Yes, a release which supports python 3.5 would be nice. AFAIK we could just release 2.7.3 without any work so if someone wants to release that I think you should just do it. > There are a couple of issues/PRs that should go into 2.8, IMO: > > - Merge pytest-cache into core > (https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/pull/828); I think Ronny is working on > this; > - Release pytest-xdist 1.13, so we can merge "non-zero exit code if no tests > are collected" (https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/pull/817); I think > Ronny is about to release 1.13; > > Actually, merge all PRs that are pending would be a good target, as they all > seem like good additions to a new major release.

I think what we need is some code in setup.py which automatically fetches the required pluggy version from pypi and vendors it when making sdists and wheels. At least while pluggy versions are < 1.0. Once that's done we should be able to release 2.8 without any problems. > How should we proceed? Perhaps it would be good to set a ballpark date for > 2.8, say two/three weeks from now?

I'd say, anyone who'd like to see a release should just make it happen - everyone has the required permissions now. I'd love to see a release myself too but realistically am kept rather busy currently so it's not the highest on my todo list (and admittedly, git is still slowing me down for now so everything takes me longer currently :-/ I'll catch up eventually I'm sure).
