Full Changelog

Breaking Changes for 3.0.0:

• Extracts the mock_model and stub_model methods to the rspec-activemodel-mocks gem. (Thomas Holmes)
• Spec types are no longer inferred by location, they instead need to be explicitly tagged. The old behaviour is enabled by config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location!, which is still supplied in the default generated spec_helper.rb. (Xavier Shay, Myron Marston)
• 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)

Enhancements:

• Supports Rails 4.x reference attribute ids in generated scaffold for view specs. (Giovanni Cappellotto)

• Fix incorrect namespacing of anonymous controller routes. (Aaron Kromer)

Full Changelog

Breaking Changes for 3.0.0:

• Removes the --webrat option for the request spec generator (Andy Lindeman)

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.
