Are you tired of a world that lacks retweeting etiquette? You know who I’m talking about, that dude who’s always retweeting @THE_REAL_SHAQ or @guykawasaki. Or those guys with multiple twitter accounts who need to ensure that every last contact gets the message, several duplicate followers be damned!
Well, we’re sick of it…..and we’re not the only ones!

Just a heads up that I’ve released 0.2.3. You can update with:
sudo gem install environmentalist
The only substantial change in this release is that we moved the loading of postboot.rb to the bottom of the boot.rb file as opposed to the top of config/environment.rb. This was necessary because common db rake tasks like db:create and db:drop stopped loading the environment in 2.3.2.
As a recap, environmentalist provides an executable that converts a rails app’s config structure. The basic idea is that environments themselves are now first-class citizens, allowing you to create several environments (e.g. staging, prodtest, demo, etc.) in a clean, organized fashion. Each environment is given its own folder where it can store its own set of configuration files (think mongrel configs, apache configs, etc.) without polluting the top-level config/ directory.
