pytest 2.9.0-rc.1

Hi all, We released pytest 2.9.0-rc.1, a release candidate to try to identify any regressions before the official 2.9.0 release. It would be really helpful if people could install this version, execute their test suites and report any regressions to pytest-dev@python.org or the issues page[1]. To install this release, please execute the following with a virtualenv active: pip install -i https://devpi.net/nicoddemus/dev pytest==2.9.0-rc.1 [1] https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues Thanks, The py.test team.
