~~~~~

Improvements
------------

* Add support for Python 3.9.
(Hugo van Kemenade)

* Python 3.5 has reached end-of-life and this is the last release to support it.

* The skip, skipIf, and skipUnless decorators can now be used as class
decorators as well as test method decorators, just as they can in
unittest.

* The ``SameMembers`` matcher class is now exposed as part of the public
matchers API.

Changes
-------

* The dependency on the ``unittest2`` module has been removed. This has some
knock on effects, including the removal of the ``assertItemsEqual`` helper
which was removed from ``unittest`` in Python 3.x.

* The ``safe_hasattr`` utility has been removed from ``testtools.helpers``.
This was a compat wrapper introduced in 0.9.25 when the utility itself was
moved to the ``extras`` package. It is no longer used on Python 3-only
projects.

* The ``try_imports`` utility has been removed from ``testtools.helpers``.
This was a compat wrapper introduced in 0.9.25 when the utility itself was
moved to the ``extras`` package. It is no longer used within testtools and
has therefore been dropped.
