Subject: [ANN] minitest 3.0.0 Released

minitest version 3.0.0 has been released!

* rdoc: <http://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest>

minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting
TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking.

    "I had a class with Jim Weirich on testing last week and we were
     allowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were
     paired up and we cracked open the code for a few test
     frameworks...

     I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable
     compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and
     thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity."

    -- Wayne E. Seguin

minitest/unit is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework.
It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and
readable.

minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto
minitest/unit and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec
expectations.

minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your
algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb
co-worker doesn't replace your linear algorithm with an exponential
one!

minitest/mock by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock (and stub)
object framework.

minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test
output. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too. :P

minitest/unit is meant to have a clean implementation for language
implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working
test suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case
discovery.

    "Again, I can't praise enough the idea of a testing/specing
     framework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!"

Changes:

### 3.0.0 / 2012-05-08

* 3 major enhancements:

  * Added Object#stub (in minitest/mock.rb).
  * Mock#expect mocks are used in the order they're given.
  * Mock#verify now strictly compares against expect calls.

* 3 minor enhancements:

  * Added caller to deprecation message.
  * Mock error messages are much prettier.
  * Removed String check for RHS of assert/refute_match. This lets #to_str work properly.

* 1 bug fix:

  * Support drive letter on Windows. Patch provided from MRI by Usaku NAKAMURA. (ayumin)
