=== New Features
* The #embed method can take a 3rd optional label argument. In the HTML report that's used for the link title. (Pat Leamon)

=== Changed Features
* Tag boolean logic is inverted. What was ORed before is now ANDed and vice versa. (#504 Aslak Hellesøy)
This makes it more practical in most cases to mix tags from profiles and the command line
In previous versions the following command line:

or the following Hook:
Before("@foo,~@bar", "@zap") (for Hooks)
would be equivalent to the boolean expression: (@foo && !@bar) || @zap

* StepDefinitionMethods is gone.
== 0.4.0 2009-10-09
The back to stable release. When we went from 0.3.11 to 0.3.90 we thought we were close to a 0.4.0 release. Then the community
went nuts and a lot of great contributions came in. Some of those broke backwards compatibility, and we decided it would be
better to do this while still on 0.3.x.
Rails users: you *must* run script/generate cucumber after installing this version.

== 0.3.102 2009-09-22
This release has some changes in the Rails support, so make sure you run "script/generate cucumber" after you upgrade.
Other noteworthy new features are improved Hook, tags and Transform support, and as always - several smaller bug fixes.
=== New Features
* Added new internal API for Regexp and groups, allowing other programming languages to leverage native regexps. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* New @allow_rescue tag for Rails scenarios. Causes exceptions raised in actions to be caught by rails and not bubble up to Cucumber (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Negative tags can now be used in hooks, just like the command line's --tags option: Before('~@yarr') - will run for all scenarios that *don't* have the @yarr tag. (Aslak Hellesøy)

* Other Transforms can be reused by calling Transform with a string inside of another Transform definition (Larry Diehl)
* Execute "After" hooks in reverse order of declaration for better behavior with dependent blocks and to mimic the behavior of at_exit (David Waite)
=== Bugfixes

* The Cucumber::Rails.use_transactional_fixtures no longer exists. Transactional fixtures are always enabled for the cucumber environment. (Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.101 2009-09-15
Two exciting things in this release. Step Argument Transforms and a PDF formatter you can use to send
your features to your customer for review!
=== New Features
* New pdf formatter (#425 Mads Buus)
* Step Argument Transforms: These let you use the Transform method to register regular expressions
to catch and transform/coerce arguments before they are yielded to step definitions:
http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/step-argument-transforms (Larry Diehl & Dave Astels)
* Adding webrat steps for asserting content does or does not exist within a particular element

== 0.3.98 2009-08-25
Just a small release to help Cuke4Duke, which will be presented at Agile2009
in 2 days.
=== New Features
* Backtrace filtering now happens in StepInvocation class, meaning other languages (Cuke4Duke) can get backtraces stripped. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Cucumber::Ast::Table#map_headers now allows for a block that will convert all the headers. See docs for details. (Ben Mabey)
== 0.3.97 2009-08-23

* The Programming Language API manages hooks on the language level instead of on the step mother level (Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.96 2009-08-15
This release doesn't have any significant new features or bug fixes, but there are big
internal changes. This release has a new API for plugging in other programming languages.
You can read more about that here: http://groups.google.com/group/cukes/browse_thread/thread/b9db8bf1f3ec9708
This might break other tools that are using Cucumber's internal APIs. For example Spork broke and had to
be patched. Please upgrade to Spork 0.5.9 if you are using Spork.
=== New Features
* Ability to preload natural language in Spork's prefork. Rerun script/generate cucumber --spork to see how. (Aslak Hellesøy)

== 0.3.95 2009-08-13
This release improves Webrat support for table-like HTML markup. Now you can easily turn the HTML
elements table, dl, ol and ul elements into a 2D array. This is particularly useful for comparing
data in your HTML with a Cucumber table using Cucumber::Ast::Table#diff!
This release also fixes several bugs related to --drb (Spork) and profiles (cucumber.yml)
=== Bug Fixes
* --guess will always prefer the longest regexp with no groups if they exist.
* Prevent delays if a NoMethodError is raise in a step definition. Define a light #inspect in World. (#374 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Restore 'features' as the default feature running path. (#412 Ben Mabey)
* --drb degrades gracefully when no drb server is running and no formatter is provided. (#410 Ben Mabey)
* --language picked up from profiles again. (#409 Ben Mabey)
* Resolved infinite loop problem when --drb was defined in a profile. (#408 Ben Mabey)
=== New Features
* Cucumber::World#table has been overloaded to work with 2D Array in addition to a table String to be parsed.
* New When /^I fill in the following:$/ step definition for Webrat. Useful for filling out a form with a Table. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* The object returned by element_at (Webrat::Element) has a #to_table that works for table, dl, ol and ul. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* An explanation of why failures are ok is printed when --wip is used. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Added cucumber alias for cucumber:ok in Rails Rake tasks. (Aslak Hellesøy)
=== Changed features
* element_at('table').to_table should be used instead of table_at('table').to_a. The old way is deprecated but still works. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* element_at (and the depracated table_at) no longer takes a DOM id, only CSS selectors. Change "my_id" to "#my_id". (Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.94 2009-08-06
Kanban take II.
Release 0.3.6 introduced a new --wip switch that can be used to limit work in progress
(WIP). Limiting WIP is central for Kanban Software Development (http://www.infoq.com/articles/hiranabe-lean-agile-kanban).
However, this feature went mostly unnoticed, and because we think it's so great we have decided
to make it the default for Rails projects. When you bootstrap your Rails project for Cucumber
you will now get 2 Cucumber Rake tasks for Kanban development:
cucumber:ok : Run features that should pass. This runs your "good,old" features
cucumber:wip : Run the features you're working on that don't pass yet. Tag them with @wip. Max 2!
So upgrade today and get into the habit of tagging new features with @wip (or invent your own tags).
You'll achieve better flow this way.
=== New features
* Support limiting the number of feature elements with certain tags (#353 Joseph Wilk)
* script/generate cucumber sets up 'cucumber:ok' and 'cucumber:wip' tasks and deprecates 'features'. More Kanban love. (#344 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Better JUnit formatter: feature->testsuite, scenario->testcase. Better timing and support for background and scenario outline. (Mads Buus Westmark)
* Added examples/python that uses rubypython. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Checks the number of available colors on the terminal with ruby-terminfo if ruby-terminfo is installed.
This prevents Apple's Terminal.app from stalling (Yugui - Yuki Sonoda).
* Set 'xterm-256color' to TERM if your terminal supports grey.
* ruby-terminfo is available as genki-ruby-terminfo gem from github.
* Document builtin formatters with --help. (#406 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Added support for using regular expressions when mapping table headers. (Peter Williams)
== 0.3.93 2009-08-03
Highlights in this release: Improved profile handling (cucumber.yml) and a fix for cucumber hanging.
=== New features
* script/generate cucumber --spork now sets up a spork gem dependency in the cucumber.rb environment. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Feature files defined on the command line override any that are present in profiles. (#344 Ben Mabey)
* Default (STDOUT) formatter defined in profile can be overridden from the command line. (#344 Ben Mabey)
* Displays which profile, if any, is being used. (Ben Mabey)
* click_link_within(parent, link) webrat step (Joakim Kolsjö)
=== Bugfixes
* script/cucumber correctly loads the gem's binary if the plugin isn't installed.
* Cucumber hangs waiting for Ctrl+C if an Error is raised. (#374 Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.92 2009-07-29
This release has some minor improvements to the new Table.diff! functionality. For example,
if you're using Webrat and you want to compare a feature table with a HTML table containing
links in one of the columns, you can do:
actual = Cucumber::Ast::Table.new(table_at('table').to_a)
actual.map_column!('Name') { |text| text.strip.match(/>(.*)</)[1] }
table.diff!(actual)
=== New features
* Allow Step Definitions to accept mix of required & optional args (Niels Ganser)
* table_a.diff!(table_b) now uses column conversions from both tables (Table#map_column!) (Aslak Hellesøy)
=== Bugfixes
* Upgrade Sinatra example to work with rack-test 0.3.0 and aslakhellesoy-webrat 0.4.4.1 (Aslak Hellesøy)
