Sinatra 1.2 is out

Sinatra 1.2 is out and thanks to R. Konstantin Haase and others, The Chairman has added a number of ditties to his set list. Highlights of the release include:

• Slim support
• Inline Markaby
• Layout engines, so you can have a layout in Haml and templates in ERb for instance
• Conditional before, after filters
• URL helper
• Templates with different scopes
• Configurable template lookup

For Ruby 1.9 users, you can now use named captures in your routes:

get %r{/(?<year>d{4})/(?<month>d{2})/(?<day>d{2})/?} do
  date = Date.new params[:year].to_i, params[:month].to_i, params[:day].to_i
  @posts = Post.pubished_on date
  erb :posts
end

As Sinatra fans, we’re excited about this release anxious to see what projects like Padrino and NestaCMS can do with it.
