1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
6 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
12 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
13 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
17 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
18 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
19 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
21 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
23 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
25 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
27 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
31 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
33 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
37 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
38 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
40 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
44 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
45 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
47 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
48 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
50 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
52 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
53 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
54 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
56 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
58 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
60 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
61 modules (nothingmuch).
64 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
69 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
70 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
71 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
74 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
75 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
78 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
79 * Class::MOP::Attribute
80 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
81 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
82 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
83 attributes. (nothingmuch)
85 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
87 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
88 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
89 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
90 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
91 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
93 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
94 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
95 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
98 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
99 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
101 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
102 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
103 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
105 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
106 * Class::MOP::Package
107 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
110 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
113 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
114 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
115 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
118 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
119 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
121 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
123 * Class::MOP::Package
124 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
127 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
128 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
130 * Class::MOP::Attribute
132 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
135 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
136 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
137 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
138 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
141 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
142 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
143 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
144 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
145 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
146 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
150 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
151 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
155 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
156 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
157 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
161 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
162 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
165 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
166 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
167 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
171 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
172 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
173 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
174 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
175 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
178 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
179 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
181 * Class::MOP::Instance
182 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
183 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
185 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
187 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
189 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
192 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
194 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
195 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
198 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
199 changed back in 0.82_01)
200 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
201 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
204 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
205 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
207 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
209 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
210 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
211 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
214 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
215 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
218 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
219 * Class::MOP::Attribute
220 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
222 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
223 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
224 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
227 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
230 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
231 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
232 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
233 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
234 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
237 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
240 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
242 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
246 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
247 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
248 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
249 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
253 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
256 * Class::MOP::Package
257 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
260 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
263 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
265 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
268 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
269 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
270 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
271 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
274 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
275 was removed in 0.82_01.
277 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
278 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
279 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
280 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
281 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
282 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
283 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
284 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
285 for the Moose compatibility handling code
286 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
288 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
290 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
291 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
293 * Class::MOP::Immutable
294 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
295 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
296 provides its own constructor (doy)
298 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
301 * Class::MOP::Instance
302 * Class::MOP::Attribute
303 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
304 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
305 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
306 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
309 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
310 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
312 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
314 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
315 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
317 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
318 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
319 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
320 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
321 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
324 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
325 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
326 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
327 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
328 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
329 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
330 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
332 - Class::MOP::Instance
333 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
337 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
338 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
339 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
341 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
342 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
343 when an object is constructed)
344 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
346 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
347 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
348 when an object is constructed)
349 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
350 - attributes => _attributes
351 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
353 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
355 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
356 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
357 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
360 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
361 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
362 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
365 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
366 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
367 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
368 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
372 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
373 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
374 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
375 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
376 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
377 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
379 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
380 * No changes from 0.78_02.
382 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
384 * Class::MOP::Immutable
385 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
386 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
387 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
388 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
392 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
393 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
396 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
397 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
398 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
400 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
402 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
403 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
406 * Class::MOP::Instance
407 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
408 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
409 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
410 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
412 * Class::MOP::Attribute
413 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
414 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
415 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
417 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
418 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
419 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
423 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
424 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
425 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
426 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
428 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
429 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
430 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
431 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
432 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
433 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
434 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
435 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
436 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
439 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
440 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
443 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
445 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
446 * No changes from 0.77_01
448 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
450 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
451 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
452 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
453 against the pure Perl version of this code.
455 * Class::MOP::Instance
456 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
457 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
460 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
462 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
466 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
467 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
471 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
472 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
474 * Class::MOP::Package
475 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
476 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
479 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
483 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
484 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
485 near future release. You've been warned.
487 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
488 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
489 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
490 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
492 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
493 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
496 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
497 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
500 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
503 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
504 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
506 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
508 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
509 sharing an immutable transformer object
510 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
511 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
513 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
515 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
516 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
517 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
518 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
520 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
521 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
523 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
525 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
526 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
528 * t/082_get_code_info.t
529 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
530 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
531 succeed in that case.
533 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
534 * Class::MOP::Package
535 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
538 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
539 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
541 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
542 * Class::MOP::Immutable
543 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
544 the constructor was inlined.
