+=== Version 1.1.5
+
+IMPORTANT: use 'script/autospec' (or just 'autospec' if you have the rspec gem
+installed) instead of 'autotest'. We changed the way autotest discovers rspec
+so the autotest executable won't automatically load rspec anymore. This allows
+rspec to live side by side other spec frameworks without always co-opting
+autotest through autotest's discovery mechanism.
+
+ALSO IMPORTANT: Rails v2.1.1 changed assert_select_rjs such that it doesn't
+always fail when it should. Please see
+http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/982.
+
+* Generated route specs have shorter names, making it less painful to modify their implementation
+* Add conditional so Rails 2.1.0 doesn't warn about cache_template_extensions (patch from James Herdman)
+* Fixed stub_model examples to work with Rails 2.1.0 (the code was fine, just the examples needed patching)
+* use hoe for build/release
+* reworked generated examples for rspec_scaffold - thanks to Mikel Lindsaar and Dan Manges for their feedback
+* bye, bye translator
+* Added proxy to cookies so you can set them in examples the same way you set them in controllers
+* Added script/autospec so you can run autospec without installing the gem
+* Support --skip-fixture in the rspec_model generator (patches from Alex Tomlins and Niels Ganser)
+* Add mock_model#as_new_record (patch from Zach Dennis)
+* mock(:null_object=>true) plays nice with HTML (patch from Gerrit Kaiser)
+* Suppress a deprecation notice in Rails 2.1 (James Herdman)
+* quiet deprecation warning on inflector (RSL)
+* rspec-rails gem (Ben Mabey)
+* updated generated code examples
+* Make rspec_model generator honour --skip-fixtures tag (Niels Ganser, Alex Tomlins)
+* Fix to create new models with attributes in command line (Nicolas)
+* fix to_param in mock_model with stubbed id incorrectly returning autogenerated id (Adam Meehan)
+* Call Rail's TestCase setup/teardown callbacks (Jonathan del Strother)
+* Only run TestUnitTesting once (Jonathan del Strother)
+* use require_dependency instead of require (Brandon Keepers)
+* Fixed a problem caused by controller action names getting out of sync between rspec-dev and rspec-rails for speccing (Matt Patterson)
+* don't mutate hash passed to mock_model (Reg Vos)
+
+=== Version 1.1.4
+
+Maintenance release.
+
+* Moved mock_model and stub_model to their own module: Spec::Rails::Mocks
+* Setting mock_model object id with stubs hash - patch from Adam Meehan
+* Added as_new_record to stub_model e.g. stub_model(Foo).as_new_record
+* Improved stub_model such that new_record? does "the right thing"
+* Patch from Pat Maddox to get integrate_views to work in nested example groups.
+* Patch from Pat Maddox to get controller_name to work in nested example groups.
+* Patch from Corey Haines to add include_text matcher
+* Added stub_model method which creates a real model instance with :id stubbed and data access prohibited.
+* Applied patch from Pat Maddox to handle redirect_to w/ SSL. Closes #320.
+* Added #helper and #assigns to helper specs.
+* Applied patch from Bryan Helmkamp to tweak format of generated spec.opts to be more obvious. Closes #162.
+* Tweaked list of exceptions (ignores) for autotest
+* Applied patch from Rick Olson to get rspec_on_rails working with rails edge (>= 8862)
+* Applied patch from Wincent Colaiuta to invert sense of "spec --diff". Closes #281.
+* Allow any type of render in view specs. Closes #57.
+* Applied patch from Ian White to get rspec working with edge rails (8804). Closes #271.
+* Applied patch from Jon Strother to have spec_server reload fixtures. Closes #344.

+= Spec::Rails
+
+* http://rspec.info
+* http://rspec.info/rdoc-rails/

+* mailto:rspec-devel@rubyforge.org
+
+== DESCRIPTION:
+
+Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby on Rails.
+
+Spec::Rails (a.k.a. RSpec on Rails) is a Ruby on Rails plugin that allows you
+to drive the development of your RoR application using RSpec, a framework that
+aims to enable Example Driven Development in Ruby.
+
+== FEATURES:
+
+* Use RSpec to independently specify Rails Models, Views, Controllers and Helpers
+* Integrated fixture loading
+* Special generators for Resources, Models, Views and Controllers that generate Specs instead of Tests.
+
+== VISION:
+
+For people for whom TDD is a brand new concept, the testing support built into
+Ruby on Rails is a huge leap forward. The fact that it is built right in is
+fantastic, and Ruby on Rails apps are generally much easier to maintain than
+they might have been without such support.
+
+For those of us coming from a history with TDD, and now BDD, the existing
+support presents some problems related to dependencies across examples. To
+that end, RSpec on Rails supports 4 types of examples. We’ve also built in
+first class mocking and stubbing support in order to break dependencies across
+these different concerns.
+
+== MORE INFORMATION:
+
+See Spec::Rails::Runner for information about the different kinds of example
+groups you can use to spec the different Rails components
+
+See Spec::Rails::Expectations for information about Rails-specific
+expectations you can set on responses and models, etc.
+
+== INSTALL
+
+* Visit http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails/wikis for installation instructions.
