+    Added a new session scoped fixture ``make_httpserver`` which creates the
+    object for the ``httpserver`` fixture. It can be overridden to add further
+    customizations and it must yield a ``HTTPServer`` object - see
+    ``pytest_plugin.py`` for an implementation. As this fixture is session
+    scoped, it will be called only once when the first test using httpserver is
+    started. This addition also deprecates the use of ``PluginHTTPServer`` which was
+    used in earlier versions as a way to customize server object creation.
+    ``PluginHTTPServer`` can still be used but it may be subject to deprecation
+    in the future.

+    Added a new session scoped fixture ``httpserver_ssl_context`` which provides
+    the SSL context for the server. By default it returns ``None``, so SSL is
+    not enabled, but can be overridden to return a valid ``ssl.SSLContext``
+    object which will be used for SSL connections. See test_ssl.py for example.
