10 !! Seveal speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
11 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
12
ae234dc6 13 * Class::MOP::Class
14 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
15 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
de0f9e1c 16 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
17 called so much
ae234dc6 18
19 * Class::MOP::Package
20 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
21 &namespace so much
de0f9e1c 22 - inlining a few calls to &name with
23 direct HASH access key access
ae234dc6 24 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
25 a HASH of items based on a type filter
26 similar to list_all_package_symbols
27 - added tests for this
28
32202ce2 29 * Class::MOP::Method
30 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
31 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
32 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
33 - added more descriptive error message to help
34 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
47e20ba2 35 that is easily fixed by upgrading.

11b56828 38 * Class::MOP
39 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
40 function from MRO::Compat
d7d3f3cb 41 - All XS based functionality now has a
42 Pure Perl alternative
6c34db07 43 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
d7d3f3cb 44 can now be used to force non-XS versions
6c34db07 45 to always be used
11b56828 46
9e517e01 47 * Class::MOP::Attribute
48 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
d7d3f3cb 49 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
def5c0b5 50 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
51 possible
52 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 53
5f3efd66 54 * Class::MOP::Immutable
d7d3f3cb 55 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
5f3efd66 56 making the class immutable
d7d3f3cb 57
5f3efd66 58 * Class::MOP::Class
daf8d8bc 59 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
d7d3f3cb 60 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
5f3efd66 61 allow for it to work.
62 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 63
64 * Class::MOP::Attribute
6c34db07 65 Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 66 Class::MOP::Immutable
6c34db07 67 - any time a method meta object is constructed
d7d3f3cb 68 we make sure to pass the correct package and
6c34db07 69 method name information
d7d3f3cb 70
6c34db07 71 * Class::MOP::Method
72 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
73 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
74 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
d7d3f3cb 75 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
76 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
77 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
78 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
79 throw an error if these are not supplied.
6c34db07 80 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
81 and now store the package_name and name attributes
d7d3f3cb 82 correctly as well
83
84 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
85 Module::Install support has been removed
9e517e01 86
8adaad20 870.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
88 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
89 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
90 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
91 perl versions
d7d3f3cb 92
830b326c 93 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 94 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
95 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
830b326c 96 facilitate chaining
d7d3f3cb 97 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
6e2a700f 98 when it has no init_arg
77a143ba 99 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
100 to support c3 classes.
830b326c 101
e0db39d2 1020.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
8861fab2 103 * Class::MOP

d7d3f3cb 126 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
127 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
128
d7b2249e 129 * Class::MOP::Instance
d7d3f3cb 130 Class::MOP::Immutable
d7b2249e 131 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
d7d3f3cb 132
10dd437b 133 * t/
d7d3f3cb 134 - fixed the filename length on several
10dd437b 135 test files so we install on VMS better

144 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
145 Class::MOP::Attribute

c1d5345a 170 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 171 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
c1d5345a 172 constant so that we can take advantage
173 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
d7d3f3cb 174
c1d5345a 175 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 176 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
177 optimize the &linearized_isa method
c1d5345a 178 and avoid the hack/check for circular
d7d3f3cb 179 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
3d9e4646 180 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
181 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 182

203
30b8af04 2040.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
b6bcc3a5 205 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
30b8af04 206 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
d7d3f3cb 207
30b8af04 208 * Class::MOP
209 - removed the dependency on B
210 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
211 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
212 the B fiddling we were doing with
213 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
d7d3f3cb 214 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
215 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
30b8af04 216 be used to help manage method caching.
d7d3f3cb 217
218 NOTE:
219 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
220 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
221 even more accurate caching information.
30b8af04 222 blblack++ for that stuff :)
d7d3f3cb 223
6c9f390e 224 * Class::MOP::Class
225 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
d7d3f3cb 226 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
227 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
228 track of when we need to re-fetch the
229 method map.
30b8af04 230 - Several small improvements to take advantage
231 of the new method map caching features
4c4a6c41 232
1b8b3e09 2330.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
d14f6cbe 234 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 235 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
236 HASH ref case, which makes the
d14f6cbe 237 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
238 - added more tests for this
239
742fb371 2400.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
241 * Class::MOP::Attribute

b7bdffc3 246 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 247 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
248 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
b7bdffc3 249 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
d7d3f3cb 250
5da16d1b 251 * Class::MOP::Attribute
252 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
d7d3f3cb 253 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
5da16d1b 254 can always be used to read or write an attribute.

