Thanks to Brandon Dimcheff for contributing a patch that let’s you call .to_hash on configatron to get your configuration settings out as a Hash.

Thanks again Brandon
Thanks to Simon Menke for contributing a great patch to Configatron that will automatically ‘namespace’ your configuration settings if you use the configure_from_hash or the configure_from_yaml methods.
Both give you the same results:

Although not as sexy a release as 0.7.0, there are some very important bug fixes and some cool new little features in this release. Rack has been upgraded to v0.4.0. DataMapper to 0.9.5. Facets to 2.4.4, and a few other gems as well.
There is now a much nicer session store API that will allow developers to build their own session stores. There’s also a couple of new session stores that ship with 0.7.1. There’s a DataMapper session store, and a cookie session store, which is now the default session store. The previous Cachetastic based session store can be used by requiring the mack-caching gem in gems.rb and putting the following setting in your app_config/*.yml file:
mack::session_store: cachetastic
There is now built-in support to help prevent cross-site scripting attacks on forms. Some view helper methods have nice updates such as :disable_with and :confirm, and asset hosts.
And a whole host of other little improvements across the board. Enjoy!

On the heels of last week’s successful release of Configatron 1.0.0 comes version 1.1.0. The big addition, feature wise, to 1.1.0 is the ability to now load configurations from a YAML file.
configatron.configure_from_yaml('/path/to/file.yml')
When reload is called on configatron any YAML files will be read back in from disk, allowing you to change your configurations and reload them.
Enjoy!
Today two patches to Mack have been released, 0.7.0.1 and 0.6.1.2. They upgrade the version of application_configuration and are highly recommended. There was a bug with application_configuration that could cause it to stop loading configuration settings, which obviously, would be bad. 
Please update your version of Mack accordingly.
As a side note, Mack will be moving away from application_configuration to configatron around version 0.8.0, but more on that later.
