<p>pytest-2.3.1 is a quick follow-up release:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>fix issue202 - regression with fixture functions/funcarg factories:
using &#8220;self&#8221; is now safe again and works as in 2.2.4.  Thanks
to Eduard Schettino for the quick bug report.</li>
<li>disable pexpect pytest self tests on Freebsd - thanks Koob for the
quick reporting</li>
<li>fix/improve interactive docs with &#8211;markers</li>

<h2>Changes between 2.3.0 and 2.3.1<a class="headerlink" href="#changes-between-2-3-0-and-2-3-1" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li>fix issue202 - fix regression: using &#8220;self&#8221; from fixture functions now
works as expected (it&#8217;s the same &#8220;self&#8221; instance that a test method
which uses the fixture sees)</li>
<li>skip pexpect using tests (test_pdb.py mostly) on freebsd* systems
due to pexpect not supporting it properly (hanging)</li>
<li>link to web pages from &#8211;markers output which provides help for
pytest.mark.* usage.</li>
