== Version 1.1.0-RC1
Textmate Bundle users - this release adds a new RSpec bundle that highlights describe, it, before and after and
provides navigation to descriptions and examples (rather than classes and methods). When you first install this,
it is going to try to hijack all of your .rb files. All you need to do is open a .rb file that does not end with
'spec.rb' and change the bundle selection from RSpec to Ruby. TextMate will do the right thing from then on.
Shortcuts for tab-activated snippets all follow the TextMate convention of 2 or 3 letters of the first word, followed by the first letter of each subsequent word. So "should have_at_least" would be triggered by shhal.
We reduced the scope for running spec directories, files, a single file or individual spec in TextMate to source.ruby.rspec. This allowed us to restore the standard Ruby shortcuts:
CMD-R runs all the specs in one file
CMD-SHIFT-R runs an individual spec
CMD-OPT-R runs any files or directories selected in the TextMate drawer
rspec_on_rails users - don't forget to run script/generate rspec
* Added shared_examples_for method, which you can (should) use instead of describe Foo, :shared => true
* Applied LH[#168] Fix describe Object, "description contains a # in it" (Patch from Martin Emde)
* Applied LH[#15] Reverse loading of ActionView::Base helper modules (Patch from Mark Van Holstyn)
* Applied LH[#149] Update contribute page to point towards lighthouse (Patch from Josh Knowles)
* Applied LH[#142] verify_rcov fails with latest rcov (Patch from Kyle Hargraves)
* Applied LH[#10] Allow stubs to yield and return values (Patch from Pat Maddox)
* Fixed LH[#139] version.rb in trunk missing svn last changed number
* Applied LH[#14] Adding support for by_at_least/by_at_most in Change matcher (Patch from Saimon Moore)

== Version 1.0.8
Another bugfix release - this time to resolve the version mismatch
== Version 1.0.7
Quick bugfix release to ensure that you don't have to have the rspec gem installed
in order to use autotest with rspec_on_rails.
* Fixed [#13015] autotest gives failure in 'spec_command' after upgrade 1.0.5 to 1.0.6
== Version 1.0.6
The "holy cow, batman, it's been a long time since we released and there are a ton of bug
fixes, patches and even new features" release.
Warning: Spec::Rails users: In fixing 11508, we've removed the raise_controller_errors method. As long as you
follow the upgrade instructions and run 'script/generate rspec' you'll be fine, but if you skip this
step you need to manually go into spec_helper.rb and remove the call to that method (if present - it
might not be if you haven't upgraded in a while).
Warning: Implementors of custom formatters. Formatters will now be sent an Example object instead of just a
String for #example_started, #example_passed and #example_failed. In certain scenarios
(Spec::Ui with Spec::Distributed), the formatter must ask the Example for its sequence number instead of
keeping track of a sequence number internal to the formatter. Most of you shouldn't need to upgrade
your formatters though - the Example#to_s method returns the example name/description, so you should be
able to use the passed Example instance as if it were a String.

* Applied [#10460] Make SpecRunner easier to instantiate without using commandline args
== Version 0.9.1
This release introduces #describe and #it (aliased as #context and #specify for
backwards compatibility). This allows you to express specs like this:
describe SomeClass do # Creates a Behaviour
it "should do something" do # Creates an Example
end
end
The command line features four new options that give you more control over what specs
are being run and in what order. This can be used to verify that your specs are
independent (by running in opposite order with --reverse). It can also be used to cut
down feedback time by running the most recently modified specs first (--loadby mtime --reverse).
Further, --example replaces the old --spec option, and it can now take a file name of
spec names as an alternative to just a spec name. The --format failing_examples:file.txt
option allows you to output an --example compatible file, which makes it possible to only
rerun the specs that failed in the last run. Spec::Rails uses all of these four options
by default to optimise your RSpec experience.
There is now a simple configuration model. For Spec::Rails, you do something like this:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false
config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures'
end
You can now use mocha or flexmock with RSpec if you prefer either to
RSpec's own mock framework. Just put this:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.mock_with :mocha
end
or this:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.mock_with :flexmock
end
in a file that is loaded before your specs. You can also
configure included modules and predicate_matchers:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.include SomeModule
config.predicate_matchers[:does_something?] = :do_something
end
See Spec::DSL::Behaviour for more on predicate_matchers

== Version 0.8.1
Quick "in house" bug-fix
== Version 0.8.0
This release introduces a new approach to handling expectations using Expression Matchers.
See Upgrade[http://rspec.rubyforge.org/upgrade.html], Spec::Expectations, Spec::Matchers and RELEASE-PLAN for more info.
This release also improves the spec command line by adding DRb support and making it possible to
store command line options in a file. This means a more flexible RSpec experience with Rails,
Rake and editor plugins like TextMate.
It also sports myriad new features, bug fixes, patches and general goodness:
* Fixed [#8928] rspec_on_rails 0.8.0-RC1 controller tests make double call to setup_with_fixtures

