+**Changes**
+
+* Change ``report.outcome`` for ``xpassed`` tests to ``"passed"`` in non-strict
+  mode and ``"failed"`` in strict mode. Thanks to `@hackebrot`_ for the PR
+  (`#1795`_) and `@gprasad84`_ for report (`#1546`_).
+
+* Tests marked with ``xfail(strict=False)`` (the default) now appear in
+  JUnitXML reports as passing tests instead of skipped.
+  Thanks to `@hackebrot`_ for the PR (`#1795`_).
