@pwendell that is of course a fair stance which I understand.
Regarding the scalatest library, there were a lot of changes in the 2.x
release, but most of the existing 1.x tests should still run with scalatest
2.1.5. In particular, what's noteworthy mainly that I would like to see this in
is that they have a build for Scala 2.11. The rationale being that we will
eventually want to cross compile with Scala 2.11, which means its inevitable
that we will in anyways be required to raise this dependency version so long as
we wish to use scalatest as our testing framework. That's an unfortunate
drawback when depending on a scala library, that we must also depend on when
they build for a particular Scala version :-(
So long as the test suite all passes, is there any reason why we would not
want to bump scalatest up?
