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)
4e1aac01 10 * MOP.xs
11 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
12 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
13 + Add a test for this (Yappo).
029b8969 14 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
15 (Florian Ragwitz).
4e1aac01 16 + Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
029b8969 17 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
18 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
19 + Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
20 * Tests
21 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
22 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florin Ragwitz).

eca95e04 240.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
47e735e0 25 * No changes from 0.77_01
eca95e04 26
d5f6699d 270.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
4bfa5ddb 28 * Everything
29 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
30 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
d5f6699d 31 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
32 against the pure Perl version of this code.
33
7ebb7bed 34 * Class::MOP::Instance
d5f6699d 35 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
36 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
37
4bfa5ddb 38
8f3fba9b 390.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
9c1dd83f 40 * MOP.xs
41 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
42 (Florian Ragwitz)
43
3079a90e 44 * Class::MOP
45 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
46 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
47 Rolsky)
48
668df632 49 * Class::MOP::Class
50 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
9c1dd83f 51 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
668df632 52
a4bb3172 53 * Class::MOP::Package
c3c1917f 54 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
55 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
56
57 * Makefile.PL
58 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
a4bb3172 59 Ragwitz)
60
8fd32374 61 * Class::MOP::Class
c5c8a954 62 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
8fd32374 63 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
64 near future release. You've been warned.
65
8f3fba9b 660.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
0b305028 67 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
68 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
69 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
70 authors. (mst)
71 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
72 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
73
74 * Class::MOP::Class
75 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
76 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
77
78 * Class::MOP
79 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
80
89f74416 81 * Tests
82 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
83 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
84
a0497979 850.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
d89108ab 86 * Class::MOP::Class
87 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
88 sharing an immutable transformer object
89 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
90 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
91
c16a3087 920.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
d14e06c3 93 * MOP.xs
94 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
95 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
96 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
97 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
98 * Class::MOP::Class
99 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
c6d9b1ff 100 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
d14e06c3 101
2b5fafa1 1020.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
c0757d65 103 * MOP.xs
2b5fafa1 104 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
105 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
106 Ragwitz)
351e5029 107 * t/082_get_code_info.t
2b5fafa1 108 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
109 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
110 succeed in that case.
351e5029 111
8704ee6d 1120.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
6a6f7a2f 113 * Class::MOP::Package
114 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
115 initialized (Sartak)
aa906e42 116 * Class::MOP::Method
adb2b128 117 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
118 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
6a6f7a2f 119
6b5ac420 1200.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
62a0a0f3 121 * Class::MOP::Immutable
122 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
123 the constructor was inlined.
fdc6771b 124 * Class::MOP::Package
125 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
126 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
127 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
128 * MOP.xs
129 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
130 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
62a0a0f3 131
34147f49 1320.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
25a5f083 133 * Class::MOP::Method
134 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
135 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
41885bab 136 * Class::MOP::Immutable
9ec62360 137 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
138 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
41885bab 139 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
140 calls (Sartak)
05e183d1 141 * Class::MOP::Class
142 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
143 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
144 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
145 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
52e5f955 146 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
147 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
148 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
7ef2f4b7 149 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
150 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
151 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
25a5f083 152
96185d43 1530.71 Wed November 26, 2008
d652fbd5 154 * Class::MOP::Class
155 * Class::MOP::Module
156 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
157 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
158 the code (Sartak)
159
88b8ac17 1600.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
161 * Class::MOP
162 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
163 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
164
1650.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
7329b9e2 166 * Class::MOP
167 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
9b1760fc 168 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
7329b9e2 169 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
170 Ragwitz)
7329b9e2 171
52c685d3 1720.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
b88aa2e8 173 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
174 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
175
176
4a9e02e8 1770.68 Fri October 24, 2008
dfbc4d4c 178 * Class::MOP
179 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
180 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
181 (Florian Ragwitz)
5a24cf8a 182 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
183 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
184 times in an eval. (t0m)
dfbc4d4c 185
5f5ee28a 1860.67 Tue October 14, 2008
2e7eb96b 187 * Class::MOP::Class
188 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
189 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
190 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
191 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
34d04967 192 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
193 - added test for this
2e7eb96b 194
34d04967 1950.66 Sat September 20, 2008
fe05cbbe 196 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
197 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
198
9e9e6b8f 199 * Tests and XS
200 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
201 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
e073e667 202 code. (Dave Rolsky)
9e9e6b8f 203
91b73829 204 * Class::MOP::Class
fe05cbbe 205 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
1190621f 206 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
207 aliased methods and "real" methods.
fe05cbbe 208
209 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
7143219b 210 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
fe05cbbe 211 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
212 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
91b73829 213
155f0cba 214 * Class::MOP::Class
215 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
216 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
217 compatibility.
9e9e6b8f 218
94278c1b 2190.65 Mon September 1, 2008
220 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
8b9106cf 221 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
94278c1b 222 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
223 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
224 for sad systems without a compiler.
225
988fb42e 226 * Class::MOP::Method
227 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
228 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
229
230 * MOP.xs
231 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
232 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
233 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
234
13ac653a 2350.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
400982e3 236 * Class::MOP
13ac653a 237 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
238 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
239 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
240 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
400982e3 241
13ac653a 2420.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
9457b596 243 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
244 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
245 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
246
2470.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
2a755fe8 248 * Class::MOP
249 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
250 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
251 code. (Dave Rolsky)
252
253 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
254 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
255 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
256
f65af096 2570.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
9ebc265d 258 * Class::MOP::Class
f65af096 259 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
260
261 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
262 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
263 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
9ebc265d 264
df7077cd 2650.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
266 * Class::MOP::Package
267 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
268 releases. (nothingmuch)
269
270 * Class::MOP
271 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
272
09ed1ec5 2730.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
64c591d3 274 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
4dde2f23 275 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
276
277 * Makefile.PL
278 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
279 Module::Install.
64c591d3 280
09ed1ec5 281 * Class::MOP::Instance
282 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
283
2840.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
f125b31e 285 * Makefile.PL
286 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
287 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
288 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
289 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
2e5c1a3f 290
40b3c18f 291 * many modules
7f799c13 292 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
293 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
294 (nothingmuch).
295
296 * many modules
40b3c18f 297 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
298 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
299 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
300 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
301 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
302
7f799c13 303 * Many modules
304 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
305 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
306 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
307
40b3c18f 308 * Class::MOP::Class
7f799c13 309 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
310 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
311 consistency (nothingmuch)
312 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
313 (nothingmuch)
314 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
315 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
316 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
317 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
318 (nothingmuch)
40b3c18f 319
7202116b 3200.64 Sun August 3, 2008
84bc89b3 321 * Class::MOP::Immutable
7202116b 322 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
84bc89b3 323 call ->meta (stevan)
7202116b 324 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
325
326 * Class::MOP::Instance
327 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
328 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
84bc89b3 329
f079b1eb 3300.63 Mon July 7, 2008
07940968 331 * Class::MOP
332 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
333 the class is already loaded (sartak)
334 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
335 instead of just 1 (sartak)
6e1c8b63 336
f079b1eb 337 * elsewhere
338 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
339
ebce5539 3400.62 Wed June 18, 2008
1377b506 341 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
342 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
343
70ad0655 3440.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
345 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
346 recognizes it correct this time.
a023763e 347
3480.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
809a26fc 349 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
350 to 0.60.

