Revision history for Perl module Class::InsideOut

1.10 Mon Aug 24 20:44:46 EDT 2009

Bug fixes:

• changed method of calling Exporter::import() to avoid confusing DProf
• fixed detection of missing 'weaken' function in newer Scalar::Util (fixes test t/15_no_weaken_fallback.t) (RT#47623)

Other:

• cleanup: eliminate test warning from bogus superclass in a test class
• docs: Noted that set_hooks aren't called by new() (RT#48106)

1.09 Fri Jan 4 18:42:41 EST 2008

• bugfix: allow use of upper or mixed case property accessors (David Schmitt)
• testfix: tests will now pass on Perl 5.005 -- though 5.005 is not recommended due to the lack of weak references
• pod: added a note about using "our" instead of "my" for properties
• critic: various cleanups to about Perl::Critic level 5
• moved author tests to xt directory for CPANTS compatibility

1.08 Thu Aug 23 07:12:33 EDT 2007

• STORABLE_attach warns instead of dying if it can't provide a singleton back to Storable, leaving Storable to croak instead; on 5.6.2 (and possibly older Perls), this change works around Storable dying during cleanup if STORABLE_attach dies inside an eval()
• thread tests skip on perl < 5.8.5 due to unexplained thread failures; perl585delta alludes to thread fixes when weak references are in use and this may be related
• removed "use warnings" from singleton test files for back compatibility
• moved pod/coverage tests to t_extra/ and stopped depending on an environment variable to allow them to run
• changed to the Apache License, version 2.0; (it's clearer, relicensable, and is explicit about contributions)

1.07 Fri Aug 10 07:41:00 EDT 2007

• fixes for using ":storable" with older versions of Exporter that required tags to come first. Now we just strip it during import.

1.06 Mon Feb 12 19:34:59 EST 2007

• all tests involving Storable now skip if Storable isn't installed (instead of only a few) (David Cantrell)

1.05 Sun Feb 11 16:29:16 EST 2007

• fixed optional new method with hash reference (RT#24839)

1.04 Thu Jan 18 21:47:19 EST 2007

• added 'readonly' accessor-creator

1.0301 Wed Nov 15 06:08:47 EST 2006

• removing email address for bug reports to (hopefully) cut down on RT ticket spam

1.03 Wed Oct 11 10:55:28 EDT 2006

• thread tests skip if thread creation fails
• added an examples directory with a reference to some of the objects used in testing

1.02 Tue Aug 15 09:26:11 EDT 2006

• fixed duplicate property name checking (RT#20997)

1.01 Thu Jul 27 12:30:54 EDT 2006

• register() now handles standard cases with "sufficiently advanced technology" and does the right thing
• optional simple "new" constructor added
• changed "foreign" inheritance to "black-box" inheritance in Pod

1.00 Fri May 12 21:25:34 EDT 2006

• removed Data::Dump::Streamer support attempts until RT#19060 can be addressed

0.90_02 Thu May 4 00:56:04 EDT 2006

• fixed up META.yml and a pod typo

0.90_01 Wed May 3 20:47:34 EDT 2006

• API CHANGE renamed serialization hooks to FREEZE and THAW
• added support for STORABLE_attach for singletons
• improved test coverage
• refactored some of the test classes
• refactored STORABLE_* code
• refactored documentation
• added draft (non-working) support for serialization with Data::Dump::Streamer

0.14 Thu Mar 16 23:07:22 EST 2006

• Fixed test bug where thread test wouldn't properly skip for Win32 Perl 5.6 (with ithreads enabled for pseudofork but no threads.pm)
• Improved handling of "die" in set_hook and get_hook callbacks

0.13 Fri Mar 10 10:32:08 EST 2006

• Test for Scalar::Util::weaken fallback had a bug that would fail on Perl versions prior to 5.6. Fixed to be fully backwards compatible.

0.12 Wed Mar 8 21:58:58 EST 2006

• Added workaround for unavailable Scalar::Util::weaken; gives warning about not running thread-safe; added missing weaken skips to thread/fork test files
• property/public/private arguments are now validated. Property names must be identifiers; Property options must be given as hash references; Duplicate property names are not permitted.
• options argument checked for proper format; option values are checked for validity
• register argument checked for blessed reference
• added optional pod/pod_coverage tests (skipped by default)

0.11 Sat Jan 28 11:09:50 EST 2006

• tweaked Build.PL; dropped Test::More dependency to 0.45 to help pass ActiveState automated tests (0.45 first to offer thread safety and in the 5.008 core); fixed copy/paste error for cleanup
• documentation cleanup; fixed links; restructured Pod for options; softened alpha warnings as we get closer to a stable API

0.10 Fri Jan 27 01:41:38 EST 2006

• added "set_hook" and "get_hook" option for custom accessor/mutator manipulations
• added ":all" and ":std" tags
• cleaned up or reorganized documentation in places; revised synopsis to be shorter

0.09 Fri Jan 20 14:55:14 EST 2006

• added basic accessor generation as an option for property declarations; added aliases "public" and "private" as shortcuts to property options
• added per-class default options for properties
• added support for user-written freeze and thaw hooks
• documentation updates: typo safety requires strict (Steven Lembark); caching refaddr() to minimize overhead; new features documented

0.08 Wed Jan 18 10:50:13 EST 2006

• BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: property definitions now require a label in addition to the property hash
• Class::ISA results are now cached when first used; also minor optimization of reftype switching in STORABLE_* methods (Adam Kennedy)
• foreign inheritance test now checks for IO::File or skips
• documentation cleanup and trailing whitespace removal (Ron Savage)

0.07 Mon Jan 9 09:48:46 EST 2006

• Storable support tested with references, grouped references and circular references; references external to the freeze are cloned
• documentation cleanup

0.06 Sun Jan 8 23:07:22 EST 2006

• DESTROY cleans up all Class::InsideOut properties in the @ISA tree; updated documentation on object destruction for clarity; fixes diamond-pattern inheritance memory leaks without requiring a DEMOLISH method
• added first-draft support of serialization with Storable for objects based on scalars, arrays and hashes; tested on data values only; not yet tested on values with references or objects, particularly circular reference chains
• CLONE no longer exported; all refaddr index cleanup handled globally in Class::InsideOut::CLONE rather than in class-specific methods

0.05 Fri Jan 6 09:07:07 EST 2006

• more documentation tweaks
