-This change detaches xfail tracebacks from `-rx`, and now we turn on xfail tracebacks with `--xfail-tb`. With this, the default `-rx`/ `-ra` behavior is identical to pre-8.0 with respect to xfail tracebacks. While this is a behavior change, it brings default behavior back to pre-8.0.0 behavior, which ultimately was considered the better course of action.

-pytest 8.2.0 (2024-04-27)
-=========================
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- `#12069 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12069>`_: A deprecation warning is now raised when implementations of one of the following hooks request a deprecated ``py.path.local`` parameter instead of the ``pathlib.Path`` parameter which replaced it:
-
-  - :hook:`pytest_ignore_collect` - the ``path`` parameter - use ``collection_path`` instead.
-  - :hook:`pytest_collect_file` - the ``path`` parameter - use ``file_path`` instead.
-  - :hook:`pytest_pycollect_makemodule` - the ``path`` parameter - use ``module_path`` instead.
-  - :hook:`pytest_report_header` - the ``startdir`` parameter - use ``start_path`` instead.
-  - :hook:`pytest_report_collectionfinish` - the ``startdir`` parameter - use ``start_path`` instead.
-
-  The replacement parameters are available since pytest 7.0.0.
-  The old parameters will be removed in pytest 9.0.0.
-
-  See :ref:`legacy-path-hooks-deprecated` for more details.
-
-
-
-Features
---------
-
-- `#11871 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11871>`_: Added support for reading command line arguments from a file using the prefix character ``@``, like e.g.: ``pytest @tests.txt``. The file must have one argument per line.
-
-  See :ref:`Read arguments from file <args-from-file>` for details.
-
-
-
-Improvements
-------------
-
-- `#11523 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11523>`_: :func:`pytest.importorskip` will now issue a warning if the module could be found, but raised :class:`ImportError` instead of :class:`ModuleNotFoundError`.
-
-  The warning can be suppressed by passing ``exc_type=ImportError`` to :func:`pytest.importorskip`.
-
-  See :ref:`import-or-skip-import-error` for details.
-
-
-- `#11728 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11728>`_: For ``unittest``-based tests, exceptions during class cleanup (as raised by functions registered with :meth:`TestCase.addClassCleanup <unittest.TestCase.addClassCleanup>`) are now reported instead of silently failing.
-
-
-- `#11777 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11777>`_: Text is no longer truncated in the ``short test summary info`` section when ``-vv`` is given.
-
-
-- `#12112 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12112>`_: Improved namespace packages detection when :confval:`consider_namespace_packages` is enabled, covering more situations (like editable installs).
-
-
-- `#9502 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9502>`_: Added :envvar:`PYTEST_VERSION` environment variable which is defined at the start of the pytest session and undefined afterwards. It contains the value of ``pytest.__version__``, and among other things can be used to easily check if code is running from within a pytest run.
-
-
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- `#12065 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12065>`_: Fixed a regression in pytest 8.0.0 where test classes containing ``setup_method`` and tests using ``@staticmethod`` or ``@classmethod`` would crash with ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setup_method'``.
-
-  Now the :attr:`request.instance <pytest.FixtureRequest.instance>` attribute of tests using ``@staticmethod`` and ``@classmethod`` is no longer ``None``, but a fresh instance of the class, like in non-static methods.
-  Previously it was ``None``, and all fixtures of such tests would share a single ``self``.
-
-
-- `#12135 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12135>`_: Fixed issue where fixtures adding their finalizer multiple times to fixtures they request would cause unreliable and non-intuitive teardown ordering in some instances.
-
-
-- `#12194 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12194>`_: Fixed a bug with ``--importmode=importlib`` and ``--doctest-modules`` where child modules did not appear as attributes in parent modules.
-
-
-- `#1489 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1489>`_: Fixed some instances where teardown of higher-scoped fixtures was not happening in the reverse order they were initialized in.
-
-
-
-Trivial/Internal Changes
-------------------------
-
-- `#12069 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12069>`_: ``pluggy>=1.5.0`` is now required.
-
-
-- `#12167 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/12167>`_: :ref:`cache <cache>`: create supporting files (``CACHEDIR.TAG``, ``.gitignore``, etc.) in a temporary directory to provide atomic semantics.
-
-
-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>`__.
-

-
-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
----------
-

-
-
-- `#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.
-

-=========================
-
-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.

