Subject: [ANN] TestUnit 0.1.4

From the README:

Unit testing is making waves all over the place, largely due to the fact
that it is a core practice of XP. While XP is great, unit testing has
been around for a long time and has always been a good idea. One of the
keys to good unit testing, though, is not just writing tests, but having
tests. What's the difference? Well, if you just _write_ a test and throw
it away, you have no guarantee that something won't change later which
breaks your code. If, on the other hand, you _have_ tests (obviously you
have to write them first), and run them as often as possible, you slowly
build up a wall of things that cannot break without you immediately
knowing about it. This is when unit testing hits its peak usefulness.

Enter Test::Unit, a framework for unit testing in Ruby, helping you to
design, debug and evaluate your code by making it easy to write and have
tests for it.


Here we have a bunch of fixes to the RubyUnit compatibility layer
(thanks primarily to Matt Armstrong), as well as enhanced functionality
for selecting tests from the commandline, and some fixes to the
Test::Unit core. Check out the ChangeLog for all the details.

Happy testing,


Nathaniel