d1dba7a1 353 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
9b522fc4 354
355 * Class::MOP::Class
356 - now stores the instance of the instance
357 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
8b49a472 358 and deletes it when the cache is blown
119f3a92 359 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
360 the options used to make it immutable as well as
361 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
8b49a472 362
363 * Class::MOP::Package
364 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
365 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
366 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
367 ref version.
f6dc69d2 368
369 * Class::MOP
370 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
371 to avoid a segfault
26fcef27 372 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
373 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
ab5e2f48 374 check (Sartak)
375 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
376 names now throw a more direct error in
377 load_class (Sartak)
3f7759c1 378 - tests for this and other aspects of
379 load_class (Sartak)
9b522fc4 380
381 * Class::MOP
382 Class::MOP::Class
383 Class::MOP::Method
384 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
385 Class::MOP::Attribute
386 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
387 it is much faster
388
352c364f 3890.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
62781d9f 390 (late night release engineering)--
391
392 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
393 changes in this release
394
de0f9e1c 3950.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
d1dba7a1 396 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
de0f9e1c 397 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
398
ae234dc6 399 * Class::MOP::Class
400 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
401 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
de0f9e1c 402 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
403 called so much
ae234dc6 404
405 * Class::MOP::Package
406 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
407 &namespace so much
de0f9e1c 408 - inlining a few calls to &name with
409 direct HASH access key access
ae234dc6 410 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
411 a HASH of items based on a type filter
412 similar to list_all_package_symbols
413 - added tests for this
414
32202ce2 415 * Class::MOP::Method
416 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
417 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
418 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
419 - added more descriptive error message to help
420 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
47e20ba2 421 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
32202ce2 422
d1dba7a1 423 * Class::MOP::Immutable
424 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
425 needs one
426 - added tests for this
427
b4009dc1 4280.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
11b56828 429 * Class::MOP
430 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
431 function from MRO::Compat
d7d3f3cb 432 - All XS based functionality now has a
433 Pure Perl alternative
6c34db07 434 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
d7d3f3cb 435 can now be used to force non-XS versions
6c34db07 436 to always be used
11b56828 437
9e517e01 438 * Class::MOP::Attribute
439 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
d7d3f3cb 440 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
def5c0b5 441 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
442 possible
443 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 444
5f3efd66 445 * Class::MOP::Immutable
d7d3f3cb 446 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
5f3efd66 447 making the class immutable
d7d3f3cb 448
5f3efd66 449 * Class::MOP::Class
daf8d8bc 450 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
d7d3f3cb 451 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
5f3efd66 452 allow for it to work.
453 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 454
455 * Class::MOP::Attribute
6c34db07 456 Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 457 Class::MOP::Immutable
6c34db07 458 - any time a method meta object is constructed
d7d3f3cb 459 we make sure to pass the correct package and
6c34db07 460 method name information
d7d3f3cb 461
6c34db07 462 * Class::MOP::Method
463 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
464 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
465 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
d7d3f3cb 466 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
467 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
468 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
469 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
470 throw an error if these are not supplied.
6c34db07 471 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
472 and now store the package_name and name attributes
d7d3f3cb 473 correctly as well
474
475 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
476 Module::Install support has been removed

