0b305028 4 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
5 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
6 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
7 authors. (mst)
8 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
9 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
10
11 * Class::MOP::Class
12 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
13 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
14
15 * Class::MOP
16 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
17
89f74416 18 * Tests
19 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
20 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
8b6a1e85 21 * Class::MOP::Class
22 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
89f74416 23
a0497979 240.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
d89108ab 25 * Class::MOP::Class
26 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
27 sharing an immutable transformer object
28 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
29 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
30
c16a3087 310.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
d14e06c3 32 * MOP.xs
33 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
34 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
35 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
36 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
37 * Class::MOP::Class
38 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
c6d9b1ff 39 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
d14e06c3 40
2b5fafa1 410.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
c0757d65 42 * MOP.xs
2b5fafa1 43 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
44 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
45 Ragwitz)
351e5029 46 * t/082_get_code_info.t
2b5fafa1 47 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
48 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
49 succeed in that case.
351e5029 50
8704ee6d 510.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
6a6f7a2f 52 * Class::MOP::Package
53 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
54 initialized (Sartak)
aa906e42 55 * Class::MOP::Method
adb2b128 56 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
57 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
6a6f7a2f 58
6b5ac420 590.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
62a0a0f3 60 * Class::MOP::Immutable
61 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
62 the constructor was inlined.
fdc6771b 63 * Class::MOP::Package
64 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
65 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
66 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
67 * MOP.xs
68 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
69 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
62a0a0f3 70
34147f49 710.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
25a5f083 72 * Class::MOP::Method
73 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
74 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
41885bab 75 * Class::MOP::Immutable
9ec62360 76 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
77 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
41885bab 78 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
79 calls (Sartak)
05e183d1 80 * Class::MOP::Class
81 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
82 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
83 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
84 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
52e5f955 85 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
86 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
87 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
7ef2f4b7 88 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
89 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
90 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
25a5f083 91
96185d43 920.71 Wed November 26, 2008
d652fbd5 93 * Class::MOP::Class
94 * Class::MOP::Module
95 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
96 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
97 the code (Sartak)
98
88b8ac17 990.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
100 * Class::MOP
101 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
102 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
103
1040.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
7329b9e2 105 * Class::MOP
106 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
9b1760fc 107 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
7329b9e2 108 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
109 Ragwitz)
7329b9e2 110
52c685d3 1110.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
b88aa2e8 112 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
113 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
114
115
4a9e02e8 1160.68 Fri October 24, 2008
dfbc4d4c 117 * Class::MOP
118 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
119 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
120 (Florian Ragwitz)
5a24cf8a 121 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
122 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
123 times in an eval. (t0m)
dfbc4d4c 124
5f5ee28a 1250.67 Tue October 14, 2008
2e7eb96b 126 * Class::MOP::Class
127 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
128 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
129 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
130 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
34d04967 131 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
132 - added test for this
2e7eb96b 133
34d04967 1340.66 Sat September 20, 2008
fe05cbbe 135 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
136 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
137
9e9e6b8f 138 * Tests and XS
139 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
140 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
e073e667 141 code. (Dave Rolsky)
9e9e6b8f 142
91b73829 143 * Class::MOP::Class
fe05cbbe 144 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
1190621f 145 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
146 aliased methods and "real" methods.
fe05cbbe 147
148 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
7143219b 149 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
fe05cbbe 150 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
151 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
91b73829 152
155f0cba 153 * Class::MOP::Class
154 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
155 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
156 compatibility.
9e9e6b8f 157
94278c1b 1580.65 Mon September 1, 2008
159 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
8b9106cf 160 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
94278c1b 161 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
162 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
163 for sad systems without a compiler.
164
988fb42e 165 * Class::MOP::Method
166 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
167 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
168
169 * MOP.xs
170 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
171 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
172 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
173
13ac653a 1740.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
400982e3 175 * Class::MOP
13ac653a 176 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
177 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
178 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
179 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
400982e3 180
13ac653a 1810.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
9457b596 182 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
183 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
184 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
185
1860.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
2a755fe8 187 * Class::MOP
188 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
189 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
190 code. (Dave Rolsky)
191
192 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
193 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
194 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
195
f65af096 1960.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
9ebc265d 197 * Class::MOP::Class
f65af096 198 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
199
200 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
201 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
202 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
9ebc265d 203
df7077cd 2040.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
205 * Class::MOP::Package
206 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
207 releases. (nothingmuch)
208
209 * Class::MOP
210 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
211
09ed1ec5 2120.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
64c591d3 213 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
4dde2f23 214 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
215
216 * Makefile.PL
217 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
218 Module::Install.
64c591d3 219
09ed1ec5 220 * Class::MOP::Instance
221 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
222
2230.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
f125b31e 224 * Makefile.PL
225 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
226 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
227 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
228 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
2e5c1a3f 229
40b3c18f 230 * many modules
7f799c13 231 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
232 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
233 (nothingmuch).
234
235 * many modules
40b3c18f 236 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
237 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
238 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
239 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
240 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
241
7f799c13 242 * Many modules
243 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
244 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
245 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
246
40b3c18f 247 * Class::MOP::Class
7f799c13 248 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
249 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
250 consistency (nothingmuch)
251 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
252 (nothingmuch)
253 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
254 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
255 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
256 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
257 (nothingmuch)
40b3c18f 258
7202116b 2590.64 Sun August 3, 2008
84bc89b3 260 * Class::MOP::Immutable
7202116b 261 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
84bc89b3 262 call ->meta (stevan)
7202116b 263 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
264
265 * Class::MOP::Instance
266 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
267 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
84bc89b3 268
f079b1eb 2690.63 Mon July 7, 2008
07940968 270 * Class::MOP
271 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
272 the class is already loaded (sartak)
273 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
274 instead of just 1 (sartak)
6e1c8b63 275
f079b1eb 276 * elsewhere
277 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
278
ebce5539 2790.62 Wed June 18, 2008
1377b506 280 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
281 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
282
70ad0655 2830.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
284 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
285 recognizes it correct this time.
a023763e 286
2870.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008