545 * Class::MOP::Package
546 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
547 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
548 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
550 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
551 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
553 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
555 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
556 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
557 * Class::MOP::Immutable
558 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
559 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
560 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
563 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
564 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
565 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
566 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
567 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
568 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
569 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
570 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
571 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
572 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
574 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
577 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
578 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
581 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
583 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
584 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
586 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
588 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
589 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
590 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
593 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
594 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
595 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
598 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
600 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
601 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
603 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
604 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
605 times in an eval. (t0m)
607 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
609 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
610 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
611 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
612 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
613 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
614 - added test for this
616 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
617 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
618 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
621 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
622 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
626 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
627 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
628 aliased methods and "real" methods.
630 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
631 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
632 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
633 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
636 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
637 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
640 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
641 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
642 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
643 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
644 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
645 for sad systems without a compiler.
648 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
649 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
652 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
653 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
654 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
656 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
658 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
659 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
660 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
661 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
663 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
664 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
665 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
666 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
668 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
670 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
671 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
674 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
675 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
676 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
678 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
680 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
682 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
683 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
684 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
686 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
687 * Class::MOP::Package
688 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
689 releases. (nothingmuch)
692 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
694 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
695 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
696 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
699 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
702 * Class::MOP::Instance
703 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
705 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
707 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
708 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
709 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
710 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
713 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
714 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
718 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
719 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
720 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
721 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
722 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
725 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
726 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
727 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
730 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
731 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
732 consistency (nothingmuch)
733 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
735 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
736 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
737 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
738 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
741 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
742 * Class::MOP::Immutable
743 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
745 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
747 * Class::MOP::Instance
748 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
749 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
751 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
753 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
754 the class is already loaded (sartak)
755 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
756 instead of just 1 (sartak)
759 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
761 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
762 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
763 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
765 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
766 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
767 recognizes it correct this time.
769 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
770 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
773 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
774 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
777 - now stores the instance of the instance
778 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
779 and deletes it when the cache is blown
780 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
781 the options used to make it immutable as well as
782 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
784 * Class::MOP::Package
785 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
786 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
787 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
791 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
793 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
794 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
796 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
797 names now throw a more direct error in
799 - tests for this and other aspects of
805 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
806 Class::MOP::Attribute
807 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
810 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
811 (late night release engineering)--
813 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
814 changes in this release
816 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
817 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
818 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
821 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
822 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
823 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
826 * Class::MOP::Package
827 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
829 - inlining a few calls to &name with
830 direct HASH access key access
831 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
832 a HASH of items based on a type filter
833 similar to list_all_package_symbols
834 - added tests for this
837 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
838 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
839 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
840 - added more descriptive error message to help
841 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
842 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
844 * Class::MOP::Immutable
845 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
847 - added tests for this
849 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
851 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
852 function from MRO::Compat
853 - All XS based functionality now has a
854 Pure Perl alternative
855 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
856 can now be used to force non-XS versions
859 * Class::MOP::Attribute

862 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
864 - added tests for this
866 * Class::MOP::Immutable
867 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
868 making the class immutable
871 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
872 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
873 allow for it to work.
874 - added tests for this
876 * Class::MOP::Attribute
878 Class::MOP::Immutable
879 - any time a method meta object is constructed
880 we make sure to pass the correct package and
881 method name information
884 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
885 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
886 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
887 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
888 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
889 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
890 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
891 throw an error if these are not supplied.
892 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
893 and now store the package_name and name attributes
896 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
897 Module::Install support has been removed
899 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
900 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
901 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
902 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
906 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
907 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
909 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
910 when it has no init_arg
911 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
912 to support c3 classes.
914 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
917 - making sure that load_class never gets
918 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
919 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
922 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
924 - improved error handling in ->create method
925 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
926 will be used to populate values
927 - added tests for this
930 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
931 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
937 Class::MOP::Attribute
938 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
939 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
941 * Class::MOP::Instance
942 Class::MOP::Immutable
943 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
946 - fixed the filename length on several
947 test files so we install on VMS better
949 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
950 should be catfile (RT #32385)
952 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
953 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
956 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
957 Class::MOP::Attribute
958 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
959 to indicate that no constructor args can
960 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
961 - added tests for this
962 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
965 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
966 feature instead of the silly hack from
967 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
969 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
971 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
974 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
975 - removed assumptions about the existence of
978 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
979 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
980 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
983 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
984 constant so that we can take advantage
985 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
988 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
989 optimize the &linearized_isa method
990 and avoid the hack/check for circular
991 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
992 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
993 - added tests for this
995 * Class::MOP::Immutable
996 - the immutable class now keeps track of
997 the transformer which immutablized it
999 * Class::MOP::Instance
1000 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1001 - added tests for this
1003 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1005 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1006 transformation arguments are saved
1008 - added tests for this
1010 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1011 - fixed a bug (see above)
1013 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1016 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1017 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1018 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1021 - removed the dependency on B
1022 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1023 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1024 the B fiddling we were doing with
1025 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1026 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1027 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1028 be used to help manage method caching.
