Changes
~~~~~~~

* ``TestCase`` now uses super to call base ``unittest.TestCase`` constructor,
  ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. (Tim Cole, #771508)

* If, when calling ``useFixture`` an error occurs during fixture set up, we
  still attempt to gather details from the fixture. (Gavin Panella)

Improvements
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Additional compat helper for ``BytesIO`` for libraries that build on
  testtools and are working on Python 3 porting. (Robert Collins)

* Corrected documentation for ``MatchesStructure`` in the test authors
  document. (Jonathan Lange)

* ``LessThan`` error message now says something that is logically correct.
  (Gavin Panella, #762008)

* Multiple details from a single fixture are now kept separate, rather than
  being mooshed together. (Gavin Panella, #788182)

* Python 3 support now back in action. (Martin [gz], #688729)

* ``try_import`` and ``try_imports`` have a callback that is called whenever
  they fail to import a module. (Martin Pool)