830b326c 484 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 485 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
486 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
830b326c 487 facilitate chaining
d7d3f3cb 488 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
6e2a700f 489 when it has no init_arg
77a143ba 490 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
491 to support c3 classes.

c1d5345a 561 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 562 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10

564 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
d7d3f3cb 565
c1d5345a 566 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 567 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
568 optimize the &linearized_isa method
c1d5345a 569 and avoid the hack/check for circular
d7d3f3cb 570 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
3d9e4646 571 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
572 - added tests for this

30b8af04 597 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
d7d3f3cb 598
30b8af04 599 * Class::MOP
600 - removed the dependency on B
601 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
602 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
603 the B fiddling we were doing with
604 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
d7d3f3cb 605 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
606 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
30b8af04 607 be used to help manage method caching.
d7d3f3cb 608
609 NOTE:
610 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
611 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
612 even more accurate caching information.
30b8af04 613 blblack++ for that stuff :)
d7d3f3cb 614
6c9f390e 615 * Class::MOP::Class
616 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
d7d3f3cb 617 - added the update_package_cache_flag and

619 track of when we need to re-fetch the
620 method map.
30b8af04 621 - Several small improvements to take advantage
622 of the new method map caching features

d14f6cbe 625 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 626 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
627 HASH ref case, which makes the
d14f6cbe 628 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.

d7d3f3cb 638 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
639 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
b7bdffc3 640 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
d7d3f3cb 641
5da16d1b 642 * Class::MOP::Attribute
643 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
d7d3f3cb 644 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
5da16d1b 645 can always be used to read or write an attribute.

