Welcome to the 1.0 release bringing new flexibility and Welcome to the 1.0 release bringing new flexibility and

and many more! and many more!
* funcargs - powerful mechanism for all your setup needs * funcargs - bringing new flexibilty and zero-boilerplate to Python testing:
* distributed testing: ad-hoc send and run tests on many platforms - cleanly separated test code and test configuration and test value setup
- ideal for integration and functional tests
- new generative tests -> deprecation of yield-generated tests
* distributed testing and distributed execution (py.execnet):
- new unified "TX" URL scheme for specifying remote resources
- new sync/async ways to handle multiple remote processes
- much improved documentation
* remove first round of non-test related code, notably
greenlets and apigen (documentation generation) that
now live on their own
