 3.0.7 (unreleased)
-=======================
+==================
 
 * Fix regression, pytest now skips unittest correctly if run with ``--pdb``
   (`#2137`_). Thanks to `@gst`_ for the report and `@mbyt`_ for the PR.
 
+* Replace ``raise StopIteration`` usages in the code by simple ``returns`` to finish generators, in accordance to `PEP-479`_ (`#2160`_).
+  Thanks `@tgoodlet`_ for the report and `@nicoddemus`_ for the PR.
