Joose 3.007 release

[Nickolay Platonov]

Hello,

I'm glad to announce about the Joose 3.007 release. This release provides a number of enhancements, notably in static methods,
iterators and compatibility with Prototype. See below for the full list.

The recommended installation procedure for Joose 3 is described here: http://openjsan.org/go/?l=Joose.Manual.Installation
Alternatively, the complete list of releases is available for download here: http://openjsan.org/go?d=Joose

Further features on the roadmap:
- NodeJS interoperability (allow to use Joose as common-js module and implement additional transport/resource for its own loader: JooseX.Namespace.Depended[1])
- Transparent subclassing from non-Joose classes
- More features for attributes

Stay tuned!

Regards, Nickolay



3.007

    [ENHANCEMENTS]
   
    - Class/Role/Module in the global scope aliased as Joose.Class/Joose.Role/Joose.Module
   
    - Joose no longer overwrites the Class/Role/Module symbols in global scope (should allow Prototype support)
   
    - Static instance ('my') now receives a special 'HOST' configuration parameter during instantiation, containing a hosting class constructor
   
    - Static methods are now aliased directly to the host constructor, and can be used without `my`
   
    - returning 'false' from Joose.A/O.each iterators stops the iteration and can be propagated further
   
    - added `Joose.A.map` helper
   
    - attributes initialization moved from `initialize` method to constructor (it was somewhat restrictive - only allows `after` modifiers), this allows:
        1) the `before` modifier for `initialize` with already initialized attributes
        2) better support for inheriting from non-Joose classes (which may not have `initialize` at all)
   
    - added ability to specify the arbitrary method (by name) for attributes initialization ("builder" in Moose meaning)
   
   
    [API CHANGES]

    -none-
   
   
    [BUG FIXES]
   
    - fixed bug, when traits weren't applied to the class with already detached meta (when the meta already had traits)
   
    - fixed bug, when the metaclass of detached instance had no name
