1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * Replace use of Test::Exception with Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge and Dave
10 * Lots of fixes for edge cases with anon classes. (doy)
16 * It's now possible to tell Class::MOP::Class->create and the metaclass
17 pragma to not install a 'meta' method into classes they manipulate,
18 or to install one under a different name. (doy)
20 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
21 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
22 reinitialized metaclass). (doy)
24 * All 'meta' methods created by Class::MOP are now of the class
25 Class::MOP::Method::Meta. This is overridable at the metaclass layer. (doy)
29 * Use get_or_add_package_symbol when we intend for it to autovivify, in
30 preparation for changes in Package::Stash. (doy)
32 * We now use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to force authors to run all
33 tests, just like we do for Moose. (sartak)
35 1.08 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
39 * The get_method_list and _get_local_methods methods blew up in the face
40 of subroutine stubs. (Goro Fuji)
42 1.07 Tue, Aug 25, 2010
46 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
47 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
48 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
51 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
55 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
56 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
57 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
60 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
64 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
65 for inlined code (doy).
67 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
69 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
73 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
74 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
75 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
76 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
77 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
84 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
86 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
90 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
91 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
95 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
97 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
98 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
99 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
101 1.01 Thu, May 6, 2010
105 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
106 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
110 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
111 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
112 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
114 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
116 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
118 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
120 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
124 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
126 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
130 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
131 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
133 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
137 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
138 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
140 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
141 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
143 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
145 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
146 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
147 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
149 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
151 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
153 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
154 modules (nothingmuch).
156 * Class::MOP::Package
157 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
161 * Class::MOP::Package
162 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
163 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
164 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
167 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
168 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
171 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
172 * Class::MOP::Attribute
173 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
174 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
175 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
176 attributes. (nothingmuch)
178 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
180 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
181 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
182 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
183 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
184 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
186 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
187 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
188 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
190 * Class::MOP::Package
191 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
192 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
194 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
195 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
196 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
198 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
199 * Class::MOP::Package
200 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
203 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
206 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
207 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
208 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
211 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
212 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
214 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
216 * Class::MOP::Package
217 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
220 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
221 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
223 * Class::MOP::Attribute
225 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
228 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
229 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
230 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
231 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
234 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
235 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
236 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
237 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
238 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
239 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
243 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
244 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
248 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
249 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
250 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
254 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
255 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
258 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
259 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
260 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
264 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
265 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
266 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
267 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
268 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
271 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
272 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
274 * Class::MOP::Instance
275 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
276 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
278 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
280 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
282 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
285 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
287 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
288 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
291 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
292 changed back in 0.82_01)
293 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
294 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
297 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
298 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
300 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
302 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
303 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
304 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
307 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
308 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
311 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
312 * Class::MOP::Attribute
313 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
315 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
316 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
317 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
320 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
323 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
324 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
325 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
326 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
327 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
330 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
333 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
335 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
339 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
340 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
341 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
342 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
346 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
349 * Class::MOP::Package
350 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
353 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
356 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
358 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
361 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
362 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
363 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
364 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
367 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
368 was removed in 0.82_01.
370 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
371 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
372 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
373 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
374 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
375 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
376 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
377 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
378 for the Moose compatibility handling code
379 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
381 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
383 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
384 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
386 * Class::MOP::Immutable
387 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
388 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
389 provides its own constructor (doy)
391 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
394 * Class::MOP::Instance
395 * Class::MOP::Attribute
396 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
397 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
398 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
399 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
402 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
403 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
405 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
407 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
408 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
410 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
411 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
412 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
413 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
414 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
417 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
418 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
419 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
420 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
421 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
422 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
423 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
425 - Class::MOP::Instance
426 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
430 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
431 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
432 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
434 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
435 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
436 when an object is constructed)
437 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
439 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
440 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
441 when an object is constructed)
442 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
443 - attributes => _attributes
444 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
446 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
448 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
449 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
450 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
453 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
454 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
455 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
458 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
459 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
460 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
461 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
465 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
466 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
467 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
468 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
469 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
470 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
472 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
473 * No changes from 0.78_02.
475 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
477 * Class::MOP::Immutable
478 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
479 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
480 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
481 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
485 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
486 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
489 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
490 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
491 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
493 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
495 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
496 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
499 * Class::MOP::Instance
500 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
501 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
502 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
503 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
505 * Class::MOP::Attribute
506 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
507 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
508 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
510 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
511 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
512 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
516 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
517 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
518 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
519 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
521 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
522 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
523 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
524 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
525 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
526 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
527 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
528 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
529 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
532 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
533 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
536 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
538 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
539 * No changes from 0.77_01
541 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
543 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
544 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
545 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
546 against the pure Perl version of this code.
548 * Class::MOP::Instance
549 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
550 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
553 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
555 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
559 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
560 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
564 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
565 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
567 * Class::MOP::Package
568 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
569 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
572 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
576 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
577 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
578 near future release. You've been warned.
580 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
581 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
582 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
583 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
585 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
586 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
589 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
590 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
593 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
596 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
597 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
599 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
601 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
602 sharing an immutable transformer object
603 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
604 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
606 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
608 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
609 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
610 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
611 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
613 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
614 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
616 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
618 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
619 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
621 * t/082_get_code_info.t
622 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
623 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
624 succeed in that case.
626 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
627 * Class::MOP::Package
628 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
631 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
632 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
634 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
635 * Class::MOP::Immutable
636 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
637 the constructor was inlined.
638 * Class::MOP::Package
639 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
640 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
641 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
643 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
644 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
646 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
648 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
649 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
650 * Class::MOP::Immutable
651 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
652 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
653 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
656 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
657 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
658 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
659 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
660 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
661 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
662 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
663 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
664 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
665 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
667 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
670 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
671 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
674 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
676 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
677 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
679 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
681 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
682 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
683 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
686 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
687 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
688 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
691 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
693 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
694 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
696 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
697 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
698 times in an eval. (t0m)
700 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
702 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
703 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
704 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
705 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
706 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
707 - added test for this
709 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
710 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
711 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
714 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
715 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
719 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
720 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
721 aliased methods and "real" methods.
723 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
724 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
725 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
726 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
729 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
730 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
733 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
734 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
735 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
736 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
737 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
738 for sad systems without a compiler.
741 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
742 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
745 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
746 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
747 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
749 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
751 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
752 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
753 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
754 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
756 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
757 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
758 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
759 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
761 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
763 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
764 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
767 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
768 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
769 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
771 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
773 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
775 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
776 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
777 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
779 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
780 * Class::MOP::Package
781 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
782 releases. (nothingmuch)
785 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
787 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
788 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
789 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
792 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
795 * Class::MOP::Instance
796 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
798 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
800 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
801 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
802 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
803 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
806 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
807 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
811 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
812 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
813 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
814 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
815 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
818 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
819 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
820 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
823 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
824 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
825 consistency (nothingmuch)
826 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
828 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
829 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
830 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
831 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
834 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
835 * Class::MOP::Immutable
836 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
838 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
840 * Class::MOP::Instance
841 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
842 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
844 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
846 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
847 the class is already loaded (sartak)
848 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
849 instead of just 1 (sartak)
852 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
854 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
855 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
856 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
858 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
859 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
860 recognizes it correct this time.
862 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
863 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
866 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
867 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
870 - now stores the instance of the instance
871 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
872 and deletes it when the cache is blown
873 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
874 the options used to make it immutable as well as
875 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
877 * Class::MOP::Package
878 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
879 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
880 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
884 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
886 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
887 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
889 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
890 names now throw a more direct error in
892 - tests for this and other aspects of
898 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
899 Class::MOP::Attribute
900 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
903 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
904 (late night release engineering)--
906 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
907 changes in this release
909 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
910 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
911 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
914 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
915 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
916 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
919 * Class::MOP::Package
920 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
922 - inlining a few calls to &name with
923 direct HASH access key access
924 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
925 a HASH of items based on a type filter
926 similar to list_all_package_symbols
927 - added tests for this
930 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
931 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
932 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
933 - added more descriptive error message to help
934 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
935 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
937 * Class::MOP::Immutable
938 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
940 - added tests for this
942 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
944 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
945 function from MRO::Compat
946 - All XS based functionality now has a
947 Pure Perl alternative
948 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
949 can now be used to force non-XS versions
952 * Class::MOP::Attribute

