1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
7 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
13 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
14 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
18 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
20 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
21 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
22 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
28 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
29 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
33 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
34 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
35 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
37 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
39 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
41 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
43 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
47 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
49 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
53 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
54 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
56 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
60 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
61 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
63 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
64 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
66 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
68 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
69 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
70 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
72 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
74 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
76 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
77 modules (nothingmuch).
80 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
85 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
86 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
87 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
90 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
91 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
94 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
95 * Class::MOP::Attribute
96 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
97 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
98 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
99 attributes. (nothingmuch)
101 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
103 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
104 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
105 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
106 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
107 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
109 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
110 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
111 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
113 * Class::MOP::Package
114 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
115 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
117 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
118 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
119 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
121 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
122 * Class::MOP::Package
123 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
126 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
129 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
130 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
131 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
134 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
135 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
137 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
139 * Class::MOP::Package
140 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
143 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
144 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
146 * Class::MOP::Attribute
148 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
151 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
152 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
153 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
154 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
157 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
158 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
159 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
160 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
161 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
162 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
166 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
167 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
171 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
172 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
173 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
177 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
178 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
181 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
182 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
183 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
187 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
188 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
189 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
190 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
191 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
194 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
195 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
197 * Class::MOP::Instance
198 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
199 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
201 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
203 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
205 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
208 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
210 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
211 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
214 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
215 changed back in 0.82_01)
216 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
217 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
220 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
221 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
223 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
225 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
226 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
227 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
230 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
231 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
234 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
235 * Class::MOP::Attribute
236 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
238 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
239 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
240 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
243 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
246 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
247 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
248 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
249 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
250 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
253 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
256 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
258 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
262 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
263 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
264 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
265 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
269 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
272 * Class::MOP::Package
273 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
276 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
279 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
281 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
284 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
285 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
286 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
287 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
290 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
291 was removed in 0.82_01.
293 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
294 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
295 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
296 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
297 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
298 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
299 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
300 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
301 for the Moose compatibility handling code
302 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
304 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
306 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
307 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
309 * Class::MOP::Immutable
310 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
311 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
312 provides its own constructor (doy)
314 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
317 * Class::MOP::Instance
318 * Class::MOP::Attribute
319 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
320 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
321 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
322 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
325 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
326 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
328 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
330 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
331 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
333 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
334 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
335 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
336 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
337 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
340 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
341 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
342 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
343 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
344 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
345 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
346 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
348 - Class::MOP::Instance
349 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
353 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
354 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
355 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
357 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
358 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
359 when an object is constructed)
360 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
362 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
363 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
364 when an object is constructed)
365 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
366 - attributes => _attributes
367 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
369 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
371 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
372 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
373 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
376 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
377 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
378 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
381 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
382 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
383 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
384 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
388 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
389 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
390 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
391 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
392 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
393 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
395 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
396 * No changes from 0.78_02.
398 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
400 * Class::MOP::Immutable
401 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
402 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
403 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
404 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
408 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
409 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
412 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
413 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
414 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
416 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
418 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
419 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
422 * Class::MOP::Instance
423 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
424 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
425 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
426 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
428 * Class::MOP::Attribute
429 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
430 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
431 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
433 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
434 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
435 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
439 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
440 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
441 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
442 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
444 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
445 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
446 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
447 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
448 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
