    Vanity 1.7.0 is out, allows A/B testing emails

    Vanity is an Experiment Driven Development framework for Rails.

    Vanity 1.7.0 makes it easy to A/B test emails, for example:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    
    ab_test "Invite text" do
      description "Optimize invite text"
      alternatives "A friend of yours invited you to use Vanity", "You were invited to use Vanity"
      metrics :click
    end

    Much thanks to Joseph Sofaer for making that happen.

    Other changes in 1.7.0:

    With 1.7.0 and moving forward, if you need to setup a database schema
    (relational databases only), please use the generator:
     
      $ rails generate vanity
      $ rake db:migrate