* require 'cucumber/webrat/table_locator' added to Spork environment for Rails (Anders Furseth)
=== Changed Features
* The 'default' profile is now ALWAYS used unless you specify another profile or use the -P or --no-profile flag. (#344 Ben Mabey)
== 0.3.91 2009-07-27
=== New Features
* CTRL-C will exit immediately instead of carrying on until all features are run. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Run can be stopped programmatically by setting $cucumber_interrupted = true, for example in an After block. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Support limiting the number of feature elements with certain tags (#353 Joseph Wilk)
* Table support for cuke4duke
== 0.3.90 2009-07-22
The Hot summer release
This is a hot summer in Norway, and Cucumbers are growing in abundance. To celebrate this we give you
a new release with lots of new features and bugfixes. This is also one of the last releases in the 0.3 series
(hence the 0.3.90 number), so 0.4 (or maybe 1.0!) will be coming up soon. The highlights of this release are:
=== Egality
English is not the world's most spoken language, so why should Cucumber force non-English speakers to use the
--language flag? As of this release you're no longer forced to do that. Instead, you can add a comment header
to your .feature files:
# language: fr
# Cucumber understands that this is French
Fonctionnalité: Trou de boulette
If you don't have that header, Cucumber will work as before - using whatever you specified with --language,
or default to English if no --language option was specified. A nice side effect of this is that you can now
have features in several languages side by side and run them in the same cucumber. (Not recommended unless
you want to take polyglot programming to an extreme level).
=== Table diffing (experimental)
When you pass a table as an argument to your Then steps you often want to compare that table
to some actual values. In previous releases you had to iterate over the table's values and manually
compare each row using cell.should equal('foo') or assert_equal('foo', cell). If a discrepancy was found
you'd get an error, but it was hard to see how the entire expected data set was different from the actual one.
With this release you have a much more powerful way to compare expected tables with actual data. An
Ast::Table object now has a new #diff!(table) method that you can invoke in your step definitions
that take table arguments. If the table you pass in is different from the expected table (from your
plain text step), Cucumber will print the difference for each of the row or column and fail your step.
The Table#diff! method expects an Array of Array, Array of Hash (similar to what you'd get from table#hashes)
or simply another Ast::Table object. Here is a simple example:
Then /^I should see the following cukes:$/ do |expected_cukes_table|
actual_table = ... # For example [['Latin', 'English'], ['Cucumis sativus', 'Cucumber'], ['Cucumis anguria', 'Burr Gherkin']]
expected_cukes_table.diff!(actual_table)
end
As an extra bonus we provide Webrat users with a new #table_at(selector) method that you can use to transform
an HTML table into an Array of Array, so that you can easily compare the contents of your HTML table to
expected data passed to a step. Here is an example:
Then /^I should see the following cukes:$/ do |expected_cukes_table|
expected_cukes_table.diff!(table_at('#cuke_table').to_a)
end
You can do the same trick to compare data from a Rails ActiveRecord table (although this is not a
recommended practice - your Then steps should compare against what users *see*, not what's in the
database):
# This requires that you use the column names in the header of the plain text expected table
Then /^I should have the following cukes in the database:$/ do |expected_cukes_table|
expected_cukes_table.diff!(Cuke.find(:all).map(&attributes))
end
=== Environment variables
Another useful new feature is the ability to define environment variables on Cucumber's command line (just
like you can with Rake). Example:
cucumber FOO=BAR --format progress features
You can now pick up ENV['FOO'] in ruby (for example in env.rb) and take actions according to the value,
for example enabling your super hack that validates all HTTP responses for XHTML validity.
This release also has several bugfixes related to --format and Before/After hooks.
=== Bugfixes
* Fix some misspellings which affect test fail for Korean example (#373 Dongju Kim)
* Make it possible to write non-localized step definitions (#377 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Table cells containing unicode are rendered incorrectly (#386 Stefan Kanev)
* Before and After hooks run after everything is finished when there are 2+ --format options (#371 Aslak Hellesøy)
* When using --out and two --format the first is not delivered inline with execution of features (#361 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Profile Formatter broken (#370 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Default profile usage with --drb flag degrades gracefully with no server. (#367 Ben Mabey)
* JUnit formatter uses original file name instead of narrative to avoid accidental duplicate XML files (Aslak Hellesøy)
* rake gems no longer lists cucumber as a [F]ramework gem (David Chelimsky)
* CLI issues correct exit code when using --drb. Requires Spork version >= 0.5.1. (#355 Ben Mabey)

