tox 1.4: the virtualenv-based test run automatizer ============================================================================= I am happy to announce tox 1.4 which brings: - improvements with configuration file syntax, now allowing re-using selected settings across config file sections. see http://bit.ly/Ly3K4f - terminal reporting was simplified and streamlined. Now with verbosity==0 (the default), less information will be shown and you can use one or multiple "-v" options to increase verbosity. - internal re-organisation so that the separately released "detox" tool can reuse tox code to implement a fully distributed tox run.
