+@itemize
+@item fixes @code{AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Callable'}
+@item fixes @code{AttributeError: module 'inspect' has no attribute 'getargspec'}
+@item fixes @code{ImportError: cannot import name '_TextTestResult' from 'unittest'}
+@item fixes @code{RuntimeWarning: TestResult has no addDuration method}
+@item fixes @code{DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API}
+@item fixes all @code{flake8} issues from the original nose
+@item replaces the imp module with the newer importlib module
+@item the default logging level now hides @code{INFO} logs for less noise
+@item adds @code{--capture-logs} for hiding output from all logging levels
+@item adds @code{--logging-init} to use @code{logging.basicConfig(level)}
+@item the @code{-s} option is always active to see the output of @code{print()}
+@item adds @code{--capture-output} for hiding the output of @code{print()}
+@item adds @code{--co} as a shortcut to using @code{--collect-only}
