Spectrum 1.2.0: Simpler support for multi-threaded specs

This release resolves #115, where the Variable object had unexpected behavior in cases where there were multiple threads in the same test. PR #118 simplifies the implementation such that Variable and let() values can be shared across threads just like any other pointer.

With 1.2.0, using Spectrum with libraries such as Awaitility and Unirest is much more straightforward.

Thanks to @mxk1235, @bjornblomqvist, and @ashleyfrieze for help on this!

Spectrum 1.1.0: Features, Features, Features!

We've been working on several big new features for Spectrum over the last several months, and are proud to include them in this release. 🎉

• Gherkin-style test DSL with given / when / then
• Support for most JUnit 4 @Rules like MockitoJUnit and SpringJUnit
• Tagging/filtering tests to include/exclude a specified subset
• The Variable<T> helper class for shared state across closures
• context alias for describe, similar to RSpec and Ginkgo
• RSpec-style aroundEach and aroundAll hooks for advanced users and plugin authors
• Expanded and improved documentation
• Several other small improvements and bug fixes
• Full backward-compatibility with 1.0.0

A special thank you to @ashleyfrieze for driving many of these changes, and to @richdouglasevans and @evertones for contributing as well!

Spectrum 0.7.1: Better error reporting for beforeEach and afterEach

Thanks to @pivotal-stuart-pollock and @pjk25 for identifying the issue and submitting a fix! Now, the beforeEach error will be visible where it wasn't before.
