1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
7 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
8 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
9 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
12 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
16 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
17 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
18 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and this is tested for
19 explicit. (Dave Rolsky)
22 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
26 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
27 for inlined code (doy).
29 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
31 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
35 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
36 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
37 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
38 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
39 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
46 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
48 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
52 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
53 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
57 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
59 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
60 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
61 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
67 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
68 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
72 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
73 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
74 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
76 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
78 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
80 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
82 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
86 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
88 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
92 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
93 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
95 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
99 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
100 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
102 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
103 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
105 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
107 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
108 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
109 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
111 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
113 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
115 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
116 modules (nothingmuch).
118 * Class::MOP::Package
119 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
123 * Class::MOP::Package
124 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
125 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
126 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
129 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
130 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
133 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
134 * Class::MOP::Attribute
135 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
136 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
137 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
138 attributes. (nothingmuch)
140 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
142 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
143 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
144 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
145 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
146 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
149 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
150 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
152 * Class::MOP::Package
153 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
154 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
156 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
157 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
158 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
160 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
161 * Class::MOP::Package
162 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
165 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
168 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
169 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
170 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
173 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
174 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
176 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
178 * Class::MOP::Package
179 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
182 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
183 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
185 * Class::MOP::Attribute
187 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
190 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
191 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
192 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
193 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
196 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
197 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
198 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
199 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
200 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
201 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
205 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
206 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
210 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
211 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
212 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
216 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
217 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
220 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
221 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
222 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
226 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
227 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
228 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
229 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
230 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
233 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
234 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
236 * Class::MOP::Instance
237 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
238 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
240 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
242 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
244 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
247 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
249 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
250 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
253 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
254 changed back in 0.82_01)
255 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
256 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
259 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
260 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
262 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
264 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
265 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
266 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
269 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
270 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
273 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
274 * Class::MOP::Attribute
275 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
277 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
278 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
279 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
282 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
285 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
286 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
287 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
288 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
289 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
292 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
295 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
297 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
301 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
302 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
303 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
304 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
308 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
311 * Class::MOP::Package
312 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
315 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
318 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
320 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
323 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
324 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
325 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
326 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
329 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
330 was removed in 0.82_01.
332 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
333 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
334 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
335 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
336 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
337 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
338 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
339 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
340 for the Moose compatibility handling code
341 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
343 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
345 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
346 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
348 * Class::MOP::Immutable
349 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
350 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
351 provides its own constructor (doy)
353 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
356 * Class::MOP::Instance
357 * Class::MOP::Attribute
358 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
359 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
360 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
361 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
364 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
365 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
367 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
369 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
370 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
372 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
373 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
374 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
375 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
376 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
379 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
380 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
381 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
382 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
383 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
384 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
385 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
387 - Class::MOP::Instance
388 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
392 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
393 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
394 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
396 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
397 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
398 when an object is constructed)
399 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
401 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
402 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
403 when an object is constructed)
404 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
405 - attributes => _attributes
406 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
408 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
410 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
411 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
412 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
415 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
416 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
417 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
420 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
421 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
422 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
423 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
427 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
428 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
429 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
430 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
431 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
432 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
434 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
435 * No changes from 0.78_02.
437 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
439 * Class::MOP::Immutable
440 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
441 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
442 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
443 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
447 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
448 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
451 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
452 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
453 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
455 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
457 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
458 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
461 * Class::MOP::Instance
462 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
463 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
464 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
465 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
467 * Class::MOP::Attribute
468 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
469 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
470 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
472 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
473 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
474 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
