Tox-plus

---------

- don't lookup "pip-script" anymore but rather just "pip" on windows
as this is a pip implementation detail and changed with pip-1.5.
It might mean that tox-1.7 is not able to install a different pip
version into a virtualenv anymore.

- drop Python2.5 compatibility because it became too hard due
to the setuptools-2.0 dropping support. tox now has no
support for creating python2.5 based environments anymore
and all internal special-handling has been removed.

- merged PR81: new option --force-dep which allows to
override tox.ini specified dependencies in setuptools-style.
For example "--force-dep 'django<1.6'" will make sure
that any environment using "django" as a dependency will
get the latest 1.5 release. Thanks Bruno Oliveria for
the complete PR.

- merged PR125: tox now sets "PYTHONHASHSEED" to a random value
and offers a "--hashseed" option to repeat a test run with a specific seed.
You can also use --hashsheed=noset to instruct tox to leave the value
alone. Thanks Chris Jerdonek for all the work behind this.

- fix issue132: removing zip_safe setting (so it defaults to false)
to allow installation of tox
via easy_install/eggs. Thanks Jenisys.

- fix issue126: depend on virtualenv>=1.11.2 so that we can rely
(hopefully) on a pip version which supports --pre. (tox by default
uses to --pre). also merged in PR84 so that we now call "virtualenv"
directly instead of looking up interpreters. Thanks Ionel Maries Cristian.
This also fixes issue140.

- fix issue130: you can now set install_command=easy_install {opts} {packages}
and expect it to work for repeated tox runs (previously it only worked
when always recreating). Thanks jenisys for precise reporting.

- fix issue129: tox now uses Popen(..., universal_newlines=True) to force
creation of unicode stdout/stderr streams. fixes a problem on specific
platform configs when creating virtualenvs with Python3.3. Thanks
Jorgen Schäfer or investigation and solution sketch.

- fix issue128: enable full substitution in install_command,
thanks for the PR to Ronald Evers

- rework and simplify "commands" parsing and in particular posargs
substitutions to avoid various win32/posix related quoting issues.

- make sure that the --installpkg option trumps any usedevelop settings
in tox.ini or

- introduce --no-network to tox's own test suite to skip tests
requiring networks

- introduce --sitepackages to force sitepackages=True in all
environments.

- fix issue105 -- don't depend on an existing HOME directory from tox tests.

-----

- fix issue119: {envsitepackagesdir} is now correctly computed and has
a better test to prevent regression.

- fix issue116: make 1.6 introduced behaviour of changing to a
per-env HOME directory during install activities dependent
on "--set-home" for now. Should re-establish the old behaviour
when no option is given.

- fix issue118: correctly have two tests use realpath(). Thanks Barry
Warsaw.

- fix test runs on environments without a home directory
(in this case we use toxinidir as the homedir)

- fix issue117: python2.5 fix: don't use ``--insecure`` option because
its very existence depends on presence of "ssl". If you
want to support python2.5/pip1.3.1 based test environments you need
to install ssl and/or use PIP_INSECURE=1 through ``setenv``. section.

- fix issue102: change to {toxinidir} when installing dependencies.
this allows to use relative path like in "-rrequirements.txt".

-----------------

- fix issue35: add new EXPERIMENTAL "install_command" testenv-option to
configure the installation command with options for dep/pkg install.
Thanks Carl Meyer for the PR and docs.

- fix issue91: python2.5 support by vendoring the virtualenv-1.9.1
script and forcing pip<1.4. Also the default [py25] environment
modifies the default installer_command (new config option)
to use pip without the "--pre" option which was introduced
with pip-1.4 and is now required if you want to install non-stable
releases. (tox defaults to install with "--pre" everywhere).

- during installation of dependencies HOME is now set to a pseudo
location ({envtmpdir}/pseudo-home). If an index url was specified
a .pydistutils.cfg file will be written with an index_url setting
so that packages defining ``setup_requires`` dependencies will not
silently use your HOME-directory settings or https://pypi.python.org.

- fix issue1: empty setup files are properly detected, thanks Anthon van
der Neuth

- remove toxbootstrap.py for now because it is broken.

- fix issue109 and fix issue111: multiple "-e" options are now combined
(previously the last one would win). Thanks Anthon van der Neut.

- add --result-json option to write out detailed per-venv information
into a json report file to be used by upstream tools.

- add new config options ``usedevelop`` and ``skipsdist`` as well as a
command line option ``--develop`` to install the package-under-test in develop mode.
thanks Monty Tailor for the PR.

- always unset PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTE because newer setuptools doesn't like it

- if a HOMEDIR cannot be determined, use the toxinidir.

- refactor interpreter information detection to live in new
tox/interpreters.py file, tests in tests/test_interpreters.py.

-----------------

- fix issue104: use setuptools by default, instead of distribute,
now that setuptools has distribute merged.

- make sure test commands are searched first in the virtualenv

- re-fix issue2 - add whitelist_externals to be used in ``[testenv*]``
sections, allowing to avoid warnings for commands such as ``make``,
used from the commands value.

- fix issue97 - allow substitutions to reference from other sections
(thanks Krisztian Fekete)

- fix issue92 - fix {envsitepackagesdir} to actually work again

- show (test) command that is being executed, thanks
Lukasz Balcerzak

- re-license tox to MIT license

- depend on virtualenv-1.9.1

- rename README.txt to README.rst to make bitbucket happier

-----------------

- use pip-script.py instead of pip.exe on win32 to avoid the lock exe
file on execution issue (thanks Philip Thiem)

- introduce -l|--listenv option to list configured environments
(thanks Lukasz Balcerzak)

- fix downloadcache determination to work according to docs: Only
make pip use a download cache if PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE or a
downloadcache=PATH testenv setting is present. (The ENV setting
takes precedence)

- fix issue84 - pypy on windows creates a bin not a scripts venv directory
(thanks Lukasz Balcerzak)

- experimentally introduce --installpkg=PATH option to install a package
rather than create/install an sdist package. This will still require
and use tox.ini and tests from the current working dir (and not from the
remote package).

- substitute {envsitepackagesdir} with the package installation
directory (closes 72) (thanks g2p)

- issue 70 remove PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE workaround now that
virtualenv behaves properly (thanks g2p)

- merged tox-quickstart command, contributed by Marc Abramowitz, which
generates a default tox.ini after asking a few questions

- fix 48 - win32 detection of pypy and other interpreters that are on PATH
(thanks Gustavo Picon)

- fix grouping of index servers, it is now done by name instead of
indexserver url, allowing to use it to separate dependencies
into groups even if using the same default indexserver.

- look for "tox.ini" files in parent dirs of current dir (closes 34)

- the "py" environment now by default uses the current interpreter
(sys.executable) make tox' own setup.py test execute tests with it
(closes 46)

- change tests to not rely on os.path.expanduser (closes 60),
also make mock session return args[1:] for more precise checking (closes 61)
thanks to Barry Warsaw for both.

-----------------

- fix some tests which fail if /tmp is a symlink to some other place
- "python setup.py test" now runs tox tests via tox :)
also added an example on how to do it for your project.
