-tox 1.4: the virtualenv-based test run automatizer
-=============================================================================
-
-I am happy to announce tox 1.4 which brings:
-
-- improvements with configuration file syntax, now allowing re-using
- selected settings across config file sections. see http://testrun.org/tox/latest/config.html#substitution-for-values-from-other-sections
-
-- terminal reporting was simplified and streamlined. Now with
- verbosity==0 (the default), less information will be shown
- and you can use one or multiple "-v" options to increase verbosity.
-
-- internal re-organisation so that the separately released "detox"
- tool can reuse tox code to implement a fully distributed tox run.
-
-More documentation:

-Installation:
-
- pip install -U tox

-What is tox?
-----------------
-
-tox standardizes and automates tedious test activities driven from a
-simple ``tox.ini`` file, including:
-
-* creation and management of different virtualenv environments
- with different Python interpreters
-* packaging and installing your package into each of them
-* running your test tool of choice, be it nose, py.test or unittest2 or other tools such as "sphinx" doc checks
-* testing dev packages against each other without needing to upload to PyPI
-
-best,
-Holger Krekel

-1.4
------------------
-
-- fix issue26 - no warnings on absolute or relative specified paths for commands
-- fix issue33 - commentchars are ignored in key-value settings allowing
- for specifying commands like: python -c "import sys ; print sys"
- which would formerly raise irritating errors because the ";"
- was considered a comment
-- tweak and improve reporting
-- refactor reporting and virtualenv manipulation
- to be more accessible from 3rd party tools
-- support value substitution from other sections
- with the {[section]key} syntax
-- fix issue29 - correctly point to pytest explanation
- for importing modules fully qualified
-- fix issue32 - use --system-site-packages and don't pass --no-site-packages
-- add python3.3 to the default env list, so early adopters can test
-- drop python2.4 support (you can still have your tests run on
- python-2.4, just tox itself requires 2.5 or higher.
