+py.test/pylib 1.1.1: bugfix release, improved 1.0.x backward compat
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a compatibility fixing release of pylib/py.test to work
+better with previous 1.0.x code bases.  It also contains fixes
+and changes to work with `execnet>=1.0.0b4`_ which is now required
+(but is not installed automatically, issue "easy_install -U execnet").
+Last but not least, documentation has been improved.
+
+What is pylib/py.test? 
+-----------------------
+
+py.test is an advanced automated testing tool working with
+Python2, Python3 and Jython versions on all major operating
+systems. It has an extensive plugin architecture and can run many 
+existing common Python test suites without modification.  Moreover,
+it offers some unique features not found in other
+testing tools.  See http://pytest.org for more info.
+
+The pylib contains a localpath and svnpath implementation 
+and some developer-oriented command line tools. See
+http://pylib.org for more info.
+
+thanks to all who helped and gave feedback,
+have fun,
