-RELEASE_TYPE: minor
-
-This release significantly improves the performance of drawing unique collections whose
-elements are drawn from  :func:`~hypothesis.strategies.sampled_from`  strategies.
-
-As a side effect, this detects an error condition that would previously have
-passed silently: When the ``min_size`` argument on a collection with distinct elements
-is greater than the number of elements being sampled, this will now raise an error.
