test-unit version 1.2.3 has been released!

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

Test::Unit (Classic) - Nathaniel T.'s originial test-unit,  
externalized from the ruby project as a gem (for tool developers).

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

- This is the original Test::Unit, taken straight from the ruby  
distribution. It is being distributed as a gem to allow tool  
builders to use it as a stand-alone package. (The test framework in  
ruby is going to radically change very soon).
- DO NOT INSTALL THIS GEM unless you’re active state or some other  
development tool provider! You don’t need it.

Changes:

### 1.2.3 / 2008-02-25

- 1 major enhancement

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

Ruby is going officially rspec? That would rock.

How does one go about finding out how the new Test::Unit, or new test  
framework in Ruby, will look like?
