9b522fc4 30.59
4
5 * Class::MOP::Class
6 - now stores the instance of the instance
7 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
8b49a472 8 and deletes it when the cache is blown
9
10 * Class::MOP::Package
11 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
12 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
13 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
14 ref version.
f6dc69d2 15
16 * Class::MOP
17 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
18 to avoid a segfault
26fcef27 19 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
20 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
21 check
9b522fc4 22
23 * Class::MOP
24 Class::MOP::Class
25 Class::MOP::Method
26 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
27 Class::MOP::Attribute
28 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
29 it is much faster

62781d9f 32 (late night release engineering)--
33
34 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
35 changes in this release

de0f9e1c 370.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
38 !! Seveal speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
39 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
40
ae234dc6 41 * Class::MOP::Class
42 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
43 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
de0f9e1c 44 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
45 called so much
ae234dc6 46
47 * Class::MOP::Package
48 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
49 &namespace so much
de0f9e1c 50 - inlining a few calls to &name with
51 direct HASH access key access
ae234dc6 52 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
53 a HASH of items based on a type filter
54 similar to list_all_package_symbols
55 - added tests for this
56
32202ce2 57 * Class::MOP::Method
58 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
59 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
60 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
61 - added more descriptive error message to help
62 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
47e20ba2 63 that is easily fixed by upgrading.

11b56828 66 * Class::MOP
67 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
68 function from MRO::Compat
d7d3f3cb 69 - All XS based functionality now has a
70 Pure Perl alternative
6c34db07 71 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
d7d3f3cb 72 can now be used to force non-XS versions
6c34db07 73 to always be used
11b56828 74
9e517e01 75 * Class::MOP::Attribute
76 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
d7d3f3cb 77 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
def5c0b5 78 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
79 possible
80 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 81
5f3efd66 82 * Class::MOP::Immutable
d7d3f3cb 83 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
5f3efd66 84 making the class immutable
d7d3f3cb 85
5f3efd66 86 * Class::MOP::Class
daf8d8bc 87 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
d7d3f3cb 88 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
5f3efd66 89 allow for it to work.
90 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 91
92 * Class::MOP::Attribute
6c34db07 93 Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 94 Class::MOP::Immutable
6c34db07 95 - any time a method meta object is constructed
d7d3f3cb 96 we make sure to pass the correct package and
6c34db07 97 method name information
d7d3f3cb 98
6c34db07 99 * Class::MOP::Method
100 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
101 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
102 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
d7d3f3cb 103 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
104 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
105 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
106 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
107 throw an error if these are not supplied.
6c34db07 108 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
109 and now store the package_name and name attributes
d7d3f3cb 110 correctly as well
111
112 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
113 Module::Install support has been removed
9e517e01 114

118 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
119 perl versions
d7d3f3cb 120
830b326c 121 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 122 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
123 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
830b326c 124 facilitate chaining
d7d3f3cb 125 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
6e2a700f 126 when it has no init_arg
77a143ba 127 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
128 to support c3 classes.
830b326c 129
e0db39d2 1300.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008

150 Class::MOP::Package
151 Class::MOP::Module
152 Class::MOP::Method
153 Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 154 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
155 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
156
d7b2249e 157 * Class::MOP::Instance
d7d3f3cb 158 Class::MOP::Immutable
d7b2249e 159 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
d7d3f3cb 160
10dd437b 161 * t/

172 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
173 Class::MOP::Attribute

c1d5345a 198 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 199 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
c1d5345a 200 constant so that we can take advantage
201 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
d7d3f3cb 202
c1d5345a 203 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 204 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
205 optimize the &linearized_isa method
c1d5345a 206 and avoid the hack/check for circular
d7d3f3cb 207 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
3d9e4646 208 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
209 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 210
211 * Class::MOP::Immutable
212 - the immutable class now keeps track of
c1d5345a 213 the transformer which immutablized it

231
30b8af04 2320.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
b6bcc3a5 233 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
30b8af04 234 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
d7d3f3cb 235
30b8af04 236 * Class::MOP
237 - removed the dependency on B
238 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
239 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
240 the B fiddling we were doing with
241 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
d7d3f3cb 242 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
243 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
30b8af04 244 be used to help manage method caching.
d7d3f3cb 245
246 NOTE:
247 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
248 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
249 even more accurate caching information.
30b8af04 250 blblack++ for that stuff :)
d7d3f3cb 251
6c9f390e 252 * Class::MOP::Class
253 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
d7d3f3cb 254 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
255 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
256 track of when we need to re-fetch the
257 method map.
30b8af04 258 - Several small improvements to take advantage
259 of the new method map caching features
4c4a6c41 260
1b8b3e09 2610.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
d14f6cbe 262 * Class::MOP::Attribute
d7d3f3cb 263 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
264 HASH ref case, which makes the
d14f6cbe 265 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
266 - added more tests for this
267
742fb371 2680.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
269 * Class::MOP::Attribute

b7bdffc3 274 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 275 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
276 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
b7bdffc3 277 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
d7d3f3cb 278
5da16d1b 279 * Class::MOP::Attribute
280 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
d7d3f3cb 281 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
5da16d1b 282 can always be used to read or write an attribute.

