**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/network-unit-testing-system/nuts/compare/v3.2.0...v3.3.0

The latest 3.2.0 release for Nuts supports a new feature "Unpack Grouped Tests". This feature allows you to specify ``groups`` or ``tags`` for the NornirContext tests instead of using ``host``.
Based on the filter result on Nornir inventory for each host a test is created.

* Add feature "Unpack Grouped Tests" (65)
* Update (secutiry) dependencis (72)
* Remove legacy project name Nettowel (74)
* Removed lucmurer as a maintainer, add marcom4rtinez and ubaumann
* Rename ``master`` branch into ``main``

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a

The latest 3.1.0 release for Nuts contains some new tests contributed by marcom4rtinez and sevigrimm, and fixes some security (dependency) issues.

* Add test bundle for ARP table testing (57)
* Add test bundle for VLAN testing (57, 29)
* Add test bundle for Config testing (startup vs. running config) (57)
* Add count tests for CDP/LLDP neighbors (57)
* Add existence test for network instances to network instance test bundle (57)
* Fix some dependency-security issues (56)
* Removed bytinbit as a maintainer

* Add more integration tests for "bad" results
* Add API documentation

* Improve error handling - the current implementation has an opaque error handling and is not really informative or helpful.
* Refactor self-tests - the current self-tests are hard to read for non-devs and must be improved.

**Planned for 4.0.0 (aka the far future)**

Nuts is deeply intertwined with pytest to create test classes out of the yaml file. It digs deep into pytest to use its functionalities without really committing to pytest. It smells of future problems with project growth. Version 4 will try to solve that, but this may also introduce breaking changes.
