new instances of classes with default databases will now use those databases

cleaned up mattly.monome such that you can change ports and prefix, also added bpatcher for instant UI

#update_attributes now lets you clobber timestamps, for better or worse; this brings us one step closer to being able to recreate an object from its #to_json output hopefully

version bump

don't pass empty strings to Time.parse when casting a key as a Time object

use iso8601 for time's json format; better dealing of string primitives that might need some kind of transformation (*cough* time *cough*) before they get transformed to JSON for saving, this should also catch input that doesn't jive with the desired casting

stuff for 1.9 compatibility

tests ported to minitest (see README); now fully-compatible with ruby 1.9

use full description stack in the name of a class for the describe block to allow descendents of describe blocks to have the same name as other describe blocks elsewhere in the describe block tree

allow must_include and wont_include to work with string expectations

really get rid of test methods defined in cascading describe blocks

include the describe block's description in the test method name, makes for better reading in the output
