Nose

- New function nose.runmodule() finds and runs tests only in a
single module, which defaults to __main__ (like unittest.main() or
doctest.runmodule()). Thanks Greg Wilson for the suggestion.
- Multiple -w (--where) arguments can now be used in one command line,
to find and run tests in multiple locations. Thanks Titus Brown for
the suggestion.
- Multiple --include and --exclude arguments are now accepted in one command
line. Thanks Michal Kwiatkowski for the feature request.
- Coverage will now include modules not imported by any test when
using the new --cover-inclusive switch. Thanks James Casbon for the
patch.
- module:TestClass test selections now properly select all tests in the test
class.
- startTest and stopTest are now called in plugins at the beginning and end of
test suites, including test modules, as well as individual tests. Thanks
Michal Kwiatkowski for the suggestion.
- Fix bug in test selection when run as ``python setup.py test``: 'test' was
passing through and being used as the test name selection. Thanks Kumar
McMillan for the bug report.
- Fix bug in handling of -x/--stop option where the test run would stop on
skipped or deprecated tests. Thanks Kumar McMillan for the bug report.
- Fix bug in loading tests from projects with layouts that place modules in
/lib or /src dirs and tests in a parallel /tests dir.
- Fix bug in python version detection. Thanks Kevin Dangoor for the bug report
and fix.
- Fix log message in selector that could raise IndexError. Thanks Kumar
McMillan for the bug report and patch.
- Fix bug in handling doctest extension arguments specified in environment and
on command line. Thanks Ian Bicking for the bug report.
- Fix bug in running fixtures (setup/teardown) that are not functions, and
report a better error message when a fixture is not callable. Thanks Ian
Bicking for the bug report.

- More unit tests and better test coverage. Numerous bugfixes deriving from
same.
- Make --exe option do what it says, and turn it on by default on
Windows. Add --noexe option so windows users can turn if off.Thanks
richard at artsalliancemedia dot com for the bug reports.
- Handle a working directory that happens to be in the middle of a package
more gracefully. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report and test case.
- Fix bugs in test name comparison when a test module is specified whose name
overlaps that of a non-test module. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report
and test case.
- Fix warning spam when a non-existent test file is requested on the command
line. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report.

- Allow --debug to set any logger to DEBUG. Thanks to casbon at gmail dot com
for the patch.
- Fix doctest help, which was missing notes about the environment variables
that it accepts. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the patch.
- Restore sys.stdout after run() in nose.core. Thanks to Titus Brown for the
bug report.
- Correct handling of trailing comma in attrib plugin args. Thanks Titus Brown
for the patch.

- Fix bug in handling of OR conditions in attrib plugin. Thanks to Titus
Brown for the bug report.
- Fix bug in nose.importer that would cause an attribute error when a local
module shadowed a builtin, or other object in sys.modules, without a
__file__ attribute. Thanks to casbon at gmail dot com for the bug report.
- Fix bug in nose.tools decorators that would cause decorated tests to appear
with incorrect names in result output.

- In TestLoader, use inspect's isfunction() and ismethod() to filter functions
and methods, instead of callable(). Thanks to Kumar McMillan for reporting
the bug.
- Fix doctest plugin: return an empty iterable when no tests are found in a
directory instead of None. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the bug report and
patch.
- Ignore executable python modules, unless run with --exe file. This is a
partial defense against nose causing trouble by loading python modules that
are not import-safe. The full defense: don't write modules that aren't
import safe!
- Catch and warn about errors on plugin load instead of dying.
- Renamed builtin profile module from nose.plugins.profile to
nose.plugins.prof to avoid shadowing stdlib profile.py module.

- Add support for plugins, with hooks for selecting, loading and reporting on
tests. Doctest and coverage are now plugins.
- Add builtin plugins for profiling with hotshot, selecting tests by
attribute (contributed by Mika Eloranta), and warning of missed tests
specified on command line.
- Change command line test selection syntax to match unittest. Thanks to Titus
Brown for the suggestion.
- Option to drop into pdb on error or failure.
- Option to stop running on first error or failure. Thanks to Kevin Dangoor
for the suggestion.
- Support for doctests in files other than python modules (python 2.4 only)
- Reimplement base test selection as single self-contained class.
- Reimplement test loading as unittest-compatible TestLoader class.
- Remove all monkeypatching.
- Reimplement output capture and assert introspection support in
unittest-compatible Result class.
- Better support for multiline constructions in assert introspection.
- More context output with assert introspections.
- Refactor setuptools test command support to use proxied result, which
enables output capture and assert introspection support without
monkeypatching. Thanks to Philip J. Eby for the suggestion and skeleton
implementation.
- Add support for generators in test classes. Thanks to Jay Parlar for the
suggestion and patch.
- Add nose.tools package with some helpful test-composition functions and
decorators, including raises, contributed by Scot Doyle.
- Reimplement nose.main (TestProgram) to have unittest-compatible signature.
- All-new import path handling. You can even turn it off! (If you don't,
nose will ensure that all directories from which it imports anything are on
sys.path before the import.)
- Logging package used for verbose logging.
- Support for skipped and deprecated tests.
- Configuration is no longer global.
