+pytest-xdist 3.6.0 (2024-04-19)
+===============================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- `#1027 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/pull/1027>`_:``pytest-xdist`` workers now always execute the tests in the main thread.
+  Previously some tests might end up executing in a separate thread other than ``main`` in the workers, due to some internal `execnet`` details. This can cause problems specially with async frameworks where the event loop is running in the ``main`` thread (for example `#620 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/620>`__).
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- `#1024 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1024>`_: Added proper handling of ``shouldstop`` (such as set by ``--max-fail``) and ``shouldfail`` conditions in workers.
+  Previously, a worker might have continued executing further tests before the controller could terminate the session.
+
+- `#1028 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1028>`_: Fixed compatibility issue between `looponfail` and editable installs.
+
+- `#620 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/620>`_: Use the new ``main_thread_only`` ``execnet`` "execmodel" so that code which expects to only run in the main thread will now work as expected.
+
+- `#937 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/937>`_: Fixed a bug where plugin would raise an incompatibility error with ``--pdb`` despite using ``-n0``.
+
+
+Removals
+--------
+
+- `#1053 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1053>`_: Dropped support for Python 3.7.
+
+- `#1057 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1057>`_: pytest>=7.0.0 is now required.
+
+  execnet>=2.1.0 is now required.
+
+
+Trivial Changes
+---------------
+
+- `#1020 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1020>`_: pytest-xdist's ``setup.py`` file is removed.
+
+  If you relied on this file, e.g. to install pytest using ``setup.py install``,
+  please see `Why you shouldn't invoke setup.py directly <https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html#summary>`_ for alternatives.
+
+- `#1057 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/1057>`_: The internals of pytest-xdist are now fully typed. The typing is not exposed yet.
+
+- `#996 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-xdist/issues/996>`_: Adjusted license file format and content to ensure security scanners will identity the license.
+