310
92af7fdf 311 * Class::MOP::Package
312 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
d7d3f3cb 313

829f7554 3170.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
318 * t/
319 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
d7d3f3cb 320 it manually now so that people can use this
829f7554 321 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
322
1d7205b8 3230.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
9f88b8ff 324 * t/
d7d3f3cb 325 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
326 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
327 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1d7205b8 328 part anyway)
9f88b8ff 329
28acb786 3300.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
b817e248 331 * Class::MOP::Immutable
0ac992ee 332 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
333 - removed unused variable
d9586da2 334 - added create_immutable_transformer
335 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
d7d3f3cb 336 - tests for this (groditi)
0ac992ee 337
338 * Class::MOP::Class
339 - Immutability can now be undone,
340 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
04dd7510 341 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
342 for details see comments next to make_immutable
343 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
d7d3f3cb 344 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
345 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
04dd7510 346 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
347 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
348 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)

c0fcd6ab 3500.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
823a5d31 351 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
d7d3f3cb 352
823a5d31 353 * Class::MOP::Package

d7d3f3cb 357
b25109b1 358 * Class::MOP::Attribute
359 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
d7d3f3cb 360 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
c81de280 361 and docs.
b25109b1 362 - added tests and POD for this
d7d3f3cb 363
795a0c8b 364 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 365 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
795a0c8b 366 handles undef values correctly.
367 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 368 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
369 will not get reaped when instances still
370 exist which need to reference them. This is
371 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
372 obscure enough feature that there are not too
d4ba1677 373 many work arounds out in the wild.
d7d3f3cb 374 - added tests for this by groditi
95514cb4 375 - updated docs to explain this
376
377 * metaclass
c0fcd6ab 378 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
f2266181 379 - added tests for this behavior

d7d3f3cb 389 - default now checks the instance with defined to
9363ea89 390 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
391
c23184fc 3920.37_002
d7d3f3cb 393 * /t
394 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
c23184fc 395 No other changes.
396
3970.37_001
d7d3f3cb 398
c23184fc 399 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
d7d3f3cb 400 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
401 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
402 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
403 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
c23184fc 404 anyway.
d7d3f3cb 405
c23184fc 406 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
d7d3f3cb 407
c23184fc 408 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
d7d3f3cb 409 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
c23184fc 410 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
d7d3f3cb 411
c23184fc 412 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 413 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
414 immutable transformation instead of
c23184fc 415 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
d7d3f3cb 416
417 + Class::MOP::Immutable
418 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
419 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
c23184fc 420 be coming eventually.
d7d3f3cb 421
c23184fc 422
cdc1ecba 4230.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
a651e249 424 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 425 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
426 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
a651e249 427 global destruction.
d7d3f3cb 428
0870928c 429 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 430 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new

d7d3f3cb 437
0870928c 438 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
d7d3f3cb 439 - created this to handle constructor generation
0870928c 440 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
d7d3f3cb 441
0870928c 442 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 443 *** API CHANGE ***
444 - attributes now delegate to the
445 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
0870928c 446 accessors
d7d3f3cb 447
0870928c 448 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
d7d3f3cb 449 - all accessor generation functions from
0870928c 450 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
a651e249 451
80f00c79 4520.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
8745cf22 453
454 * scripts/class_browser.pl
d7d3f3cb 455 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
456 on this to come. Comments and patches are
8745cf22 457 very much welcome.
b1897d4d 458
459 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 460 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
461 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
6d2118a4 462 they are aliased from the originals

c4260b45 499 * Class::MOP::Class
500 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
d7d3f3cb 501 the $:version and such just actually goes
502 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
c4260b45 503 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
88dd563c 504 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 505 - The &create method now requires that all

9ca19585 548 * Class::MOP::Package
d7d3f3cb 549 - refactored entire class, this is now
9ca19585 550 the primary gateway between the metaclass
551 and the Perl 5 symbol table
552 - added many tests for this
d7d3f3cb 553 - this class is now a subclass of

563 so that Module has a version as an attribute
564 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
d7d3f3cb 565 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
566 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
567 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness

593 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 594 This is the first version of Class::MOP
373a16ae 595 to introduce the immutable features which
d7d3f3cb 596 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
373a16ae 597 This support should still be considered
598 experimental, but moving towards stability.
599 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 600
601 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
602
603 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
604 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
373a16ae 605 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
e0a82090 606
607 * Class::MOP::Class
608 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
d7d3f3cb 609 - several methods moved to ::Module and
e0a82090 610 ::Package and now inherited
611 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 612
c0cbf4d9 613 * Class::MOP::Instance

617 instance creation (of course)
618
2ba153a9 619 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 620 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
2ba153a9 621 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
d7d3f3cb 622 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
623 because they are now more general purpose symbol
624 table manipulation methods.

657 is just assumed
658 - updated tests for this
659
660 * examples/
d7d3f3cb 661 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1becdfcc 662 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of

d7d3f3cb 686 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
bd4e03f9 687 delegates appropriately
d7d3f3cb 688
bd4e03f9 689 * Class::MOP::Attribute

3bf7644b 776 be considered "ready to use".
777
22286063 778 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
779 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
