[Python-modules-team] Bug#608677: python-nose: "Fresh" upstream release available -- 0.11.3 (Mar 2010)

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-nose
Version: 0.11.1-1
Severity: normal


normal severity since 0.11.3 brings quite a bit of fixes on top of 0.11.1 (see
below).  Moreover upstream already tagged 1.0.0 release which brings
compatibility with python3 (would help close 604038), so may be you would
want to go forward to that release right away.

is python-nose already under maintenance of python-modules team? (I see quite a
few uploads from the team)

Here is relevant upstream changelog:

1.0

- Made nose compatible with python 3. **Huge** thanks to Alex "foogod"
  Stewart!

0.11.4

- Made nose compatible with Python 2.7.

0.11.3

- Fixed default plugin manager's use of plugin overriding. Thanks to
  rob.daylife for the bug report and patch. (#323).

0.11.2

- Changed plugin loading so that external plugins loaded via extension
  points can override builtin plugins with the same name.
- Updated multiprocess plugin and nose's packaging to allow multiprocess
  plugin to work on Windows (#265).
- Fixed bug in xunit plugin's interaction with suites and errors in
  module-level setup. Thanks to Mark McCague for the bug report (#279).
- Fixed bug in nose.loader.TestLoader that allowed Test classes that raise
  exceptions in __init__ to crash the test run (#269).
- Fixed bugs in nose's test suite that caused spurious failures on Windows.
- Fixed bug in twisted tools: delayed calls were not shut down on
  reactor stop. Thanks to abbeyj for the patch (#278).

  emitting unwanted messages when testing Google App Engine websites.
- Fixed bug in test names output by xunit plugin. Thanks to Philip
  Jenvey for the bug report and patch (#280).
- Fixed bug in profile plugin that caused stats to fail to print under Python
  2.5 and later. Thanks to djs at n-cube dot org for the bug report (#285).
- Improved logcapture filtering, with default setting to filter out log
  messages from nose itself. Thanks to gfxmonk for the patch (#277).
- The xunit plugin now tags skipped tests with a <skipped> testcase tag, and
  prevents the XML from containing invalid control characters.
- Updated nose to be compatible with python 2.7 (#305).

  an egg archive (#288).
