+== 1.1-rc-1
+
+A number of excellent pull requests have been integrated into the 1.1 stream.
+Currently some features are incubating.
+We encourage users to try out these new features and provide feedback so we can finalize the content for a 1.1 release.
+
+=== What's New In This release
+
+* <<Merged Pull Requests,44 merged pull requests>>
+* The `verifyAll` method can be used to assert multiple boolean expressions _without_ short-circuiting those after a failure.
+For example:
+[source,groovy]
+----
+then:
+verifyAll {
+  a == b
+  b == c
+}
+----
+* Detached mocks via the `DetachedMockFactory` and `SpockMockFactoryBean` classes.
+* Cells in a data table can refer to the current value for a column to the left.
+* `Spy` can be used to create partial mocks for Java 8 interfaces with `default` methods just as it can for abstract classes.
+* Improved power assert output when an exception occurs evaluating an assertion.
+* A new `@PendingFeature` annotation to distinguish incomplete functionality from features with `@Ignore`.
+
+Special thanks to all the contributors to this release: Dmitry Andreychuk, Aseem Bansal, Daniel Bechler, Fedor Bobin, Leonard Brünings, Leonard Daume, Marcin Erdmann, Jarl Friis, Søren Berg Glasius, Serban Iordache, Michal Kordas, Pap Lőrinc, Vlad Muresan, Etienne Neveu, Glyn Normington, David Norton, Magnus Palmér, Gus Power, Oliver Reissig, Kevin Wittek and Marcin Zajączkowski
