against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms.
This release is drop-in compatible to 2.5.2 and 2.6.X.
See below for the changes and see docs at:</p>

<h1>Changes 2.6.3<a class="headerlink" href="#changes-2-6-3" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<ul class="simple">
<li>fix issue575: xunit-xml was reporting collection errors as failures
instead of errors, thanks Oleg Sinyavskiy.</li>
<li>fix issue582: fix setuptools example, thanks Laszlo Papp and Ronny
Pfannschmidt.</li>
<li>Fix infinite recursion bug when pickling capture.EncodedFile, thanks
Uwe Schmitt.</li>
<li>fix issue589: fix bad interaction with numpy and others when showing
exceptions.  Check for precise &#8220;maximum recursion depth exceed&#8221; exception
instead of presuming any RuntimeError is that one (implemented in py
dep).  Thanks Charles Cloud for analysing the issue.</li>
<li>fix conftest related fixture visibility issue: when running with a
CWD outside a test package pytest would get fixture discovery wrong.
Thanks to Wolfgang Schnerring for figuring out a reproducable example.</li>
<li>Introduce pytest_enter_pdb hook (needed e.g. by pytest_timeout to cancel the
timeout when interactively entering pdb).  Thanks Wolfgang Schnerring.</li>
<li>check xfail/skip also with non-python function test items. Thanks
Floris Bruynooghe.</li>