955 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
957 - added tests for this
959 * Class::MOP::Immutable
960 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
961 making the class immutable
964 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
965 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
966 allow for it to work.
967 - added tests for this
969 * Class::MOP::Attribute
971 Class::MOP::Immutable
972 - any time a method meta object is constructed
973 we make sure to pass the correct package and
974 method name information
977 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
978 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
979 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
980 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
981 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
982 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
983 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
984 throw an error if these are not supplied.
985 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
986 and now store the package_name and name attributes
989 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
990 Module::Install support has been removed
992 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
993 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
994 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
995 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
999 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
1000 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
1002 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
1003 when it has no init_arg
1004 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
1005 to support c3 classes.
1007 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
1010 - making sure that load_class never gets
1011 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
1012 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
1015 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
1016 (cause Sartak asked)
1017 - improved error handling in ->create method
1018 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
1019 will be used to populate values
1020 - added tests for this
1022 * Class::MOP::Object
1023 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
1024 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
1030 Class::MOP::Attribute
1031 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
1032 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1034 * Class::MOP::Instance
1035 Class::MOP::Immutable
1036 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1039 - fixed the filename length on several
1040 test files so we install on VMS better
1042 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1043 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1045 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1046 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1049 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1050 Class::MOP::Attribute
1051 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1052 to indicate that no constructor args can
1053 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1054 - added tests for this
1055 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1058 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1059 feature instead of the silly hack from
1060 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1062 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1064 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1067 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1068 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1071 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1072 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1073 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1076 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1077 constant so that we can take advantage
1078 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1081 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1082 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1083 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1084 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1085 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1086 - added tests for this
1088 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1089 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1090 the transformer which immutablized it
1092 * Class::MOP::Instance
1093 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1094 - added tests for this
1096 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1098 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1099 transformation arguments are saved
1101 - added tests for this
1103 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1104 - fixed a bug (see above)
1106 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1109 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1110 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1111 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1114 - removed the dependency on B
1115 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1116 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1117 the B fiddling we were doing with
1118 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1119 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1120 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1121 be used to help manage method caching.
1124 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1125 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1126 even more accurate caching information.
1127 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1130 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1131 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1132 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1133 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1135 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1136 of the new method map caching features
1138 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1139 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1140 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1141 HASH ref case, which makes the
1142 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1143 - added more tests for this
1145 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1146 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1147 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1148 - added more tests for this
1150 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1152 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1153 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1154 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1156 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1157 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1158 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1159 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1161 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1162 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1163 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1165 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1170 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1173 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1174 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1175 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1176 call through (groditi)
1178 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1179 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1180 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1181 it is defined (groditi)
1183 * Class::MOP::Instance
1184 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1185 it is defined (groditi)
1187 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1188 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1189 - removed the relevant attributes
1191 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1192 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1193 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1194 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1196 - added tests for this
1197 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1198 non-inlined constructors.
1199 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1201 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1202 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1203 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1204 - added tests for this
1207 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1208 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1211 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1213 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1214 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1216 * Class::MOP::Package
1217 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1220 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1222 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1224 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1225 it manually now so that people can use this
1226 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1228 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1230 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1231 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1232 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1235 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1236 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1237 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1238 - removed unused variable
1239 - added create_immutable_transformer
1240 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1241 - tests for this (groditi)
1244 - Immutability can now be undone,
1245 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1246 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1247 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1248 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1249 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1250 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1251 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1252 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1253 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1255 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1256 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1258 * Class::MOP::Package
1259 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1261 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1263 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1264 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1265 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1267 - added tests and POD for this
1270 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1271 handles undef values correctly.
1272 - added tests for this
1273 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1274 will not get reaped when instances still
1275 exist which need to reference them. This is
1276 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1277 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1278 many work arounds out in the wild.
1279 - added tests for this by groditi
1280 - updated docs to explain this
1283 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1284 - added tests for this behavior
1286 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007

