  * use Rack::Utils.parse_query to convert query strings to hashes. Closes #872.
  * errors correctly bubble up when a controller spec in isolation mode
    requests a non-existent action/template
    * no error if either action or template exist
    * error if neither exist
    * Closes #888.

* removals
  * spec_server has been removed in favor of spork.
    * You can still use the --drb flag, but you've got to install the spork
      gem.
    * Windows users who cannot use the spork gem can install the spec_server
      from http://github.com/dchelimsky/spec_server

    Emde). Closes #870.

    (suggestion from Yehuda Katz)

      below it
