Windows needs the SystemRoot environment variable set to initialize the crypto
API, what running Python in a subprocess does.
However, we did override the whole environment instead of extending it, which
means this broke on Windows when calling asciidoc:
Traceback (most recent call last):

freeze.py now optionally includes pdfjs if it's present. This means we don't
need to download it every time to run frozen tests, but we can include it in
build_release.py when building a windows package.
To build qutebrowser using tox (at least on Ubuntu 14.04.1) the python3-dev package is required (see issue #1200).
This commit adds this package to the list of dependencies for installation of qutebrowser on Debian/Ubuntu systems.
Bugfixes
- Resolve regression introduced in 2.9.0 that made it impossible to send binary
strings as bodies in Python 3.
- Fixed errors when calculating cookie expiration dates in certain locales.
Miscellaneous
- Updated bundled urllib3 to 1.13.1.
- Hypothesis will no longer write generated code to the file system. This will
improve performance on some systems (e.g. if you're using PythonAnywhere
which is running your code from NFS) and prevent some annoying interactions
with auto-restarting systems.
- Hypothesis will cache the creation of some strategies. This can significantly
improve performance for code that uses flatmap or composite and thus has to
instantiate strategies a lot.
