RSpec-2.0.0 has been released!
This marks the end of a year-long effort that improves RSpec in a number
of ways, including modularity, cleaner code, and much better integration
with Rails-3 than was possible before (see
http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/2010/01/25/rspec-20-in-the-works/).
Docs, with a little bit of relish
In addition to the documentation available at all the places (see
http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/2010/07/01/rspec-2-documentation/), we’ve
also got all of the Cucumber features posted to Justin Ko’s new Cucumber
presentation app, relish.
We’ll also have the RDoc up on http://rdoc.info in a day or so.
Thanks!

Extra special thanks go to:
- Chad H. for contributing his Micronaut gem which is the basis
for rspec-core-2 - Yehuda K., Carl L., and José Valim, for their assistance with
getting rspec-rails-2 to take advantage of new APIs in Rails-3, and for
shepherding patches to Rails that made it far simpler for testing
extensions like rspec-rails to hook into Rails’ testing infrastructure.
Their work here has significantly reduced the risk that Rails
point-releases will break rspec-rails. - Myron M. for a wealth of thoughtful contributions including
Cucumber features that we can all learn from - Justin Ko for his direct contributions to rspec, and for relish
(http://relishapp.com/), which makes executable documentation act more
like documentation.
What’s next?
rspec-rails-2 for rails-2
There are a couple of projects floating around that support rspec-2 and
rails-2. I haven’t had the chance to review any of these myself, but my
hope is that we’ll have be an official rspec-2 for rails-2 gem in the
coming months.
rspec-1 maintenance
rspec-1 will continue to get maintenance releases, but these will be
restricted, primarily, to bug fixes. Any new features will go into
rspec-2, and will likely not be back-ported.