478 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
479 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
480 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
481 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
483 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
484 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
485 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
486 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
487 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
488 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
489 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
490 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
491 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
494 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
495 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
498 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
500 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
501 * No changes from 0.77_01
503 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
505 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
506 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
507 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
508 against the pure Perl version of this code.
510 * Class::MOP::Instance
511 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
512 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
515 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
517 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
521 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
522 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
526 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
527 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
529 * Class::MOP::Package
530 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
531 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
534 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
538 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
539 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
540 near future release. You've been warned.
542 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
543 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
544 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
545 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
547 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
548 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
551 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
552 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
555 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
558 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
559 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
561 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
563 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
564 sharing an immutable transformer object
565 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
566 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
568 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
570 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
571 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
572 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
573 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
575 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
576 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
578 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
580 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
581 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
583 * t/082_get_code_info.t
584 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
585 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
586 succeed in that case.
588 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
589 * Class::MOP::Package
590 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
593 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
594 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
596 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
597 * Class::MOP::Immutable
598 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
599 the constructor was inlined.
600 * Class::MOP::Package
601 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
602 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
603 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
605 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
606 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
608 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
610 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
611 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
612 * Class::MOP::Immutable
613 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
614 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
615 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
618 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
619 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
620 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
621 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
622 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
623 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
624 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
625 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
626 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
627 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
629 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
632 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
633 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
636 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
638 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
639 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
641 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
643 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
644 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
645 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
648 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
649 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
650 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
653 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
655 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
656 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
658 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
659 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
660 times in an eval. (t0m)
662 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
664 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
665 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
666 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
667 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
668 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
669 - added test for this
671 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
672 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
673 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
676 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
677 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
681 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
682 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
683 aliased methods and "real" methods.
685 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
686 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
687 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
688 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
691 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
692 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
695 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
696 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
697 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
698 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
699 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
700 for sad systems without a compiler.
703 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
704 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
707 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
708 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
709 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
711 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
713 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
714 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
715 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
716 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
718 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
719 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
720 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
721 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
723 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
725 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
726 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
729 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
730 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
731 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
733 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
735 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
737 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
738 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
739 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
741 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
742 * Class::MOP::Package
743 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
744 releases. (nothingmuch)
747 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
749 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
750 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
751 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
754 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
757 * Class::MOP::Instance
758 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
760 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
762 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
763 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
764 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
765 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
768 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
769 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
773 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
774 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
775 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
776 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
777 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
780 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
781 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
782 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
785 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
786 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
787 consistency (nothingmuch)
788 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
790 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
791 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
792 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
793 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
796 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
797 * Class::MOP::Immutable
798 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
800 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
802 * Class::MOP::Instance
803 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
804 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
806 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
808 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
809 the class is already loaded (sartak)
810 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
811 instead of just 1 (sartak)
814 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
816 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
817 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
818 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
820 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
821 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
822 recognizes it correct this time.
824 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
825 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
828 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
829 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
832 - now stores the instance of the instance
833 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
834 and deletes it when the cache is blown
835 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
836 the options used to make it immutable as well as
837 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
839 * Class::MOP::Package
840 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
841 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
842 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
846 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
848 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
849 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
851 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
852 names now throw a more direct error in
854 - tests for this and other aspects of
860 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
861 Class::MOP::Attribute
862 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
865 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
866 (late night release engineering)--
868 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
869 changes in this release
871 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
872 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
873 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
876 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
877 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
878 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
881 * Class::MOP::Package
882 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
884 - inlining a few calls to &name with
885 direct HASH access key access
886 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
887 a HASH of items based on a type filter
888 similar to list_all_package_symbols
889 - added tests for this
892 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
893 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
894 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
895 - added more descriptive error message to help
896 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
897 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
899 * Class::MOP::Immutable
900 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
902 - added tests for this
904 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
906 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
907 function from MRO::Compat
908 - All XS based functionality now has a
909 Pure Perl alternative
910 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
911 can now be used to force non-XS versions

