I just upgraded from 2.7.0 to 2.8.0 and after that rcov fails to run. It produces no output at all and any check on coverage subsequently fails. Some quick googling yielded http://blog.thefrontiergroup.com.au/2011/05/rspec-2-6-0-and-rcov/ and indeed, adding

require 'rspec/autorun'
to the `spec_helper.rb` solved the issue. I guess that file is still intended to be required automatically?
