* :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.

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
