  "textContent": "minitest version 6.0.3 has been released!\n\n* home: <https://minite.st/&gt;\n* code: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest&gt;\n* bugs: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/issues&gt;\n* rdoc: <https://docs.seattlerb.org/minitest&gt;\n* clog: <https://github.com/minitest/minitest/blob/master/History.rdoc&gt;\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\nallowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were\npaired up and we cracked open the code for a few test\nframeworks...\n\nI MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable\ncompared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and\nthank 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\nframework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!\"\n\n-- Piotr Szotkowski\n\nComparing to rspec:\n\nrspec 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### 6.0.3 / 2026-03-31\n\n* 1 bug fix:\n\n* assert_same(nil, value) no longer allowed. Use assert_nil to be explicit.
