1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
11 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
12 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
16 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
18 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
19 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
20 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
26 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
27 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
31 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
32 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
33 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
35 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
37 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
39 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
41 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
45 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
47 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
51 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
52 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
54 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
58 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
59 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
61 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
62 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
64 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
66 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
67 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
68 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
70 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
72 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
74 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
75 modules (nothingmuch).
78 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
83 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
84 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
85 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
88 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
89 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
92 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
93 * Class::MOP::Attribute
94 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
95 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
96 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
97 attributes. (nothingmuch)
99 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
101 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
102 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
103 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
104 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
105 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
107 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
108 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
109 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
111 * Class::MOP::Package
112 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
113 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
115 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
116 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
117 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
119 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
120 * Class::MOP::Package
121 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
124 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
127 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
128 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
129 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
132 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
133 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
135 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
137 * Class::MOP::Package
138 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
141 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
142 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
144 * Class::MOP::Attribute
146 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
149 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
150 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
151 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
152 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
155 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
156 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
157 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
158 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
159 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
160 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
164 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
165 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
169 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
170 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
171 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
175 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
176 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
179 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
180 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
181 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
185 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
186 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
187 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
188 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
189 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
192 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
193 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
195 * Class::MOP::Instance
196 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
197 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
199 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
201 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
203 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
206 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
208 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
209 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
212 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
213 changed back in 0.82_01)
214 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
215 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
218 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
219 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
221 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
223 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
224 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
225 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
228 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
229 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
232 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
233 * Class::MOP::Attribute
234 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
236 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
237 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
238 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
241 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
244 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
245 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
246 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
247 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
248 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
251 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
254 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
256 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
260 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
261 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
262 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
263 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
267 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
270 * Class::MOP::Package
271 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
274 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
277 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
279 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
282 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
283 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
284 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
285 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
288 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
289 was removed in 0.82_01.
291 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
292 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
293 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
294 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
295 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
296 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
297 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
298 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
299 for the Moose compatibility handling code
300 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
302 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
304 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
305 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
307 * Class::MOP::Immutable
308 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
309 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
310 provides its own constructor (doy)
312 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
315 * Class::MOP::Instance
316 * Class::MOP::Attribute
317 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
318 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
319 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
320 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
323 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
324 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
326 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
328 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
329 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
331 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
332 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
333 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
334 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
335 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
338 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
339 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
340 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
341 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
342 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
343 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
344 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
346 - Class::MOP::Instance
347 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
351 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
352 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
353 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
355 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
356 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
357 when an object is constructed)
358 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
360 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
361 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
362 when an object is constructed)
363 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
364 - attributes => _attributes
365 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
367 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
369 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
370 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
371 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
374 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
375 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
376 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
379 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
380 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
381 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
382 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
386 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
387 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
388 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
389 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
390 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
391 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
393 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
394 * No changes from 0.78_02.
396 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
398 * Class::MOP::Immutable
399 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
400 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
401 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
402 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
406 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
407 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
410 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
411 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
412 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
414 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
416 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
417 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
420 * Class::MOP::Instance
421 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
422 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
423 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
424 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
426 * Class::MOP::Attribute
427 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
428 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
429 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
431 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
432 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
433 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
437 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
438 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
439 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
440 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
442 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
443 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
444 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
445 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
446 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
447 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
