Full Changelog

Breaking Changes for 3.0.0:

• Extracts the mock_model and stub_model methods to the rspec-activemodel-mocks gem. (Thomas Holmes)

• controller macro in controller specs no longer mutates :described_class metadata. It still overrides the subject and sets the controller, though. (Myron Marston)

• Removes runtime dependency on ActiveModel. (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas)

Full Changelog

Breaking Changes for 3.0.0:

Deprecations

• Issue a deprecation when described_class is accessed in a controller example group that has used the controller { } macro to generate an anonymous controller class, since in 2.x, described_class would return that generated class but in 3.0 it will continue returning the class passed to describe. (Myron Marston)

2.99.0.beta2 / 2014-02-17
