[ANN] Copland 0.4.0 "Rodeo"

ruby-talk
1

Copland is an "Inversion of Control" (IoC), or "Dependency Injection" container for Ruby.

   http://copland.rubyforge.org

Version 0.4.0 is mostly a maintainence release. It adds a lot of new documentation and a few more tutorials, but fixes a few minor bugs and adds a few minor features.

Mostly, I'm just making this release because I haven't made one for Copland in a while and there were changes that had been sitting in CVS. So, here you go.

"Rodeo". Yee-haw!

Congratulations on the release. You do a good job of documenting everything. I wonder with what lures I can attract your talent to the Rails project ;).

Yeah, you've done an incredible job documenting. It's all nice and
clean. Capital job on all your endeavors lately, Jamis. You are paving
highways.

Thanks for using YAML so much. It's really motivating.

Flattery'll get you nowhere. :slight_smile:

Thanks. I'm glad you appreciate the documentation, because it's been a bear to write. Not that there's a ton of it, but as the developer of the software it is hard to distance myself from it sufficiently to write anything that is understandable by someone unfamiliar with the project. I'm sure we've all been there.

Thanks, _why. That's very kind of you to say. Not to turn this into a love-fest or anything, but your Poignant Guide was the inspiration for my Copland docs (at least, for their formatting and construction). It's a great way to use YAML.

Thank YOU for the YAML routines! It's an invaluable addition to the standard library. I've lately been trying to adopt YAML at work, as a replacement for 99% of our XML usage, but its tough... we use Java, and without a decent YAML parser for Java, the applications for YAML are limited to utility scripts that I've written in Ruby.

[off topic] Anyone know of a decent (read: on a par with syck) YAML parser for Java?
