+In 0.24.0 ``trio`` introduced `~trio.testing.RaisesGroup` in preparation for changing the default of ``strict_exception_groups`` to ``True``. 0.25.0 made this the new default which broke a number of tests that relied on ``pytest.raises`` - this uplifts the tests to using `~trio.testing.RaisesGroup`.
