Configuration System

The configuration system is being redesigned as a separate module. The goal is to make settings easier to manage, extend and store.

Design goals

• Wrap related settings into separate classes
• Automate reading and writing of configuration fields where possible
• Separate persistence layer from configuration logic
• Allow storing configuration locally and in the cloud (for example Dropbox or Google Drive)