449 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
450 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
451 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
452 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
455 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
456 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
459 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
461 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
462 * No changes from 0.77_01
464 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
466 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
467 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
468 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
469 against the pure Perl version of this code.
471 * Class::MOP::Instance
472 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
473 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
476 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
478 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
482 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
483 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
487 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
488 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
490 * Class::MOP::Package
491 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
492 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
495 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
499 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
500 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
501 near future release. You've been warned.
503 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
504 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
505 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
506 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
508 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
509 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
512 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
513 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
516 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
519 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
520 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
522 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
524 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
525 sharing an immutable transformer object
526 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
527 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
529 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
531 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
532 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
533 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
534 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
536 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
537 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
539 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
541 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
542 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
544 * t/082_get_code_info.t
545 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
546 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
547 succeed in that case.
549 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
550 * Class::MOP::Package
551 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
554 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
555 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
557 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
558 * Class::MOP::Immutable
559 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
560 the constructor was inlined.
561 * Class::MOP::Package
562 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
563 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
564 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
566 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
567 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
569 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
571 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
572 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
573 * Class::MOP::Immutable
574 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
575 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
576 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
579 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
580 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
581 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
582 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
583 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
584 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
585 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
586 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
587 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
588 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
590 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
593 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
594 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
597 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
599 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
600 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
602 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
604 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
605 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
606 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
609 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
610 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
611 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
614 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
616 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
617 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
619 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
620 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
621 times in an eval. (t0m)
623 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
625 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
626 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
627 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
628 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
629 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
630 - added test for this
632 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
633 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
634 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
637 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
638 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
642 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
643 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
644 aliased methods and "real" methods.
646 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
647 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
648 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
649 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
652 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
653 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
656 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
657 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
658 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
659 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
660 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
661 for sad systems without a compiler.
664 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
665 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
668 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
669 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
670 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
672 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
674 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
675 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
676 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
677 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
679 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
680 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
681 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
682 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
684 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
686 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
687 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
690 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
691 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
692 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
694 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
696 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
698 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
699 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
700 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
702 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
703 * Class::MOP::Package
704 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
705 releases. (nothingmuch)
708 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
710 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
711 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
712 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
715 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
718 * Class::MOP::Instance
719 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
721 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
723 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
724 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
725 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
726 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
729 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
730 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
734 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
735 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
736 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
737 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
738 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
741 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
742 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
743 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
746 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
747 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
748 consistency (nothingmuch)
749 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
751 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
752 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
753 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
754 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
757 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
758 * Class::MOP::Immutable
759 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
761 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
763 * Class::MOP::Instance
764 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
765 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
767 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
769 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
770 the class is already loaded (sartak)
771 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
772 instead of just 1 (sartak)
775 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
777 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
778 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
779 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
781 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
782 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
783 recognizes it correct this time.
785 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
786 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
789 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
790 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
793 - now stores the instance of the instance
794 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
795 and deletes it when the cache is blown
796 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
797 the options used to make it immutable as well as
798 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
800 * Class::MOP::Package
801 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
802 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
803 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
807 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
809 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
810 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
812 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
813 names now throw a more direct error in
815 - tests for this and other aspects of
821 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
822 Class::MOP::Attribute
823 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
826 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
827 (late night release engineering)--
829 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
830 changes in this release
832 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
833 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
834 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
837 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
838 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
839 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
842 * Class::MOP::Package
843 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
845 - inlining a few calls to &name with
846 direct HASH access key access
847 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
848 a HASH of items based on a type filter
849 similar to list_all_package_symbols
850 - added tests for this
853 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
854 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
855 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
856 - added more descriptive error message to help
857 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
858 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
860 * Class::MOP::Immutable
861 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
863 - added tests for this
865 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
867 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
868 function from MRO::Compat
869 - All XS based functionality now has a
870 Pure Perl alternative
871 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
872 can now be used to force non-XS versions
875 * Class::MOP::Attribute

