b6bcc3a5 164 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
30b8af04 165 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
166
167 * Class::MOP
168 - removed the dependency on B
169 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
170 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
171 the B fiddling we were doing with
172 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
173 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
174 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
175 be used to help manage method caching.
176
177 NOTE:
178 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
179 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
180 even more accurate caching information.
181 blblack++ for that stuff :)
182
6c9f390e 183 * Class::MOP::Class
184 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
30b8af04 185 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
186 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
187 track of when we need to re-fetch the
188 method map.
189 - Several small improvements to take advantage
190 of the new method map caching features
4c4a6c41 191

b7bdffc3 205 * Class::MOP::Class
206 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly

208 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
5da16d1b 209
210 * Class::MOP::Attribute
211 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
212 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
213 can always be used to read or write an attribute.

281
1d7205b8 2820.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
9f88b8ff 283 * t/
284 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1d7205b8 285 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
286 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
287 part anyway)
9f88b8ff 288
28acb786 2890.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
b817e248 290 * Class::MOP::Immutable
0ac992ee 291 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
292 - removed unused variable
d9586da2 293 - added create_immutable_transformer
294 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
295 - tests for this (groditi)
0ac992ee 296
297 * Class::MOP::Class
298 - Immutability can now be undone,
299 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
04dd7510 300 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
301 for details see comments next to make_immutable
302 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
303 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
304 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
305 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
306 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
307 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)

c0fcd6ab 3090.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
823a5d31 310 ~~ More documentation updates ~~

c0fcd6ab 315 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
c81de280 316
b25109b1 317 * Class::MOP::Attribute
318 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
c81de280 319 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
320 and docs.
b25109b1 321 - added tests and POD for this
795a0c8b 322
323 * Class::MOP::Class
324 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
325 handles undef values correctly.
326 - added tests for this
d4ba1677 327 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
328 will not get reaped when instances still
329 exist which need to reference them. This is
330 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
331 obscure enough feature that there are not too
332 many work arounds out in the wild.
333 - added tests for this by groditi
95514cb4 334 - updated docs to explain this
335
336 * metaclass

350
c23184fc 3510.37_002
352 * /t
353 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
354 No other changes.
355
3560.37_001
357
358 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
359 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
360 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
361 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
362 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
363 anyway.
364
365 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
366
367 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
368 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
369 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
370
371 * Class::MOP::Class
372 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
373 immutable transformation instead of
374 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
375
376 + Class::MOP::Immutable
377 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
378 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
379 be coming eventually.

b1897d4d 435
436 * Class::MOP::Class

438 encapsulate most of the work into the
439 &get_method_map method
440 - made several adjustments for the change

462 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
88dd563c 463 ** API CHANGE **
464 - The &create method now requires that all

505 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
506
9ca19585 507 * Class::MOP::Package

373a16ae 5510.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
552 ---------------------------------------
553 This is the first version of Class::MOP
554 to introduce the immutable features which
555 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
556 This support should still be considered
557 experimental, but moving towards stability.
558 ---------------------------------------
e0a82090 559
373a16ae 560 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
be960ba1 561
373a16ae 562 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
563 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
564 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
e0a82090 565
566 * Class::MOP::Class
567 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
568 - several methods moved to ::Module and
569 ::Package and now inherited
570 - added tests for this
c0cbf4d9 571
572 * Class::MOP::Instance
573 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
574 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
be960ba1 575 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
576 instance creation (of course)
577
2ba153a9 578 ** API CHANGE **
579 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
580 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
581 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
582 because they are now more general purpose symbol
583 table manipulation methods.

593 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
594 - This release works in combination with
595 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
596 because it introduces a new instance
597 sub-protocol and has not yet been
598 optimized.
599

615 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
616 is just assumed
617 - updated tests for this
618
619 * examples/
620 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
621 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of

bd4e03f9 644 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
645 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
646 delegates appropriately
647
648 * Class::MOP::Attribute
649 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
650 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
651 called initialize_instance_slot
fed4cee7 652
653 * examples/
654 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
655 initialize_instance_slot method

f3f5bd34 731
3bf7644b 7320.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
733 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
734 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
735 be considered "ready to use".
736
22286063 737 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
738 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
739 - test coverage is now at 99%
aa448b16 740
741 * Class::MOP
742 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
743 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
744 metaclass pragma instead.

763 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
764 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
765 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
766 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
767 to have around.
677eb158 768
99e5b7e8 769 * Class::MOP::Class
770 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
771 is now more useful for subclasses
7b31baf4 772 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
773 hash of attribute meta objects
c9e77dbb 774 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
775 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
776 since all the same info can be gotten from the
777 attribute meta-object itself
