+0.9.15
+~~~~~~
+
+This is the last release to support Python2.4 and 2.5. It brings in a slew of
+improvements to test tagging and concurrency, making running large test suites
+with partitioned workers more reliable and easier to reproduce exact test
+ordering in a given worker. See our sister project ``testrepository`` for a
+test runner that uses these features.
