+pytest 8.1.2 (2024-04-26)
+=========================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#12114 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12114>`_: Fixed error in :func:`pytest.approx` when used with `numpy` arrays and comparing with other types.
+
+
+pytest 8.1.1 (2024-03-08)
+=========================
+
+.. note::
+
+       This release is not a usual bug fix release -- it contains features and improvements, being a follow up
+       to ``8.1.0``, which has been yanked from PyPI.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#11475 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11475>`_: Added the new :confval:`consider_namespace_packages` configuration option, defaulting to ``False``.
+
+  If set to ``True``, pytest will attempt to identify modules that are part of `namespace packages <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/packaging-namespace-packages>`__ when importing modules.
+
+
+- `#11653 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11653>`_: Added the new :confval:`verbosity_test_cases` configuration option for fine-grained control of test execution verbosity.
+  See :ref:`Fine-grained verbosity <pytest.fine_grained_verbosity>` for more details.
+
+
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+- `#10865 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10865>`_: :func:`pytest.warns` now validates that :func:`warnings.warn` was called with a `str` or a `Warning`.
+  Currently in Python it is possible to use other types, however this causes an exception when :func:`warnings.filterwarnings` is used to filter those warnings (see `CPython #103577 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/103577>`__ for a discussion).
+  While this can be considered a bug in CPython, we decided to put guards in pytest as the error message produced without this check in place is confusing.
+
+
+- `#11311 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11311>`_: When using ``--override-ini`` for paths in invocations without a configuration file defined, the current working directory is used
+  as the relative directory.
+
+  Previoulsy this would raise an :class:`AssertionError`.
+
+
+- `#11475 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11475>`_: :ref:`--import-mode=importlib <import-mode-importlib>` now tries to import modules using the standard import mechanism (but still without changing :py:data:`sys.path`), falling back to importing modules directly only if that fails.
+
+  This means that installed packages will be imported under their canonical name if possible first, for example ``app.core.models``, instead of having the module name always be derived from their path (for example ``.env310.lib.site_packages.app.core.models``).
+
+
+- `#11801 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11801>`_: Added the :func:`iter_parents() <_pytest.nodes.Node.iter_parents>` helper method on nodes.
+  It is similar to :func:`listchain <_pytest.nodes.Node.listchain>`, but goes from bottom to top, and returns an iterator, not a list.
+
+
+- `#11850 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11850>`_: Added support for :data:`sys.last_exc` for post-mortem debugging on Python>=3.12.
+
+
+- `#11962 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11962>`_: In case no other suitable candidates for configuration file are found, a ``pyproject.toml`` (even without a ``[tool.pytest.ini_options]`` table) will be considered as the configuration file and define the ``rootdir``.
+
+
+- `#11978 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11978>`_: Add ``--log-file-mode`` option to the logging plugin, enabling appending to log-files. This option accepts either ``"w"`` or ``"a"`` and defaults to ``"w"``.
+
+  Previously, the mode was hard-coded to be ``"w"`` which truncates the file before logging.
+
+
+- `#12047 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12047>`_: When multiple finalizers of a fixture raise an exception, now all exceptions are reported as an exception group.
+  Previously, only the first exception was reported.
+
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#11475 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11475>`_: Fixed regression where ``--importmode=importlib`` would import non-test modules more than once.
+
+
+- `#11904 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11904>`_: Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0.0 that would cause test collection to fail due to permission errors when using ``--pyargs``.
+
+  This change improves the collection tree for tests specified using ``--pyargs``, see :pull:`12043` for a comparison with pytest 8.0 and <8.
+
+
+- `#12011 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12011>`_: Fixed a regression in 8.0.1 whereby ``setup_module`` xunit-style fixtures are not executed when ``--doctest-modules`` is passed.
+
+
+- `#12014 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12014>`_: Fix the ``stacklevel`` used when warning about marks used on fixtures.
+
+
+- `#12039 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12039>`_: Fixed a regression in ``8.0.2`` where tests created using :fixture:`tmp_path` have been collected multiple times in CI under Windows.