878 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
880 - added tests for this
882 * Class::MOP::Immutable
883 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
884 making the class immutable

888 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
889 allow for it to work.
890 - added tests for this
892 * Class::MOP::Attribute
894 Class::MOP::Immutable
895 - any time a method meta object is constructed
896 we make sure to pass the correct package and
897 method name information
900 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
901 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
902 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
903 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
904 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
905 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
906 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
907 throw an error if these are not supplied.
908 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
909 and now store the package_name and name attributes
912 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
913 Module::Install support has been removed
915 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
916 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
917 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
918 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
922 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
923 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
925 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
926 when it has no init_arg
927 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
928 to support c3 classes.
930 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
933 - making sure that load_class never gets
934 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
935 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
938 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
940 - improved error handling in ->create method
941 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
942 will be used to populate values
943 - added tests for this
946 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
947 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
953 Class::MOP::Attribute
954 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
955 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
957 * Class::MOP::Instance
958 Class::MOP::Immutable
959 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
962 - fixed the filename length on several
963 test files so we install on VMS better
965 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
966 should be catfile (RT #32385)
968 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
969 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
972 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
973 Class::MOP::Attribute
974 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
975 to indicate that no constructor args can
976 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
977 - added tests for this
978 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
981 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
982 feature instead of the silly hack from
983 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
985 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
987 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
990 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
991 - removed assumptions about the existence of
994 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
995 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
996 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
999 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1000 constant so that we can take advantage
1001 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1004 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1005 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1006 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1007 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1008 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1009 - added tests for this
1011 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1012 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1013 the transformer which immutablized it
1015 * Class::MOP::Instance
1016 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1017 - added tests for this
1019 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1021 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1022 transformation arguments are saved
1024 - added tests for this
1026 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1027 - fixed a bug (see above)
1029 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1032 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1033 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1034 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1037 - removed the dependency on B
1038 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1039 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1040 the B fiddling we were doing with
1041 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1042 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1043 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1044 be used to help manage method caching.
1047 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1048 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1049 even more accurate caching information.
1050 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1053 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1054 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1055 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1056 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1058 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1059 of the new method map caching features
1061 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1062 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1063 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1064 HASH ref case, which makes the
1065 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1066 - added more tests for this
1068 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1069 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1070 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1071 - added more tests for this
1073 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1075 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1076 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1077 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1079 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1080 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1081 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1082 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1084 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1085 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1086 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1088 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1091 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1093 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1096 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1097 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1098 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1099 call through (groditi)
1101 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1102 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1103 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1104 it is defined (groditi)
1106 * Class::MOP::Instance
1107 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1108 it is defined (groditi)
1110 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1111 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1112 - removed the relevant attributes
1114 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1115 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1116 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1117 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1119 - added tests for this
1120 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1121 non-inlined constructors.
1122 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1124 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1125 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1126 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1127 - added tests for this
1130 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1131 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1134 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1136 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1137 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1139 * Class::MOP::Package
1140 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1143 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1145 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1147 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1148 it manually now so that people can use this
1149 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1151 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1153 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1154 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1155 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1158 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1159 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1160 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1161 - removed unused variable
1162 - added create_immutable_transformer
1163 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1164 - tests for this (groditi)
1167 - Immutability can now be undone,
1168 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1169 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1170 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1171 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1172 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1173 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1174 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1175 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1176 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1178 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1179 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1181 * Class::MOP::Package
1182 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1187 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1188 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1190 - added tests and POD for this
1193 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1194 handles undef values correctly.
1195 - added tests for this
1196 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1197 will not get reaped when instances still
1198 exist which need to reference them. This is
1199 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1200 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1201 many work arounds out in the wild.
1202 - added tests for this by groditi
1203 - updated docs to explain this
1206 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1207 - added tests for this behavior
1209 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1210 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1213 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1214 - added tests and docs for these
1216 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1217 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1218 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1222 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1227 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1228 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1229 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1230 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1231 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1234 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1236 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1237 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1238 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1241 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1242 immutable transformation instead of
1243 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1245 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1246 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1247 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1248 be coming eventually.
1251 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1253 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1254 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1258 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1261 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1263 - constructor generation is now handled by
1264 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1266 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1267 - created this to handle constructor generation
1268 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1270 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1272 - attributes now delegate to the
1273 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1276 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1277 - all accessor generation functions from
1278 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1280 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1283 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1284 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1288 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1289 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1290 they are aliased from the originals
1291 - fixed tests to reflect
1292 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1294 - adjusted tests for this
1295 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1298 * Class::MOP::Method
1300 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1301 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1302 - adjusted tests to compensate
1303 - adjusted docs for this
1306 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1307 encapsulate most of the work into the
1308 &get_method_map method
1309 - made several adjustments for the change
1310 in Class::MOP::Method
1311 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1312 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1313 old one before installing the new one
1314 - added tests for this
1315 - adjusted docs for this
1317 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1318 - added caching of &get_method_map
1319 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1320 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1323 - added filtering capabilities to
1324 &list_all_package_symbols
1326 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1328 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1329 the $:version and such just actually goes
1330 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1331 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1333 - The &create method now requires that all
1334 but the package name now is passed in as
1335 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1336 - updated docs and tests for this
1338 * Class::MOP::Object
1339 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1361 are no longer allowed for defaults
1362 - added tests for this
1364 * Class::MOP::Package
1365 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1366 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1367 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1369 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1371 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1372 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1373 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1374 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1376 * Class::MOP::Package
1377 - refactored entire class, this is now
1378 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1379 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1380 - added many tests for this
1381 - this class is now a subclass of
1383 - added some tests to reflect this

