You can expect to see some point releases in the next few weeks. I'm a big fan of Ruby, and I like some of the ideas behind rspec.

Is JBehave still under active development, or have the cool kids all jumped ship to Ruby and the excellent rspec? Incidentally, I came up with an alternative approach to AgileDox which (IMO) produces more usable output if you have a large class hierarchy: http://www.kerrybuckley.com/2006/09/25/an-alternative-approach-to-creating-specs-from-junit-tests/ Thanks for making the article available – it appeared in the issue of Better Software just before I subscribed, and I’d been looking for it online.
