• The build system and instruction has been updated to work on OS X Lion. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• Added output to Reporter API (Aslak Hellesøy)
• Reporter.embedding takes InputStream instead of byte[], which breaks API hence the minor bump. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• [Ruby/Java] TagExpression.eval() now takes a list of Tag instead of a list of String. This slightly breaks the API (minor bump), but helps fix some bugs in Cucumber-JVM. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• [C] Allow compilation with clang (datanoise)
• [Ruby] Expose AnsiEscapes methods on the class level as well, for easy calling without inclusion (#161 Ben Woosley)

2.7.0 release got hosed

• Formatter.close no longer closes streams. (Alan Parkinson)
• Formatter.close renamed to Formatter.done. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• Pretty formatter always uses \n for newlines, instead of using platform-specific newline. This makes cross-platform testing less fiddly. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• Steps can be empty. The main reason for this is to allow Cukepatch to show an autocomplete right after a keyword. (#149 Aslak Hellesøy)

• Fix bad packaging of NuSpec package. (#148 Aslak Hellesøy)

• .NET dll is released as a NuGet package instead of being uploaded to https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin/downloads (#144, #147 Jeffrey Cameron, Aslak Hellesøy)

• The lib/gherkin.jar that goes into the JRuby gem contains json-simple and base64 classes instead of separate jars (Aslak Hellesøy)
• .NET dll, which is based on lib/gherkin.jar also contains json-simple and base64 (Aslak Hellesøy)
• gherkin jars published to Maven repo do not bundle the json-simple and base64 jars. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• IronRuby gems are no longer published. Nobody seems to be using it, and it's too much pain to test. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• [Node.js] No more restrictions about what Node.js version this runs on. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• [Java] Rename/add constants in Match and Result. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• [Java] AnsiEscapes can append to a NiceAppendable. (Aslak Hellesøy)

• Added synonyms for Portuguese. (Rodrigo Dumont)
• Added synonyms for Italian. (Alessandro Mencarini)
• Added synonyms for Spanish. (Nahuel Garbezza)
• Added synonyms for French. (Julien Biezemans)

• [Java] Omit transient fields in toMap so we have more control over what goes into JSON. (Aslak Hellesøy)

The JSON representation of features has changed. The difference lies in how Doc Strings and Data Tables are represented. Consider the following steps:

Given a Data Table:
  | Hipster | Ipsum |
  | Freegan | Vinyl |
Given a Doc String:
  """
  Hipster
  Ipsum
  """

This is now represented in JSON as:

"steps": [
  {
    "keyword": "Given ",
    "name": "a Data Table"
    "line": 5,
    "rows": [
      { "cells": ["Hipster", "Ipsum"], "line": 6 },
      { "cells": ["Freegan", "Vinyl"], "line": 7 }
    ]
  },
  {
    "keyword": "Given ",
    "name": "a Doc String"
    "line": 8,
    "doc_string": {
      "value": "Hipster\nIpsum"
      "line": 9,
      "content_type": "plaintext",
    }
  }
]

Previously it would be represented in JSON as:

"steps": [
  {
    "keyword": "Given ",
    "name": "a Data Table"
    "line": 5,
    "multiline_arg": {
      "type": "table"
      "value": [
        { "cells": ["Hipster", "Ipsum"], "line": 6 },
        { "cells": ["Freegan", "Vinyl"], "line": 7 }
      ]
    }
  },
  {
    "keyword": "Given ",
    "name": "a Doc String"
    "line": 8,
    "multiline_arg": {
      "type": "doc_string"
      "value": "Hipster\nIpsum"
      "line": 9,
      "content_type": "plaintext",
    }
  }
]
