Hey Jarmo,
Sorry for all the trouble, and thanks for all of the feedback. I'm completely
consumed with getting last minute things together for The RSpec Book to go to
the printer (yay), and preparing for my talk next week at RubyConf, so I'm not
quite sure when I'll be able to review/respond. Hopefully sometime over the
weekend, but no guarantees.
In the meantime, be sure to search the closed issues on github (unfortunately,
they don't show up if you search the open issues), and please feel free to open
new issues for the problems you are experiencing.
Cheers,
David
