Old checklist (for posterity)

• --setup-show,--setup-only, --setup-plan options
• reporting hooks for fixture setup/teardown (Steffen, Danielle)
• new main entry point pytest (and py.test)
• remove py.test-X* entrypoints
• display pytest warnings by default
• remove all deprecated command line options for 3.0 (Farmer)
• merged fixtures becomes a doc draft (Raphael, Holger)
• introduce deprecation docs based on lightning talk (Oliver)
• new option --override-ini|-o ININAME=INIVALUE to overrides ini values from the command line so that one can do e.g. -o xfail_strict=True. We don't change the default (Omar, Ted, Daniel)
• issue deprecation warning for yielding test functions (bruno)
• issue deprecation warning pytest_funcarg_ fixtures (bruno) (#1684)
• remove reinterpret assert (Floris)
• Issues and PRs for the 3.0 milestone: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/milestone/2 (42 currently!)

Posptoned to 3.1

• doc restructuring
• fixture conftest sharing / fixture namespace control, draft/suggestion document
• invocation-scope: e.g. monkeypatch and mocker would be useable from any scope. Pulled back right before 3.0 due to introducing some subtle regressions.
