  without redefining ->can()

• generator test no longer requires Tangram to be installed

2004-02-23

• Release 1.54.2
• Added support for Storable, idbif, etc column types. Mutter to self disadvantages of hardcoding Tangram Type list in module.

2004-01-08

• Release 1.54.1
• Fixed dire copy constructor bug.

2004-01-01

• Release 1.54
• Many fixes for the intermediate classes change below
• Check functions on setters for collections

2003-10-27

• Release 1.53
• Added intermediate classes, so that calling $self->SUPER::get_foo works as OO discipline dictates.
• Removed function prototypes
• import_schema() will now return immediately if called twice for a class

2003-10-27

• Release 1.52
• Various minor fixes
• Major enhancements to the operation of Class::Tangram::Generator. `use Class' when `Class' is a part of the Generator now works.

2003-08-12

• Release 1.51
• Implements a work-around for Tangram on Perl 5.8.0
• Now auto-loads Tangram components (Tangram::Type classes) if it can
• Added Class::Tangram::Generator

2003-07-01

• Release 1.50
• Container ubiquity (see the README)
• Companion attributes (explicit back-references)

2002-09-15

• Release 1.13
• Scrapped Pod::Constants bullshit
• some

2002-05-29

• Release 1.12
• Complete removal of AUTOLOAD. More backwards compatibility than 1.115
• Massive documentation simplification and rewording

2002-05-22

• Release 1.115 (not released publicly)
• Early changes to make the module more efficient - closures and direct symbol table manipulation are used instead of AUTOLOAD.

2002-04-15

• Release 1.11
• Minor Bugfix - "iset" default init_default had a typo relating to the cleanup. Should have known it would happen, making releases at 2:43am
• Added test for above bugfix

2002-04-15

• Release 1.10
• Added "required" attribute, contributed by Charles Owens <owensc@enc.edu>
• Much cleanup of code, particularly the import_schema function.
• Removed seemingly superfluous check for tied values of init_default attribute option (tied checking is used elsewhere to prevent unwanted auto-vivification of attributes, but those should never get to init_default, especially since if they did they would be effectively useless)
• Minor enhancements to documentation and Pod::Constants imported sections

2002-02-18

• Release 1.09
• Bugfix affecting objects with stringify function fixed
• "transient" type now works in storage properly

2002-02-10

• Release 1.08
• Added "transient" type
• Documentation changes

2002-02-09

• Release 1.07
• "array" and "hash" types are now as magical as set types on "get()" - that is, if they are undefined, an empty array is returned rather than undef. Also, if evaluated in list context, the members of the array are returned in a list rather than a reference to the array.
• Added &YourClass::set_init_default(field => $value)
• made test suite a bit more complete
• Removed support for bogus non-existant "time", "timestamp" Tangram types
• Support for "rawdate", "rawtime", "dmdatetime". This completes support for all standard Tangram data types.
• Class::Tangram classes now pass the "empty sub-class" test

2001-11-21

• Release 1.06
• Added run-time type information functions

2001-11-21

2001-10-14

• Release 1.04
• Added some Set::Object AUTOLOAD functions
• More documentation fixes
• Now creates empty Set::Object containers for set attributes so that Tangram doesn't get upset when you store a new object, but didn't initialise one of its sets.
• Get of a Set::Object attribute returns its members when called in list context

2001-10-10

• Release 1.03

  destructor