565f0cbb 681 subclasses now.
682 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 683 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
565f0cbb 684 non-inlined constructors.

710 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle

9f88b8ff 715 * t/
d7d3f3cb 716 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
717 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
718 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1d7205b8 719 part anyway)

726 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
d7d3f3cb 727 - tests for this (groditi)
0ac992ee 728
729 * Class::MOP::Class
730 - Immutability can now be undone,
731 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
04dd7510 732 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
733 for details see comments next to make_immutable
734 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
d7d3f3cb 735 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
736 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
04dd7510 737 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
738 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
739 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)

795a0c8b 757 handles undef values correctly.
758 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 759 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
760 will not get reaped when instances still
761 exist which need to reference them. This is
762 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
763 obscure enough feature that there are not too
d4ba1677 764 many work arounds out in the wild.
d7d3f3cb 765 - added tests for this by groditi

d7d3f3cb 789
c23184fc 790 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
d7d3f3cb 791 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
792 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
793 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
794 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
c23184fc 795 anyway.
d7d3f3cb 796
c23184fc 797 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
d7d3f3cb 798
c23184fc 799 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

d7d3f3cb 804 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
805 immutable transformation instead of
c23184fc 806 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
d7d3f3cb 807
808 + Class::MOP::Immutable
809 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
810 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
c23184fc 811 be coming eventually.

868 * Class::MOP::Class

b1897d4d 871 &get_method_map method
872 - made several adjustments for the change
873 in Class::MOP::Method
d7d3f3cb 874 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
875 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
b1897d4d 876 old one before installing the new one
877 - added tests for this

891 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
d7d3f3cb 892 the $:version and such just actually goes

c4260b45 894 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
88dd563c 895 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 896 - The &create method now requires that all
897 but the package name now is passed in as
88dd563c 898 named parameters. See docs for more info.

932 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1396f86b 933
716c5765 9340.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
d7d3f3cb 935 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the

937 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
938
9ca19585 939 * Class::MOP::Package

9ca19585 948 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 949 - refactored all symbol table access to
9ca19585 950 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
d7d3f3cb 951
f0480c45 952 * Class::MOP::Module
953 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
954 so that Module has a version as an attribute
955 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
d7d3f3cb 956 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
957 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
958 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness

373a16ae 9830.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
984 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 985 This is the first version of Class::MOP
373a16ae 986 to introduce the immutable features which
d7d3f3cb 987 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
373a16ae 988 This support should still be considered
989 experimental, but moving towards stability.
990 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 991
992 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
993
994 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
995 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
373a16ae 996 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
e0a82090 997
998 * Class::MOP::Class
999 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
d7d3f3cb 1000 - several methods moved to ::Module and
e0a82090 1001 ::Package and now inherited
1002 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 1003
c0cbf4d9 1004 * Class::MOP::Instance
d7d3f3cb 1005 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
c0cbf4d9 1006 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
d7d3f3cb 1007 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1008 instance creation (of course)
1009
2ba153a9 1010 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 1011 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
2ba153a9 1012 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
d7d3f3cb 1013 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1014 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1015 table manipulation methods.

d7d3f3cb 1026 - This release works in combination with
667cecf3 1027 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release

1050
1051 * examples/
d7d3f3cb 1052 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show

1075 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
bd4e03f9 1076 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
d7d3f3cb 1077 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
bd4e03f9 1078 delegates appropriately
d7d3f3cb 1079
bd4e03f9 1080 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1081 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1082 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1083 called initialize_instance_slot
d7d3f3cb 1084

b9dfbf78 1099 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 1100 - read-only accessors ('reader') will now die if

1170 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1171 - test coverage is now at 99%
d7d3f3cb 1172
aa448b16 1173 * Class::MOP
1174 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
