+- update to version 3.40.1:
+
+3.40.1 - 2017-12-04
+  * This release makes two changes:
+    + It makes the calculation of some of the metadata that Hypothesis
+      uses for shrinking occur lazily. This should speed up
+      performance of test case generation a bit because it no longer
+      calculates information it doesn’t need.
+    + It improves the shrinker for certain classes of nested
+      examples. e.g. when shrinking lists of lists, the shrinker is
+      now able to concatenate two adjacent lists together into a
+      single list. As a result of this change, shrinking may get
+      somewhat slower when the minimal example found is large.
+
+- changes from version 3.40.0:
+  * This release improves how various ways of seeding Hypothesis
+    interact with the example database:
+    + Using the example database with seed() is now deprecated. You
+      should set database=None if you are doing that. This will only
+      warn if you actually load examples from the database while using
+      @seed.
+    + The derandomize will behave the same way as @seed.
+    + Using --hypothesis-seed will disable use of the database.
+    + If a test used examples from the database, it will not suggest
+      using a seed to reproduce it, because that won’t work.
+
+- changes from version 3.39.0:
+  * This release adds a new health check that checks if the smallest
+    “natural” possible example of your test case is very large - this
+    will tend to cause Hypothesis to generate bad examples and be
+    quite slow.
+
+- changes from version 3.38.9:
+  * This is a documentation release to improve the documentation of
+    shrinking behaviour for Hypothesis’s strategies.
+
+- changes from version 3.38.8:
+  * This release improves the performance of characters() when using
+    blacklist_characters and from_regex() when using negative
+    character classes.
+
+- changes from version 3.38.7:
+  * This is a patch release for from_regex(), which had a bug in
+    handling of the re.VERBOSE flag (issue #992). Flags are now
+    handled correctly when parsing regex.
+

+
+- update to version 3.38.6:
+  * This patch changes a few byte-string literals from double to
+    single quotes, thanks to an update in unify. There are no
+    user-visible changes.