448 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
449 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
450 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
453 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
454 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
457 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
459 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
460 * No changes from 0.77_01
462 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
464 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
465 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
466 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
467 against the pure Perl version of this code.
469 * Class::MOP::Instance
470 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
471 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
474 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
476 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
480 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
481 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
485 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
486 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
488 * Class::MOP::Package
489 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
490 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
493 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
497 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
498 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
499 near future release. You've been warned.
501 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
502 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
503 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
504 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
506 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
507 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
510 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
511 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
514 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
517 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
518 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
520 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
522 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
523 sharing an immutable transformer object
524 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
525 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
527 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
529 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
530 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
531 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
532 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
534 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
535 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
537 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
539 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
540 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
542 * t/082_get_code_info.t
543 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
544 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
545 succeed in that case.
547 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
548 * Class::MOP::Package
549 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
552 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
553 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
555 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
556 * Class::MOP::Immutable
557 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
558 the constructor was inlined.
559 * Class::MOP::Package
560 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
561 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
562 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
564 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
565 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
567 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
569 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
570 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
571 * Class::MOP::Immutable
572 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
573 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
574 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
577 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
578 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
579 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
580 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
581 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
582 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
583 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
584 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
585 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
586 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
588 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
591 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
592 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
595 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
597 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
598 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
600 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
602 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
603 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
604 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
607 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
608 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
609 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
612 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
614 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
615 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
617 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
618 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
619 times in an eval. (t0m)
621 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
623 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
624 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
625 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
626 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
627 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
628 - added test for this
630 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
631 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
632 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
635 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
636 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
640 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
641 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
642 aliased methods and "real" methods.
644 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
645 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
646 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
647 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
650 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
651 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
654 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
655 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
656 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
657 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
658 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
659 for sad systems without a compiler.
662 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
663 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
666 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
667 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
668 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
670 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
672 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
673 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
674 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
675 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
677 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
678 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
679 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
680 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
682 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
684 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
685 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
688 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
689 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
690 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
692 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
694 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
696 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
697 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
698 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
700 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
701 * Class::MOP::Package
702 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
703 releases. (nothingmuch)
706 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
708 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
709 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
710 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
713 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
716 * Class::MOP::Instance
717 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
719 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
721 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
722 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
723 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
724 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
727 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
728 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
732 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
733 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
734 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
735 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
736 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
739 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
740 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
741 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
744 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
745 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
746 consistency (nothingmuch)
747 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
749 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
750 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
751 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
752 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
755 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
756 * Class::MOP::Immutable
757 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
759 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
761 * Class::MOP::Instance
762 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
763 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
765 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
767 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
768 the class is already loaded (sartak)
769 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
770 instead of just 1 (sartak)
773 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
775 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
776 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
777 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
779 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
780 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
781 recognizes it correct this time.
783 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
784 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
787 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
788 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
791 - now stores the instance of the instance
792 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
793 and deletes it when the cache is blown
794 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
795 the options used to make it immutable as well as
796 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
798 * Class::MOP::Package
799 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
800 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
801 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
805 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
807 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
808 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
810 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
811 names now throw a more direct error in
813 - tests for this and other aspects of
819 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
820 Class::MOP::Attribute
821 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
824 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
825 (late night release engineering)--
827 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
828 changes in this release
830 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
831 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
832 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
835 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
836 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
837 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
840 * Class::MOP::Package
841 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
843 - inlining a few calls to &name with
844 direct HASH access key access
845 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
846 a HASH of items based on a type filter
847 similar to list_all_package_symbols
848 - added tests for this
851 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
852 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
853 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
854 - added more descriptive error message to help
855 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
856 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
858 * Class::MOP::Immutable
859 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
861 - added tests for this
863 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
865 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
866 function from MRO::Compat
867 - All XS based functionality now has a
868 Pure Perl alternative
869 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
870 can now be used to force non-XS versions
873 * Class::MOP::Attribute

