Changelog
=========
+* :support:`612` Identify & work around a race condition in the test for
+ handshake timeouts, which was causing frequent test failures for a subset of
+ contributors as well as Travis-CI (usually, but not always, limited to Python
+ 3.5). Props to Ed Kellett for assistance during some of the troubleshooting.
* :support:`697` Remove whitespace in our ``setup.py``'s ``install_requires``
as it triggers occasional bugs in some versions of ``setuptools``. Thanks to
Justin Lecher for catch & original patch.
