ZenTest version 4.9.3 has been released!

ZenTest provides 4 different tools: zentest, unit\_diff, autotest, and  
multiruby.

zentest scans your target and unit-test code and writes your missing  
code based on simple naming rules, enabling XP at a much quicker pace.  
zentest only works with Ruby and Minitest or Test::Unit. There is  
enough evidence to show that this is still proving useful to users, so  
it stays.

unit\_diff is a command-line filter to diff expected results from  
actual results and allow you to quickly see exactly what is wrong.  
Do note that minitest 2.2+ provides an enhanced assert\_equal obviating  
the need for unit\_diff

autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during  
development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the  
corresponding dependent tests.

multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. Great  
for compatibility checking! Use multiruby\_setup to manage your  
installed versions.

\* 2 bug fixes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;\* Fixed completed\_re and failed\_results\_re to match minitest 5 (and still mt 4).
