2c1f5348 30.79
4 * Class::MOP::Class
5 * Class::MOP::Instance
6 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
7 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
8 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
9 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
10
eca95e04 110.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
47e735e0 12 * No changes from 0.77_01
eca95e04 13
d5f6699d 140.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
4bfa5ddb 15 * Everything
16 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
17 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
d5f6699d 18 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
19 against the pure Perl version of this code.
20
7ebb7bed 21 * Class::MOP::Instance
d5f6699d 22 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
23 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
24
4bfa5ddb 25
8f3fba9b 260.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
9c1dd83f 27 * MOP.xs
28 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
29 (Florian Ragwitz)
30
3079a90e 31 * Class::MOP
32 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
33 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
34 Rolsky)
35
668df632 36 * Class::MOP::Class
37 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
9c1dd83f 38 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
668df632 39
a4bb3172 40 * Class::MOP::Package
c3c1917f 41 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
42 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
43
44 * Makefile.PL
45 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
a4bb3172 46 Ragwitz)
47
8fd32374 48 * Class::MOP::Class
c5c8a954 49 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
8fd32374 50 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
51 near future release. You've been warned.
52
8f3fba9b 530.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
0b305028 54 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
55 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
56 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
57 authors. (mst)
58 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
59 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
60
61 * Class::MOP::Class
62 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
63 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
64
65 * Class::MOP
66 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
67
89f74416 68 * Tests
69 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
70 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
71
a0497979 720.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
d89108ab 73 * Class::MOP::Class
74 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
75 sharing an immutable transformer object
76 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
77 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
78
c16a3087 790.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
d14e06c3 80 * MOP.xs
81 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
82 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
83 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
84 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
85 * Class::MOP::Class
86 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
c6d9b1ff 87 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
d14e06c3 88
2b5fafa1 890.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
c0757d65 90 * MOP.xs
2b5fafa1 91 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
92 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
93 Ragwitz)
351e5029 94 * t/082_get_code_info.t
2b5fafa1 95 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
96 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
97 succeed in that case.
351e5029 98
8704ee6d 990.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
6a6f7a2f 100 * Class::MOP::Package
101 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
102 initialized (Sartak)
aa906e42 103 * Class::MOP::Method
adb2b128 104 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
105 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
6a6f7a2f 106
6b5ac420 1070.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
62a0a0f3 108 * Class::MOP::Immutable
109 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
110 the constructor was inlined.
fdc6771b 111 * Class::MOP::Package
112 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
113 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
114 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
115 * MOP.xs
116 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
117 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
62a0a0f3 118
34147f49 1190.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
25a5f083 120 * Class::MOP::Method
121 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
122 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
41885bab 123 * Class::MOP::Immutable
9ec62360 124 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
125 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
41885bab 126 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
127 calls (Sartak)
05e183d1 128 * Class::MOP::Class
129 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
130 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
131 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
132 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
52e5f955 133 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
134 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
135 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
7ef2f4b7 136 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
137 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
138 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
25a5f083 139
96185d43 1400.71 Wed November 26, 2008
d652fbd5 141 * Class::MOP::Class
142 * Class::MOP::Module
143 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
144 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
145 the code (Sartak)
146
88b8ac17 1470.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
148 * Class::MOP
149 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
150 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
151
1520.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
7329b9e2 153 * Class::MOP
154 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
9b1760fc 155 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
7329b9e2 156 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
157 Ragwitz)
7329b9e2 158
52c685d3 1590.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
b88aa2e8 160 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
161 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
162
163
4a9e02e8 1640.68 Fri October 24, 2008
dfbc4d4c 165 * Class::MOP
166 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
167 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
168 (Florian Ragwitz)
5a24cf8a 169 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
170 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
171 times in an eval. (t0m)
dfbc4d4c 172
5f5ee28a 1730.67 Tue October 14, 2008
2e7eb96b 174 * Class::MOP::Class
175 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
176 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
177 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
178 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
34d04967 179 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
180 - added test for this
2e7eb96b 181
34d04967 1820.66 Sat September 20, 2008
fe05cbbe 183 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
184 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
185
9e9e6b8f 186 * Tests and XS
187 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
188 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
e073e667 189 code. (Dave Rolsky)
9e9e6b8f 190
91b73829 191 * Class::MOP::Class
fe05cbbe 192 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
1190621f 193 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
194 aliased methods and "real" methods.
fe05cbbe 195
196 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
7143219b 197 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
fe05cbbe 198 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
199 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
91b73829 200
155f0cba 201 * Class::MOP::Class
202 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
203 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
204 compatibility.
9e9e6b8f 205
94278c1b 2060.65 Mon September 1, 2008
207 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
8b9106cf 208 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
94278c1b 209 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
210 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
211 for sad systems without a compiler.
212
988fb42e 213 * Class::MOP::Method
214 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
215 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
216
217 * MOP.xs
218 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
219 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
220 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
221
13ac653a 2220.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
400982e3 223 * Class::MOP
13ac653a 224 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
225 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
226 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
227 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
400982e3 228
13ac653a 2290.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
9457b596 230 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
231 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
232 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
233
2340.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
2a755fe8 235 * Class::MOP
236 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
237 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
238 code. (Dave Rolsky)
239
240 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
241 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
242 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
243
f65af096 2440.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
9ebc265d 245 * Class::MOP::Class
f65af096 246 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
247
248 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
249 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
250 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
9ebc265d 251
df7077cd 2520.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
253 * Class::MOP::Package
254 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
255 releases. (nothingmuch)
256
257 * Class::MOP
258 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
259
09ed1ec5 2600.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
64c591d3 261 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
4dde2f23 262 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
263
264 * Makefile.PL
265 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
266 Module::Install.
64c591d3 267
09ed1ec5 268 * Class::MOP::Instance
269 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
270
2710.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
f125b31e 272 * Makefile.PL
273 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
274 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
275 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
276 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
2e5c1a3f 277
40b3c18f 278 * many modules
7f799c13 279 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
280 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
281 (nothingmuch).
282
283 * many modules
40b3c18f 284 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
285 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
286 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
287 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
288 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
289
7f799c13 290 * Many modules
291 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
292 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
293 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
294
40b3c18f 295 * Class::MOP::Class
7f799c13 296 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
297 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
298 consistency (nothingmuch)
299 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
300 (nothingmuch)
301 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
302 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
303 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
304 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
305 (nothingmuch)
40b3c18f 306
7202116b 3070.64 Sun August 3, 2008
84bc89b3 308 * Class::MOP::Immutable
7202116b 309 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
84bc89b3 310 call ->meta (stevan)
7202116b 311 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
312
313 * Class::MOP::Instance
314 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
315 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
84bc89b3 316
f079b1eb 3170.63 Mon July 7, 2008
07940968 318 * Class::MOP
319 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
320 the class is already loaded (sartak)
321 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
322 instead of just 1 (sartak)
6e1c8b63 323
f079b1eb 324 * elsewhere
325 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
326
ebce5539 3270.62 Wed June 18, 2008
1377b506 328 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
329 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
330
70ad0655 3310.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
332 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
333 recognizes it correct this time.
a023763e 334
3350.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
809a26fc 336 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
337 to 0.60.

