pytest-2.8.7

This is a hotfix release to solve a regression in the builtin monkeypatch plugin that got introduced in 2.8.6.

pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1100 tests against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms. This release is supposed to be drop-in compatible to 2.8.5.

See below for the changes and see docs at:

As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via:

pip install -U pytest

Happy testing, The py.test Development Team
