We’re releasing rspec-2.6.0.rc2 as a release candidate as there are some
internal changes that we’d like to see put through their paces before
doing a final release. Note that the changes I speak of are internal.
There are no new deprecations in this release, nor any
backward-incompatible changes.

There are, however, some new features that we’re really excited about.
Please do check it out and please do report any issues to the
appropriate github issue tracker:

rspec-core-2.6.0.rc2

full
changelog

  • Enhancements

    • shared_context (Damian Nurzynski)
      • extend groups matching specific metadata with:
        • method definitions
        • subject declarations
        • let/let! declarations
        • etc (anything you can do in a group)
    • its([:key]) works for any subject with #[]. (Peter J.)
    • treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values (Myron M.)
    • Print a deprecation warning when you configure RSpec after defining
      an example. All configuration should happen before any examples are
      defined. (Myron M.)
    • Pass the exit status of a DRb run to the invoking process. This
      causes
      specs run via DRb to not just return true or false. (Ilkka
      Laukkanen)
    • Refactoring of ConfigurationOptions#parse_options (Rodrigo Rosenfeld
      Rosas)
    • Report excluded filters in runner output (tip from andyl)

  • Bug fixes

    • Don’t stumble over an exception without a message (Hans Hasselberg)
    • Remove non-ascii characters from comments that were choking rcov
      (Geoffrey
      Byers)
    • Fixed backtrace so it doesn’t include lines from before the autorun
      at_exit
      hook (Myron M.)
    • Include RSpec::Matchers when first example group is defined, rather
      than just before running the examples. This works around an obscure
      bug in ruby 1.9 that can cause infinite recursion. (Myron M.)
    • Don’t send example_group_[started|finished] to formatters for empty
      groups.
    • Get specs passing on jruby (Sidu P.)
    • Fix bug where mixing nested groups and outer-level examples gave
      unpredictable :line_number behavior (Artur Małecki)
    • Regexp.escape the argument to --example (tip from Elliot W.)
    • Correctly pass/fail pending block with message expectations

  • Bug fixes

    • change matcher dups arrays and hashes so their before/after states
      can be
      compared correctly.
    • Fix the order of inclusion of RSpec::Matchers in
      Test::Unit::TestCase and MiniTest::Unit::TestCase to prevent a
      SystemStackError (Myron M.)

      hashes
      failed to return the correct value

      the whole
      rails framework

    • fix typo in “rake spec:statsetup” (Curtis S.)
    • expose named routes in anonymous controller specs (Andy Lindeman)
    • error when generating namespaced scaffold resources (Andy Lindeman)
