specs2-tests SPECS2-4.0.1

Maintenance version

Fixes

• core fixed some possible deadlock when using an implicit ExecutionEnv

SPECS2-4.0.0

Dependency-free version!

specs2-core is finally dependency-free and doesn't need to be built for various versions of Scalaz.
specs2-core is also now available for Scala.js

See the blog post for more information.

Changes

• project dropped the support for Scala 2.10
• core removed the dependency on Scalaz, there is now a specs2-fp module implementing a small amount of FP concepts
  to support the internal implementation of specs2 itself
• scalaz moved DisjunctionMatchers and ValidationMatchers to that module
• scalaz dropped the support for scalaz 7.0

Improvements

• introduced a org.specs2.specification.Retries trait extending AroundEach to retry each example
• introduced org.specs2.specification.core.OwnEnv/OwnExecutionEnv traits to isolate the execution environments of
  some specifications
• added addSections to "unit" specifications to enclose each block with section markers and allow it to be selected
  with include on the command line
• form display the actual value instead of the expected one for a Prop (this might be revisited in the future)

Fixes

• fixed the execution with stopOnXXX arguments for a sequential spec
• core the Result.foreach method must stop evaluating elements if there is an issue

specs2-tests SPECS2-3.9.4

Maintenance version (3.9.3 was incorrect)

Improvements

• core when checking for the equality of 2 sets of lines only run the edit distance difference on them if they are different.
  this improves build times

Fixes

• core set the minimum number of execution threads to 4 to avoid possible deadlocks on single core machines (cf some CI environments)
• core use the "user" execution environment to execute examples instead of specs2 own execution environment

SPECS2-3.9.2

Maintenance version

Improvements

• core display lines diffs when diffing sequences to better see the difference between 2 lists
• core better display of throwable diffs: first message diff then lines diffs for stacktraces

Fixes

• core catch failure exceptions in Executions. As a result some ScalaCheck properties were not failing #581
• core stop a specification execution if a step is a failure or an error
• forms fixed the reporting of forms (sbt + notifier + html)
• matcher-extra added implicit conversions for Double and BigDecimal to create json number matchers #582
• junit fixed the example prefixes in the xml report file #583

SPECS2-3.8.9

Maintenance version

Improvements

• project made the build TLS friendly
• core added a batchedSized(n: Int) (or unbatched) argument to control how many examples are executed concurrently at once.
  (the default is Runtime.getRuntime.availableProcessors)
• scalaz added documentation for scalaz.Task matchers #548 (thanks to Fabio Labella)
• scalaz added a Matcher to assert that a Task can fail with a specific Exception #546 (thanks to Fabio Labella)

Fixes

• core fixed retry in await helper #549 (thanks to Joao Azevedo)
• core removed all formatting for properties on ScalaCheck properties #545
• matcher array equality fix #541 (thanks to Noam Almog)
