Ginkgo 2.0 Proposal

[onsi]

The first commit to Ginkgo was on August 19th, 2013. Much fruitful community feedback - and code cruft - have accumulated over the years. Both can be addressed with a new major version of Ginkgo: Ginkgo 2.0.

The backlog capturing the work is here: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/2493102

The original proposal for Ginkgo 2.0 has been pulled together as a google doc here. Note that the google doc is now stale - the Tracker backlog reflects the latest work most accurately.

V2 is in active development on the ver2 branch and an uptodate changelog and migration doc is maintained on the branch here

If you use Ginkgo and are interested in what's in 2.0 please comment on this issue!

This proposal has been publicly available for three weeks. After receiving some helpful feedback that has made its way into the proposal I think it's time to start development.

I've put together a project to track progress toward v2:

The first iteration of V2 is out on the ver2 branch. There are a few new features on that branch, and most of the deprecations/removals lists in the V2 doc. I'll be adding new functionality over the coming weeks/months.

This changelog + migration doc:
https://github.com/onsi/ginkgo/blob/ver2/docs/MIGRATING_TO_V2.md
will be kept uptodate as I go.

I'll be removing the GitHub v2 project in favor of this Pivotal Tracker backlog that I'm using:
