Subject: [ANN] ZenTest 3.3.0

ZenTest version 3.3.0 has been released!

   http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenTest/
   http://blog.zenspider.com/archives/zentest/

== DESCRIPTION

ZenTest provides 4 different tools and 1 library: zentest, unit_diff,
autotest, multiruby, and Test::Rails.

ZenTest scans your target and unit-test code and writes your missing
code based on simple naming rules, enabling XP at a much quicker
pace. ZenTest only works with Ruby and Test::Unit.

unit_diff is a command-line filter to diff expected results from
actual results and allow you to quickly see exactly what is wrong.

autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during
development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the
corresponding dependent tests.

multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. Great
for compatibility checking!

Test::Rails helps you build industrial-strength Rails code.

== FEATURES

* Scans your ruby code and tests and generates missing methods for you.
* Includes a very helpful filter for Test::Unit output called unit_diff.
* Continually and intelligently test only those files you change with  
autotest.
* Test against multiple versions with multiruby.
* Enhance and automatically audit your rails tests using Test::Rails.
* Includes a LinuxJournal article on testing with ZenTest written by  
Pat Eyler.

Changes:

+ 1 major enhancement:
	+ autotest has been rewritten to be much cleaner, now has a plugin  
system.
+ 5 minor enhancement:
	+ test/rails adds helper tests, "stolen" from Geoff's work, (which  
was "stolen" from ryan's work. :P)
	+ autotest turnaround is now faster.
	+ Added more prune dirs to autotest.
	+ test/rails rewinds IOs containing captured output. Added  
assert_empty.
	+ Document that autotest doesn't run the db:test:prepare rake task  
when in Rails mode.
	+ Added ruby_fork, but haven't fully plugged into autotest yet.
+ 7 bug fixes:
	+ Add SIGINT handler to unit_diff to give a more graceful exit.
	+ Don't strip <> from tempfiles, parse_diff does it for us.
	+ Fixed autotest problems on windoze. Ugh.
	+ Fixed broken pipe bug and newline bug in unit_diff.
	+ Make request_method in ControllerTestCase a String.
	+ multitest installs rubygems if tarball found in versions dir.
	+ multitest only configures when makefile is missing. Rebuilds much  
faster now.
	+ ruby_fork exits without backtrace and allows redirection of output.
