  #65 by @bluetech.

Dropped support for pytest 2. Issue #66.

• Fixed issue with pytest-xdist and python 3.5: pathlib objects were not properly handled by other stdlib modules in this python version. Fixed #59
• Changed the layout

• pandas is now only imported when used, to speed up boot time. Fixes #49

• Fixed issue with latest pytest+pytest-xdist versions: pytest_harvest_xdist_worker_dump hook is now called correctly. Fixes #48

See documentation page for details.

• This is a technical release to validate that migration to Github Actions worked.

• get_session_synthesis_dct now properly handles test ids where :: is present in the id. This fix propagates to all [module/session]_results_[dct/df] fixtures, too. Fixes #45

See documentation page for details.

• On pytest < 5.3, lazy_value parameters from pytest-cases were wrongly inserted in the module_results_df as integer instead of objects. Fixed #43 thanks to new pytest-cases 2.3.0.

See documentation page for details.

• Fixed issue with doctests. PR #41 by @larsoner

See documentation page for details.

• Fixed issue sometimes happening when xdist is not installed. Fixed #40

See documentation page for details.

• packaging improvements: set the "universal wheel" flag to 1, and cleaned up the setup.py. In particular removed dependency to six for setup and added py.typed file, as well as set the zip_safe flag to False. Removed tests folder from package. Fixes #38

See documentation page for details.

When pytest-xdist is used to distribute tests, worker node results are automatically stored in a file at the end of their respective pytest session using pickle, in a temporary .xdist_harvested/ folder. These results are automatically retrived and consolidated when any of the get_[module/session]_results_[dct/df] method is called from the master node. Finally, the temporary folder is deleted at the end of master node session. Fixes #36

New function get_fixture_store(session) to replace FIXTURE_STORE. It is robust to xdist distribution, hence preferred over direct use of FIXTURE_STORE.