== Version 0.7.0
This is the "Grow up and eat your own dog food release". RSpec is now used on itself and
we're no longer using Test::Unit to test it. Although, we are still extending Test::Unit
for the rails plugin (indirectly - through ZenTest)
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS RELEASE IS NOT 100% BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE TO 0.6.x
There are a few changes that will require that you change your existing specs.
RSpec now handles equality exactly like ruby does:
# actual.should_equal(expected) will pass if actual.equal?(expected) returns true
# actual.should eql(expected) will pass if actual.eql?(expected) returns true
# actual.should == expected will pass if actual == expected) returns true
At the high level, eql? implies equivalence, while equal? implies object identity. For more
information on how ruby deals w/ equality, you should do this:
ri equal?
or look at this:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Object.html#M001057
Also, we left in should_be as a synonym for should_equal, so the only specs that should break are the
ones using should_equal (which used to use <code>==</code> instead of <code>.equal?</code>).
Lastly, should_be used to handle true and false differently from any other values. We've removed
this special handling, so now actual.should_be true will fail for any value other than true (it
used to pass for any non-nil, non-false value), and actual.should_be false will fail for any
value other than false (it used to pass for nil or false).
Here's what you'll need to do to update your specs:
# search for "should_equal" and replace with "should_eql"
# run specs
If any specs still fail, they are probably related to should be_true or should_be_false using
non-boolean values. Those you'll just have to inspect manually and adjust appropriately (sorry!).
--------------------------------------------------
Specifying multiple return values in mocks now works like this:
mock.should_receive(:message).and_return(1,2,3)
It used to work like this:
mock.should_receive(:message).and_return([1,2,3])
but we decided that was counter intuitive and otherwise lame.
Here's what you'll need to do to update your specs:
# search for "and_return(["
# get rid of the "[" and "]"
--------------------------------------------------
RSpec on Rails now supports the following (thanks to ZenTest upon which it is built):
# Separate specs for models, views, controllers and helpers
# Controller specs are completely decoupled from the views by default (though you can tell them to couple themselves if you prefer)
# View specs are completely decoupled from app-specific controllers
See http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/index.html for more information
--------------------------------------------------
As usual, there are also other new features and bug fixes:
* Added lots of documentation on mocks/stubs and the rails plugin.
* Added support for assigns[key] syntax for controller specs (to align w/ pre-existing syntax for view specs)
* Added support for controller.should_redirect_to
* RSpec on Rails automatically checks whether it's compatible with the installed RSpec
* Applied [#6393] rspec_on_rails uses deprecated '@response' instead of the accessor
* RSpec now has 100% spec coverage(!)

* Progress (....F..F.) is now coloured. Tweaked patch from KAKUTANI Shintaro.
* Backtrace now excludes the rcov runner (/usr/local/bin/rcov)

* Added [#6091] support for Regexp matching messages sent to should_raise
* Added [#6333] support for Regexp matching in mock arguments

* Fixed [#6233] Colours in specdoc
* Applied [#6207] Allows --diff option to diff target and expected's #inspect output (Patch by Lachie Cox)
* Fixed [#6203] Failure messages are misleading - consider using inspect.
* Added [#6334] subject.should_have_xyz will try to call subject.has_xyz? - use this for hash.should_have_key(key)
* Fixed [#6017] Rake task should ignore empty or non-existent spec-dirs
== Version 0.6.4
In addition to a number of bug fixes and patches, this release begins to formalize the support for
RSpec on Rails.
* Added Christopher Petrilli's TextMate bundle to vendor/textmate/RSpec.tmbundle
* Fixed [#5909], once again supporting multi_word_predicates

* Added support for response.should_have_tag and response.should_not_have_tag (works just like assert_tag in rails)
* Added new -c, --colour, --color option for colourful (red/green) output. Inspired from Pat Eyler's Redgreen gem.
* Added examples for Watir and Selenium under the gem's vendor directory.
* Renamed rails_spec_runner to rails_spec_server (as referred to in the docs)
* Added support for trying a plural for arbitrary predicates. E.g. Album.should_exist(:name => "Hey Jude") will call Album.exists?(:name => "Hey Jude")
* Added support for should_have to work with methods taking args returning a collection. E.g. @dave.should_have(3).albums_i_have_that_this_guy_doesnt(@aslak)
* Added [#5570] should_not_receive(:msg).with(:specific, "args")
* Applied [#5065] to support using define_method rather than method_missing to capture expected messages on mocks. Thanks to Eero Saynatkari for the tip that made it work.
* Restructured directories and Modules in order to separate rspec into three distinct Modules: Spec::Expectations, Spec::Runner and Spec::Mocks. This will allow us to more easily integrate other mock frameworks and/or allow test/unit users to take advantage of the expectation API.
* Applied [#5620] support any boolean method and arbitrary comparisons (5.should_be < 6) (Patch from Mike Williams)
== Version 0.6.3

== Version 0.6.1
This is the "fix the most annoying bugs release" of RSpec. There are 9 bugfixes this time.
Things that may break backwards compatibility:
1) Spec::Rake::SpecTask no longer has the options attribute. Use ruby_opts, spec_opts and rcov_opts instead.
