Hey all, I''m happy to announce that The RSpec Book will be updated for RSpec-2 and Rails-3 before its final release. This, of course, means that the print schedule will get pushed back, but we''ll have a couple of more beta releases of the book before we go to print. I don''t know the exact schedule right now, but I''ll follow up as it shapes up. Cheers, David

I''m sure it''ll be well worth the wait; having the beta book available in the meantime gives RSpec users the best of both worlds. Cheers, -Tom

It''s hard for a dead-tree book authors to keep up with changing software, even when he/she/they are the folks changing the software. I guess that the current beta PDF will serve as the best checkpoint for RSpec 1 and Rails 2.x. I guess it''s time to print a personal hard-copy. -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale
