Revision history for Perl extension IOC.

0.29 Thurs. April 26, 2007

• IOC::Service::Parameterized
  • added docs and tests for this
• IOC::Registry
  • &locateService accepts additional args now to support the parameterized containers
• IOC::Container
  • &find and &get accepts additional args now to support the parameterized containers
• IOC::Visitor::ServiceLocator

0.28 Wed May 4 2005

• IOC::Proxy
• IOC::Proxy::Interfaces
  • fixed a bug with newer perls and @_

0.27 Wed Apr 13 2005

• IOC::Config::XML
  • added some more documentation
• IOC::Config::SAX::Handler
  • code refactor (no functional changes)
  • added some more documentation

0.26 Thurs Mar 31 2005

~ removed XML::Simple dependency

• added XML::SAX dependency
  • IOC::Config::XML
    • changed this to use the XML::SAX module and the IOC::Config::XML::SAX::Handler instead of XML::Simple

+ Added IOC::Config::XML::SAX::Handler

• adapted tests from IOC::Config::XML (not many changes actually most things stayed the same)

0.25 Sat Feb 26 2005

• fixed an accidentatel dependency created in the 060_IOC_Config_XML_test.t test file. It was looking for DBI, and specificall DBD::Mock. I removed this and created a dummy package in the test file as a substitute. It should work fine now.

0.24 Mon Feb 21 2004

• IOC::Service::ConstructorInjection
• IOC::Service::SetterInjection
  • improved the handling for loading classes automatically

+ Added IOC::Config::XML

• added tests and documentation for this
• added XML::Simple as a dependency
  • IOC::Exceptions
• added some expecptions for IOC::Config::XML

  ~ IOC::ConfigurationError

0.23 Fri Jan 14 2005

• IOC::Registry
  • added aliasService() method so that you can alias one service path for another
    • added tests for this
    • added docs for this

0.22 Mon Dec 27 2004

• IOC::Service::ConstructorInjection
• IOC::Service::SetterInjection
  • fixed class loading error in both, these services will load your class if it is not loaded already, and they were not doing it correctly.
    • added tests to confirm fixes

0.21 Sat Dec 25 2004 (Merry Christmas)

+ Added IOC::Service::Literal

• this is an optimization to allow for literal values to be held as services without them needing to be wrapped in subroutines.
• added documentation for this
• added tests for this
  • IOC::Container
• optmized this for IOC::Service::Literal objects since they cannot have dependencies, and therefore cannot have circular references there is no need to fuss with them (lock, deferred, etc).

0.20 Thurs Dec 23 2004

• IOC::Service::ConstructorInjection
  • added support for getting constructor args which are outside of the current container and can be located with find()
    • added tests for this
    • added to the docs for this
• IOC::Service::SetterInjection
  • added support for getting setter args which are outside of the current container and can be located with find()
    • added tests for this
    • added to the docs for this

0.19 Thurs Dec 23 2004

• IOC::Proxy
  • fixed an issue with how overloaded objects were handled. We no longer copy the '()' method. This will help to deal with overloaded object in a more consistent manner.

0.18 Fri Dec 17 2004

• IOC::Container
  • improved some diagnostic messages
• IOC::Visitor::ServiceLocator
  • improved some diagnostic messages
    • added tests for these
• IOC::Exceptions

  ~ added IOC::UnableToLocateService to help improve the diagnostics in IOC::Visitor::ServiceLocator

0.17 Wed Dec 15 2004

• IOC::Container
  • added code to make sure that proxied instances do not get re-proxied when they are retrieved with get() again.
    • added tests for this

0.16 Fri Nov 26 2004

• IOC::Service
  • added the deferred() method, which will return an IOC::Service::Deferred wrapper around the given service instance.
• IOC::Container
  • removed the direct reference to the IOC::Service::Deferred class, and it now calls the deferred() method on the IOC::Service instance itself.

0.15 Sat Nov 20 2004

• IOC::Container
  • adjusted how cyclical dependencies are handled, so that they are now possible, although still somewhat in their early stages.
    • added tests for this
• IOC::Service
  • adjusted how cyclical dependencies are handled, and created a sub-package called IOC::Service::Deferred to facilitate this
    • added tests for this

0.14 Thurs Nov 18 2004

> now using Scalar::Util::blessed() instead of

      the convoluted UNIVERSAL::isa() stuff. This 
      change affects a number of packages.
      - added Scalar::Util as a dependency

0.13 Wed Nov 17 2004

• IOC::Service::Prototype
  • removed any reference to the prototypical instance, so that complete lifecycle control is given to the consumer of the service ~ added tests and documentation for this

0.12 Tues Nov 16 2004

+ Added IOC::Proxy::Interfaces

• added tests and documentation for this
  • IOC::Proxy
• broke out some more methods, so that subclasses can really affect things on a granular level

0.11 Thurs Nov 11 2004

• IOC
  • added the IOC::Proxy module to the module which get pre-loaded with this module
• IOC::Proxy
  • broke the main methods down into small methods (in Strategy pattern fashion) to allow for variance of functionality in subclasses
• IOC::Container
  • now detects a cyclical relationship and will throw an IOC::IllegalOperation exception if it is found. I am currently working on how to allow for these types of relationships to exists so this is really just a temporary solution.

0.10 Tues Nov 9 2004

• IOC::Proxy ~ fixed a warning about subroutine redefinition when we add the auto-stringification functionality to an object

0.09 Mon Nov 8 2004

+ added IOC::Proxy

• added tests and documentation for this
  • IOC::Exceptions
• added the IOC::OperationFailed exception
  • IOC::Container
• added the proxy related functions and all the code to handle it ~ added tests and documentation for this functionality

0.08 Fri Nov 5 2004

• IOC::Container
  • added the 'unregister' method to remove allow a IOC::Service to be removed ~ added tests and documentation
    • IOC::Service
  • added the 'removeContainer' method to facilitate the IOC::Container->unregister method ~ added tests and documentation

0.07 Thurs Oct 21 2004

> Improved documentation for all classes, however I still have more to write

+ added IOC::Service::Prototype
+ added IOC::Service::Prototype::ConstructorInjection + added IOC::Service::Prototype::SetterInjection

• this allows services to dispense prototypes rather then just singleton instances ~ added tests for these new classes
  • IOC::Exceptions ~ added IOC::NotFound exception to handle general cases
  • IOC::Container ~ added findRootContainer method
  • IOC::Container::MethodResolution
• now handles auto-finding of sub-containers as well, and introduces a new pseduo-method 'root' which will allow you to go back to the root of the container hierarchy.
  • IOC::Service::ConstructorInjection
• fixed parameter handling so it works with the Prototype:: classes
  • IOC::Visitor::ServiceLocator
• now uses findRootContainer method
  • IOC::Visitor::SearchForContainer
• removed redundant code (thanks Devel::Cover :)

0.06 Tues Oct 19 2004