d7d3f3cb 317 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
565f0cbb 318 subclasses now.
319 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 320 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
565f0cbb 321 non-inlined constructors.
b08fd50c 322 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
565f0cbb 323

338
92af7fdf 339 * Class::MOP::Package
340 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
d7d3f3cb 341
92af7fdf 342 * t/

92af7fdf 344
829f7554 3450.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
346 * t/
347 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
d7d3f3cb 348 it manually now so that people can use this
829f7554 349 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
350
1d7205b8 3510.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
9f88b8ff 352 * t/
d7d3f3cb 353 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
354 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
355 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1d7205b8 356 part anyway)
9f88b8ff 357
28acb786 3580.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
b817e248 359 * Class::MOP::Immutable
0ac992ee 360 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
361 - removed unused variable
d9586da2 362 - added create_immutable_transformer
363 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
d7d3f3cb 364 - tests for this (groditi)
0ac992ee 365
366 * Class::MOP::Class
367 - Immutability can now be undone,
368 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
04dd7510 369 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
370 for details see comments next to make_immutable
371 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
d7d3f3cb 372 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
373 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
04dd7510 374 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
375 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
376 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)

c0fcd6ab 3780.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
823a5d31 379 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
d7d3f3cb 380
823a5d31 381 * Class::MOP::Package

d7d3f3cb 385
b25109b1 386 * Class::MOP::Attribute
387 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
d7d3f3cb 388 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
c81de280 389 and docs.
b25109b1 390 - added tests and POD for this
d7d3f3cb 391
795a0c8b 392 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 393 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
795a0c8b 394 handles undef values correctly.
395 - added tests for this
d7d3f3cb 396 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
397 will not get reaped when instances still
398 exist which need to reference them. This is
399 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
400 obscure enough feature that there are not too
d4ba1677 401 many work arounds out in the wild.
d7d3f3cb 402 - added tests for this by groditi
95514cb4 403 - updated docs to explain this
404
405 * metaclass
c0fcd6ab 406 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
f2266181 407 - added tests for this behavior

d7d3f3cb 417 - default now checks the instance with defined to
9363ea89 418 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
419
c23184fc 4200.37_002
d7d3f3cb 421 * /t
422 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
c23184fc 423 No other changes.
424
4250.37_001
d7d3f3cb 426
c23184fc 427 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
d7d3f3cb 428 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
429 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
430 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
431 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
c23184fc 432 anyway.
d7d3f3cb 433
c23184fc 434 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
d7d3f3cb 435
c23184fc 436 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
d7d3f3cb 437 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
c23184fc 438 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
d7d3f3cb 439
c23184fc 440 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 441 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
442 immutable transformation instead of
c23184fc 443 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
d7d3f3cb 444
445 + Class::MOP::Immutable
446 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
447 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
c23184fc 448 be coming eventually.
d7d3f3cb 449
c23184fc 450
cdc1ecba 4510.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
a651e249 452 * Class::MOP::Class
d7d3f3cb 453 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
454 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
a651e249 455 global destruction.
d7d3f3cb 456
0870928c 457 * Class::MOP
d7d3f3cb 458 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new

d7d3f3cb 460
0870928c 461 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
d7d3f3cb 462 *** API CHANGE ***
463 - constructor generation is now handled by
0870928c 464 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
d7d3f3cb 465
0870928c 466 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
d7d3f3cb 467 - created this to handle constructor generation
0870928c 468 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
d7d3f3cb 469

528 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
d7d3f3cb 529 the $:version and such just actually goes
530 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
c4260b45 531 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
88dd563c 532 ** API CHANGE **
d7d3f3cb 533 - The &create method now requires that all

9ca19585 578 the primary gateway between the metaclass
579 and the Perl 5 symbol table

621 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 622 This is the first version of Class::MOP
373a16ae 623 to introduce the immutable features which
d7d3f3cb 624 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
373a16ae 625 This support should still be considered
626 experimental, but moving towards stability.
627 ---------------------------------------
d7d3f3cb 628
629 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
630
631 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
632 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
373a16ae 633 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
e0a82090 634
635 * Class::MOP::Class
636 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
d7d3f3cb 637 - several methods moved to ::Module and

2ba153a9 649 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
d7d3f3cb 650 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
651 because they are now more general purpose symbol
652 table manipulation methods.
