Yo! I have just released version 0.8.0 of xml-configfile, a library for an easy handling of XML configuration files. It allows you to access configuration parameters stored in an XML file by using XPath. Changes since last release: - Handling of attributes is configurable now. They will be expanded by get_parameters, if the user wants them to. - [] is an alias for method get_parameter now. - Method get_parameter_array was added by Nigel Ball. - Changed method names to Ruby style (using underscores instead of CamelCase). The old method names still work, but will be removed in the future. - 'ruby install.rb config' prints a warning now, if REXML is not installed (pre-config.rb was added). - Added and improved documentation. You can find xml-configfile on RAA at http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=xml-configfile and a nice tutorial on its own website http://www.maik-schmidt.de/projects/xmlconfigfile/index.html Have fun! <maik/>
