This is awesome! :+1:

Another idea for the future: allow non-core reporters to be specified with -r. Painless could require() the given reporter name if it isn't one of the ones in core. This would be an easy way to let people work on more reporters without them needing to be a part of the main repo.

Read my mind! I was going to add that.

0.8.0 is out on github and NPM. Here is a link.

New reporter API is described in the docs. I made it really easy to create a custom reporter. https://github.com/taylorhakes/painless/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION.md#reporter-api

@af Thanks for all of the suggestions. If you have other ideas, please create more tickets.

Careful what you wish for ;)

Looking forward to trying out 0.8 tonight!
