• Fixes issues with doctests reported in #36 - class, package and module didn't work because DoctestItem doesn't have cls or module attributes. Thanks @tobywf.

• Deprecate none bucket type. Update: this was a mistake, it will be kept for backwards compatibility.

• With tox, run tests of pytest-random-order with both pytest 3 and 4.

• Plugin no longer alters the test order by default. You will have to either 1) pass --random-order, or --random-order-bucket=<bucket>, or --random-order-seed=<seed>, or 2) edit your pytest configuration file and add one of these options there under addopts, or 3) specify these flags in environment variable PYTEST_ADDOPTS.

• Python 3.5+ is required. If you want to use this plugin with Python 2.7, use v0.8.0 which is stable and fine if you are happy with it randomising the test order by default.

• The name under which the plugin registers itself is changed from random-order (hyphen) to random_order (underscore). This addresses the issue of consistency when disabling or enabling this plugin via the standard -p flag. Previously, the plugin could be disabled by passing -p no:random-order yet re-enabled only by passing -p pytest_random_order.plugin. Now they are -p no:random_order to disable and -p random_order.plugin to enable (The .plugin bit, I think, is required because pytest probably thinks it's an unrelated thing to random_order and import it, yet without it it's the same thing so doesn't import it).

• pytest cache plugin's --failed-first works now.