-- `#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.

-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`.
-

-
-- `#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*.

-============================
-
-Breaking Changes
-----------------
-
-Old Deprecations Are Now Errors
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- `#7363 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7363>`_: **PytestRemovedIn8Warning deprecation warnings are now errors by default.**
-
-  Following our plan to remove deprecated features with as little disruption as
-  possible, all warnings of type ``PytestRemovedIn8Warning`` now generate errors
-  instead of warning messages by default.
-
-  **The affected features will be effectively removed in pytest 8.1**, so please consult the
-  :ref:`deprecations` section in the docs for directions on how to update existing code.
-
-  In the pytest ``8.0.X`` series, it is possible to change the errors back into warnings as a
-  stopgap measure by adding this to your ``pytest.ini`` file:
-
-  .. code-block:: ini
-
-      [pytest]
-      filterwarnings =
-          ignore::pytest.PytestRemovedIn8Warning
-
-  But this will stop working when pytest ``8.1`` is released.
-
-  **If you have concerns** about the removal of a specific feature, please add a
-  comment to :issue:`7363`.
-
-
-Version Compatibility
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- `#11151 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11151>`_: Dropped support for Python 3.7, which `reached end-of-life on 2023-06-27 <https://devguide.python.org/versions/>`__.
-
-
-- ``pluggy>=1.3.0`` is now required.
-
-
-Collection Changes
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In this version we've made several breaking changes to pytest's collection phase,
-particularly around how filesystem directories and Python packages are collected,
-fixing deficiencies and allowing for cleanups and improvements to pytest's internals.
-A deprecation period for these changes was not possible.
-
-
-- `#7777 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7777>`_: Files and directories are now collected in alphabetical order jointly, unless changed by a plugin.
-  Previously, files were collected before directories.
-  See below for an example.
-
-
-- `#8976 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/8976>`_: Running `pytest pkg/__init__.py` now collects the `pkg/__init__.py` file (module) only.
-  Previously, it collected the entire `pkg` package, including other test files in the directory, but excluding tests in the `__init__.py` file itself
-  (unless :confval:`python_files` was changed to allow `__init__.py` file).
-
-  To collect the entire package, specify just the directory: `pytest pkg`.
-
-
-- `#11137 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11137>`_: :class:`pytest.Package` is no longer a :class:`pytest.Module` or :class:`pytest.File`.
-
-  The ``Package`` collector node designates a Python package, that is, a directory with an `__init__.py` file.
-  Previously ``Package`` was a subtype of ``pytest.Module`` (which represents a single Python module),
-  the module being the `__init__.py` file.
-  This has been deemed a design mistake (see :issue:`11137` and :issue:`7777` for details).
-
-  The ``path`` property of ``Package`` nodes now points to the package directory instead of the ``__init__.py`` file.
-
-  Note that a ``Module`` node for ``__init__.py`` (which is not a ``Package``) may still exist,
-  if it is picked up during collection (e.g. if you configured :confval:`python_files` to include ``__init__.py`` files).
-
-
-- `#7777 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7777>`_: Added a new :class:`pytest.Directory` base collection node, which all collector nodes for filesystem directories are expected to subclass.
-  This is analogous to the existing :class:`pytest.File` for file nodes.
-
-  Changed :class:`pytest.Package` to be a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
-  A ``Package`` represents a filesystem directory which is a Python package,
-  i.e. contains an ``__init__.py`` file.
-
-  :class:`pytest.Package` now only collects files in its own directory; previously it collected recursively.
-  Sub-directories are collected as their own collector nodes, which then collect themselves, thus creating a collection tree which mirrors the filesystem hierarchy.
-
-  Added a new :class:`pytest.Dir` concrete collection node, a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
-  This node represents a filesystem directory, which is not a :class:`pytest.Package`,
-  that is, does not contain an ``__init__.py`` file.
-  Similarly to ``Package``, it only collects the files in its own directory.
-
-  :class:`pytest.Session` now only collects the initial arguments, without recursing into directories.
-  This work is now done by the :func:`recursive expansion process <pytest.Collector.collect>` of directory collector nodes.
-
