+- specfile
+  * CHANGELOG -> CHANGELOG.rst
+  * README.txt -> README.rst
+
+- update to version 1.5.0:
+  * support shell escaping in python pathnames of popen.
+    Eugene Ciurana discovered that execnet breaks if you use pathnames
+    with spaces in a "python=" part of a spec. We now use shlex.split
+    to split the string.  There is a potential for regressions if you
+    used quote or escape sequences as part of your python command.
+  * Only insert importdir into sys.path if it is not already in the
+    path.
+    This prevents a bug when using enum34 with python 3.6 and
+    pytest-xdist.
+    The issue is that enum34 installs an 'enum' module in
+    site-packages which is normally shadowed by the stdlib version of
+    enum, however in gateway_bootstrap.py site-packages is added at
+    the front the the search path. This means on the workers enum34 is
+    hit for import enum which in turn causes import re to fail (as it
+    makes use of the new enum features in 3.6).
