RELEASE HISTORY

1.8.2 / 2013-02-18

This release primarily fixes one bug –the assertions count global variable wasn’t all caps, which prevented assertions from being counted correctly.

Changes:

1.8.1 / 2011-12-04

Fixed missing ae/ansi.rb file from distribution.

Changes:

1.8.0 / 2011-12-03 / Checkered Flag

This new release improves support for Proc-based assertions and RSpec-style matchers. In addition, this release sees the optional Check Ok/No library in a usable state. And, lastly, note the license has been changed to BSD-2-Clause.

Changes:

1.7.4 / 2011-06-08

Quick release fixes an issue due to Ruby 1.9+‘s constant look-up system. Yes, BasicObject has no clue. This is fixed using the const_missing hook.

Changes:

1.7.3 / 2011-06-06 / D-Day

This release simply adds a new optional help library, ok.rb. The API is still in it’s infancy, so it probably will change but this early release can help refine it’s development.

Changes:

1.7.2 / 2011-06-02

Minor release adds color diffs for failed equality comparisons to the error message, and it fixes an issue in which class references needed the toplevel prefix (::) to ensure they can be found in all cases. Note that ANSI color diffs can be deactivated via AE.ansi = false or using the master switch an upcoming release of the ANSI gem.

Changes:

1.7.1 / 2011-05-06

This release adds a specialized message for certain comparison operators to allow them have a more forensic output. This is done via ANSI::Diff library. This release also deprecates the optional dot.rb and detest.rb emulation scripts.

Changes:

1.7.0 / 2011-04-28

AE now uses proper namespace for all classes. In particular, the Assertor class has become AE::Assertor. Only the Assertion class remains outside the AE namespace, as it is now used to map to the current exception class for raising assertions as defined by current test framework. In addition, AE’s Kernel extensions, which are used to adapt AE for use with any given test framework have been moved to the AE and AE::Assertor classes as class methods along with AE’s assertion count methods.

Changes:

1.6.1 / 2010-11-05

This release has test passing for Ruby 1.9.2. Ruby 1.9.2 doesn’t appear to like &block and block_given? to be used in same method scope. It may be a Ruby bug, nonetheless AE has been adjusted to circumvent the problem.

Changes:

1.6.0 / 2010-11-04

Support libraries defining toplevel methods, such as legacy.rb, now place their methods in AE::World module instead of Object. AE::World needs to to be included in the context desired for the testing framework used. This is important to prevent pollution of the Object namespace.

Changes:

1.5.0 / 2010-09-06

This release adds adapters for TestUnit, MiniTest and RSpec. AE worked with them previously but AE assertions were seen as errors rather than nice assertions. Likewise assertion counts were off in the final tally. These adapters insert AE’s counts so the tally are correct.

In addition to this the Assertion class itself now acts as the final end point for all assertions, which makes for a very clean interface.

Changes:

1.4.0 / 2010-09-02

Version 1.4 brings Ruby 1.9 compatibility. The Assertor class is now a subclass of BasicObject. This fixes an issues Assertor would had applying to methods defined both in a class and Kernel.

Changes:

1.3.0 / 2010-06-17

New release of AE adds support for RSpec-style matchers. This means it should be usable with Shoulda 3.0 and any other matchers library. This release also cleans up the underlying code, which is now extremely clean. Lastly a small API change allows assert to compare it’s argument to the return of it’s block using ==, just as expect does using ===.

Changes:

1.2.3 / 2010-06-07

This release is a quick fix, which adds a missing require 'yaml'.

Changes:

1.2.2 / 2010-06-06

Version 1.2.2 simply add one new feature –the ability to use ‘object.assert = other’ instead of ‘object.assert == other’. This was added simply because I found I often made the mistake of a missing ‘=’, and since assert= has no definition, there was no reason not to have behave accordingly.

Also note that I switched the license from LGPL to MIT. With regards to reusable libraries and I moving all my work, such that I am able, to MIT to maximize free usage.

Changes:

1.2.0 / 2010-01-27

This release fixes ‘=~’ assertions and now requires the ae/expect library by default.

Changes:

1.1.0 / 2009-09-06

This release provided two major improvements. The first is the expect method which is similar to assert, but uses case equality (===) for comparison. And second, an optional library ae/legacy.rb, is has been added that provides backward compatibility with Test::Unit assertions, should it be needed.

Changes:

1.0.0 / 2009-09-03

This is the initial release of AE.
