1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
3 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
4 - removed the dependency for Clone since
5 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
8 - added &package_name, &name and
9 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
10 which were formerly private subs in
13 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
14 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
15 before, after and around modifiers
16 - added tests and docs for this feature
19 - improved &get_package_variable
20 - &version and &superclasses now use it
21 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
23 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
24 - &add_before_method_modifier
25 - &add_after_method_modifier
26 - &add_around_method_modifier
27 - added tests and docs for these
28 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
29 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
31 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
32 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
36 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
37 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
38 the test skip if it is not installed
40 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
42 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
45 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
46 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
47 - added docs and tests
49 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
50 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
51 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
52 be considered "ready to use".
54 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
55 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
56 - test coverage is now at 99%
59 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
60 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
61 metaclass pragma instead.
64 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
67 * Class::MOP::Attribute
68 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
72 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
74 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
76 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
77 metaclass a little more straightforward
80 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
81 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
82 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
83 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
87 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
88 is now more useful for subclasses
89 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
90 hash of attribute meta objects
91 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
92 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
93 since all the same info can be gotten from the
94 attribute meta-object itself
95 - updated docs & tests to reflect
96 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
97 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
98 - added docs & tests for this
99 - added Clone as a dependency
100 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
101 return blessed new or cloned instances
102 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
103 - added docs & tests for this
104 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
105 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
106 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
107 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
108 - added tests and docs for this
111 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
113 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
115 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
117 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
118 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
119 attributes/methods respectively
122 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
125 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
126 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
130 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
132 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
134 * Class::MOP::Attribute
135 - improved error messages
138 - added new examples:
139 - AttributesWithHistory
140 - ClassEncapsultedAttributes
142 0.03 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
143 - converted to Module::Build instead of EU::MM
145 * Class::MOP::Attribute
146 - refactored method generation code
147 - attributes are now associated with class directly
150 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
151 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
152 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
153 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
154 namespaces really, they are just examples)
156 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
157 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
158 - adding POD documentation to the examples
