Somewhere in 3.x assertItemsEqual was renamed to assertCountEqual.

assertCountEqual sounds like a really inappropriate, misleading name for what it does. It misleads users into thinking that it only compares the number of elements in each sequence, whereas it actually asserts that equivalent items are present in both sequences, regardless of order. The original name from 2.7 assertItemsEqual was so much more meaningful.
