Configatron 2.2.0 Released, now with Ruby 1.9 and JRuby support!

Happy New Year everyone!

With the help of the absolutely amazing multiruby library and an edge version of rspec from GitHub, the latest version of Configatron now supports JRuby 1.1.6 and Ruby 1.9.1rc1. There are no other functional changes to the library, so it’s a full drop in replacement for vesion 2.1.6.

I highly encourage everyone to checkout multiruby and start upgrading their libraries so we can all move to 1.9 quicker, which means more speed and more power. Once we’re all in 1.9 land we can really make use of some of the amazing features it provides.

Anyway, I’ll be working on upgrading all my libraries and applications to work on 1.8 and 1.9, and hopefully JRuby, over the next couple of months. So be on the look out for a new versions of Cachetastic, Genosaurus [update: Genosaurus already works with 1.9 and JRuby. Hoorah!], and, of course, Mack.

    Very cool. I get the impression that the transition to Ruby 1.9 will happen quite fast. Faster as I know it from other languages (like from PHP 4 to PHP 5).
    Thanks for your effort. I will try the new version with the 1.9.1 RC I just installed.

    I’m hoping things move fast. I’ll be great to get on 1.9 asap. It offers so much benefit. There are just a lot of libraries that need to be brought into line for that to happen. My fear is the older libraries that a lot of people use that don’t get maintained any more. DB drives, log4r, etc… I think as a community we can all pitch in and make that happen.