1290 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1291 - added tests and docs for these
1293 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1294 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1295 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1299 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1304 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1305 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1306 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1307 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1308 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1311 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1313 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1314 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1315 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1318 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1319 immutable transformation instead of
1320 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1322 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1323 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1324 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1325 be coming eventually.
1328 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1330 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1331 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1335 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1338 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1340 - constructor generation is now handled by
1341 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1343 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1344 - created this to handle constructor generation
1345 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1347 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1349 - attributes now delegate to the
1350 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1353 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1354 - all accessor generation functions from
1355 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1357 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1359 * scripts/class_browser.pl
1360 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1361 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1365 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1366 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1367 they are aliased from the originals
1368 - fixed tests to reflect
1369 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1371 - adjusted tests for this
1372 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1375 * Class::MOP::Method
1377 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1378 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1379 - adjusted tests to compensate
1380 - adjusted docs for this
1383 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1384 encapsulate most of the work into the
1385 &get_method_map method
1386 - made several adjustments for the change
1387 in Class::MOP::Method
1388 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1389 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1390 old one before installing the new one
1391 - added tests for this
1392 - adjusted docs for this
1394 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1395 - added caching of &get_method_map
1396 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1397 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1400 - added filtering capabilities to
1401 &list_all_package_symbols
1403 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1405 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1406 the $:version and such just actually goes
1407 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1408 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1410 - The &create method now requires that all
1411 but the package name now is passed in as
1412 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1413 - updated docs and tests for this
1415 * Class::MOP::Object
1416 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1420 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes

