  "textContent": "minitest version 6.0.2 has been released!\n\n* home: <https://minite.st/>;\n* code: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest>;\n* bugs: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/issues>;\n* rdoc: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest>;\n* clog: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/blob/master/History.rdoc>;\n\nminitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting\nTDD, BDD, and benchmarking.\n\n    \"I had a class with Jim Weirich on testing last week and we were\n     allowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were\n     paired up and we cracked open the code for a few test\n     frameworks...\n\n     I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable\n     compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and\n     thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity.\"\n\n    -- Wayne E. Seguin\n\nminitest/test is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework.\nIt provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and\nreadable.\n\nminitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto\nminitest/test and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec\nexpectations.\n\nminitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your\nalgorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb\nco-worker doesn't replace your linear algorithm with an exponential\none!\n\nminitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test\noutput. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too.\n\nminitest/test is meant to have a clean implementation for language\nimplementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working\ntest suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case\ndiscovery.\n\n    \"Again, I can't praise enough the idea of a testing/specing\n     framework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!\"\n\n    -- Piotr Szotkowski\n\nComparing to rspec:\n\n    rspec is a testing DSL. minitest is ruby.\n\n    -- Adam Hawkins, \"Bow Before MiniTest\"\n\nminitest doesn't reinvent anything that ruby already provides, like:\nclasses, modules, inheritance, methods. This means you only have to\nlearn ruby to use minitest and all of your regular OO practices like\nextract-method refactorings still apply.\n\n## Features/Problems:\n\n* minitest/autorun - the easy and explicit way to run all your tests.\n* minitest/test - a very fast, simple, and clean test system.\n* minitest/spec - a very fast, simple, and clean spec system.\n* minitest/benchmark - an awesome way to assert your algorithm's performance.\n* minitest/pride - show your pride in testing!\n* minitest/test_task - a full-featured and clean rake task generator.\n* Incredibly small and fast runner, but no bells and whistles.\n* Written by squishy human beings. Software can never be perfect. We will all eventually die.\n\nChanges:\n\n### 6.0.2 / 2026-02-23\n\n* 7 bug fixes:\n\n  * Added missing drb dependency from minitest-server. (y-yagi)\n  * Cleaned up bisect's sub-commands to load files directly, not ruby+require.\n  * Fixed bisect to use same cmd ($0) to run tests as original invocation.\n  * load server_plugin if server is loaded. (y-yagi)\n  * Manipulate local args instead of ARGV in Sprint.run.\n  * Only show --bisect in usage if using minitest.\n  * Remove -Itest:lib from bisect's rb_flags since bin/minitest adds them.\n\n··· (click for more details)",