3390.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
d1dba7a1 340 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
9b522fc4 341
342 * Class::MOP::Class
343 - now stores the instance of the instance
344 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
8b49a472 345 and deletes it when the cache is blown
119f3a92 346 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
347 the options used to make it immutable as well as
348 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
8b49a472 349
350 * Class::MOP::Package
351 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
352 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
353 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
354 ref version.
f6dc69d2 355
356 * Class::MOP
357 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
358 to avoid a segfault
26fcef27 359 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
360 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
ab5e2f48 361 check (Sartak)
362 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
363 names now throw a more direct error in
364 load_class (Sartak)
3f7759c1 365 - tests for this and other aspects of
366 load_class (Sartak)
9b522fc4 367
368 * Class::MOP
369 Class::MOP::Class
370 Class::MOP::Method
371 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
372 Class::MOP::Attribute
373 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
374 it is much faster
375
352c364f 3760.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
62781d9f 377 (late night release engineering)--
378
379 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
380 changes in this release
381
de0f9e1c 3820.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
d1dba7a1 383 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
de0f9e1c 384 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
385
ae234dc6 386 * Class::MOP::Class
387 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
388 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
de0f9e1c 389 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
390 called so much
ae234dc6 391
392 * Class::MOP::Package
393 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
394 &namespace so much
de0f9e1c 395 - inlining a few calls to &name with
396 direct HASH access key access
ae234dc6 397 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
398 a HASH of items based on a type filter
399 similar to list_all_package_symbols
400 - added tests for this
401
32202ce2 402 * Class::MOP::Method
403 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
404 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
405 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
406 - added more descriptive error message to help
407 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
47e20ba2 408 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
32202ce2 409
d1dba7a1 410 * Class::MOP::Immutable
411 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
412 needs one
413 - added tests for this
414
b4009dc1 4150.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
11b56828 416 * Class::MOP
417 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
418 function from MRO::Compat
d7d3f3cb 419 - All XS based functionality now has a
420 Pure Perl alternative
6c34db07 421 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
d7d3f3cb 422 can now be used to force non-XS versions
6c34db07 423 to always be used
11b56828 424
9e517e01 425 * Class::MOP::Attribute
426 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
d7d3f3cb 427 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
def5c0b5 428 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
429 possible
430 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 431
5f3efd66 432 * Class::MOP::Immutable
d7d3f3cb 433 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
5f3efd66 434 making the class immutable
d7d3f3cb 435
5f3efd66 436 * Class::MOP::Class
daf8d8bc 437 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
d7d3f3cb 438 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
5f3efd66 439 allow for it to work.
440 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 441
442 * Class::MOP::Attribute
6c34db07 443 Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 444 Class::MOP::Immutable
6c34db07 445 - any time a method meta object is constructed
d7d3f3cb 446 we make sure to pass the correct package and
6c34db07 447 method name information
d7d3f3cb 448
6c34db07 449 * Class::MOP::Method
450 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
451 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
452 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
d7d3f3cb 453 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
454 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
455 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
456 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
457 throw an error if these are not supplied.
6c34db07 458 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
459 and now store the package_name and name attributes
d7d3f3cb 460 correctly as well
461
462 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
463 Module::Install support has been removed
9e517e01 464
8adaad20 4650.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
466 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
467 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
468 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
469 perl versions

