I've released a new version of ScalaTest for Scala 2.9.0. ScalaTest
1.4.1 is intended to provide a smooth upgrade from ScalaTest 1.3,
which runs under Scala 2.8, and is essentially 1.3 features recompiled
for Scala 2.9.0.
You can download a zip file here:
http://www.scalatest.org/download
Or grab it from scala-tools.org via:
group id: org.scalatest
artifact id: scalatest_2.9.0
version: 1.4.1
Release notes are here:
http://www.scalatest.org/release_notes
You can read it for the details. Please post on scala-users if you
encounter any problems.
Note that this release does not have all the new features I've been
previewing lately. That will come in ScalaTest 1.5/1.6, for which I
will be publishing an RC very soon.
Thanks.

Will do. If a change is needed I can release a 1.4.2 for that.

I found out during the 2.8 days that ScalaTest updates were needed by
many open source projects before they could get updates to their
releases out. So I wanted to try and get the ScalaTest updates out
quickly after a new Scala release comes out.
I also this year I finally have more time to devote to ScalaTest. For
almost two years after the ScalaTest 1.0 release I had very little
time to focus on larger features that require larger swaths of time
and concentration. The 1.5/1.6 releases with the stuff I previewed
recently on my blog will be out very soon (1.5 will be for Scala
2.8.1; 1.6 for Scala 2.9.0, with same features). I hope to get an RC
out for both this week, now that 2.9.0 is out. Features coming later
include more reporters, matcher enhancements, and some new style
traits, plus better support for sbt and Maven Surefire, JMock, and
possibly Android. I don't know enough about Android yet to know what
we can do there, but I think that's an important area to support.
Regarding future directions, I try to avoid putting in things in that
I *imagine* will be useful. I prefer to base new features on user
feedback. One problem I have is that I think many ScalaTest users,
maybe because they aren't paying for it, tend to not ask for things
they want. So if any of you have requests, please let me know. You can
email me privately if you prefer to not have it public, or just post
to this list if you don't mind. If you have a complaint, please let me
know that too. The more feedback I get, the better ScalaTest will get.
Thanks.

Thanks for the ideas. One thing you may want to check out is Borachio:
http://www.paulbutcher.com/2011/02/announcing-borachio-native-scala-mocking/
It isn't as full featured as libraries like JMock, Mockito, EasyMock,
etc., but it is a native Scala mocking tool. Allows you to mock
functions for example.
I forgot to mention IDE support in my earlier email. I am going to be
working more on that as well. Got some very good input for the
IntelliJ folks recently, and I want to talk to the NetBeans and
Eclipse folks as well to try and put in something that they can all
make use of.

So if any of you have requests, please let me know.
