* :meth:`loadTestsFromName` properly honors the ``suiteClass`` attribute of
the :class:`TestLoader`. (Fixed by Mark Roddy; :issue:`6866`.)
* A new hook, :meth:`addTypeEqualityFunc` takes a type object and a
function. The :meth:`assertEqual` method will use the function
when both of the objects being compared are of the specified type.
This function should compare the two objects and raise an
exception if they don't match; it's a good idea for the function
to provide additional information about why the two objects are
matching, much as the new sequence comparison methods do.

:func:`unittest.main` now takes an optional ``exit`` argument.
If False ``main`` doesn't call :func:`sys.exit` allowing it to
be used from the interactive interpreter. :issue:`3379`.
:func:`unittest.main` now takes an optional ``exit`` argument. If
false, :func:`main` doesn't call :func:`sys.exit`, allowing it to be
used from the interactive interpreter. (Contributed by J. Pablo
Fernández; :issue:`3379`.)
A new command-line switch, :option:`-f` or :option:`--failfast`, makes
test execution stop immediately when a test fails instead of
continuing to execute further tests. (Suggested by Cliff Dyer and
implemented by Michael Foord; :issue:`8074`.)
:class:`TestResult` has new :meth:`startTestRun` and
:meth:`stopTestRun` methods; called immediately before
and after a test run. :issue:`5728` by Robert Collins.
:meth:`stopTestRun` methods that are called immediately before
and after a test run. (Contributed by Robert Collins; :issue:`5728`.)
With all these changes, the :file:`unittest.py` was becoming awkwardly
large, so the module was turned into a package and the code split into
