py.execnet):
- new unified "TX" URL scheme for specifying remote resources
- new sync/async ways to handle multiple remote processes
- much improved documentation
* remove first round of non-test related code, notably
greenlets and apigen (documentation generation) that
now live on their own

* py.code: higher-level introspection and dynamic generation of python code
* py.path: path abstractions over local and subversion files
Some non-strictly-test related code, notably greenlets/co-routines
and apigen now live on their own and have been removed, also simplifying
the installation procedures.
The whole package works well with Linux, OSX and Win32, on
Python 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6. (Expect Python3 compatibility soon!)
