I just released Valium 0.5.0. If you were getting single-element array values back when using value(s)_of against a loaded collection, this is now fixed. Thanks to gamov for the report!

What’s that mean for these gems?
No, I don't work in NYC, DC, or the valley, and I'm cool with that.

About
I'm Ernie Miller. But then, you probably knew that by looking at the page title, or the URL. I'm a Ruby programmer in Louisville, Kentucky. This blog used to be called "metautonomo.us", which I thought was kind of clever, but nobody, including me, could type it. Lesson learned.