* Fixed bug with rake task raising errors with feature files with spaces (#380 Joseph Wilk)
=== New Features
* I should see should support regexes (#382 John Ferlito)
* Access to scenario outline name from After hook scenario parameter (#342 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Allow multiple --tags switches to be passed
* Load step definitions from vendored gems and plugins (#388 Mike Burns)
* New --format steps formatter. Variant of the usage formatter that lists available step definitions (Demetrius Nunes)
* Possibility to specify scenario language as part of the .feature file (#345 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Support specifying environment variables using foo=bar syntax on command line or in profiles (#362 Bryan Helmkamp)
* Display failing scenarios at the end of pretty format to make it easier for people to play them back (#360 Ryan Bigg)
=== Changed Features
* When using --tags, positive tags are &&'ed while negative tags are ||'ed (John Wilger)
* The data returned from Table#hashes and similar methods are frozen. Dup if you need to modify. (Aslak Hellesøy)

== 0.3.11 2009-06-05
This release just fixes a tiny bug in the formatter to fix an incompatibility
with the latest RedMine release. It should have been included in 0.3.10, but
was forgotten.
=== Bugfixes
* Formatter API was broken in 0.3.9 (Roman Chernyatchik)
== 0.3.10 2009-06-05
The Spork Release!
This release has an exciting new feature - a new --drb switch! This magic switch lets you run your
features much faster than before, because you can eliminate the startup time for your code. This is
thanks to a brand new gem called Spork by Tim Harper and Ben Mabey. (You can find out more about Spork
here: http://github.com/timcharper/spork/tree/master). You can start Spork and have it preload your
application in a separate process. Spork listens for DRb connections, and when you run cucumber with
--drb the features will run inside the Spork server instead. Spork provides two simple hooks for preloading
your application - one for framework/stable code (Spork.prefork) and one for the code that *you* write and
change often (Spork.each_run). Keep in mind that all World, Before, and other Cucumber hooks need to be
in the Spork.each_run block. Using Spork works great for Ruby on Rails, which can take a while to load,
but --drb and Spork aren't tied to Rails at all. The new --drb switch also works great alongside autotest
(just add --drb to your autotest profile in cucumber.yml), so now you can get even faster feedback.
Cucumber's built-in cucumber generator now has a new --spork switch, so when you bootstrap your Rails
application for cucumber, you can have spork configuration set up out of the box. (It's just a
slightly different env.rb.)
Although Spork was in mind when the --drb switch was added it is important to realize that all that was added
to Cucumber was a DRb client. Any DRb server that adheres to this protocol can be used with Cucumber's --drb
switch. While Spork is geared towards removing the load time to give you a faster feedback loop you could
just as easily use this client with a server that distributes your features to run in parallel. Someone just
needs to write such a server. ;)
This release also has some minor bugfixes related to RSpec and Rails interop.
=== Bugfixes
* RSpec's be_* matchers did not work in 0.3.9 and probably earlier versions. Now they do. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* The Rails cucumber environment won't declare gem dependencies if the plugin exists. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* The Rails cucumber generator will no longer declare gem dependencies on rspec if you use --testunit. (Aslak Hellesøy)
=== New features
* Spork support via --drb. (Ben Mabey)
* Added a Ast::Feature#name method for convenience. (Aslak Hellesøy)
=== Changed features
* The HTML formatter wraps examples in a div, and distinguishes between Scenario and Scenario Outline. (Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.9 2009-05-27
Bugfix release for 0.3.8 released earlier today. 0.3.8 had a bug in the Rails cucumber
generator which is fixed in 0.3.9.
=== Bugfixes
* Fix broken Rails cucumber generator (Tim Glen)
