Tork runs your tests as they change, in parallel:

&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Absorbs test execution overhead into a master process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Forks to inherit overhead and run test files in parallel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Avoids running unchanged tests inside changed test files.

## Version 18.2.0 (2012-03-27)

Minor:

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* Emit warnings when commands cannot be performed. This improves  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the user experience by giving them immediate feedback. For  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;example, if you issue the "rerun\_failed\_tests" command and no  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tests have failed yet, you will now see a warning message that  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;explains the situation. Thanks to NagaChaitanya Vellanki  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(@chaitanyav) for suggesting this change.

Patch:

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* GH-32: Restore support for Selenium and Capybara by replacing  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the global SIGCHLD handler in tork-master(1) with individual  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;threads, one per forked worker process. Thanks to Bjørn  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trondsen (@Sharagoz) for reporting this issue and verifying the  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;fix.

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* README: Recommend a newer fork of the "memory\_test\_fix" Rails  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;plugin.
