Revision history for Perl extension Class::Factory.
1.00 Mon Oct 7 11:15:50 EDT 2002
- Add overridable logging/errors (Thanks to Eric Andreychek
<eric@openthought.net>)
- Subclasses do not need to implement any methods any longer --
using the module is a simple 'use base qw( Class::Factory )'
away. (Thanks to Eric for the suggestion.)
- Add get_loaded_types(), get_loaded_classes(),
get_registered_types() and get_registered_classes() so you can
keep track of the factory state.

Added the ability to register a type/class without having
Class::Factory include it. This is useful for modules that want
to know all of their types at startup time but don't want to
bring in a particular class until that type is requested. (See
POD for details.)

Added simple constructor to be inherited as needed. This
constructor automatically calls 'init()', not coincidentally the
name that Class::Base uses. Small variable name changes.

Original version with tests, documentation and everything,
written after the third or fourth time I cut-and-pasted a
'add_type()' method to implement a dynamic factory class :-)