921 * Class::MOP::Immutable
922 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
923 making the class immutable
926 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
927 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
928 allow for it to work.
929 - added tests for this
931 * Class::MOP::Attribute
933 Class::MOP::Immutable
934 - any time a method meta object is constructed
935 we make sure to pass the correct package and
936 method name information
939 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
940 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
941 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
942 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
943 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
944 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
945 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
946 throw an error if these are not supplied.
947 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
948 and now store the package_name and name attributes
951 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
952 Module::Install support has been removed
954 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
955 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
956 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
957 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
961 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
962 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
964 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
965 when it has no init_arg
966 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
967 to support c3 classes.
969 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
972 - making sure that load_class never gets
973 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
974 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
977 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
979 - improved error handling in ->create method
980 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
981 will be used to populate values
982 - added tests for this
985 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
986 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
992 Class::MOP::Attribute
993 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
994 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
996 * Class::MOP::Instance
997 Class::MOP::Immutable
998 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1001 - fixed the filename length on several
1002 test files so we install on VMS better
1004 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1005 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1007 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1008 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1011 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1012 Class::MOP::Attribute
1013 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1014 to indicate that no constructor args can
1015 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1016 - added tests for this
1017 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1020 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1021 feature instead of the silly hack from
1022 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1024 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1026 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1029 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1030 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1033 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1034 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1035 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1038 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1039 constant so that we can take advantage
1040 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1043 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1044 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1045 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1046 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1047 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1048 - added tests for this
1050 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1051 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1052 the transformer which immutablized it
1054 * Class::MOP::Instance
1055 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1056 - added tests for this
1058 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1060 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1061 transformation arguments are saved
1063 - added tests for this
1065 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1066 - fixed a bug (see above)
1068 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1071 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1072 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1073 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1076 - removed the dependency on B
1077 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1078 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1079 the B fiddling we were doing with
1080 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1081 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1082 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1083 be used to help manage method caching.
1086 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1087 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1088 even more accurate caching information.
1089 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1092 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1093 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1094 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1095 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1097 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1098 of the new method map caching features
1100 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1101 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1102 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1103 HASH ref case, which makes the
1104 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1105 - added more tests for this
1107 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1108 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1109 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1110 - added more tests for this
1112 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1114 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1115 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1116 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1118 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1119 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1120 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1121 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1123 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1124 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1125 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1127 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1130 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1132 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1135 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1136 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1137 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1138 call through (groditi)
1140 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1141 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1142 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1143 it is defined (groditi)
1145 * Class::MOP::Instance
1146 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1147 it is defined (groditi)
1149 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1150 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1151 - removed the relevant attributes
1153 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1154 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1155 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1156 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1158 - added tests for this
1159 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1160 non-inlined constructors.
1161 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1163 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1164 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1165 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1166 - added tests for this
1169 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1170 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1173 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1175 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1176 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1178 * Class::MOP::Package
1179 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1182 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1184 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1186 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1187 it manually now so that people can use this
1188 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1190 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1192 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1193 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1194 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1197 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1198 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1199 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1200 - removed unused variable
1201 - added create_immutable_transformer
1202 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1203 - tests for this (groditi)
1206 - Immutability can now be undone,
1207 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1208 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1209 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1210 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1211 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1212 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1213 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1214 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1215 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1217 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1218 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1220 * Class::MOP::Package
1221 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1225 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1226 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1227 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1229 - added tests and POD for this
1232 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1233 handles undef values correctly.
1234 - added tests for this
1235 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1236 will not get reaped when instances still
1237 exist which need to reference them. This is
1238 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1239 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1240 many work arounds out in the wild.
1241 - added tests for this by groditi
1242 - updated docs to explain this
1245 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1246 - added tests for this behavior
1248 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1249 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1252 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1253 - added tests and docs for these
1255 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1256 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1257 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1261 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1266 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1267 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1268 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1269 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1270 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1273 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1275 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1276 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1277 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1280 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1281 immutable transformation instead of
1282 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1284 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1285 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1286 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1287 be coming eventually.
1290 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1292 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1293 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1297 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1300 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1302 - constructor generation is now handled by
1303 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1305 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1306 - created this to handle constructor generation
1307 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1309 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1311 - attributes now delegate to the
1312 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1315 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1316 - all accessor generation functions from
1317 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1319 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1322 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1323 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1327 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1328 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1329 they are aliased from the originals
1330 - fixed tests to reflect
1331 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1333 - adjusted tests for this
1334 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1337 * Class::MOP::Method
1339 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1340 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1341 - adjusted tests to compensate
1342 - adjusted docs for this
1345 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1346 encapsulate most of the work into the
1347 &get_method_map method
1348 - made several adjustments for the change
1349 in Class::MOP::Method
1350 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1351 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1352 old one before installing the new one
1353 - added tests for this
1354 - adjusted docs for this
1356 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1357 - added caching of &get_method_map
1358 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1359 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
1361 * Class::MOP::Package
1362 - added filtering capabilities to
1363 &list_all_package_symbols
1365 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1367 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1368 the $:version and such just actually goes
1369 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1370 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1372 - The &create method now requires that all
1373 but the package name now is passed in as
1374 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1375 - updated docs and tests for this
1377 * Class::MOP::Object
1378 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1392 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
1395 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
1396 - fixed all tests for this
1398 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1399 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1400 are no longer allowed for defaults
1401 - added tests for this
1403 * Class::MOP::Package
1404 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1405 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1406 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1408 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1410 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1411 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1412 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1413 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1415 * Class::MOP::Package
1416 - refactored entire class, this is now
1417 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1418 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1419 - added many tests for this
1420 - this class is now a subclass of
1422 - added some tests to reflect this
1425 - refactored all symbol table access to
1426 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1428 * Class::MOP::Module
1429 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1430 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1431 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1432 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1433 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1434 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1435 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1436 - added tests for this
1438 * Class::MOP::Instance

