Most significant changes are: - Fixed loading of tests by name when name refers to unbound method (PyUnit issue 563882, thanks to Alexandre Fayolle) - Ignore non-callable attributes of classes when searching for test method names (PyUnit issue 769338, thanks to Seth Falcon)

These two are probably okay to port back (though too late for 2.3.1).

- New assertTrue and assertFalse aliases for comfort of JUnit users - Automatically discover 'runTest()' test methods (PyUnit issue 469444, thanks to Roeland Rengelink) - Dropped Python 1.5.2 compatibility, merged appropriate shortcuts from Python CVS; should work with Python >= 2.1. - Removed all references to string module by using string methods instead

These should wait on 2.4.
