+Changes between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1.dev
+----------------------------------------
+
+- fix issue93 (in pytest and pytest-xdist) avoid "delayed teardowns":
+  the final test in a test node will now run its teardown directly
+  instead of waiting for the end of the session. Thanks Dave Hunt for
+  the good reporting and feedback.  The pytest_runtest_protocol as well
+  as the pytest_runtest_teardown hooks now have "nextitem" available 
+  which will be None indicating the end of the test run.
