-- fix issue 214: gracefully handle proxy objects that
-  look like fixtures but raise exceptions on introspection
+- 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.
 - fix issue213 - allow to parametrize with values like numpy arrays that
   do not support an __eq__ operator
