RSpec 1.1.5Edit

Created , updated

Seeing as the official release notes are mangled, here’s a version I cleaned up by hand:

=== Version 1.1.5

IMPORTANT: use the new 'autospec' command instead of 'autotest'. We changed
the way autotest discovers rspec so the autotest executable won't
automatically load rspec anymore. This allows rspec to live side by side other
spec frameworks without always co-opting autotest through autotest's discovery
mechanism.

ALSO IMPORTANT: $rspec_options is gone. If you were using this for anything
(like your own runners), use Spec::Runner.options instead.

ADDITIONALLY IMPORTANT: If you have any custom formatters, you'll need to
modify #example_pending to accept three arguments instead of just two. See the
rdoc for Spec::Runner::Formatter::BaseFormatter#example_pending for more
information.
