Pytest-xdist

================================

Bug Fixes
---------

- Fix crash when transferring internal pytest warnings from workers to the
master node. (`214 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-
xdist/issues/214>`_)

================================

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- ``--boxed`` functionality has been moved to a separate plugin, `pytest-forked
<https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-forked>`_. This release now depends on
`` pytest-forked`` and provides ``--boxed`` as a backward compatibility
option. (`1 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1>`_)


Features
--------

- New ``--dist=loadscope`` option: sends group of related tests to the same
worker. Tests are grouped by module for test functions and by class for test
methods. See ``README.rst`` for more information. (`191 <https://github.com
/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/191>`_)

- Warnings are now properly transferred from workers to the master node. (`92
<https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/92>`_)


Bug Fixes
---------

- Fix serialization of native tracebacks (``--tb=native``). (`196
<https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/196>`_)

================================

Bug Fixes
---------

- Removal of unnecessary dependency on incorrect version of py. (`105
<https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/105>`_)

- Fix bug in internal event-loop error handler in the master node. This bug
would shadow the original errors making extremely hard/impossible for users
to diagnose the problem properly. (`175 <https://github.com/pytest-
dev/pytest-xdist/issues/175>`_)

================================

Bug Fixes
---------

- Fixed serialization of ``longrepr.sections`` during error reporting from
workers. (`171 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/171>`_)

- Fix ``ReprLocal`` not being unserialized breaking --showlocals usages. (`176
<https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/176>`_)

================================

- ``pytest-xdist`` now requires ``pytest>=3.0.0``.

Features
--------

- Add long option `--numprocesses` as alternative for `-n`. (168)


Bug Fixes
---------

- Fix serialization and deserialization dropping longrepr details. (133)

================================

Bug Fixes
---------

- Hot fix release reverting the change introduced by 124, unfortunately it
broke a number of test suites so we are reversing this change while we
investigate the problem. (157)
