0.4.7 is a MUST have release. It fixes a few good bugs, like the ability  
to upload files now works! Plus it introduces a few nice little goodies.

File uploads are now pretty easy to do. There’s a new  
Mack::Request::UploadedFile that helps to wrap the Hash that Rack gives  
you when you upload a file. Here’s a simple example of it being used:

class UploadsController \< Mack::Controller::Base  
def create  
@my\_new\_file = request.file(:my\_new\_file)  
@my\_new\_file.save\_to([MACK\_PUBLIC, “uploaded\_files”,  
@my\_new\_file.file\_name])  
end  
end

That’s it! That’s all you need to upload a file! I’m going to add file  
uploads to the blog demo over the next few days.

You can now do ‘namespaced’ routes, such as Admin::UserController. You  
can very simply map them in your routes.rb as:

r.resource “admin/users”

There’s now a new rake task, generator:list, that shows all the  
generators available to your app.

Darsono Sutedja gets the prize for being the first person, other than  
myself, to contribute to Mack. Thanks a ton Darsono! It’s much  
appreciated.

All of the generators now use the Genosaurus generator system. Not  
really that exciting, but it makes for a nice, cleaner code base.

There’s a few other things in there as well. The changelog below has a  
few more things. Enjoy!

Changelog:

- Added Mack::Request::UploadedFile class to make dealing with file  
uploads easy.
- Fixed bug where if a controller didn’t exist it wasn’t checking the  
public directory.
- Generated DataMapper models no longer extend DataMapper::Base, but  
rather ‘include DataMapper::Persistence’. This corresponds to the 0.9.0  
upcoming release of DataMapper.
- Fixed a bug in request.params that was making file uploads into  
strings.
- Namespaced resourced routes, such as Admin::UserController, now work.
- Added rake generator:list task to list all the available generators.
- scaffold generator now creates a stub functional test.
- model generator now creates a stub unit test.
- Rake tasks in plugins now show up in the Rake tasks list.
- All generators, including the ‘mack’ binary are now using Genosaurus.
- [dsutedja] initializer will load  
MACK\_APP/controllers/default\_controller.rb if it exists
- [dsutedja] added link\_image\_to and image\_tag to html helper.
- gem: thin 0.8.1
- gem: genosaurus 1.1.1