-  :attr:`session.name <pytest.Session.name>` is now ``""``; previously it was the rootdir directory name.
-  This matches :attr:`session.nodeid <_pytest.nodes.Node.nodeid>` which has always been `""`.
-
-  The collection tree now contains directories/packages up to the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`,
-  for initial arguments that are found within the rootdir.
-  For files outside the rootdir, only the immediate directory/package is collected --
-  note however that collecting from outside the rootdir is discouraged.
-
-  As an example, given the following filesystem tree::
-
-      myroot/
-          pytest.ini
-          top/
-          ├── aaa
-          │   └── test_aaa.py
-          ├── test_a.py
-          ├── test_b
-          │   ├── __init__.py
-          │   └── test_b.py
-          ├── test_c.py
-          └── zzz
-              ├── __init__.py
-              └── test_zzz.py
-
-  the collection tree, as shown by `pytest --collect-only top/` but with the otherwise-hidden :class:`~pytest.Session` node added for clarity,
-  is now the following::
-
-      <Session>
-        <Dir myroot>
-          <Dir top>
-            <Dir aaa>
-              <Module test_aaa.py>
-                <Function test_it>
-            <Module test_a.py>
-              <Function test_it>
-            <Package test_b>
-              <Module test_b.py>
-                <Function test_it>
-            <Module test_c.py>
-              <Function test_it>
-            <Package zzz>
-              <Module test_zzz.py>
-                <Function test_it>
-
-  Previously, it was::
-
-      <Session>
-        <Module top/test_a.py>
-          <Function test_it>
-        <Module top/test_c.py>
-          <Function test_it>
-        <Module top/aaa/test_aaa.py>
-          <Function test_it>
-        <Package test_b>
-          <Module test_b.py>
-            <Function test_it>
-        <Package zzz>
-          <Module test_zzz.py>
-            <Function test_it>
-
-  Code/plugins which rely on a specific shape of the collection tree might need to update.
-
-
-- `#11676 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11676>`_: The classes :class:`~_pytest.nodes.Node`, :class:`~pytest.Collector`, :class:`~pytest.Item`, :class:`~pytest.File`, :class:`~_pytest.nodes.FSCollector` are now marked abstract (see :mod:`abc`).
-
-  We do not expect this change to affect users and plugin authors, it will only cause errors when the code is already wrong or problematic.
-
-
-Other breaking changes
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-These are breaking changes where deprecation was not possible.
-
-
-- `#11282 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11282>`_: Sanitized the handling of the ``default`` parameter when defining configuration options.
-
-  Previously if ``default`` was not supplied for :meth:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>` and the configuration option value was not defined in a test session, then calls to :func:`config.getini <pytest.Config.getini>` returned an *empty list* or an *empty string* depending on whether ``type`` was supplied or not respectively, which is clearly incorrect. Also, ``None`` was not honored even if ``default=None`` was used explicitly while defining the option.
-
-  Now the behavior of :meth:`parser.addini <pytest.Parser.addini>` is as follows:
-
-  * If ``default`` is NOT passed but ``type`` is provided, then a type-specific default will be returned. For example ``type=bool`` will return ``False``, ``type=str`` will return ``""``, etc.
-  * If ``default=None`` is passed and the option is not defined in a test session, then ``None`` will be returned, regardless of the ``type``.
-  * If neither ``default`` nor ``type`` are provided, assume ``type=str`` and return ``""`` as default (this is as per previous behavior).
-
-  The team decided to not introduce a deprecation period for this change, as doing so would be complicated both in terms of communicating this to the community as well as implementing it, and also because the team believes this change should not break existing plugins except in rare cases.
-
-
-- `#11667 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11667>`_: pytest's ``setup.py`` file is removed.
-  If you relied on this file, e.g. to install pytest using ``setup.py install``,
-  please see `Why you shouldn't invoke setup.py directly <https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html#summary>`_ for alternatives.
-
-
-- `#9288 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9288>`_: :func:`~pytest.warns` now re-emits unmatched warnings when the context
-  closes -- previously it would consume all warnings, hiding those that were not
-  matched by the function.
-
-  While this is a new feature, we announce it as a breaking change
-  because many test suites are configured to error-out on warnings, and will
-  therefore fail on the newly-re-emitted warnings.
-
-
