Old name preserved for backwards compatibility, but is + now deprecated. Please stop using it. + (Jonathan Lange, #813460) + +* ``gather_details`` takes two dicts, rather than two detailed objects. + (Jonathan Lange, #801027) + +* ``MatchesRegex`` mismatch now says " does not match //" rather + than " did not match ". The regular expression contains fewer + backslashes too. (Jonathan Lange, #818079) + +* Tests that run with ``AsynchronousDeferredRunTest`` now have the ``reactor`` + attribute set to the running reactor. (Jonathan Lange, #720749) + +Improvements +------------ + +* All public matchers are now in ``testtools.matchers.__all__``. + (Jonathan Lange, #784859) + +* assertThat output is much less verbose, displaying only what the mismatch + tells us to display. Old-style verbose output can be had by passing + ``verbose=True`` to assertThat. (Jonathan Lange, #675323, #593190) + +* assertThat accepts a message which will be used to annotate the matcher. This + can be given as a third parameter or as a keyword parameter. (Robert Collins) + +* Automated the Launchpad part of the release process. + (Jonathan Lange, #623486) + +* Correctly display non-ASCII unicode output on terminals that claim to have a + unicode encoding. (Martin [gz], #804122) + +* ``DocTestMatches`` correctly handles unicode output from examples, rather + than raising an error. (Martin [gz], #764170) + +* ``ErrorHolder`` and ``PlaceHolder`` added to docs. (Jonathan Lange, #816597) + +* ``ExpectedException`` now matches any exception of the given type by + default, and also allows specifying a ``Matcher`` rather than a mere regular + expression. (Jonathan Lange, #791889) + +* ``FixtureSuite`` added, allows test suites to run with a given fixture. + (Jonathan Lange) + +* Hide testtools's own stack frames when displaying tracebacks, making it + easier for test authors to focus on their errors. + (Jonathan Lange, Martin [gz], #788974) + +* Less boilerplate displayed in test failures and errors. + (Jonathan Lange, #660852) + +* ``MatchesException`` now allows you to match exceptions against any matcher, + rather than just regular expressions. (Jonathan Lange, #791889) + +* ``MatchesException`` now permits a tuple of types rather than a single type + (when using the type matching mode). (Robert Collins) + +* ``MatchesStructure.byEquality`` added to make the common case of matching + many attributes by equality much easier. ``MatchesStructure.byMatcher`` + added in case folk want to match by things other than equality. + (Jonathan Lange) + +* New convenience assertions, ``assertIsNone`` and ``assertIsNotNone``. + (Christian Kampka) + +* New matchers: + + * ``AllMatch`` matches many values against a single matcher. + (Jonathan Lange, #615108) + + * ``Contains``. (Robert Collins) + + * ``GreaterThan``. (Christian Kampka) + +* New helper, ``safe_hasattr`` added. (Jonathan Lange) + +* ``reraise`` added to ``testtools.compat``.

(Tim Cole, #771508) + +* If, when calling ``useFixture`` an error occurs during fixture set up, we + still attempt to gather details from the fixture. (Gavin Panella) + + +Improvements +------------ + +* Additional compat helper for ``BytesIO`` for libraries that build on + testtools and are working on Python 3 porting. (Robert Collins) + +* Corrected documentation for ``MatchesStructure`` in the test authors + document. (Jonathan Lange) + +* ``LessThan`` error message now says something that is logically correct. + (Gavin Panella, #762008) + +* Multiple details from a single fixture are now kept separate, rather than + being mooshed together. (Gavin Panella, #788182) + +* Python 3 support now back in action. (Martin [gz], #688729) + +* ``try_import`` and ``try_imports`` have a callback that is called whenever + they fail to import a module.
