ScalaTest Release Notes

ScalaTest 1.9.2 is a stepping-stone to help pave the way to upgrade from ScalaTest 1.9.1 to ScalaTest 2.0. Other than a few deprecations that were coming in 2.0 anyway, 1.9.2 removes the dependency on the deprecated Scala actors library, and refactors the ScalaTest style traits into classes.

Enhancements

Removed the dependency on the old Scala actors library
Refactored style traits into a style class/style trait pair. The style trait for class X is now named XLike, i.e., FunSuite is now a class and FunSuiteLike the trait.

Deprecations and removals

Deprecated expectResult in favor of assertResult in org.scalatest.Assertions.
Deprecated MustMatchersForJUnit in favor of ShouldMatchersForJUnit in package org.scalatest.junit.
Deprecated Specs in favor of Suites in package org.scalatest.
Added shouldEqual to org.scalatest.matchers.ShouldMatchers.
Deprecated "be === " matcher syntax in favor of shouldEqual.
Deprecated MustMatchers in favor of ShouldMatchers in package org.scalatest.matchers. This will be a good, long deprecation cycle, during which MustMatchers will continue to work as before. But eventually MustMatchers will be removed from ScalaTest, after which must will later return to serve a different purpose.
Removed long-deprecated Spec (renamed FunSpec), and the long-deprecated MultipleFixture* traits in org.scalatest.fixture.