1387 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1389 * Class::MOP::Module
1390 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1391 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1392 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1393 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1394 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1395 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness

1416 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1417 the value of the attribute for a particular
1420 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1421 ---------------------------------------
1422 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1423 to introduce the immutable features which
1424 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1425 This support should still be considered
1426 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1427 ---------------------------------------
1429 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1431 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1432 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1433 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1436 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1437 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1438 ::Package and now inherited
1439 - added tests for this
1441 * Class::MOP::Instance
1442 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1443 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1444 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1445 instance creation (of course)
1448 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1449 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1450 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1451 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1452 table manipulation methods.
1454 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1455 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1457 - small change in &create so that it behaves
1458 properly when inherited
1459 - small fix to &clone_instance
1461 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1462 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1463 - This release works in combination with
1464 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1465 because it introduces a new instance
1466 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1470 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1471 - added tests for this
1472 - improved method modifier wrapping
1474 * Class::MOP::Instance
1475 - added new instance protocol
1476 - added tests for this
1477 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1479 - Class::MOP::Attribute
1483 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
1484 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1486 - updated tests for this
1489 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1490 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
1492 - added tests for this

1509 - added tests for this
1510 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1511 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1512 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1513 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1514 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1515 delegates appropriately
1517 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1518 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1519 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1520 called initialize_instance_slot
1523 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
1524 initialize_instance_slot method
1526 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1533 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
1534 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)

1543 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
1545 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions

1547 - added test case for this
1549 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1551 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1552 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1553 available in DESTORY calls
1555 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1556 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1557 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1559 * Class::MOP::Method
1560 - added &package_name, &name and
1561 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1562 which were formerly private subs in
1565 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1566 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1567 before, after and around modifiers
1568 - added tests and docs for this feature
1571 - improved &get_package_symbol
1572 - &version and &superclasses now use it
1573 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method

1577 - &add_after_method_modifier
1578 - &add_around_method_modifier
1579 - added tests and docs for these
1580 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
1581 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
1583 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1584 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1588 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
1589 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
1590 the test skip if it is not installed
1592 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
1594 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1597 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1598 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1599 - added docs and tests
1601 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1602 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1603 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1604 be considered "ready to use".
1606 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1607 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1608 - test coverage is now at 99%
1611 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1612 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1613 metaclass pragma instead.
1616 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1617 error/edge-case tests
1619 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1620 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the

1626 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1628 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1629 metaclass a little more straightforward
1632 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1633 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1634 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1635 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1639 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1640 is now more useful for subclasses
1641 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1642 hash of attribute meta objects
1643 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1644 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1645 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1646 attribute meta-object itself
1647 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1648 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1649 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1650 - added docs & tests for this
1651 - added Clone as a dependency

1653 return blessed new or cloned instances
1654 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1655 - added docs & tests for this
1656 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1657 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1658 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1659 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1660 - added tests and docs for this
1663 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1665 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1667 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
1669 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
1670 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1671 attributes/methods respectively
1674 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1677 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1678 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1679 - added new example:
1682 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1684 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6

1706 namespaces really, they are just examples)
1708 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
1709 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1710 - adding POD documentation to the examples
