beaker 2.48.1

This z-release fixes an issue manifested in beaker-rspec where it would attempt to add a teardown in with_host_stubbed_on. The Testcase object is not instantiated in beaker-rspec, and so the instance variables that teardown requires aren't defined.

beaker 2.47.1

This release is a Z release intended to fix a regression where you could have inadvertently been using the run_in_parallel functionality in block_on or run_block_on methods by passing the global options hash to puppet install methods, which would pass [] in as the default run_in_parallel setting, resolving as truthy during the check as to whether we should use parallel functionality.
