+RELEASE_TYPE: minor
+
+This release modifies our :pypi:`pytest` plugin, to avoid importing Hypothesis
+and therefore triggering :ref:`Hypothesis' entry points <entry-points>` for
+test suites where Hypothesis is installed but not actually used (:issue:`3140`).
+
+If you :ref:`manually load the plugin <disabling-pytest-plugin>`, you'll need
+to update the module name accordingly.