+
+
+Improved Documentation
+----------------------
+
+- `#11790 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11790>`_: Documented the retention of temporary directories created using the ``tmp_path`` fixture in more detail.
+
+
+
+Trivial/Internal Changes
+------------------------
+
+- `#11785 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11785>`_: Some changes were made to private functions which may affect plugins which access them:
+
+  - ``FixtureManager._getautousenames()`` now takes a ``Node`` itself instead of the nodeid.
+  - ``FixtureManager.getfixturedefs()`` now takes the ``Node`` itself instead of the nodeid.
+  - The ``_pytest.nodes.iterparentnodeids()`` function is removed without replacement.
+    Prefer to traverse the node hierarchy itself instead.
+    If you really need to, copy the function from the previous pytest release.
+
+
+- `#12069 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12069>`_: Delayed the deprecation of the following features to ``9.0.0``:
+
+  * :ref:`node-ctor-fspath-deprecation`.
+  * :ref:`legacy-path-hooks-deprecated`.
+
+  It was discovered after ``8.1.0`` was released that the warnings about the impeding removal were not being displayed, so the team decided to revert the removal.
+
+  This is the reason for ``8.1.0`` being yanked.
+
+
+pytest 8.1.0 (YANKED)
+=====================
+
+
+.. note::
+
+       This release has been **yanked**: it broke some plugins without the proper warning period, due to
+       some warnings not showing up as expected.
+
+       See `#12069 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12069>`__.
+
+
+pytest 8.0.2 (2024-02-24)
+=========================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#11895 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11895>`_: Fix collection on Windows where initial paths contain the short version of a path (for example ``c:\PROGRA~1\tests``).
+
+
+- `#11953 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11953>`_: Fix an ``IndexError`` crash raising from ``getstatementrange_ast``.
+
+
+- `#12021 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12021>`_: Reverted a fix to `--maxfail` handling in pytest 8.0.0 because it caused a regression in pytest-xdist whereby session fixture teardowns may get executed multiple times when the max-fails is reached.
+
+
+pytest 8.0.1 (2024-02-16)
+=========================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#11875 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11875>`_: Correctly handle errors from :func:`getpass.getuser` in Python 3.13.
+
+
+- `#11879 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11879>`_: Fix an edge case where ``ExceptionInfo._stringify_exception`` could crash :func:`pytest.raises`.
+
+
+- `#11906 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11906>`_: Fix regression with :func:`pytest.warns` using custom warning subclasses which have more than one parameter in their `__init__`.
+
+
+- `#11907 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11907>`_: Fix a regression in pytest 8.0.0 whereby calling :func:`pytest.skip` and similar control-flow exceptions within a :func:`pytest.warns()` block would get suppressed instead of propagating.
+
+
+- `#11929 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11929>`_: Fix a regression in pytest 8.0.0 whereby autouse fixtures defined in a module get ignored by the doctests in the module.
+
+
+- `#11937 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11937>`_: Fix a regression in pytest 8.0.0 whereby items would be collected in reverse order in some circumstances.
+
+
+pytest 8.0.0 (2024-01-27)
+=========================
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#11842 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11842>`_: Properly escape the ``reason`` of a :ref:`skip <pytest.mark.skip ref>` mark when writing JUnit XML files.
+
+
+- `#11861 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11861>`_: Avoid microsecond exceeds ``1_000_000`` when using ``log-date-format`` with ``%f`` specifier, which might cause the test suite to crash.
+
+
+pytest 8.0.0rc2 (2024-01-17)
+============================
+
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+- `#11233 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11233>`_: Improvements to ``-r`` for xfailures and xpasses:
+
+  * Report tracebacks for xfailures when ``-rx`` is set.
+  * Report captured output for xpasses when ``-rX`` is set.
+  * For xpasses, add ``-`` in summary between test name and reason, to match how xfail is displayed.
+
+- `#11825 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11825>`_: The :hook:`pytest_plugin_registered` hook has a new ``plugin_name`` parameter containing the name by which ``plugin`` is registered.
