+pytest-2.8.3
+============
+
+pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1100 tests
+against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms.
+This release is supposed to be drop-in compatible to 2.8.2.
+
+See below for the changes and see docs at:
+
+    http://pytest.org
+
+As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via::
+
+    pip install -U pytest
+
+Thanks to all who contributed to this release, among them:
+
+  Bruno Oliveira
+  Florian Bruhin
+  Jeff Widman
+  Mehdy Khoshnoody
+  Nicholas Chammas
+  Ronny Pfannschmidt
+  Tim Chan
+
+
+Happy testing,
+The py.test Development Team
