This is a bug fix release and a way forward to the 1.2 release which is now current master.

The planned route for upgrading from merb 1.1.x to 1.2 will involve changes which may break existing merb apps. Fear not, fixes for apps broken by 1.2 should be trivial. Please be sure to read RELEASE 1.2.0 for the details regarding usage of the upcoming 1.2 release.

• Spec fixes to get more green and 1.8.x compat

• Support for testing controller with Webrat directly from the specs. For this to work you need to the spec_helper.rb this (If you use cucumber this doesn’t concern you.):
  

  Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
  	config.include(Merb::Test::Webrat)
  end
