+
+Running the test suite
+----------------------
+
+The test suite is built atop the excellent `py.test`_ library, and can be run with::
+
+ py.test
+
+from the root of a source checkout.
+
+.. _py.test: http://pytest.org/latest/
+
+Most of the tests are pairs of input/output files in ``scss/tests/files``; the
+test suite scans for these, compiles all the ``.scss`` files, and compares the
+output with the ``.css`` file of the same name. You can limit which file tests
+run::
+
+ py.test --test-file-filter=REGEX,REGEX,REGEX...
+
+There are also several tests borrowed from the Ruby and C implementations.
+Many of these don't work (due to missing features, different error messages,
+slightly different formatting, etc.), so to reduce the useless noise produced
+by a test run, you must explicitly opt into them with ``--include-ruby``, even
+when using a file filter. These files are in the ``from-ruby/`` and
+``from-sassc/`` subdirectories.
+
+Additionally, test files in the ``xfail/`` subdirectory are assumed to fail.
+Other than these cases, the directory names are arbitrary.

+Changelog
+---------
+
+1.2.0 (not yet released)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This is a significant release that greatly increases compatibility with the
+reference compiler; in particular, the Sass port of Bootstrap now compiles.
+
+There are a lot of changes here, so please feel free to report any bugs you
+see! The goal is 100% compatibility with the Ruby project.
+
+Missing Sass features
+"""""""""""""""""""""
+
+* Dashes and underscores are treated as interchangeable in variable, function, and mixin names.
+* Rule blocks in the form ``background: red { ... }`` are now supported.
+* Colors are output as their shortest representation, and never as ``hsl()``. The separate compiler options for compressing colors have been removed.
+* The color modification functions (``adjust-color``, etc.) now work reliably.
+* ``transparent`` is recognized as a color.
+* Unrecognized units are now supported and treated as opaque.
+* Arbitrary combinations of units (e.g., ``px * px``) are supported for intermediate values. Unit cancellation now works reliably.
+* Comparison and addition are now more in line with the Ruby behavior.
+* ``/`` is now left untouched when it appears between literals, as in ``font: 0 / 0``.
+* ``null`` is supported.
+* ``zip()`` is supported.
+* ``grayscale()`` now knows it's also a CSS3 filter function, and won't be evaluated if its argument is a number.
+* Slurpy arguments (``some-function($args...)``) are supported.
+* ``@extend`` has been greatly improved: it eliminates common ancestors and works in many complex cases that used to produce strange results.
+* Several Compass functions now adhere more closely to Compass's behavior. ``linear-gradient()`` is less likely to wreck valid CSS3 syntax.
+* Compass's ``e()``, ``pow()``, ``log()``, and ``sqrt()`` are now supported.
+
+Bug fixes
+"""""""""
+
+* Interactive mode works. Again.
+* Color names in strings and selectors are no longer replaced with hex equivalents.
+* Unrecognized ``@``-rule blocks such as ``@keyframes`` are left alone, rather than being treated like selectors.
+* ``@media`` blocks aren't repeated for every rule inside.
+* Pound-interpolation always drops quotes on strings.
+* Single quoted strings no longer lose their quotes when rendered.
+* ``+ foo { ... }`` is now recognized as a nested block, not an include.
+* ``color-stop()`` and several proposed CSS4 functions no longer produce "unrecognized function" warnings.
+* Several obscure bugs with variable scoping have been fixed, though a couple others remain.
+* Several bugfixes to the C speedups module to bring it in line with the behavior of the pure-Python scanner.
+
+New features
+""""""""""""
+
+* Python 3 support. As a result, Python 2.5 no longer works; whether this is a bug or a feature is not yet clear.
+* It's possible to write custom Sass functions in Python, though the API for this is not final.
+* Experimental support for the map type and destructuring ``@each``, both unreleased additions to the Ruby project.
+* Added ``background-brushed``.
+
+Backwards-incompatible changes
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+* Configuration via monkeypatching the ``scss`` module no longer works. Monkeypatch ``scss.config`` instead.
+* ``em`` and ``px`` are no longer compatible.
+* Unrecognized variable names are now a fatal error.
+
+Internals
+"""""""""
+
+* No longer a single 5000-line file!
+* Vastly expanded test suite, including some experimental tests borrowed from the Ruby and C implementations.
+* Parser now produces an AST rather than evaluating expressions during the parse, which allows for heavier caching and fixes some existing cache bugs.
+* The type system has been virtually rewritten; types now act much less like Python types, and compilation uses Sass types throughout rather than mixing Python types with Sass types.
+
+1.1.5 (Feb 15, 2013)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* ``debug_info`` now properly produces rules that can be used by FireSass and Google Chrome SASS Source Maps.
+* Improved memory usage for large sets of files to be used as sprites.
+* Warns about IE 4095 maximum number of selectors.
+* ``debug_info`` prints info as comments if specified as ``comments``.
+* Better handling of undefined variables.
+* Added CSS filter functions and ``skewX`` ``skewY``.
+* Command line tool and entry point fixed.
+* Fix cache buster URLs when paths already include queries or fragments.
+* Hashable Values.
+
+1.1.4 (Aug 8, 2012)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Added ``--debug-info`` command line option (for *FireSass* output).
+* Added compass helper function ``reject()``.
+* Added ``undefined`` keyword for undefined variables.
+
+1.1.3 (Jan 9, 2012)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Support for the new Sass 3.2.0 features (``@content`` and placeholder selectors)
+* Fixed bug with line numbers throwing an exception.
+
+1.1.2 (Jan 3, 2012)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Regression bug fixed from 1.1.1
+
+1.1.1 (Jan 2, 2012)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Added optional C speedup module for an amazing boost in scanning speed!
+* Added ``headings``, ``stylesheet-url``, ``font-url``, ``font-files``, ``inline-font-files`` and ``sprite-names``.
+
+1.1.0 (Dec 22, 2011)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Added ``min()`` and ``max()`` for lists.
+* Removed exception raise.
+
+1.0.9 (Dec 22, 2011)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Optimizations in the scanner.
+* Added ``background-noise()`` for compass-recipes support.
+* ``enumerate()`` and ``range()`` can go backwards. Ex.: ``range(3, 0)`` goes from 3 to 0.
+* Added line numbers and files for errors.
+* Added support for *Firebug* with *FireSass*.
+* ``nth(n)`` is round (returns the ``nth mod len`` item of the list).
+* ``--watch`` added to the command line.
+* Several bugs fixed.
+
+1.0.8 (May 13, 2011)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Changed source color (``$src-color``) default to black.
+* Moved the module filename to ``__init__.py`` and module renamed back to scss.