-- The internal ``FixtureManager.getfixtureclosure`` method has changed. Plugins which use this method or
-  which subclass ``FixtureManager`` and overwrite that method will need to adapt to the change.
-
-
-
-Deprecations
-------------
-
-- `#10465 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10465>`_: Test functions returning a value other than ``None`` will now issue a :class:`pytest.PytestWarning` instead of ``pytest.PytestRemovedIn8Warning``, meaning this will stay a warning instead of becoming an error in the future.
-
-
-- `#3664 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/3664>`_: Applying a mark to a fixture function now issues a warning: marks in fixtures never had any effect, but it is a common user error to apply a mark to a fixture (for example ``usefixtures``) and expect it to work.
-
-  This will become an error in pytest 9.0.
-
-
-
-Features and Improvements
--------------------------
-
-Improved Diffs
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-These changes improve the diffs that pytest prints when an assertion fails.
-Note that syntax highlighting requires the ``pygments`` package.
-
-
-- `#11520 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11520>`_: The very verbose (``-vv``) diff output is now colored as a diff instead of a big chunk of red.
-
-  Python code in error reports is now syntax-highlighted as Python.
-
-  The sections in the error reports are now better separated.
-
-
-- `#1531 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1531>`_: The very verbose diff (``-vv``) for every standard library container type is improved. The indentation is now consistent and the markers are on their own separate lines, which should reduce the diffs shown to users.
-
-  Previously, the standard Python pretty printer was used to generate the output, which puts opening and closing
-  markers on the same line as the first/last entry, in addition to not having consistent indentation.
-
-
-- `#10617 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10617>`_: Added more comprehensive set assertion rewrites for comparisons other than equality ``==``, with
-  the following operations now providing better failure messages: ``!=``, ``<=``, ``>=``, ``<``, and ``>``.
-
-
-Separate Control For Assertion Verbosity
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- `#11387 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11387>`_: Added the new :confval:`verbosity_assertions` configuration option for fine-grained control of failed assertions verbosity.
-
-  If you've ever wished that pytest always show you full diffs, but without making everything else verbose, this is for you.
-
-  See :ref:`Fine-grained verbosity <pytest.fine_grained_verbosity>` for more details.
-
-  For plugin authors, :attr:`config.get_verbosity <pytest.Config.get_verbosity>` can be used to retrieve the verbosity level for a specific verbosity type.
-
-
-Additional Support For Exception Groups and ``__notes__``
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-These changes improve pytest's support for exception groups.
-
-
-- `#10441 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10441>`_: Added :func:`ExceptionInfo.group_contains() <pytest.ExceptionInfo.group_contains>`, an assertion helper that tests if an :class:`ExceptionGroup` contains a matching exception.
-
-  See :ref:`assert-matching-exception-groups` for an example.
-
-
-- `#11227 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11227>`_: Allow :func:`pytest.raises` ``match`` argument to match against `PEP-678 <https://peps.python.org/pep-0678/>` ``__notes__``.
-
-
-Custom Directory collectors
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- `#7777 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7777>`_: Added a new hook :hook:`pytest_collect_directory`,
-  which is called by filesystem-traversing collector nodes,
-  such as :class:`pytest.Session`, :class:`pytest.Dir` and :class:`pytest.Package`,
-  to create a collector node for a sub-directory.
-  It is expected to return a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
-  This hook allows plugins to :ref:`customize the collection of directories <custom directory collectors>`.
-
-
-"New-style" Hook Wrappers
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- `#11122 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11122>`_: pytest now uses "new-style" hook wrappers internally, available since pluggy 1.2.0.
-  See `pluggy's 1.2.0 changelog <https://pluggy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#pluggy-1-2-0-2023-06-21>`_ and the :ref:`updated docs <hookwrapper>` for details.
-
-  Plugins which want to use new-style wrappers can do so if they require ``pytest>=8``.
-
-
-Other Improvements
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-- `#11216 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11216>`_: If a test is skipped from inside an :ref:`xunit setup fixture <classic xunit>`, the test summary now shows the test location instead of the fixture location.