830b326c 471 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 472 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
473 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
830b326c 474 facilitate chaining
d7d3f3cb 475 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
6e2a700f 476 when it has no init_arg
77a143ba 477 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
478 to support c3 classes.

c1d5345a 548 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 549 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
c1d5345a 550 constant so that we can take advantage
551 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
d7d3f3cb 552
c1d5345a 553 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 554 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
555 optimize the &linearized_isa method
c1d5345a 556 and avoid the hack/check for circular
d7d3f3cb 557 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
3d9e4646 558 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
559 - added tests for this

30b8af04 584 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
d7d3f3cb 585
30b8af04 586 * Class::MOP
587 - removed the dependency on B
588 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
589 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
590 the B fiddling we were doing with
591 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
d7d3f3cb 592 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
593 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
30b8af04 594 be used to help manage method caching.
d7d3f3cb 595
596 NOTE:
597 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
598 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
599 even more accurate caching information.
30b8af04 600 blblack++ for that stuff :)
d7d3f3cb 601
6c9f390e 602 * Class::MOP::Class
603 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
d7d3f3cb 604 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
605 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
606 track of when we need to re-fetch the
607 method map.
30b8af04 608 - Several small improvements to take advantage
609 of the new method map caching features

d14f6cbe 612 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 613 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
614 HASH ref case, which makes the
d14f6cbe 615 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.

d7d3f3cb 625 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
626 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
b7bdffc3 627 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
d7d3f3cb 628
5da16d1b 629 * Class::MOP::Attribute
630 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
d7d3f3cb 631 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
5da16d1b 632 can always be used to read or write an attribute.

565f0cbb 668 subclasses now.
669 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 670 - added the option to allow for both inlined and

9f88b8ff 702 * t/
d7d3f3cb 703 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
704 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
705 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1d7205b8 706 part anyway)

d9586da2 712 - added create_immutable_transformer
713 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
d7d3f3cb 714 - tests for this (groditi)
0ac992ee 715
716 * Class::MOP::Class
717 - Immutability can now be undone,
718 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
04dd7510 719 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
720 for details see comments next to make_immutable
721 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
d7d3f3cb 722 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
723 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
04dd7510 724 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
725 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
726 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)

