Version 0.5 (18th April 2012)

The 0.5 version is built against Scala 2.9.2 and 2.9.1, Specs2 1.9 and Spring Framework 3.1.1. As usual, download from Sonatype OSS repository and Maven Central. All you need to do now is to include the dependency in your pom.xml:

&lt;dependency&gt;
    &lt;groupId&gt;org.specs2&lt;/groupId&gt;
    &lt;artifactId&gt;spring_2.9.2&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    &lt;version&gt;0.5&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;

Version 0.4 (2nd February 2012)

0.4 follows the very short-lived maintenance release 0.3. We now include support for Spring 2.5, 3.0 and 3.1; for the latest verion of Spring, we include bean profiles and environment variables settable from the test annotations. We have also included support for raw SessionFactory and HibernateTemplate to work with the most popular ORM tool. The updates include:

Supports Spring 2.5 through 3.1, including environment values and bean profiles in 3.1,
Test data setup (using BeanTables) now works with HibernateTemplate as well as SessionFactory in Hibernate 4
The @Bean annotation’s type value is now clazz to make it usable from Scala code

Most excitingly, Specs2 Spring is now available in Sonatype OSS repository and Maven Central! All you need to do now is to include the dependency in your pom.xml:

&lt;dependency&gt;
    &lt;groupId&gt;org.specs2&lt;/groupId&gt;
    &lt;artifactId&gt;spring_2.9.1&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    &lt;version&gt;0.4&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;

To get started, download the ScalaDocs and PDF user guide. As always, keep an eye on our Specs2 Spring blog posts.

Version 0.2 (28th December 2011)

Version 0.2 is another stable-API release compabible with Specs2 1.7 and Scala 2.9.1; though it remains compatible with Specs2 1.5 and Scala 2.8.

The main features include:

Improved and tidied documentation (both PDF and Scala doc)
Better test coverage for some of the core functionality
Finalized API and the annotations for the core Spring tests
Built against Specs2 1.7 and Scala 2.9.1

It is available for download & use today; use the links at the main Specs2 Spring page to download the latest Specs2 Spring.

Version 0.1 (26th September 2011)

The Specs2 Spring core is stable—or at least the API is stable. You can start writing your tests in Specs2 Scala now and the investment will not be ruined by some strange API changes. What may—and probably will—chane are the mechanics of how the ApplicationContext is constructed, how we propagate transactional behaviour though the examples and many more.
