Hi all,

also released pytest-xdist-1.11 with some little improvements 
and speedups regarding overheads for distributing tests
(maybe 10%, not too much).

Install it with:

    pip install -U pytest-xdist

and checkout the pypi page:

    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-xdist

best,
holger

1.10
-------------------------

- add glob support for rsyncignores, add command line option to pass
  additional rsyncignores. Thanks Anatoly Bubenkov.

- fix pytest issue382 - produce "pytest_runtest_logstart" event again
  in master. Thanks Aron Curzon.

- fix pytest issue419 by sending/receiving indices into the test
  collection instead of node ids (which are not neccessarily unique
  for functions parametrized with duplicate values)

- send multiple "to test" indices in one network message to a slave
  and improve heuristics for sending chunks where the chunksize
  depends on the number of remaining tests rather than fixed numbers.
  This reduces the number of master -> node messages (but not the
  reverse direction)
