Minitest 5:

• 4 deaths in the family:

• 12 major (oft incompatible) changes:

  • Renamed MiniTest to Minitest. Your pinkies will thank me. (aliased to MiniTest)

  • Removed MiniTest::Unit entirely. No more manager objects.

  • Added Minitest::Runnable. Everything minitest can run subclasses this.

  • Renamed MiniTest::Unit::TestCase to Minitest::Test (subclassing Runnable).

  • Moved Test to minitest/test.rb

  • Moved everything else in minitest/unit.rb to minitest.rb

• 11 other:

This is probably the last release of the 4.x series. It will be merged to ruby and will be put into maintenance mode there.
