Rhino Mocks 4.0.0 Alpha Released

It has been a little longer than expected but the latest version of Rhino Mocks has been released and is available from NuGet. You can download the package from here:


This is an "alpha" release since there are more than likely going to be a few things that come up. As a matter of fact, there are two things that I am already thinking about changing.

One is to be a little more explicit with arranging expectations against properties. Right now when you arrange an expectation against a property the intent is inferred. Instead I think it would be better to be explicit by adding ExpectPropertyGet and ExpectPropertySet.

The other is more of an internal modification to help track expectations easier. Currently an expectation is stored in a single data structure which includes the method, arguments, constraints and return values. When a method is intercepted all of the expectations have to be checked to find a match (clearly there are short circuits but… you get the idea). This modification will help account for how many times a method has (or hasn't) be called and increase performance.
