Nose

- Fixed bug that broke plugins with names containing underscores or
hyphens. Thanks to John J Lee for the bug report and patch (Issue
81).
- Fixed typo in nose.__all__. Thanks to John J Lee for the bug report.
- Fixed handling of test descriptions that are multiline
docstrings. Thanks to James Casbon for the patch (Issue 50).
- Improved documentation of doctest plugin to make it clear that
entities may have doctests, or themselves be tests, but not
both. Thanks to John J Lee for the bug report and patch (Issue 84).
- Made __file__ available in non-python-module doctests.
- Fixed bug that made it impossible for plugins to exclude package
directories from test discovery (Issue 89). Thanks to John J Lee
for the bug report and patch.
- Fixed bug that swallowed TypeError and AttributeError exceptions
raised in some plugin calls (Issue 95). Thanks to John J Lee for
the bug report.
- Fixed inconsistencies in many interfaces and docs. Thanks to John J
Lee for many bug reports.
- Fixed bugs in rpm generation (Issue 96). Thanks to Mike Verdone for
the bug report and http://bugs.python.org/issue644744 for the fix.
- Fixed inconsisent use of os.environ in plugin testing
utilities. Thanks to John J Lee for the bug report and patch (Issue
97).

doctests (Issue 100). Thanks to John J Lee for the bug report.
- Fixed bug in error class plugin that caused string exceptions to be
masked (Issue 101). Thanks to depaula for the bug report.

Windows (Issue 103). Thanks to Sidnei Da Silva for the bug report.

John L Lee for patches and lots of help.
- Changed default location of id file for TestId plugin from ~/.noseids to
.noseids in the configured working directory.

- Added support for a description attribute on tests in function and
method test cases. Most useful for generators: set the description
attribute on the yielded function.
- Fixed incorrect signature of addSuccess() method in
IPluginInterface. Thanks to nosexunit for the bug report. (Issue
68).
- Fixed isclass() function in nose.util so that it will not raise an
exception when examining instances that have no accessible __bases__
attribute. (Issue 65).
- Fixed passing of tests to result; the test itself and not the
wrapper was being passed, resulting in test description plugin hooks
not being called. (Issue 71).
- Fixed bugs in FailureDetail and Capture plugins, and plugin manager
and proxy uses of chainable plugin calls. Thanks to Ian Bicking for
the bug report (Issue 72).
- Improved documentation.

- Changed entry point name to nose.plugins.0.10 -- dashes and other
non-word characters besides . are not allowed in entry point names.
(Issue 67)
- Fixed loading of plugins from that entry point.
- Fixed backwards-compatibility issue in nose.util (is_generator was
renamed isgenerator). (Issue 64)
- Fixed bug in --logging-config option. Thanks to anton_kr... at yahoo
com for the bug report. (Issue 62)
- Fixed bug in handling of --where argument: first --where was not
passed to loader as workingDir. Thanks to nosexunit for the bug
report. (Issue 63).

- Rewrote test loader to be more drop-in compatible with
unittest.TestLoader and to support a more user-friendly command
line.
- Rewrote test runner and result classes to reduce duplication of effort.
- Revised configuration system to be less convoluted.
- Added nose.case.TestCase as universal wrapper for all
testcases. Plugins always see instances of this class.
- Added a management layer to the plugin system, allowing for easy use
of different plugin loading schemes. The default manager loads
builtin plugins, 0.10 plugins under the setuptools entrypoint
nose.plugins.0-10 and provides limited support for legacy plugins
loaded under the entrypoint nose.plugins.
- Added plugin hooks in all phases of discovery, running and description.
- Converted several formely core features to plugins: output capture,
assert introspection, pdb, and skipped and deprecated test support.
- Added id plugin that allows for easier specification of tests on the
command line.
- Added ErrorClassPlugin base class to allow for easier authoring of
plugins that handle errors, like the builtin skipped and deprecated
test plugins.
- Added support for loading doctests from non-module files for all
supported python versions.
- Added score property to plugins to allow plugins to execute in a
defined order (higher score execute first).
- Expanded nose's own test suite to include a variety of functional tests.
- Fixed many bugs.

- Added support for user configuration files. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou for the
patch.
- Fixed bug that caused profiler plugin to leak 0-byte temp files. Thanks to
Antoine Pitrou for the patch.
- Made usage of temp files in profiler plugin more sensible. Thanks to Michael
Sclenker for the bug report.
- Fixed bug that stopped loading of twisted TestCase tests. Thanks to Kumar
McMillan for the bug report.
- Corrected man page location. Thanks to luke macken for the bug report and
patch.
- Added with_setup to nose.tools.__all__. Thanks to Allen Bierbaum for the bug
report.
- Altered plugin loading so that builtin plugins can be loaded without
setuptools. Thanks to Allen Bierbaum for the suggestion.
- Fixed a bug in the doctests plugin that caused an error when multiple
exclude arguments were specified. Thanks to mbeachy for the bug report and
patch.

- Added nosetests setuptools command. Now you can run python setup.py
nosetests and have access to all nose features and plugins. Thanks to James
Casbon for the patch.
- Added make_decorator function to nose.tools. Used to construct decorator
functions that are well-behaved and preserve as much of the original
function's metadata as possible. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou for the patch.
- Added nose.twistedtools, contributed by Antoine Pitrou. This module adds
deferred decorator that makes it simple to write deferred tests, with or
without timeouts.
- Added monkeypatch to doctests that keeps doctest from stepping on coverage
when the two plugins are used together. Thanks to David Avraamides for the
bug report.
- Added isolation plugin. Use this plugin to automatically restore sys.modules
after each test module or package. Thanks to Michal Kwiatkowski for the
feature request.
- Fixed bug where -vvvv turned off verbose logging instead of making it even
more verbose. Thanks to Ian Bicking for the bug report.
- Fixed bug where assert inspection would fail when the trailing """ of a
docstring was one of the inspected lines. Thanks to cito at online dot de
for the bug report.

the test case class. Thanks to Jason Hildebrand for the patch.
- Improved compatibility with python 2.2. Thanks to Chad Whitacre for the
patch.

the patch.

funciton would result in an AttributeError. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou for the
bug report.
- Updated coverage plugin to ignore lines tagged with pragma: no cover,
matching the behavior of coverage.py on the command line. Thanks to Bill
Zingler for the bug report.
- Added a man page for nosetests. Thanks to Gustavo Noronha Silva for the
request and providing an example.
