Description

The included patch updates the Ruby library to utilized RSpec 2.10.1. This required some refactoring of the actual specs as they were extending from ExampleGroup, which as far as I can tell is not supported in RSpec 2. There were also a few other changes I had to make to get the specs working, but I believe they maintain the original intent of all specs. There's likely additional clean up and trimming that can be done, but that should happen separately.
