specs2 3.0

[etorreborre]

Hi all,

I am glad to announce the release of specs2 3.0. Here are the release notes:

This release contains numerous changes. Please read the blog post to learn more about those changes.

Improvements

• new User Guide (with lots more pages and a search box)
• reworked reporting framework
• lightweight Spec trait to import less implicits in scope and get better compilation times
• brand new Html printer based on Pandoc
• more ScalaCheck functionalities (set parameters from the command line, set Gen/Arbitrary/Pretty instances at the property level)
• examples can now access the “Environment” (the command line arguments, the file system, the execution context, …)
• "online" specifications (examples can create examples)
• new website

Main API changes

• new packaging for Specification concepts:org.specs2.specification.{core, create, dsl, process}
• new Fragment implementation
• Runner/Reporter/Printer/Fold api for executing and reporting specifications
• BeforeAll, BeforeEach, ForEach, AfterEach, AfterAll name changes for executing actions before all examples, before one example, with some specific data for each example… (previous names, like FixtureExample, now replaced withForEach are deprecated)
• deprecated the TimeConversions trait in favor ofscala.concurrent.duration._

I suspect that questions will come up on using this new version so please don't hesitate to ask on the mailing-list if you have any (including the inevitable question: "why is it specs *2* and *3.0*?).

Thanks,

Eric.
