Maintenance release

What's Changed

Upgraded to the lastest scala native version

This release solves a long-standing issue with Scala-native: #1239.

Fix for the HTML documentation

This release fixes:

• A missing import in the docs showing how to produce an index file for the HMTL reporter.

• More importantly, a proper output for HTML docs. Many pieces of HTML were duplicated due a fun bug involving the natural transformation of Id to Action. I don't know yet what is the most lawful fix: making Id lazy (equivalent to () => X) or doing what I did and making the NaturalTransformation.apply parameter lazy. Anyway this fixes this issue!

Fix for `ok and failure` when using `ThrownExpectations`

This release fixes issue #1255.

Scala-native upgrade

Scala-native has been upgraded to 0.5 thanks to @xuwei-k.

Revert to using Scala 3.3.3 LTS

As prescribed here: https://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2024/02/29/scala-3.4.0-and-3.3.3-released.html.

Thanks to @TonioGela for noticing this.

Added back a Scope trait for 5.x

Version 5 dropped the Scope trait for mutable specifications, to initialize some values and make them accessible to examples in mutable specifications.

That trait is now back as org.specs2.execute.Scope:

class MySpec extends mutable.Specification:
  "e1" in new MyScope:
    someValue === 1
  
trait MyScope extends Scope: 
  val someValue: Int = 1