-
-
-- `#11314 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11314>`_: Logging to a file using the ``--log-file`` option will use ``--log-level``, ``--log-format`` and ``--log-date-format`` as fallback
-  if ``--log-file-level``, ``--log-file-format`` and ``--log-file-date-format`` are not provided respectively.
-
-
-- `#11610 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11610>`_: Added the :func:`LogCaptureFixture.filtering() <pytest.LogCaptureFixture.filtering>` context manager which
-  adds a given :class:`logging.Filter` object to the :fixture:`caplog` fixture.
-
-
-- `#11447 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11447>`_: :func:`pytest.deprecated_call` now also considers warnings of type :class:`FutureWarning`.
-
-
-- `#11600 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11600>`_: Improved the documentation and type signature for :func:`pytest.mark.xfail <pytest.mark.xfail>`'s ``condition`` param to use ``False`` as the default value.
-
-
-- `#7469 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7469>`_: :class:`~pytest.FixtureDef` is now exported as ``pytest.FixtureDef`` for typing purposes.
-
-
-- `#11353 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11353>`_: Added typing to :class:`~pytest.PytestPluginManager`.
-
-
-Bug Fixes
----------
-
-- `#10701 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/10701>`_: :meth:`pytest.WarningsRecorder.pop` will return the most-closely-matched warning in the list,
-  rather than the first warning which is an instance of the requested type.
-
-
-- `#11255 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11255>`_: Fixed crash on `parametrize(..., scope="package")` without a package present.
-
-
-- `#11277 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11277>`_: Fixed a bug that when there are multiple fixtures for an indirect parameter,
-  the scope of the highest-scope fixture is picked for the parameter set, instead of that of the one with the narrowest scope.
-
-
-- `#11456 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11456>`_: Parametrized tests now *really do* ensure that the ids given to each input are unique - for
-  example, ``a, a, a0`` now results in ``a1, a2, a0`` instead of the previous (buggy) ``a0, a1, a0``.
-  This necessarily means changing nodeids where these were previously colliding, and for
-  readability adds an underscore when non-unique ids end in a number.
-
-
-- `#11563 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11563>`_: Fixed a crash when using an empty string for the same parametrized value more than once.
-
-
-- `#11712 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11712>`_: Fixed handling ``NO_COLOR`` and ``FORCE_COLOR`` to ignore an empty value.
-
-
-- `#9036 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/9036>`_: ``pytest.warns`` and similar functions now capture warnings when an exception is raised inside a ``with`` block.
-
-
-
-Improved Documentation
-----------------------
-
-- `#11011 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11011>`_: Added a warning about modifying the root logger during tests when using ``caplog``.
-
-
-- `#11065 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11065>`_: Use ``pytestconfig`` instead of ``request.config`` in cache example to be consistent with the API documentation.
-
-
-Trivial/Internal Changes
-------------------------
-
-- `#11208 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11208>`_: The (internal) ``FixtureDef.cached_result`` type has changed.
-  Now the third item ``cached_result[2]``, when set, is an exception instance instead of an exception triplet.
-
-
-- `#11218 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11218>`_: (This entry is meant to assist plugins which access private pytest internals to instantiate ``FixtureRequest`` objects.)
-
-  :class:`~pytest.FixtureRequest` is now an abstract class which can't be instantiated directly.
-  A new concrete ``TopRequest`` subclass of ``FixtureRequest`` has been added for the ``request`` fixture in test functions,
-  as counterpart to the existing ``SubRequest`` subclass for the ``request`` fixture in fixture functions.
-
-
-- `#11315 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11315>`_: The :fixture:`pytester` fixture now uses the :fixture:`monkeypatch` fixture to manage the current working directory.
-  If you use ``pytester`` in combination with :func:`monkeypatch.undo() <pytest.MonkeyPatch.undo>`, the CWD might get restored.
-  Use :func:`monkeypatch.context() <pytest.MonkeyPatch.context>` instead.
-
-
-- `#11333 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11333>`_: Corrected the spelling of ``Config.ArgsSource.INVOCATION_DIR``.
-  The previous spelling ``INCOVATION_DIR`` remains as an alias.
-
-
-- `#11638 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11638>`_: Fixed the selftests to pass correctly if ``FORCE_COLOR``, ``NO_COLOR`` or ``PY_COLORS`` is set in the calling environment.

