minitest version 1.5.0 has been released!

\* \<[http://rubyforge.org/projects/bfts](http://rubyforge.org/projects/bfts)\>

minitest/unit is a small and fast replacement for ruby's huge and slow  
test/unit. This is meant to be clean and easy to use both as a regular  
test writer and for language implementors that need a minimal set of  
methods to bootstrap a working unit test suite.

mini/spec is a functionally complete spec engine.

mini/mock, by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock object framework.

(This package was called miniunit once upon a time)

Changes:

### 1.5.0 / 2010-01-06

\* 4 minor enhancements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* Added ability to specify what assertions should have their args flipped.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;\* Don't flip arguments on \*include and \*respond\_to assertions.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;\* Refactored Module.infect\_an\_assertion from Module.infect\_with\_assertions.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;\* before/after :all now bitches and acts like :each

\* 3 bug fixes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* Nested describes now map to nested test classes to avoid namespace collision.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;\* Using undef\_method instead of remove\_method to clean out inherited specs.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;\* assert\_raises was ignoring passed in message.

There is always rdoc/ri once you install a gem. You can see the rdoc online at:
