+- `#7536 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7536>`_: The internal ``junitxml`` plugin has rewritten to use ``xml.etree.ElementTree``.
+  The order of attributes in XML elements might differ. Some unneeded escaping is
+  no longer performed.
+
+
+- `#7587 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7587>`_: The dependency on the ``more-itertools`` package has been removed.
+
+
+- `#7631 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7631>`_: The result type of :meth:`capfd.readouterr() <_pytest.capture.CaptureFixture.readouterr>` (and similar) is no longer a namedtuple,
+  but should behave like one in all respects. This was done for technical reasons.
+
+
+- `#7671 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7671>`_: When collecting tests, pytest finds test classes and functions by examining the
+  attributes of python objects (modules, classes and instances). To speed up this
+  process, pytest now ignores builtin attributes (like ``__class__``,
+  ``__delattr__`` and ``__new__``) without consulting the :confval:`python_classes` and
+  :confval:`python_functions` configuration options and without passing them to plugins
+  using the :func:`pytest_pycollect_makeitem <_pytest.hookspec.pytest_pycollect_makeitem>` hook.

+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#6334 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/6334>`_: Fix summary entries appearing twice when ``f/F`` and ``s/S`` report chars were used at the same time in the ``-r`` command-line option (for example ``-rFf``).
+
+  The upper case variants were never documented and the preferred form should be the lower case.
+
+
+- `#7310 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/7310>`_: Fix ``UnboundLocalError: local variable 'letter' referenced before
+  assignment`` in ``_pytest.terminal.pytest_report_teststatus()``
+  when plugins return report objects in an unconventional state.
+
+  This was making ``pytest_report_teststatus()`` skip
+  entering if-block branches that declare the ``letter`` variable.
+
+  The fix was to set the initial value of the ``letter`` before
+  the if-block cascade so that it always has a value.

+--------
+
+- `#6870 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/6870>`_: New ``Config.invocation_args`` attribute containing the unchanged arguments passed to ``pytest.main()``.
+
+  Remark: while this is technically a new feature and according to our `policy <https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/py27-py34-deprecation.html#what-goes-into-4-6-x-releases>`_ it should not have been backported, we have opened an exception in this particular case because it fixes a serious interaction with ``pytest-xdist``, so it can also be considered a bugfix.
+
