pytest-2.3.1: fix regression with factory functions
===========================================================================

pytest-2.3.1 is a quick follow-up release:

- fix issue202 - regression with fixture functions/funcarg factories:  
  using "self" is now safe again and works as in 2.2.4.  Thanks 
  to Eduard Schettino for the quick bug report.

- disable pexpect pytest self tests on Freebsd - thanks Koob for the 
  quick reporting

- fix/improve interactive docs with --markers

See 

     http://pytest.org/

for general information.  To install or upgrade pytest:

    pip install -U pytest # or
    easy_install -U pytest

best,
holger krekel


Changes between 2.3.0 and 2.3.1
-----------------------------------

- fix issue202 - fix regression: using "self" from fixture functions now
  works as expected (it's the same "self" instance that a test method
  which uses the fixture sees)

- skip pexpect using tests (test_pdb.py mostly) on freebsd* systems
  due to pexpect not supporting it properly (hanging)

- link to web pages from --markers output which provides help for
  pytest.mark.* usage.