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#11706 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11706>`_: Fix reporting of teardown errors in higher-scoped fixtures when using `--maxfail` or `--stepwise`.
+
+  NOTE: This change was reverted in pytest 8.0.2 to fix a `regression <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1024>`_ it caused in pytest-xdist.
+
+
+- `#11758 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11758>`_: Fixed ``IndexError: string index out of range`` crash in ``if highlighted[-1] == "\n" and source[-1] != "\n"``.
+  This bug was introduced in pytest 8.0.0rc1.
+
+
+- `#9765 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9765>`_, `#11816 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11816>`_: Fixed a frustrating bug that afflicted some users with the only error being ``assert mod not in mods``. The issue was caused by the fact that ``str(Path(mod))`` and ``mod.__file__`` don't necessarily produce the same string, and was being erroneously used interchangably in some places in the code.
+
+  This fix also broke the internal API of ``PytestPluginManager.consider_conftest`` by introducing a new parameter -- we mention this in case it is being used by external code, even if marked as *private*.

+  * pytest will not change :py:data:`sys.path` at all.
+  * Test module names do not need to be unique -- pytest will generate a unique name automatically based on the ``rootdir``.
+
+  Disadvantages:
+
+  * Test modules can't import each other.
+  * Testing utility modules in the tests directories (for example a ``tests.helpers`` module containing test-related functions/classes)
+    are not importable. The recommendation in this case it to place testing utility modules together with the application/library
+    code, for example ``app.testing.helpers``.
+
+    Important: by "test utility modules" we mean functions/classes which are imported by
+    other tests directly; this does not include fixtures, which should be placed in ``conftest.py`` files, along
+    with the test modules, and are discovered automatically by pytest.
+
+  It works like this:
+
+  1. Given a certain module path, for example ``tests/core/test_models.py``, derives a canonical name
+     like ``tests.core.test_models`` and tries to import it.
+
+     For non-test modules this will work if they are accessible via :py:data:`sys.path`, so
+     for example ``.env/lib/site-packages/app/core.py`` will be importable as ``app.core``.
+     This is happens when plugins import non-test modules (for example doctesting).
+
+     If this step succeeds, the module is returned.
+
+     For test modules, unless they are reachable from :py:data:`sys.path`, this step will fail.
+
+  2. If the previous step fails, we import the module directly using ``importlib`` facilities, which lets us import it without
+     changing :py:data:`sys.path`.
+
+     Because Python requires the module to also be available in :py:data:`sys.modules`, pytest derives a unique name for it based
+     on its relative location from the ``rootdir``, and adds the module to :py:data:`sys.modules`.
+
+     For example, ``tests/core/test_models.py`` will end up being imported as the module ``tests.core.test_models``.

-  on plain classes.  ``nose`` supports these methods also on plain
-  classes but pytest deliberately does not.  As nose and pytest already
-  both support ``setup_class, teardown_class, setup_method, teardown_method``
-  it doesn't seem useful to duplicate the unittest-API like nose does.
-  If you however rather think pytest should support the unittest-spelling on
-  plain classes please post to :issue:`377`.
-
-- nose imports test modules with the same import path (e.g.
-  ``tests.test_mode``) but different file system paths
-  (e.g. ``tests/test_mode.py`` and ``other/tests/test_mode.py``)
-  by extending sys.path/import semantics.   pytest does not do that.  Note that
-  `nose2 choose to avoid this sys.path/import hackery <https://nose2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/differences.html#test-discovery-and-loading>`_.
-
-  If you place a conftest.py file in the root directory of your project
-  (as determined by pytest) pytest will run tests "nose style" against
-  the code below that directory by adding it to your ``sys.path`` instead of
-  running against your installed code.
-
-  You may find yourself wanting to do this if you ran ``python setup.py install``
-  to set up your project, as opposed to ``python setup.py develop`` or any of
-  the package manager equivalents.  Installing with develop in a
-  virtual environment like tox is recommended over this pattern.
-
-- nose-style doctests are not collected and executed correctly,
-  also doctest fixtures don't work.
-
-- no nose-configuration is recognized.
