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.
Full changelog and links here.
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.
This release includes bug fixes, performance improvements and better
meta-programming capabilities (1).
Special thanks to Marcus Griep, Nick Fortune and Matt McElheny!

Two new template engines have recently emerged in the boo community: Stub and BooTE.
Stub is written in 100% Boo and is loosely based on Ruby's ERB utility. Stub can be used for any text generation task; from creating form letters, to generating SQL queries, and, (X)HTML.
BooTE is also based on Ruby's ERB and is useful for preprocessing XML files.
We're moving forward on generics support for boo. Check our progress.
A beta version of a Neo plugin for SharpDevelop with support
for Boo is out. You can get it here.
The initial release of Webness introduces the agility of Rails to .NET.
After a long wait boo 0.7.6 is here!
