+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 they 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

+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 Spork isn't tied to Rails. 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.)

 needs to write such a server. ;)