-
-Improved Documentation
-----------------------
-
-- `#11091 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/11091>`_: Updated documentation to refer to hyphenated options: replaced ``--junitxml`` with ``--junit-xml`` and ``--collectonly`` with ``--collect-only``.

-``pytest.importorskip`` default behavior regarding :class:`ImportError`
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Support for tests written for nose
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-.. deprecated:: 8.2
+.. deprecated:: 7.2
 
-Traditionally :func:`pytest.importorskip` will capture :class:`ImportError`, with the original intent being to skip
-tests where a dependent module is not installed, for example testing with different dependencies.
+Support for running tests written for `nose <https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ is now deprecated.
 
-However some packages might be installed in the system, but are not importable due to
-some other issue, for example, a compilation error or a broken installation. In those cases :func:`pytest.importorskip`
-would still silently skip the test, but more often than not users would like to see the unexpected
-error so the underlying issue can be fixed.
+``nose`` has been in maintenance mode-only for years, and maintaining the plugin is not trivial as it spills
+over the code base (see :issue:`9886` for more details).
 
-In ``8.2`` the ``exc_type`` parameter has been added, giving users the ability of passing :class:`ModuleNotFoundError`
-to skip tests only if the module cannot really be found, and not because of some other error.
+setup/teardown
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-Catching only :class:`ModuleNotFoundError` by default (and letting other errors propagate) would be the best solution,
-however for backward compatibility, pytest will keep the existing behavior but raise an warning if:
+One thing that might catch users by surprise is that plain ``setup`` and ``teardown`` methods are not pytest native,
+they are in fact part of the ``nose`` support.
 
-1. The captured exception is of type :class:`ImportError`, and:
-2. The user does not pass ``exc_type`` explicitly.
 
-If the import attempt raises :class:`ModuleNotFoundError` (the usual case), then the module is skipped and no
-warning is emitted.
+.. code-block:: python
 
-This way, the usual cases will keep working the same way, while unexpected errors will now issue a warning, with
-users being able to supress the warning by passing ``exc_type=ImportError`` explicitly.
+    class Test:
+        def setup(self):
+            self.resource = make_resource()
 
-In ``9.0``, the warning will turn into an error, and in ``9.1`` :func:`pytest.importorskip` will only capture
-:class:`ModuleNotFoundError` by default and no warnings will be issued anymore -- but users can still capture
-:class:`ImportError` by passing it to ``exc_type``.

