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 19.4.0 (2013-11-25)

Minor:

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* The "rails" configuration helper now automatically sets up your test  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;database for Tork's parallel testing system if your test database is  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SQLite3 and you are using Rails 3 or newer.

Other:

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* rails: remove unused capture of rescued exception

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* coverage: document the use of Ruby 1.9 hash syntax

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* rename `*.markdown` file extension to shorter `*.md`