1441 - added tests for this
1443 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1444 - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
1445 slots from an instance
1446 - added tests for this
1448 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006

1452 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1454 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1455 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1456 the value of the attribute for a particular
1459 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1460 ---------------------------------------
1461 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1462 to introduce the immutable features which
1463 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1464 This support should still be considered
1465 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1466 ---------------------------------------
1468 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1470 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1471 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1472 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1475 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1476 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1477 ::Package and now inherited
1478 - added tests for this
1480 * Class::MOP::Instance
1481 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1482 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1483 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1484 instance creation (of course)
1487 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1488 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1489 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1490 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1491 table manipulation methods.
1493 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1494 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1496 - small change in &create so that it behaves
1497 properly when inherited
1498 - small fix to &clone_instance
1500 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1501 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1502 - This release works in combination with
1503 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1504 because it introduces a new instance
1505 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1509 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1510 - added tests for this
1511 - improved method modifier wrapping
1513 * Class::MOP::Instance
1514 - added new instance protocol
1515 - added tests for this
1516 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1518 - Class::MOP::Attribute

1550 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1551 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1552 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1553 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1554 delegates appropriately
1556 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1557 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1558 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1559 called initialize_instance_slot

1563 initialize_instance_slot method
1565 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1586 - added test case for this
1588 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1590 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1591 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1592 available in DESTORY calls
1594 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1595 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1596 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1598 * Class::MOP::Method
1599 - added &package_name, &name and
1600 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1601 which were formerly private subs in
1604 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1605 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1606 before, after and around modifiers
1607 - added tests and docs for this feature

1617 - &add_around_method_modifier
1618 - added tests and docs for these

1633 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1636 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1637 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1638 - added docs and tests
1640 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1641 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1642 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1643 be considered "ready to use".
1645 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1646 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1647 - test coverage is now at 99%
1650 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1651 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1652 metaclass pragma instead.

1665 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1667 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1668 metaclass a little more straightforward
1671 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1672 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1673 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1674 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1678 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1679 is now more useful for subclasses
1680 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1681 hash of attribute meta objects
1682 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1683 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1684 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1685 attribute meta-object itself
1686 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1687 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1688 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1698 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1699 - added tests and docs for this
1702 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1704 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1706 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006

1709 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1710 attributes/methods respectively
1713 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1716 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1717 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1718 - added new example:
1721 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1723 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6

1748 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1749 - adding POD documentation to the examples
