xunit-style functions and methods are invoked by autouse fixtures

+`Class xunit-style <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/xunit_setup.html>`__ functions and methods
+now obey the scope of *autouse* fixtures.
+
+This fixes a number of surprising issues like ``setup_method`` being called before session-scoped
+autouse fixtures (see `#517 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/517>`__ for an example).

 * It is possible for setup/teardown pairs to be invoked multiple times
   per testing process.
+
 * teardown functions are not called if the corresponding setup function existed
   and failed/was skipped.
 
+* Prior to pytest-4.2, xunit-style functions did not obey the scope rules of fixtures, so
+  it was possible, for example, for a ``setup_method`` to be called before a
+  session-scoped autouse fixture.
+
+  Now the xunit-style functions are integrated with the fixture mechanism and obey the proper
+  scope rules of fixtures involved in the call.
