1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
3 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
5 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
6 releases. (nothingmuch)
9 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
11 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
12 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
13 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
16 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
19 * Class::MOP::Instance
20 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
22 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
24 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
25 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
26 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
27 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
30 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
31 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
35 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
36 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
37 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
38 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
39 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
42 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
43 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
44 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
47 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
48 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
49 consistency (nothingmuch)
50 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
52 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
53 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
54 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
55 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
58 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
59 * Class::MOP::Immutable
60 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
62 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
64 * Class::MOP::Instance
65 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
66 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
70 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
71 the class is already loaded (sartak)
72 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
73 instead of just 1 (sartak)
76 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
78 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
79 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
80 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
82 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
83 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
84 recognizes it correct this time.
86 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
87 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
90 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
91 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
94 - now stores the instance of the instance
95 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
96 and deletes it when the cache is blown
97 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
98 the options used to make it immutable as well as
99 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
101 * Class::MOP::Package
102 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
103 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
104 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
108 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
110 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
111 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
113 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
114 names now throw a more direct error in
116 - tests for this and other aspects of
122 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
123 Class::MOP::Attribute
124 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
127 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
128 (late night release engineering)--
130 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
131 changes in this release
133 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
134 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
135 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
138 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
139 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
140 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
143 * Class::MOP::Package
144 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
146 - inlining a few calls to &name with
147 direct HASH access key access
148 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
149 a HASH of items based on a type filter
150 similar to list_all_package_symbols
151 - added tests for this
154 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
155 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
156 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
157 - added more descriptive error message to help
158 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
159 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
161 * Class::MOP::Immutable
162 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
164 - added tests for this
166 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
168 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
169 function from MRO::Compat
170 - All XS based functionality now has a
171 Pure Perl alternative
172 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
173 can now be used to force non-XS versions
176 * Class::MOP::Attribute
177 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
178 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
179 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
181 - added tests for this
183 * Class::MOP::Immutable
184 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
185 making the class immutable
188 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
189 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
190 allow for it to work.
191 - added tests for this
193 * Class::MOP::Attribute
195 Class::MOP::Immutable
196 - any time a method meta object is constructed
197 we make sure to pass the correct package and
198 method name information
201 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
202 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
203 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
204 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
205 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
206 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
207 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
208 throw an error if these are not supplied.
209 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
210 and now store the package_name and name attributes
213 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
214 Module::Install support has been removed
216 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
217 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
218 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
219 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
223 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
224 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
226 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
227 when it has no init_arg
228 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
229 to support c3 classes.
231 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
234 - making sure that load_class never gets
235 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
236 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
239 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
241 - improved error handling in ->create method
242 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
243 will be used to populate values
244 - added tests for this
247 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
248 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
254 Class::MOP::Attribute
255 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
256 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
258 * Class::MOP::Instance
259 Class::MOP::Immutable
260 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
263 - fixed the filename length on several
264 test files so we install on VMS better
266 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
267 should be catfile (RT #32385)

270 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
273 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

276 to indicate that no constructor args can
277 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
278 - added tests for this
279 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
282 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
283 feature instead of the silly hack from
284 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
286 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
288 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
291 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
292 - removed assumptions about the existence of
295 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
296 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
297 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
300 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
301 constant so that we can take advantage
302 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
305 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
306 optimize the &linearized_isa method
307 and avoid the hack/check for circular
308 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
309 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
310 - added tests for this
312 * Class::MOP::Immutable
313 - the immutable class now keeps track of

323 transformation arguments are saved
325 - added tests for this
327 * Class::MOP::Immutable
328 - fixed a bug (see above)
330 * Class::MOP::Attribute

334 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
335 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
338 - removed the dependency on B
339 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
340 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
341 the B fiddling we were doing with
342 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
343 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
344 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
345 be used to help manage method caching.
348 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
349 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
350 even more accurate caching information.
351 blblack++ for that stuff :)
354 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
355 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
356 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
357 track of when we need to re-fetch the
359 - Several small improvements to take advantage
360 of the new method map caching features
362 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
363 * Class::MOP::Attribute

369 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
370 * Class::MOP::Attribute
371 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
372 - added more tests for this
374 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
376 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
377 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
378 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
380 * Class::MOP::Attribute
381 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
382 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
383 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
385 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
386 * Class::MOP::Attribute
387 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
389 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

394 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
397 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
398 construct_class_instance (groditi)
399 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
400 call through (groditi)
402 * Class::MOP::Attribute
403 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
404 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
405 it is defined (groditi)

415 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
416 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
417 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
418 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
420 - added tests for this
421 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
422 non-inlined constructors.
423 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
425 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
426 - added this class as an abstract base for the
427 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
428 - added tests for this