+            self.resource.close()
+
+        def test_foo(self):
+            ...
+
+        def test_bar(self):
+            ...
+
+
+
+Native pytest support uses ``setup_method`` and ``teardown_method`` (see :ref:`xunit-method-setup`), so the above should be changed to:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class Test:
+        def setup_method(self):
+            self.resource = make_resource()

+        def teardown_method(self):

+            ...
+
+        def test_bar(self):

-
-Support for running tests written for `nose <https://nose.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__ is now deprecated.

-over the code base (see :issue:`9886` for more details).
-
-setup/teardown

-
-One thing that might catch users by surprise is that plain ``setup`` and ``teardown`` methods are not pytest native,
-they are in fact part of the ``nose`` support.
-
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    class Test:
-        def setup(self):
-            self.resource = make_resource()

-
-        def test_foo(self): ...
-
-        def test_bar(self): ...
-
-
-
-Native pytest support uses ``setup_method`` and ``teardown_method`` (see :ref:`xunit-method-setup`), so the above should be changed to:

-Collection changes in pytest 8
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Added a new :class:`pytest.Directory` base collection node, which all collector nodes for filesystem directories are expected to subclass.
-This is analogous to the existing :class:`pytest.File` for file nodes.
-
-Changed :class:`pytest.Package` to be a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
-A ``Package`` represents a filesystem directory which is a Python package,
-i.e. contains an ``__init__.py`` file.
-
-:class:`pytest.Package` now only collects files in its own directory; previously it collected recursively.
-Sub-directories are collected as sub-collector nodes, thus creating a collection tree which mirrors the filesystem hierarchy.
-
-:attr:`session.name <pytest.Session.name>` is now ``""``; previously it was the rootdir directory name.
-This matches :attr:`session.nodeid <_pytest.nodes.Node.nodeid>` which has always been `""`.
-
-Added a new :class:`pytest.Dir` concrete collection node, a subclass of :class:`pytest.Directory`.
-This node represents a filesystem directory, which is not a :class:`pytest.Package`,
-i.e. does not contain an ``__init__.py`` file.
-Similarly to ``Package``, it only collects the files in its own directory,
-while collecting sub-directories as sub-collector nodes.
-
-Files and directories are now collected in alphabetical order jointly, unless changed by a plugin.
-Previously, files were collected before directories.
-
-The collection tree now contains directories/packages up to the :ref:`rootdir <rootdir>`,
-for initial arguments that are found within the rootdir.
-For files outside the rootdir, only the immediate directory/package is collected --
-note however that collecting from outside the rootdir is discouraged.
-
-As an example, given the following filesystem tree::
-
-    myroot/
-        pytest.ini
-        top/
-        ├── aaa
-        │   └── test_aaa.py

-        └── zzz
-            ├── __init__.py
-            └── test_zzz.py
-
-the collection tree, as shown by `pytest --collect-only top/` but with the otherwise-hidden :class:`~pytest.Session` node added for clarity,
-is now the following::
-
-    <Session>
-      <Dir myroot>
-        <Dir top>
-          <Dir aaa>
-            <Module test_aaa.py>

-
-By default, pytest collects directories using :class:`pytest.Package`, for directories with ``__init__.py`` files,
-and :class:`pytest.Dir` for other directories.

-Suppose you want to customize how collection is done on a per-directory basis.
-Here is an example ``conftest.py`` plugin that allows directories to contain a ``manifest.json`` file,
-which defines how the collection should be done for the directory.
-In this example, only a simple list of files is supported,
-however you can imagine adding other keys, such as exclusions and globs.

 Rerunning any failed tests can mitigate the negative effects of flaky tests by giving them additional chances to pass, so that the overall build does not fail. Several pytest plugins support this:
