Spectrum changelog

Changelog History

• v1.2.0 Changes

  September 01, 2017

  🚀 This release resolves #115, where the Variable object had unexpected behavior in cases where there were multiple threads in the same test. PR #118 simplifies the implementation such that Variable and let() values can be shared across threads just like any other pointer.

  With 1.2.0, using Spectrum with libraries such as Awaitility and Unirest is much more straightforward.

  Thanks to @mxk1235, @bjornblomqvist, and @ashleyfrieze for help on this!

• v1.0.2 Changes

  February 28, 2017

  Spectrum is now available on Maven Central! This much-requested feature will make it even easier to start using Spectrum for your project.

  Gradle:

  testCompile 'com.greghaskins:spectrum:1.0.2'
  

  Maven:

  \<dependency\> \<groupId\>com.greghaskins\</groupId\> \<artifactId\>spectrum\</artifactId\> \<version\>1.0.2\</version\> \<scope\>test\</scope\> \</dependency\>
  

  🚀 The 1.0.2 version bump does not add or change any functionality from 1.0.0; it consists only of changes to pom.xml and deployment scripts required to get Spectrum onto Sonatype's OSSRH.
