2.8.2 release

[The-Compiler]

Wheee, my first release! 🎉

Please don't merge this, just comment instead - I'd like to merge it myself when I have time to do the rest of the release (probably tomorrow)

2.8.2 is uploaded to devpi: devpi use https://devpi.net/The-Compiler/dev && devpi test pytest==2.8.2

Unfortunately I ran into a lot of issues during testing (see devpi):

• plugins_index.py: Wrong version number? (plugins_index.py: Wrong version number? #1118)
• Release annoucements missing for 2.7.2/2.8.0/2.8.1(Release annoucements missing for 2.7.2/2.8.0/2.8.1 #1117)
• test_pdb.py hangs with tox -e py27-pexpect on Archlinux when run with devpi (test_pdb.py hangs with tox -e py27-pexpect on Archlinux when run with devpi #1116)
• Many failures with tox -e py34 on Windows (Many failures with tox -e py34 on Windows #1115)
• tox -e py35-xdist (sometimes) fails on OS X (test_cache_show) (tox -e py35-xdist (sometimes) fails on OS X (test_cache_show) #1114)
• devpi generates funny hostnames with OS X devpi issue 276

I think none of those should block 2.8.2 though - the test failures smell like they have been introduced in 2.8.0 or even earlier.

Because of some incomplete test machine setups (I just recycled what I use for qutebrowser 😉) I was unable to test some configurations, so I'd be glad if someone else could.

Out of curiosity, how did you obtain this list? From the changelog?

[The-Compiler]

git log --pretty='format:%an' 2.8.1..HEAD | sort | uniq

Most of those are small doc/test fixes and probably don't warrant a changelog entry, but still nice to give credit here. I probably should add that command to HOWTORELEASE 😉
