* Extracts the `mock_model` and `stub_model` methods to the
`rspec-activemodel-mocks` gem. (Thomas Holmes)

in the default generated `spec_helper.rb`. (Xavier Shay, Myron Marston)
* `controller` macro in controller specs no longer mutates
`:described_class` metadata. It still overrides the subject and sets
the controller, though. (Myron Marston)

enabled by default. (Thomas Holmes)

(Andy Lindeman)
### 2.99.0 / 2014-06-01

No changes. Just taking it out of pre-release.
### 2.99.0.rc1 / 2014-05-18

Deprecations
* Deprecates `stub_model` and `mock_model` in favor of the
`rspec-activemodel-mocks` gem. (Thomas Holmes)
* Issue a deprecation to instruct users to configure
`config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location!` during the
upgrade process since spec type inference is opt-in in 3.0.
(Jon Rowe)
* Issue a deprecation when `described_class` is accessed in a controller
example group that has used the `controller { }` macro to generate an
anonymous controller class, since in 2.x, `described_class` would
return that generated class but in 3.0 it will continue returning the
class passed to `describe`. (Myron Marston)
### 2.99.0.beta2 / 2014-02-17
[Full Changelog](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/compare/v2.99.0.beta1...v2.99.0.beta2)
Deprecations:
* Deprecates the `--webrat` option to the scaffold and request spec generator (Andy Lindeman)

instead. (Andy Lindeman)
Bug Fixes:
* Use `__send__` rather than `send` to prevent naming collisions (Bradley Schaefer)
* Supports Rails 4.1. (Andy Lindeman)
* Loads ActiveSupport properly to support changes in Rails 4.1. (Andy Lindeman)

in all of `rails` to use `rspec-rails`. (John Firebaugh)

[Full Changelog](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/compare/v2.10.1...v2.11.0)
