As part of a longer process of making FSharpx better maintainable I created a new project called FSharp.Configuration. It contains type providers for the configuration of .NET projects:

• AppSettings (extracted from FSharpx)
• ResX (by Phil Trelford)
• Yaml (by Vasily Kirichenko)

Additonal information:

• Nuget package
• Source code (Apache 2.0 License)

Please tell me what you think.

I’m happy to annouce the new release of the FSharpx.Collections package on nuget.

Most important changes:

• We extracted all collections into a new repositiory.
• We have documentation and samples (even for C#).
• PersistentVector<T> doesn’t require equality constraints on T.
• We did some basic performance tests.
• We added PersistentHashMap.
• The build process uses FAKE and FSharp.Formatting via the FSharp.ProjectScaffold.

Please tell me if it works for you.
