minitest version 1.4.0 has been released!

- [http://rubyforge.org/projects/bfts](http://rubyforge.org/projects/bfts)

minitest/unit is a small and fast replacement for ruby’s huge and slow  
test/unit. This is meant to be clean and easy to use both as a regular  
test writer and for language implementors that need a minimal set of  
methods to bootstrap a working unit test suite.

mini/spec is a functionally complete spec engine.

mini/mock, by Steven B., is a beautifully tiny mock object framework.

(This package was called miniunit once upon a time)