9b522fc4 293
294 * Class::MOP::Class
295 - now stores the instance of the instance
296 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
8b49a472 297 and deletes it when the cache is blown
119f3a92 298 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
299 the options used to make it immutable as well as
300 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
8b49a472 301
302 * Class::MOP::Package
303 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
304 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
305 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
306 ref version.
f6dc69d2 307
308 * Class::MOP
309 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
310 to avoid a segfault
26fcef27 311 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
312 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
ab5e2f48 313 check (Sartak)
314 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
315 names now throw a more direct error in
316 load_class (Sartak)
3f7759c1 317 - tests for this and other aspects of
318 load_class (Sartak)
9b522fc4 319

337
ae234dc6 338 * Class::MOP::Class
339 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
340 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
de0f9e1c 341 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
342 called so much
ae234dc6 343
344 * Class::MOP::Package
345 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
346 &namespace so much
de0f9e1c 347 - inlining a few calls to &name with
348 direct HASH access key access
ae234dc6 349 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
350 a HASH of items based on a type filter
351 similar to list_all_package_symbols
352 - added tests for this
353
32202ce2 354 * Class::MOP::Method
355 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
356 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
357 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
358 - added more descriptive error message to help
359 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
47e20ba2 360 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
32202ce2 361
d1dba7a1 362 * Class::MOP::Immutable
363 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
364 needs one
365 - added tests for this
366
b4009dc1 3670.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
11b56828 368 * Class::MOP
369 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
370 function from MRO::Compat
d7d3f3cb 371 - All XS based functionality now has a
372 Pure Perl alternative
6c34db07 373 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
d7d3f3cb 374 can now be used to force non-XS versions
6c34db07 375 to always be used
11b56828 376
9e517e01 377 * Class::MOP::Attribute
378 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
d7d3f3cb 379 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
def5c0b5 380 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
381 possible
382 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 383
5f3efd66 384 * Class::MOP::Immutable
d7d3f3cb 385 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
5f3efd66 386 making the class immutable
d7d3f3cb 387
5f3efd66 388 * Class::MOP::Class
daf8d8bc 389 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
d7d3f3cb 390 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
5f3efd66 391 allow for it to work.
392 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 393
394 * Class::MOP::Attribute
6c34db07 395 Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 396 Class::MOP::Immutable
6c34db07 397 - any time a method meta object is constructed
d7d3f3cb 398 we make sure to pass the correct package and
6c34db07 399 method name information
d7d3f3cb 400

403 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
404 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
d7d3f3cb 405 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
406 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
407 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
408 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
409 throw an error if these are not supplied.
6c34db07 410 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
411 and now store the package_name and name attributes
d7d3f3cb 412 correctly as well

6e2a700f 428 when it has no init_arg
77a143ba 429 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
430 to support c3 classes.

