ANN: RSpactor 0.9.21
RSpactor is slowly heading towards 1.0 and the 0.9.21 drop is the last (feature) milestone before reaching that goal. I tried to address most of the issues people where asking for. Thank you all for your ongoing support!
So whats shiny and new?
- - Added an output-view that collects RSpec’s STDOUT and STDERR
- - Added a tabbar to switch between Dashboard, Output and SpecView
- - Added an icon badge that shows the current count of failed specs in the dock
- - More viewport style polishing
If you already have a running RSpactor it will automatically ask for the 0.9.21 release. If not, download the image from here.
Please post bugs and stuff like that at Lighthouse or come to the Group if you want to discuss something..

This is a great little tool. Thanks!
I was using autotest with growl notify but this is a much more elegant method. Plus it seems to consume a little less CPU time when idle than autotest, which is a nice bonus.
If I could make a suggestion - it would be really nice if there was a menu option inside the app for creating the symlink in order to run the app from the command line, rather than having to do it manually. Something like how textmate handles the same problem.
I'll take a look at the source code and see if I can figure it out.
Thanks again!

Well I had a look at the source but got a bit lost! I was expecting to see some Objective C which would have been perfect for me as I'm currently learning Cocoa and Objective C. I didn't realise you'd written this in Ruby Cocoa.
I fear learning Ruby Cocoa at the same time as Objective C may be more than my poor brain can handle! I'm struggling enough finding the time for learning just one!
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this project though. It looks really promising.