1438 are no longer allowed for defaults
1439 - added tests for this
1441 * Class::MOP::Package
1442 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1443 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1444 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1446 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1448 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1449 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1450 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1451 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1453 * Class::MOP::Package
1454 - refactored entire class, this is now
1455 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1456 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1457 - added many tests for this
1458 - this class is now a subclass of
1460 - added some tests to reflect this
1463 - refactored all symbol table access to
1464 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1466 * Class::MOP::Module
1467 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1468 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1469 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1470 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1471 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1472 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1473 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1474 - added tests for this
1476 * Class::MOP::Instance
1477 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
1479 - added tests for this
1481 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1482 - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
1483 slots from an instance
1484 - added tests for this
1486 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
1489 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1490 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1492 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1493 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1494 the value of the attribute for a particular
1497 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1498 ---------------------------------------
1499 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1500 to introduce the immutable features which
1501 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1502 This support should still be considered
1503 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1504 ---------------------------------------
1506 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1508 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1509 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1510 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1513 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1514 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1515 ::Package and now inherited
1516 - added tests for this
1518 * Class::MOP::Instance
1519 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1520 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1521 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1522 instance creation (of course)
1525 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1526 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1527 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1528 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1529 table manipulation methods.
1531 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1532 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1534 - small change in &create so that it behaves

1538 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1539 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1540 - This release works in combination with
1541 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1542 because it introduces a new instance
1543 sub-protocol and has not yet been

1590 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1591 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1592 delegates appropriately
1594 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1595 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1596 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1597 called initialize_instance_slot

1601 initialize_instance_slot method
1603 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1624 - added test case for this
1626 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1628 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1629 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1630 available in DESTORY calls
1632 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1633 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1634 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.

1643 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1644 before, after and around modifiers
1645 - added tests and docs for this feature

1674 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1675 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1676 - added docs and tests
1678 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1679 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1680 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1681 be considered "ready to use".
1683 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1684 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1685 - test coverage is now at 99%
1688 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1689 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the

1703 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1705 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1706 metaclass a little more straightforward
1709 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1710 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1711 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1712 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1716 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1717 is now more useful for subclasses
1718 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1719 hash of attribute meta objects
1720 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1721 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1722 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1723 attribute meta-object itself
1724 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1725 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1726 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1736 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1737 - added tests and docs for this

1747 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1748 attributes/methods respectively
1751 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1754 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1755 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class

1786 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1787 - adding POD documentation to the examples
