### rspec-core-2.7.0.rc1

full changelog: http://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/compare/v2.6.4...v2.7.0.rc1

NOTE: RSpec''s release policy dictates that there should not be any
backward
incompatible changes in minor releases, but we''re making an exception
to
release a change to how RSpec interacts with other command line tools.

As of 2.7.0, you must explicity `require "rspec/autorun"` unless you
use the
`rspec` command (which already does this for you).

* Enhancements
  * Add example.exception (David Chelimsky)
  * --default_path command line option (Justin Ko)
  * support multiple --line_number options (David J. Hamilton)
      * also supports path/to/file.rb:5:9 (runs examples on lines 5 and 9)
  * Allow classes/modules to be used as shared example group identifiers
    (Arthur Gunn)
  * Friendly error message when shared context cannot be found (S?awosz
    S?awi?ski)
  * Clear formatters when resetting config (John Bintz)
  * Add xspecify and xexample as temp-pending methods (David Chelimsky)
  * Add --no-drb option (Iain Hecker)
  * Provide more accurate run time by registering start time before code
    is loaded (David Chelimsky)
  * Rake task default pattern finds specs in symlinked dirs (Kelly Felkins)
  * Rake task decides whether to use bundler or not based on presence
    of BUNDLE_GEMFILE (David Chelimsky)

* Bug fixes
  * Include Rake::DSL to remove deprecation warnings in Rake > 0.8.7 (Pivotal
    Casebook)
  * Only eval `let` block once even if it returns `nil` (Adam Meehan)
  * Fix --pattern option (wasn''t being recognized) (David Chelimsky)
  * Only implicitly require "rspec/autorun" with the `rspec` command
(David
    Chelimsky)
  * Ensure that rspec''s at_exit defines the exit code (Daniel
Doubrovkine)
  * Show the correct snippet in the HTML and TextMate formatters (Brian
    Faherty)

### rspec-expectations-2.7.0.rc1

full changelog:
http://github.com/rspec/rspec-expectations/compare/v2.6.0...v2.7.0.rc1

  * Improved failure message for the have_xxx matcher (Myron Marston)
  * HaveMatcher supports #count (Matthew Bellantoni)
  * Change matcher dups Enumerable before the action, supporting custom
    Enumerable types like CollectionProxy in Rails (David Chelimsky)

* Bug fixes
  * Fix typo in have(n).xyz documentation (Jean Boussier)
  * fix safe_sort for ruby 1.9.2 (Kernel now defines <=> for Object)
(Peter van Hardenberg)

  * Add support for any_instance argument matching based on `with` (Sidu
    Ponnappa and Andy Lindeman)

* Changes
  * Check for #failure_message_for_should or #failure_message instead of
    #description to detect a matcher (Tibor Claassen)

* Bug fixes
  * pass a hash to `any_instance.stub`. (Justin Ko)
  * allow :to_ary to be called without raising NoMethodError (Mikhail Dieterle)

This sounds awesome. Are there any full examples? I could only see unit tests in
the code.

Nope. Wanna add one?

The basic idea is:

shared_examples Enumerable do
  describe "#count" do
    it "returns 0 by default" do
      subject.count.should eq(0)
    end
  end
end

describe SpecialCollection do
  it_behaves_like Enumerable
end

Cheers,
David

Aye, that''s what I figured :-)  I''ve wished for that for a
long time.

I''m away for a bit but I''ll see if I get chance soon.
