Changes:

## 0.7.0 / 2008-05-16

- Support for tools, paths and context information in the configuration  
solidified ([http://patir.rubyforge.org/rutema/tool\_configuration.html](http://patir.rubyforge.org/rutema/tool_configuration.html)  
for more)
- Changes in the configuration for Historian and ActiveRecordReporter.  
Check the distro\_test samples

- Added support for jdbc/h2 to work with jRuby
- AR-reporter configuration expanded to support different adapters.  
Consistent with the Historian db configuration
- rutema unit tests now run under jRuby
- rutemah runs under jRuby

## 0.6.5 / 2008-04-15

- Updated rutemaweb controller to work with ramaze 0.3.9.1

## 0.6.4 / 2008-03-30

- Bugfix: duration SQL type adjusted in the model to return proper  
values.
- Bugfix: name=step\_type for TestStep so that name is assigned a value  
in the model step
- Locked the Ramaze version to 0.3.5 until we find out why the new  
version breaks us

## 0.6.3 / 2008-03-26

- Bugfix: specifying a .spec filename on the commandline did not work -  
Path expanded before changing directory.
- Bugfix: running an attended .spec on it’s own was not possible -  
attended mode is now set for single runs.
- Cleaned up the Runner’s log output

## 0.6.2 / 2008-03-12

- Parsers derived from Rutema::SpecificationParser now receive the  
system configuration so that conventions like tools, paths and context  
can be used in element\_ methods (this functionality fell through the  
cracks with the change in parser implementation)
- rutemaweb now has proper commandline help and connects properly to the  
database

## 0.6.1 / 2008-02-28

- ExtensibleXMLParser made more tolerant (no exceptions when an element  
cannot be handled)
- Bug: Typo in the class name used in the exceptions fixed
- Bugfix: ActiveRecord connection throws an exception that prevented  
Historian from establishing a new one. Fixed
- More unit tests

## 0.6.0 / 2008-02-27

- Added Rutema::ExtensibleXMLParser - this parser simplifies parser  
creation immensely. Check the documentation for details
- “Howto create a parser v0.5.0” officially the fastest deprecation of a  
document ever. [http://patir.rubyforge.org/rutema/parser.html](http://patir.rubyforge.org/rutema/parser.html) is the new  
black.
- Corrected some english spelling mistakes (hey, we’re not native  
speakers)
- Fixed an issue with AR cached connections that interfered with unit  
tests