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

886 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
887 allow for it to work.
888 - added tests for this
890 * Class::MOP::Attribute
892 Class::MOP::Immutable
893 - any time a method meta object is constructed
894 we make sure to pass the correct package and
895 method name information
898 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
899 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
900 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
901 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
902 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
903 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
904 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
905 throw an error if these are not supplied.
906 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
907 and now store the package_name and name attributes
910 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
911 Module::Install support has been removed
913 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
914 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
915 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
916 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
920 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
921 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
923 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
924 when it has no init_arg
925 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
926 to support c3 classes.
928 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
931 - making sure that load_class never gets
932 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
933 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
936 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
938 - improved error handling in ->create method
939 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
940 will be used to populate values
941 - added tests for this
944 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
945 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
951 Class::MOP::Attribute
952 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
953 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
955 * Class::MOP::Instance
956 Class::MOP::Immutable
957 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
960 - fixed the filename length on several
961 test files so we install on VMS better
963 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
964 should be catfile (RT #32385)
966 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
967 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
970 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
971 Class::MOP::Attribute
972 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
973 to indicate that no constructor args can
974 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
975 - added tests for this
976 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
979 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
980 feature instead of the silly hack from
981 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
983 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
985 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
988 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
989 - removed assumptions about the existence of
992 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
993 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
994 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
997 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
998 constant so that we can take advantage
999 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1002 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1003 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1004 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1005 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1006 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1007 - added tests for this
1009 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1010 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1011 the transformer which immutablized it
1013 * Class::MOP::Instance
1014 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1015 - added tests for this
1017 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1019 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1020 transformation arguments are saved
1022 - added tests for this
1024 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1025 - fixed a bug (see above)
1027 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1030 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1031 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1032 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1035 - removed the dependency on B
1036 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1037 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1038 the B fiddling we were doing with
1039 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1040 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1041 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1042 be used to help manage method caching.
1045 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1046 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1047 even more accurate caching information.
1048 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1051 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1052 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1053 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1054 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1056 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1057 of the new method map caching features
1059 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1060 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1061 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1062 HASH ref case, which makes the
1063 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1064 - added more tests for this
1066 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1067 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1068 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1069 - added more tests for this
1071 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1073 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1074 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1075 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1077 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1078 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1079 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1080 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1082 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1083 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1084 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1086 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1089 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1091 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1094 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1095 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1096 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1097 call through (groditi)
1099 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1100 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1101 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1102 it is defined (groditi)
1104 * Class::MOP::Instance
1105 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1106 it is defined (groditi)
1108 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1109 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1110 - removed the relevant attributes
1112 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1113 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1114 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1115 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1117 - added tests for this
1118 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1119 non-inlined constructors.
1120 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1122 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1123 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1124 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1125 - added tests for this
1128 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1129 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1132 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1134 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1135 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1137 * Class::MOP::Package
1138 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1141 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1143 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1145 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1146 it manually now so that people can use this
1147 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1149 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1151 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1152 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1153 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1156 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1157 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1158 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1159 - removed unused variable
1160 - added create_immutable_transformer
1161 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1162 - tests for this (groditi)
1165 - Immutability can now be undone,
1166 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1167 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1168 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1169 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1170 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1171 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1172 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1173 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1174 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1176 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1177 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1179 * Class::MOP::Package
1180 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1185 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1186 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1188 - added tests and POD for this
1191 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1192 handles undef values correctly.
1193 - added tests for this
1194 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1195 will not get reaped when instances still
1196 exist which need to reference them. This is
1197 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1198 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1199 many work arounds out in the wild.
1200 - added tests for this by groditi
1201 - updated docs to explain this
1204 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1205 - added tests for this behavior
1207 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1208 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1211 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1212 - added tests and docs for these
1214 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1215 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1216 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1220 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1225 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1226 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1227 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1228 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1229 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1232 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1234 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1235 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1236 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1239 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1240 immutable transformation instead of
1241 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1243 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1244 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1245 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1246 be coming eventually.
1249 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1251 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1252 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1256 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1259 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1261 - constructor generation is now handled by
1262 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1264 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1265 - created this to handle constructor generation
1266 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1268 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1270 - attributes now delegate to the
1271 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1274 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1275 - all accessor generation functions from
1276 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1278 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1281 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1282 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1286 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1287 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1288 they are aliased from the originals
1289 - fixed tests to reflect
1290 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1292 - adjusted tests for this
1293 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1296 * Class::MOP::Method
1298 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1299 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1300 - adjusted tests to compensate
1301 - adjusted docs for this
1304 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1305 encapsulate most of the work into the
1306 &get_method_map method
1307 - made several adjustments for the change
1308 in Class::MOP::Method
1309 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1310 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1311 old one before installing the new one
1312 - added tests for this
1313 - adjusted docs for this
1315 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1316 - added caching of &get_method_map
1317 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1318 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1321 - added filtering capabilities to
1322 &list_all_package_symbols
1324 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1326 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1327 the $:version and such just actually goes
1328 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1329 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1331 - The &create method now requires that all
1332 but the package name now is passed in as
1333 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1334 - updated docs and tests for this
1336 * Class::MOP::Object
1337 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1359 are no longer allowed for defaults
1360 - added tests for this
1362 * Class::MOP::Package
1363 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1364 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1365 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1367 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1369 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1370 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1371 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1372 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1374 * Class::MOP::Package
1375 - refactored entire class, this is now
1376 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1377 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1378 - added many tests for this
1379 - this class is now a subclass of
1381 - added some tests to reflect this