795a0c8b 744 handles undef values correctly.
745 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 746 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
747 will not get reaped when instances still
748 exist which need to reference them. This is
749 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
750 obscure enough feature that there are not too
d4ba1677 751 many work arounds out in the wild.
d7d3f3cb 752 - added tests for this by groditi
95514cb4 753 - updated docs to explain this

d7d3f3cb 776
c23184fc 777 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
d7d3f3cb 778 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
779 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
780 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
781 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
c23184fc 782 anyway.
d7d3f3cb 783
c23184fc 784 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
d7d3f3cb 785
c23184fc 786 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

d7d3f3cb 789
c23184fc 790 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 791 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
792 immutable transformation instead of
c23184fc 793 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
d7d3f3cb 794
795 + Class::MOP::Immutable
796 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
797 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
c23184fc 798 be coming eventually.

857 encapsulate most of the work into the
b1897d4d 858 &get_method_map method
859 - made several adjustments for the change
860 in Class::MOP::Method
d7d3f3cb 861 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
862 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
b1897d4d 863 old one before installing the new one
864 - added tests for this

878 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
d7d3f3cb 879 the $:version and such just actually goes
880 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
c4260b45 881 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
88dd563c 882 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 883 - The &create method now requires that all
884 but the package name now is passed in as
88dd563c 885 named parameters. See docs for more info.

924 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
925
9ca19585 926 * Class::MOP::Package
d7d3f3cb 927 - refactored entire class, this is now
9ca19585 928 the primary gateway between the metaclass
929 and the Perl 5 symbol table
930 - added many tests for this
d7d3f3cb 931 - this class is now a subclass of
6e57504d 932 Class::MOP::Object

940 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
941 so that Module has a version as an attribute
942 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
d7d3f3cb 943 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
944 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
945 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
946 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules

373a16ae 9700.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
971 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 972 This is the first version of Class::MOP
373a16ae 973 to introduce the immutable features which
d7d3f3cb 974 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
373a16ae 975 This support should still be considered
976 experimental, but moving towards stability.
977 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 978
979 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
980
981 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
982 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
373a16ae 983 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
e0a82090 984
985 * Class::MOP::Class
986 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
d7d3f3cb 987 - several methods moved to ::Module and
e0a82090 988 ::Package and now inherited
989 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 990
c0cbf4d9 991 * Class::MOP::Instance
d7d3f3cb 992 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
c0cbf4d9 993 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
d7d3f3cb 994 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
995 instance creation (of course)
996
2ba153a9 997 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 998 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
2ba153a9 999 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
d7d3f3cb 1000 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1001 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1002 table manipulation methods.

df7b4119 1010
667cecf3 10110.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1012 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
d7d3f3cb 1013 - This release works in combination with
667cecf3 1014 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
d7d3f3cb 1015 because it introduces a new instance
1016 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1017 optimized.
667cecf3 1018

1033 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
1034 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1035 is just assumed
1036 - updated tests for this
1037
1038 * examples/
d7d3f3cb 1039 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1becdfcc 1040 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
d7d3f3cb 1041 HASH refs.

1062 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
bd4e03f9 1063 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
d7d3f3cb 1064 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
bd4e03f9 1065 delegates appropriately
d7d3f3cb 1066
bd4e03f9 1067 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1068 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1069 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1070 called initialize_instance_slot
d7d3f3cb 1071
fed4cee7 1072 * examples/
d7d3f3cb 1073 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute

d7d3f3cb 1083 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
a977cf65 1084 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
d7d3f3cb 1085
b9dfbf78 1086 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 1087 - read-only accessors ('reader') will now die if
b9dfbf78 1088 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
1089 to them basically)

a977cf65 1092
f9eba090 10930.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
0eff2c16 1094 * Class::MOP::Class

1096 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
1097 - added test case for this
1098
1988e85e 10990.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
2f6d5412 1100 * Class::MOP::Class

3bf7644b 11510.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
d7d3f3cb 1152 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1153 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
3bf7644b 1154 be considered "ready to use".
1155
22286063 1156 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1157 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1158 - test coverage is now at 99%
d7d3f3cb 1159
aa448b16 1160 * Class::MOP
1161 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or

1183 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1184 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
7b31baf4 1185 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1186 to have around.

c9e77dbb 1193 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1194 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
d7d3f3cb 1195 since all the same info can be gotten from the
c9e77dbb 1196 attribute meta-object itself
1197 - updated docs & tests to reflect

1209 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1210 - added tests and docs for this
