Andy Lester has released Ack 2.0. The most significant change to the utility is the elimination of the need to add a config entry for every file type you want to search in by instead searching all text files by default. This means that ack is much more useful out of the box and requires less configuration overall.
I think this is a good example of leveraging an implicit convention instead of requiring explicit configuration.
See Ack's homepage or GitHub repository for more information.
