Especially ever!

[Matt Horan](https://github.com/mhoran) joined as a
[capybara-webkit](http://rubydoc.info/gems/capybara-webkit) author this fall,
and he's been busily improving the codebase, making things less crashtastic and
more fastastic. Starting with version 0.14, we're changing the slogan from
"capybara-webkit: it works every time, 70% of the time" to "capybara-webkit:
we're almost sure it really works now!"

Thanks to our
[contributors](https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/graphs/contributors),
we also added URL blacklist support, improved JavaScript console messages, and
compatibility with the lovely Capybara 2.0. You can see a [full
list](https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/blob/master/NEWS.md) and a
[fuller list](https://github.com/thoughtbot/capybara-webkit/compare/v0.13.0...v0.14.0) on
GitHub.

With this release, we're also dropping support for Qt 4.7 and Capybara 1.x.

If you've tried capybara-webkit in the past and had trouble with crashes or
freezing up, give the latest release a shot. If you're already happily using it,
upgrade anyway for a faster, more reliable experience.

You can install capybara-webkit from
[RubyGems.org](http://rubygems.org/gems/capybara-webkit) by adding it to your
Gemfile.
