Specter is back. It is a behavior-driven development framework for the CLI, powered by Boo meta-programming capabilities.
This release makes it work with recent Boo releases and introduces new features including standalone spec runners and a new 'subject' macro.

Rodrigo made a talk on Boo at Mono Summit 2007 in Madrid which got very good feedback. He shared his impressions on his blog along with the slides and some examples of the new meta-programming features newly available on Boo 0.8
Also, it is worthy to note Rodrigo made reference to the new Specter object-behaviour specification framework, another great project powered by Boo.
