- make tests and the ``pytest_recwarn`` plugin in paricular fully compatible
- make tests and the ``pytest_recwarn`` plugin in particular fully compatible
to Python2.7 (if you use the ``recwarn`` funcarg warnings will be enabled so that
you can properly check for their existence in a cross-python manner).
- improve error messages if importing a test module failed (ImportError,
import file mismatches, syntax errors)
- refine --pdb: ignore xfailed tests, unify its TB-reporting and
don't display failures again at the end.
- fix assertion interpretation with the ** operator (thanks Benjamin Peterson)

py.test/pylib 1.3.2: API and reporting refinements, many fixes
===========================================================================
The pylib/py.test 1.3.2 release brings many bug fixes and a few new
features and was refined for and tested against the recently released
Python2.7 besides remaining compatibile to the usual armada of interpreters
The pylib/py.test 1.3.2 release brings many bug fixes and some new
features. It was refined for and tested against the recently released
Python2.7 and remains compatibile to the usual armada of interpreters
(Python2.4 through to Python3.1.2, Jython and PyPy). Note that for using
distributed testing features you'll need to upgrade to the jointly released
pytest-xdist-1.4 because of some internal refactorings.