* The Cucumber Rake task in non-fork mode will properly cause Rake to exit with 1 when Cucumber fails. (Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.8 2009-05-27
This Cucumber version fixes several bugs related to Ruby on Rails and RSpec. If you
use Cucumber with a Rails app we *strongly* recommend you bootstrap Cucumber again:
ruby script/generate cucumber
=== New Features
* Rails cucumber generator sets up default gem dependencies in cucumber environment.
* The duration of a run is reported by formatters - same format as the Linux time command (#228 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Scenario and ExampleRow objects (passed to Before and After hooks) have #name and #line methods (#316 Aslak Hellesøy)
* Rails generator creates a cucumber environment file to avoid potential cache_classes conflicts in test.rb (#165, Ben Mabey)
* HTML formatter renders @tags (but the CSS is still ugly)
=== Removed/changed features
* The Cucumber Rake task will again fork by default (as 0.3.3 and earlier). Forking must be turned off explicitly. (Aslak Hellesøy)
=== Bugfixes
* Better coexistence with RSpec - Cucumber now *neuters* the part of RSpec that tries to parse ARGV.
* The differ= exception is gone (#325, #340 Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.7 2009-05-22
This is the "Help JetBrains RubyMine" release!
=== New Features
* Added new Given alias for Catalan: Donat|Donada (Lleïr Borràs Metje)
* New --expand option. This will print Scenario Outlines once for each Example row - with values expanded. (#327 Aslak Hellesøy)
* You can override the formatter in Rails-generated rake tasks with the CUCUMBER_FORMAT environment variable (#335 Aslak Hellesøy)
=== Bugfixes
* 'specs' folder needs to be renamed back to 'spec' (#339 Aslak Hellesøy)
* CUCUMBER_OPTS doesn't work for cucumber rake tasks (#336 Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.6 2009-05-20
Kanban! With this release you can tag features or scenarios that are work in progress
with a tag and use the new --wip switch.
Another handy feature in this release is that you can package your own formatters in RubyGems.
=== New features
* New --wip switch. See http://www.jroller.com/perryn/entry/bdd_on_a_multi_disciplined (Perryn Fowler)
* Added a AfterStep hook (Luke Melia)
* New aliases for Vietnamese (Ngoc Dao)
* Automatic require of custom formatters. --require is no longer needed to load them, and they can be in Ruby gems. (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Lazy loading of built-in formatters. Should improve startup time a little bit.
=== Bugfixes
* Gracefully handle exceptions in After block (#330 Matt Wynne)
* Feature with only Background doesn't run hooks (#314, #329 Aslak Hellesøy)
== 0.3.5 2009-05-14
Let's make a new release today because two annoying bugs are fixed.
=== Bugfixes
* Allow feature element names to contain Gherkin keywords as long as they are not the first word on a newline (#319, #307 Joseph Wilk)
== 0.3.4 2009-05-14
A couple of great new features in this release. Running with Rake is faster than before,
and there is a brand new JUnit formatter - great for Continuous Integration reports!
This release was made especially for the Oslo XP Meetup today.
** IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES FOR RAILS USERS **
Running Cucumber features in the same Ruby interpreter as Rake doesn't seem to work,
so you have to explicitly tell the task to fork (like it was doing by default in prior
versions). In lib/tasks/cucumber.rake:
Cucumber::Rake::Task.new(:features) do |t|
t.fork = true # Explicitly fork
t.cucumber_opts = %w{--format pretty}
end
(If you run script/generate cucumber this will be done for you).
Alternatively you can omit forking and run features like this:
RAILS_ENV=test rake cucumber
However, setting the RAILS_ENV is easy to forget, so I don't recommend relying on this.
=== Bugfixes
* Hooks (World, Before, After) are no longer executed when --dry-run (Aslak Hellesøy)
* Proper UTF8 use in HTML formatter (Herminio Torres)
* Problem with multiple terms in languages.yml (#321 Aslak Hellesøy)
=== New features
* New JUnit formatter (Gareth Jones)
* Support for Vietnamese (Ngoc Dao)
* Added aliases for Feature and But in Japanese (Leonard Chin)
* Support for Catalan (Francesc Esplugas)