452 Class::MOP::Package
453 Class::MOP::Module
454 Class::MOP::Method
455 Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 456 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
457 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
458
d7b2249e 459 * Class::MOP::Instance
d7d3f3cb 460 Class::MOP::Immutable
d7b2249e 461 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
d7d3f3cb 462
10dd437b 463 * t/

c1d5345a 500 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 501 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
c1d5345a 502 constant so that we can take advantage
503 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
d7d3f3cb 504
c1d5345a 505 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 506 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
507 optimize the &linearized_isa method

d7d3f3cb 509 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
3d9e4646 510 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
511 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 512

533
30b8af04 5340.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
b6bcc3a5 535 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
30b8af04 536 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
d7d3f3cb 537
30b8af04 538 * Class::MOP
539 - removed the dependency on B
540 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
541 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
542 the B fiddling we were doing with
543 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
d7d3f3cb 544 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
545 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
30b8af04 546 be used to help manage method caching.
d7d3f3cb 547
548 NOTE:
549 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
550 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
551 even more accurate caching information.
30b8af04 552 blblack++ for that stuff :)
d7d3f3cb 553
6c9f390e 554 * Class::MOP::Class
555 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
d7d3f3cb 556 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
557 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
558 track of when we need to re-fetch the
559 method map.
30b8af04 560 - Several small improvements to take advantage
561 of the new method map caching features
4c4a6c41 562
1b8b3e09 5630.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
d14f6cbe 564 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 565 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
566 HASH ref case, which makes the
d14f6cbe 567 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
568 - added more tests for this
569
742fb371 5700.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007

b7bdffc3 576 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 577 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
578 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
b7bdffc3 579 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
d7d3f3cb 580
5da16d1b 581 * Class::MOP::Attribute
582 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
d7d3f3cb 583 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
5da16d1b 584 can always be used to read or write an attribute.

565f0cbb 620 subclasses now.
621 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 622 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
565f0cbb 623 non-inlined constructors.

648 * t/
649 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
d7d3f3cb 650 it manually now so that people can use this
829f7554 651 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
652
1d7205b8 6530.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
9f88b8ff 654 * t/
d7d3f3cb 655 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
656 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
657 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1d7205b8 658 part anyway)
9f88b8ff 659
28acb786 6600.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
b817e248 661 * Class::MOP::Immutable
0ac992ee 662 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
663 - removed unused variable
d9586da2 664 - added create_immutable_transformer
665 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
d7d3f3cb 666 - tests for this (groditi)
0ac992ee 667
668 * Class::MOP::Class
669 - Immutability can now be undone,
670 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
04dd7510 671 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
672 for details see comments next to make_immutable
673 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
d7d3f3cb 674 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
675 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
04dd7510 676 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
677 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
678 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)

d7d3f3cb 693
795a0c8b 694 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 695 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
795a0c8b 696 handles undef values correctly.
697 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 698 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
699 will not get reaped when instances still
700 exist which need to reference them. This is
701 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
702 obscure enough feature that there are not too
d4ba1677 703 many work arounds out in the wild.
d7d3f3cb 704 - added tests for this by groditi
95514cb4 705 - updated docs to explain this

9363ea89 720 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
721
c23184fc 7220.37_002
d7d3f3cb 723 * /t
724 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
c23184fc 725 No other changes.
726
7270.37_001
d7d3f3cb 728
c23184fc 729 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
d7d3f3cb 730 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
731 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
732 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
733 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
c23184fc 734 anyway.
d7d3f3cb 735
c23184fc 736 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
d7d3f3cb 737
c23184fc 738 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
d7d3f3cb 739 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
c23184fc 740 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
d7d3f3cb 741
c23184fc 742 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 743 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
744 immutable transformation instead of
c23184fc 745 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
d7d3f3cb 746
747 + Class::MOP::Immutable
748 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
749 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
c23184fc 750 be coming eventually.
d7d3f3cb 751
c23184fc 752
cdc1ecba 7530.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
a651e249 754 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 755 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying

