+
+0.9.21
+~~~~~~
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+* ``DirContains`` correctly exposed, after being accidentally hidden in the
+ great matcher re-organization of 0.9.17. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+
+0.9.20
+~~~~~~
+
+Three new matchers that'll rock your world.
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+* New, powerful matchers that match items in a dictionary:
+
+ - ``MatchesDict``, match every key in a dictionary with a key in a
+ dictionary of matchers. For when the set of expected keys is equal to the
+ set of observed keys.
+
+ - ``ContainsDict``, every key in a dictionary of matchers must be
+ found in a dictionary, and the values for those keys must match. For when
+ the set of expected keys is a subset of the set of observed keys.
+
+ - ``ContainedByDict``, every key in a dictionary must be found in
+ a dictionary of matchers. For when the set of expected keys is a superset
+ of the set of observed keys.
+
+ The names are a little confusing, sorry. We're still trying to figure out
+ how to present the concept in the simplest way possible.
+
+
+0.9.19
+~~~~~~
+
+How embarrassing! Three releases in two days.
+
+We've worked out the kinks and have confirmation from our downstreams that
+this is all good. Should be the last release for a little while. Please
+ignore 0.9.18 and 0.9.17.
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+* Include the matcher tests in the release, allowing the tests to run and
+ pass from the release tarball. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+* Fix cosmetic test failures in Python 3.3, introduced during release 0.9.17.
+ (Jonathan Lange)
+
+
+0.9.18
+~~~~~~
+
+Due to an oversight, release 0.9.18 did not contain the new
+``testtools.matchers`` package and was thus completely broken. This release
+corrects that, returning us all to normality.
+
+0.9.17
+~~~~~~
+
+This release brings better discover support and Python3.x improvements. There
+are still some test failures on Python3.3 but they are cosmetic - the library
+is as usable there as on any other Python 3 release.
+
+Changes
+-------
+
+* The ``testtools.matchers`` package has been split up. No change to the
+ public interface. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+* ``python -m testtools.run discover . --list`` now works. (Robert Collins)
+
+* Correctly handling of bytes vs text in JSON content type. (Martin [gz])
+
+
+0.9.16
+~~~~~~
+
+Some new matchers and a new content helper for JSON content.
+
+This is the first release of testtools to drop support for Python 2.4 and 2.5.
+If you need support for either of those versions, please use testtools 0.9.15.
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+* New content helper, ``json_content`` (Jonathan Lange)
+
+* New matchers:
+
+ * ``ContainsAll`` for asserting one thing is a subset of another
+ (Raphaël Badin)
+
+ * ``SameMembers`` for asserting two iterators have the same members.
+ (Jonathan Lange)
+
+* Reraising of exceptions in Python 3 is more reliable. (Martin [gz])
+
+
+0.9.15
+~~~~~~
+
+This is the last release to support Python2.4 and 2.5. It brings in a slew of
+improvements to test tagging and concurrency, making running large test suites
+with partitioned workers more reliable and easier to reproduce exact test
+ordering in a given worker. See our sister project ``testrepository`` for a
+test runner that uses these features.
+
+Changes
+-------
+
+* ``PlaceHolder`` and ``ErrorHolder`` now support being given result details.
+ (Robert Collins)
+
+* ``ErrorHolder`` is now just a function - all the logic is in ``PlaceHolder``.
+ (Robert Collins)
+
+* ``TestResult`` and all other ``TestResult``-like objects in testtools
+ distinguish between global tags and test-local tags, as per the subunit
+ specification. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+* This is the **last** release of testtools that supports Python 2.4 or 2.5.
+ These releases are no longer supported by the Python community and do not
+ receive security updates. If this affects you, you will need to either
+ stay on this release or perform your own backports.
+ (Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins)
+
+* ``ThreadsafeForwardingResult`` now forwards global tags as test-local tags,
+ making reasoning about the correctness of the multiplexed stream simpler.
+ This preserves the semantic value (what tags apply to a given test) while
+ consuming less stream size (as no negative-tag statement is needed).
+ (Robert Collins, Gary Poster, #986434)
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+* API documentation corrections. (Raphaël Badin)
+
+* ``ConcurrentTestSuite`` now takes an optional ``wrap_result`` parameter
+ that can be used to wrap the ``ThreadsafeForwardingResult``s created by
+ the suite. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+* ``Tagger`` added. It's a new ``TestResult`` that tags all tests sent to
+ it with a particular set of tags. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+* ``testresultdecorator`` brought over from subunit. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+* All ``TestResult`` wrappers now correctly forward ``current_tags`` from
+ their wrapped results, meaning that ``current_tags`` can always be relied
+ upon to return the currently active tags on a test result.
+
+* ``TestByTestResult``, a ``TestResult`` that calls a method once per test,
+ added. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+* ``ThreadsafeForwardingResult`` correctly forwards ``tags()`` calls where
+ only one of ``new_tags`` or ``gone_tags`` are specified.
+ (Jonathan Lange, #980263)
+
+* ``ThreadsafeForwardingResult`` no longer leaks local tags from one test
+ into all future tests run. (Jonathan Lange, #985613)
+
+* ``ThreadsafeForwardingResult`` has many, many more tests. (Jonathan Lange)
+
+
+0.9.14
+~~~~~~
+
+Our sister project, `subunit <https://launchpad.net/subunit>`_, was using a
+private API that was deleted in the 0.9.13 release. This release restores
+that API in order to smooth out the upgrade path.
+
+If you don't use subunit, then this release won't matter very much to you.
+
+
+0.9.13
+~~~~~~
+
+Plenty of new matchers and quite a few critical bug fixes (especially to do
+with stack traces from failed assertions). A net win for all.
