rspec version 1.2.0 has been released!

Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby.

Changes:

### Version 1.2.0

WARNINGS:

- If you use the ruby command to run specs instead of the spec  
command, you’ll  
need to require ‘spec/autorun’ or they won’t run. This won’t affect  
you if  
you use the spec command or the Spec::Rake::SpecTask that ships with  
RSpec.

- require ‘spec/test/unit’ to invoke test/unit interop if you’re using  
RSpec’s core (this is handled implicitly with spec-rails)

- setup and teardown are gone - use before and after instead

- The matcher protocol has been improved. The old protocol is still  
supported, so as long as you’re not monkey patching rspec’s built-in  
matchers, or using extension libraries that do, this should not  
affect  
you. If you run into trouble, you’ll just need to change:

- All references to rubygems have been removed from within rspec’s  
code.

- deprecations

- enhancements

- bug fixes
