+pytest-2.8.5
+============
+
+pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1100 tests
+against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms.
+This release is supposed to be drop-in compatible to 2.8.4.
+
+See below for the changes and see docs at:
+
+    http://pytest.org
+
+As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via::
+
+    pip install -U pytest
+
+Thanks to all who contributed to this release, among them:
+
+  Alex Gaynor
+  aselus-hub
+  Bruno Oliveira
+  Ronny Pfannschmidt
+
+
+Happy testing,
+The py.test Development Team
+
+
+2.8.5 (compared to 2.8.4)
+-------------------------
+
+- fix #1243: fixed issue where class attributes injected during collection could break pytest.
+  PR by Alexei Kozlenok, thanks Ronny Pfannschmidt and Bruno Oliveira for the review and help.
+
+- fix #1074: precompute junitxml chunks instead of storing the whole tree in objects
+  Thanks Bruno Oliveira for the report and Ronny Pfannschmidt for the PR
