	# Tests to ensure that projects depending on cocotb continue to work with the
	# latest development version of cocotb.
	#
	# Generally, we test the development version of cocotb against supported,
	# released versions of the other projects. (It is expected that the projects
	# themselves test their in-development code against the released version of
	# cocotb.)
