We're releasing rspec-2.6.0.rc2 as a release candidate as there are some internal changes that we'd like to see put through their paces before doing a final release. Note that the changes I speak of are internal. There are no new deprecations in this release, nor any backward-incompatible changes.
There are, however, some new features that we're really excited about. Please do check it out and please do report any issues to the appropriate github issue tracker: * [rspec-core](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/issues) * [rspec-expectations](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-expectations/issues) * [rspec-mocks](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks/issues) * [rspec-rails](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues) ### rspec-core-2.6.0.rc2 [full changelog](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/compare/v2.5.1...v2.6.1.rc2) * Enhancements * `shared_context` (Damian Nurzynski) * extend groups matching specific metadata with: * method definitions * subject declarations * let/let! declarations * etc (anything you can do in a group) * `its([:key])` works for any subject with #[]. (Peter Jaros) * `treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values` (Myron Marston) * Print a deprecation warning when you configure RSpec after defining an example. All configuration should happen before any examples are defined. (Myron Marston) * Pass the exit status of a DRb run to the invoking process. This causes specs run via DRb to not just return true or false. (Ilkka Laukkanen) * Refactoring of ConfigurationOptions#parse_options (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas) * Report excluded filters in runner output (tip from andyl) * Bug fixes * Don't stumble over an exception without a message (Hans Hasselberg) * Remove non-ascii characters from comments that were choking rcov (Geoffrey Byers) * Fixed backtrace so it doesn't include lines from before the autorun at_exit hook (Myron Marston) * Include RSpec::Matchers when first example group is defined, rather than just before running the examples. This works around an obscure bug in ruby 1.9 that can cause infinite recursion. (Myron Marston) * Don't send example_group_[started|finished] to formatters for empty groups. * Get specs passing on jruby (Sidu Ponnappa) * Fix bug where mixing nested groups and outer-level examples gave unpredictable :line_number behavior (Artur Małecki) * Regexp.escape the argument to --example (tip from Elliot Winkler) * Correctly pass/fail pending block with message expectations ### rspec-expectations-2.6.0.rc2 [full changelog](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-expectations/compare/v2.5.0...v2.6.1.rc2) * Enhancments * `change` matcher accepts Regexps (Robert Davis) * better descriptions for have_xxx matchers (Magnus Bergmark) * Bug fixes * Removed non-ascii characters that were choking rcov (Geoffrey Byers) * change matcher dups arrays and hashes so their before/after states can be compared correctly. * Fix the order of inclusion of RSpec::Matchers in Test::Unit::TestCase and MiniTest::Unit::TestCase to prevent a SystemStackError (Myron Marston) ### rspec-mocks-2.6.0.rc2 [full changelog](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks/compare/v2.5.0...v2.6.1.rc2) * Enhancements * Add support for any_instance.stub and any_instance.should_receive (Sidu Ponnappa and Andy Lindeman) * Bug fixes * fix bug in which multiple chains with shared messages ending in hashes failed to return the correct value ### rspec-rails-2.6.0.rc2 [full changelog](http://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/compare/v2.5.0...v2.6.1.rc2) * Enhancments * rails 3 shortcuts for routing specs (Joe Fiorini) * support nested resources in generators (Tim McEwan) * require 'rspec/rails/mocks' to use `mock_model` without requiring the whole rails framework * Bug fixes * fix typo in "rake spec:statsetup" (Curtis Schofield) * expose named routes in anonymous controller specs (Andy Lindeman) * error when generating namespaced scaffold resources (Andy Lindeman) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
