- Issue #28380: unittest.mock Mock autospec functions now properly support
  assert_called, assert_not_called, and assert_called_once.
  
- Issue #28735: Fixed the comparison of mock.MagickMock with mock.ANY.

- Issue #20804: The unittest.mock.sentinel attributes now preserve their
  identity when they are copied or pickled.

- Issue #28961: Fix unittest.mock._Call helper: don't ignore the name parameter

- Issue #26807: mock_open 'files' no longer error on readline at end of file.
  Patch from Yolanda Robla.

- Issue #25195: Fix a regression in mock.MagicMock. _Call is a subclass of
  tuple (changeset 3603bae63c13 only works for classes) so we need to
  implement __ne__ ourselves.  Patch by Andrew Plummer.

- Issue #26323: Add Mock.assert_called() and Mock.assert_called_once()
  methods to unittest.mock. Patch written by Amit Saha.

  read_data is bytes.  Initial patch by Aaron Hill.

- Issue #21750: mock_open.read_data can now be read from each instance, as it
  could in Python 3.3.

- Issue #18622: unittest.mock.mock_open().reset_mock would recurse infinitely.
  Patch from Nicola Palumbo and Laurent De Buyst.

- Issue #21270: We now override tuple methods in mock.call objects so that
  they can be used as normal call attributes.

- Issue #21256: Printout of keyword args should be in deterministic order in
  a mock function call. This will help to write better doctests.

- Issue #21262: New method assert_not_called for Mock.
  It raises AssertionError if the mock has been called.

- Issue #21238: New keyword argument `unsafe` to Mock. It raises
  `AttributeError` incase of an attribute startswith assert or assret.

  which it could get an inspect.Signature is a callable written in Python.
  Fix courtesy of Michael Foord.

- Issue #17467: add readline and readlines support to mock_open in
  unittest.mock.

- Issue #17015: When it has a spec, a Mock object now inspects its signature
  when matching calls, so that arguments can be matched positionally or
  by name.

- Issue #15323: improve failure message of Mock.assert_called_once_with

- Issue #14857: fix regression in references to PEP 3135 implicit __class__
  closure variable (Reopens issue #12370)