440 * Class::MOP::Package
441 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
444 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
446 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
448 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
449 it manually now so that people can use this
450 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
452 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
454 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
455 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
456 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
459 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
460 * Class::MOP::Immutable
461 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
462 - removed unused variable
463 - added create_immutable_transformer
464 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
465 - tests for this (groditi)
468 - Immutability can now be undone,
469 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
470 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
471 for details see comments next to make_immutable
472 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
473 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
474 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
475 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
476 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
477 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
479 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
480 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
482 * Class::MOP::Package
483 - we now deal with stub methods properly
484 - added tests for this
485 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
487 * Class::MOP::Attribute
488 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
489 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
491 - added tests and POD for this
494 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
495 handles undef values correctly.
496 - added tests for this
497 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
498 will not get reaped when instances still
499 exist which need to reference them. This is
500 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
501 obscure enough feature that there are not too
502 many work arounds out in the wild.
503 - added tests for this by groditi
504 - updated docs to explain this
507 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
508 - added tests for this behavior
510 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
511 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
514 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
515 - added tests and docs for these
517 * Class::MOP::Attribute
518 - default now checks the instance with defined to
519 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
523 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
529 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
530 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
531 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
532 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
535 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
537 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
538 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
539 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
542 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
543 immutable transformation instead of
544 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
546 + Class::MOP::Immutable
547 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
548 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
549 be coming eventually.
552 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
554 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
555 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
559 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
562 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
564 - constructor generation is now handled by
565 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
567 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
568 - created this to handle constructor generation
569 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
571 * Class::MOP::Attribute
573 - attributes now delegate to the
574 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
577 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
578 - all accessor generation functions from
579 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
581 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
583 * scripts/class_browser.pl
584 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
585 on this to come. Comments and patches are
589 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
590 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
591 they are aliased from the originals
592 - fixed tests to reflect
593 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
595 - adjusted tests for this
596 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
601 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
602 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
603 - adjusted tests to compensate
604 - adjusted docs for this
607 - changed how methods are dealt with to
608 encapsulate most of the work into the
609 &get_method_map method
610 - made several adjustments for the change
611 in Class::MOP::Method
612 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
613 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
614 old one before installing the new one
615 - added tests for this
616 - adjusted docs for this
618 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
619 - added caching of &get_method_map
620 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
621 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
623 * Class::MOP::Package
624 - added filtering capabilities to
625 &list_all_package_symbols
627 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
629 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
630 the $:version and such just actually goes
631 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
632 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
634 - The &create method now requires that all
635 but the package name now is passed in as
636 named parameters. See docs for more info.
637 - updated docs and tests for this
640 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
644 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
645 which do not store things in the instance
646 - added the %:methods attribute definition to
649 ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
651 0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
653 - moved the metaclass cache out of here
654 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
657 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
658 - fixed all tests for this
660 * Class::MOP::Attribute
661 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
662 are no longer allowed for defaults
663 - added tests for this
665 * Class::MOP::Package
666 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
667 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
668 always reloaded from the symbol table.
670 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
672 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
673 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
674 metamodel is more complete (and closer
675 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
677 * Class::MOP::Package
678 - refactored entire class, this is now
679 the primary gateway between the metaclass
680 and the Perl 5 symbol table
681 - added many tests for this
682 - this class is now a subclass of
684 - added some tests to reflect this
687 - refactored all symbol table access to
688 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
691 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
692 so that Module has a version as an attribute
693 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
694 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
695 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
696 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
697 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
698 - added tests for this
700 * Class::MOP::Instance
701 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots

714 anywhere within the class hierarchy
716 * Class::MOP::Attribute
717 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
718 the value of the attribute for a particular
721 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
722 ---------------------------------------
723 This is the first version of Class::MOP
724 to introduce the immutable features which
725 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
726 This support should still be considered
727 experimental, but moving towards stability.
728 ---------------------------------------
730 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
732 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
733 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
734 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
737 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
738 - several methods moved to ::Module and
739 ::Package and now inherited
740 - added tests for this
742 * Class::MOP::Instance
743 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
744 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
745 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
746 instance creation (of course)
749 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
750 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
751 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
752 because they are now more general purpose symbol
753 table manipulation methods.
755 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
756 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
758 - small change in &create so that it behaves
759 properly when inherited
760 - small fix to &clone_instance
762 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
763 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
764 - This release works in combination with
765 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
766 because it introduces a new instance
767 sub-protocol and has not yet been
771 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
772 - added tests for this
773 - improved method modifier wrapping
775 * Class::MOP::Instance
776 - added new instance protocol
777 - added tests for this
778 - changed all relevant modules and examples
780 - Class::MOP::Attribute
784 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
785 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
787 - updated tests for this
790 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
791 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
793 - added tests for this
794 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
795 new instance protocol
796 - added more tests for this

810 - added tests for this
811 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
812 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
813 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
814 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
815 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
816 delegates appropriately
818 * Class::MOP::Attribute
819 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
820 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
821 called initialize_instance_slot

825 initialize_instance_slot method
827 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

844 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
846 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
847 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
848 - added test case for this
850 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
852 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
853 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
854 available in DESTORY calls
856 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
857 - removed the dependency for Clone since
858 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.

862 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
863 which were formerly private subs in
866 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
867 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
868 before, after and around modifiers
869 - added tests and docs for this feature
872 - improved &get_package_symbol
873 - &version and &superclasses now use it
874 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
876 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
877 - &add_before_method_modifier
878 - &add_after_method_modifier
879 - &add_around_method_modifier
880 - added tests and docs for these

882 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
884 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
885 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
889 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test

891 the test skip if it is not installed
893 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
895 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
898 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
899 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
900 - added docs and tests
902 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
903 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
904 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
905 be considered "ready to use".
907 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
908 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
909 - test coverage is now at 99%
912 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
913 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
914 metaclass pragma instead.
917 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
918 error/edge-case tests
920 * Class::MOP::Attribute
921 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
922 error/edge-case tests
925 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
927 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
929 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
930 metaclass a little more straightforward
933 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
934 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
935 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
936 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
940 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
941 is now more useful for subclasses
942 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
943 hash of attribute meta objects
944 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
945 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
946 since all the same info can be gotten from the
947 attribute meta-object itself
948 - updated docs & tests to reflect
949 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
950 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
951 - added docs & tests for this
952 - added Clone as a dependency
953 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
954 return blessed new or cloned instances
955 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
956 - added docs & tests for this
957 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
958 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
959 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
960 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
961 - added tests and docs for this
964 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
966 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
968 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
970 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
971 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
972 attributes/methods respectively
975 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
978 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
979 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class

985 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
987 * Class::MOP::Attribute
988 - improved error messages

1003 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
1004 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
1005 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
1006 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
