rspec-2.9.0.rc1 has been released, with numerous enhancements and bug
fixes:

rspec-core-2.9.0.rc1 / 2012-03-11

full
changelog

Enhancements

  • Support for “X minutes X seconds” spec run duration in formatter.
    (uzzz)
  • Strip whitespace from group and example names in doc formatter.
  • Removed spork-0.9 shim. If you’re using spork-0.8.x, you’ll need to
    upgrade
    to 0.9.0.

Bug fixes

  • Restore --full_backtrace option
  • Ensure that values passed to config.filter_run are respected when
    running
    over DRb (using spork).
  • Ensure shared example groups are reset after a run (as example groups
    are).
  • Remove rescue false from calls to filters represented as Procs
  • Ensure described_class gets the closest constant (pyromaniac)
  • In “autorun”, don’t run the specs in the at_exit hook if there was an
    exception (most likely due to a SyntaxError). (sunaku)
  • Don’t extend groups with modules already used to extend ancestor
    groups.

rspec-expectations-2.9.0.rc1 / 2012-03-11

full
changelog

Enhancements

  • Move built-in matcher classes to RSpec::Matchers::BuiltIn to reduce
    pollution
    of RSpec::Matchers (which is included in every example).
  • Autoload files with matcher classes to improve load time.

Bug fixes

  • Align respond_to? and method_missing in DSL-defined matchers.
  • Clear out user-defined instance variables between invocations of
    DSL-defined
    matchers.
  • Dup the instance of a DSL generated matcher so its state is not
    changed by
    subsequent invocations.
  • Treat expected args consistently across positive and negative
    expectations
    (thanks to Ralf Kistner for the heads up)

There was an error in one of the gemspecs so I just released
2.9.0.rc2. No other changes since rc1.
