[pytest-dev] (new) pytest plugins / note to plugin authors

[holger krekel]

I just did three pytest plugin releases to get out a few minor
fixes and improvements. see below.  As far as i am aware most
existing plugins (as well as the new releases here) should be 
compatible to pytest-2.4.2.  Some plugins like pytest-capturelog
have seen their latest release three years ago but remain functional.
A good sign that the plugin system is reasonable i guess.

If someone wants to help with organizing plugin compatibility
tests and maintaining a status page, i'd really appreciate that.
With over 50 existing plugins it's not easy to stay on top.
The current pytest.org page is only a start:

    http://pytest.org/latest/plugins.html#extplugins

and here is the full pypi list:

    https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=pytest-&submit=search

there are also some github/bitbucket-only plugins, in addition.

And finally a note to plugin authors: please be subscribed
to pytest-dev and post new plugin releases here.

best,
holger
