See the blog post for more information, but highlights include:

  1. tag overrides

Now you can set tag/filter defaults in .rspec:

–tag ~javascript

or in RSpec.configure (in spec_helper.rb):

RSpec.configure {|c| c.filter_run_excluding :javascript}

and then override that from the command line when you want to run the
javascript specs:

rspec --tag javascript

  1. –order rand

Courtesy of Justin Ko, this addition allows you to run examples in
random order. To make that your default, we recommend putting this in
.rspec:

–order rand

Then you can override it from the command line like this:

rspec --order default

Or you specify a seed in two ways:

rspec --order rand:1234
rspec --seed 1234

  1. speed improvements in rspec-expectations

YMMV, but all of the built-in matchers have been reimplemented as
classes (they were previously generated using the DSL, which interprets
a lot of code at invocation time).