1385 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1387 * Class::MOP::Module
1388 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1389 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1390 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1391 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1392 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us

1414 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1415 the value of the attribute for a particular
1418 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1419 ---------------------------------------
1420 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1421 to introduce the immutable features which
1422 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1423 This support should still be considered
1424 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1425 ---------------------------------------
1427 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1429 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1430 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1431 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1434 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1435 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1436 ::Package and now inherited
1437 - added tests for this
1439 * Class::MOP::Instance
1440 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1441 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1442 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1443 instance creation (of course)
1446 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1447 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1448 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1449 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1450 table manipulation methods.
1452 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1453 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1455 - small change in &create so that it behaves
1456 properly when inherited
1457 - small fix to &clone_instance
1459 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1460 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1461 - This release works in combination with
1462 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1463 because it introduces a new instance
1464 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1468 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1469 - added tests for this
1470 - improved method modifier wrapping
1472 * Class::MOP::Instance
1473 - added new instance protocol
1474 - added tests for this
1475 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1477 - Class::MOP::Attribute
1481 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
1482 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1484 - updated tests for this
1487 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1488 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
1490 - added tests for this

1507 - added tests for this
1508 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1509 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1510 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1511 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1512 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1513 delegates appropriately
1515 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1516 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1517 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1518 called initialize_instance_slot
1521 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
1522 initialize_instance_slot method
1524 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1545 - added test case for this
1547 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1549 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1550 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1551 available in DESTORY calls
1553 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1554 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1555 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1557 * Class::MOP::Method
1558 - added &package_name, &name and
1559 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1560 which were formerly private subs in
1563 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1564 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1565 before, after and around modifiers
1566 - added tests and docs for this feature
1569 - improved &get_package_symbol
1570 - &version and &superclasses now use it
1571 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method

1576 - &add_around_method_modifier
1577 - added tests and docs for these

1581 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1582 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1586 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
1587 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
1588 the test skip if it is not installed
1590 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
1592 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1595 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1596 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1597 - added docs and tests
1599 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1600 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1601 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1602 be considered "ready to use".
1604 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1605 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1606 - test coverage is now at 99%
1609 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1610 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1611 metaclass pragma instead.
1614 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1615 error/edge-case tests
1617 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1618 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the

1622 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
1624 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1626 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1627 metaclass a little more straightforward
1630 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1631 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1632 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1633 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1637 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1638 is now more useful for subclasses
1639 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1640 hash of attribute meta objects
1641 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1642 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1643 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1644 attribute meta-object itself
1645 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1646 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1647 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1648 - added docs & tests for this
1649 - added Clone as a dependency
1650 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
1651 return blessed new or cloned instances
1652 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1653 - added docs & tests for this
1654 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1655 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1656 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1657 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1658 - added tests and docs for this
1661 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1663 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1665 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
1667 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
1668 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1669 attributes/methods respectively
1672 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1675 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1676 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1677 - added new example:
1680 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1682 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6

1704 namespaces really, they are just examples)
1706 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
1707 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1708 - adding POD documentation to the examples
