Hello all,

I'm exhausted to be able to announce that mock 0.8 has been released.

0.8 is a big release with many new features, general improvements and 
bugfixes.

You can download mock 0.8.0 final from the PyPI page or install it with:

     pip install -U mock

mock is a library for testing in Python. It allows you to replace parts 
of your system under test with mock objects.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/changelog.html#version-0-8-0

The only changes in mock 0.8.0 final since 0.8rc2 are:

* Improved repr of `sentinel` objects
* `ANY` can be used for comparisons against call objects
* The return value of  `MagicMock.__iter__` can be set to any iterable 
and isn't required to be an iterator

A longer version of this announcement, including the full changelog 
since mock 0.7 and a couple of short examples of the most important 
changes, can be found on my blog:
