Dear Grails community,

I'm very happy to announce the release of Spock 0.4. Highlights of this release:

• Grails plugin supporting both Grails 1.2 and 1.3
• Support for JUnit Rules (Show in Spock Web Console)  
• Greatly improved mocking support
• Beautiful table syntax for data-driven specs (Show in Spock Web Console)
• Filtering of spec classes and methods     
• Stepwise execution of specs (Show in Spock Web Console)
• Generic configuration mechanism for extensions
• Utility classes for spec'ing multi-threaded code
• Improved Spring, Guice, and Tapestry IoC extensions    
• Unitils extension
• Many other improvements and bug fixes    

To install the Grails plugin, type 'grails install-plugin spock 0.4-groovy-1.6' for Grails 1.2 or 'grails install-plugin 0.4-groovy-1.7' for Grails 1.3. For further information, see the plugin homepage.   

Over the coming days, the Spock blog will offer an in-depth look at several of the new features in Spock 0.4. Don't miss this!

Last but not least, let me express my thanks to all our supporters inside and outside the Groovy and Grails communities.

Happy spec'ing!

Peter