0870928c 778 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
d7d3f3cb 779 - all accessor generation functions from

809 encapsulate most of the work into the
b1897d4d 810 &get_method_map method
811 - made several adjustments for the change
812 in Class::MOP::Method
d7d3f3cb 813 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
814 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
b1897d4d 815 old one before installing the new one
816 - added tests for this

830 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
d7d3f3cb 831 the $:version and such just actually goes

88dd563c 834 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 835 - The &create method now requires that all
836 but the package name now is passed in as

876 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
877
9ca19585 878 * Class::MOP::Package
d7d3f3cb 879 - refactored entire class, this is now
9ca19585 880 the primary gateway between the metaclass
881 and the Perl 5 symbol table

373a16ae 9220.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
923 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 924 This is the first version of Class::MOP
373a16ae 925 to introduce the immutable features which
d7d3f3cb 926 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
373a16ae 927 This support should still be considered
928 experimental, but moving towards stability.
929 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 930
931 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
932
933 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
934 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
373a16ae 935 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
e0a82090 936
937 * Class::MOP::Class
938 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
d7d3f3cb 939 - several methods moved to ::Module and
e0a82090 940 ::Package and now inherited
941 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 942
c0cbf4d9 943 * Class::MOP::Instance
d7d3f3cb 944 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
c0cbf4d9 945 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
d7d3f3cb 946 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
947 instance creation (of course)
948
2ba153a9 949 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 950 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
2ba153a9 951 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
d7d3f3cb 952 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
953 because they are now more general purpose symbol
954 table manipulation methods.

957 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
df7b4119 958 * Class::MOP::Class

df7b4119 962
667cecf3 9630.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
964 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
d7d3f3cb 965 - This release works in combination with
667cecf3 966 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
d7d3f3cb 967 because it introduces a new instance
968 sub-protocol and has not yet been
969 optimized.
667cecf3 970
40483095 971 * Class::MOP::Class
972 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected

982 - examples/*
983
1becdfcc 984 * metaclass
985 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
986 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
987 is just assumed
988 - updated tests for this
989
990 * examples/
d7d3f3cb 991 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1becdfcc 992 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
d7d3f3cb 993 HASH refs.
1becdfcc 994 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 995 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
1becdfcc 996 new instance protocol

1011 - added tests for this
1012 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1013 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1014 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
bd4e03f9 1015 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
d7d3f3cb 1016 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
bd4e03f9 1017 delegates appropriately
d7d3f3cb 1018
bd4e03f9 1019 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1020 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1021 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1022 called initialize_instance_slot
d7d3f3cb 1023
fed4cee7 1024 * examples/
d7d3f3cb 1025 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute

d7d3f3cb 1035 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
a977cf65 1036 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
d7d3f3cb 1037
b9dfbf78 1038 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 1039 - read-only accessors ('reader') will now die if
b9dfbf78 1040 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
1041 to them basically)

d7d3f3cb 1043 - adjusted all /example files to comply
a977cf65 1044
f9eba090 10450.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
0eff2c16 1046 * Class::MOP::Class

1050
1988e85e 10510.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
2f6d5412 1052 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 1053 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from

3bf7644b 11030.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
d7d3f3cb 1104 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1105 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
3bf7644b 1106 be considered "ready to use".
1107
22286063 1108 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1109 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1110 - test coverage is now at 99%
d7d3f3cb 1111
aa448b16 1112 * Class::MOP
1113 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or

d7d3f3cb 1132
7b31baf4 1133 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 1134 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1135 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1136 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
7b31baf4 1137 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1138 to have around.
677eb158 1139
99e5b7e8 1140 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 1141 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it

c9e77dbb 1145 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1146 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
d7d3f3cb 1147 since all the same info can be gotten from the
c9e77dbb 1148 attribute meta-object itself
1149 - updated docs & tests to reflect

5f3c057a 1157 - added docs & tests for this
2a7575a6 1158 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1159 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
550d56db 1160 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1161 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1162 - added tests and docs for this