1031 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1032 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1033 even more accurate caching information.
1034 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1037 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1038 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1039 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1040 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1042 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1043 of the new method map caching features
1045 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1046 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1047 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1048 HASH ref case, which makes the
1049 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1050 - added more tests for this
1052 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1053 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1054 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1055 - added more tests for this
1057 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1059 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1060 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1061 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1063 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1064 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1065 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1066 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1068 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1069 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1070 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1072 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1080 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1081 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1082 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1083 call through (groditi)
1085 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1086 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)

1088 it is defined (groditi)
1090 * Class::MOP::Instance
1091 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1092 it is defined (groditi)
1094 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1095 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1096 - removed the relevant attributes
1098 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1099 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1100 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1101 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1103 - added tests for this
1104 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1105 non-inlined constructors.
1106 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1108 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1109 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1110 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1111 - added tests for this
1114 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1115 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1118 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1120 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1121 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1123 * Class::MOP::Package
1124 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1127 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1129 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1131 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1132 it manually now so that people can use this
1133 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1135 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1137 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1138 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1139 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1142 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1143 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1144 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1145 - removed unused variable
1146 - added create_immutable_transformer
1147 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1148 - tests for this (groditi)
1151 - Immutability can now be undone,
1152 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1153 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1154 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1155 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1156 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1157 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1158 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1159 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1160 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1162 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1163 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1165 * Class::MOP::Package
1166 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1167 - added tests for this
1168 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1170 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1171 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1172 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1174 - added tests and POD for this
1177 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1178 handles undef values correctly.
1179 - added tests for this
1180 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1181 will not get reaped when instances still
1182 exist which need to reference them. This is
1183 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1184 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1185 many work arounds out in the wild.
1186 - added tests for this by groditi
1187 - updated docs to explain this
1190 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1191 - added tests for this behavior
1193 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1194 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1197 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1198 - added tests and docs for these
1200 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1201 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1202 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1206 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1211 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1212 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1213 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1214 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1215 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1218 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1220 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1221 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1222 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1225 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1226 immutable transformation instead of
1227 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1229 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1230 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1231 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1232 be coming eventually.
1235 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1237 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1238 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1242 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1245 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1247 - constructor generation is now handled by
1248 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1250 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1251 - created this to handle constructor generation
1252 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1254 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1256 - attributes now delegate to the
1257 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1260 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1261 - all accessor generation functions from
1262 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1264 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1267 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1268 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1272 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1273 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1274 they are aliased from the originals
1275 - fixed tests to reflect
1276 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1278 - adjusted tests for this
1279 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1282 * Class::MOP::Method
1284 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1285 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1286 - adjusted tests to compensate
1287 - adjusted docs for this
1290 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1291 encapsulate most of the work into the
1292 &get_method_map method
1293 - made several adjustments for the change
1294 in Class::MOP::Method
1295 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1296 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1297 old one before installing the new one
1298 - added tests for this
1299 - adjusted docs for this
1301 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1302 - added caching of &get_method_map
1303 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1304 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
1306 * Class::MOP::Package
1307 - added filtering capabilities to
1308 &list_all_package_symbols
1310 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1312 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1313 the $:version and such just actually goes
1314 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1315 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1317 - The &create method now requires that all
1318 but the package name now is passed in as
1319 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1320 - updated docs and tests for this
1322 * Class::MOP::Object
1323 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1345 are no longer allowed for defaults
1346 - added tests for this
1348 * Class::MOP::Package
1349 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1350 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1351 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1353 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1355 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1356 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1357 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1358 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1360 * Class::MOP::Package
1361 - refactored entire class, this is now
1362 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1363 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1364 - added many tests for this
1365 - this class is now a subclass of
1367 - added some tests to reflect this
1370 - refactored all symbol table access to
1371 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1373 * Class::MOP::Module
1374 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1375 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1376 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1377 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1378 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1379 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1380 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1381 - added tests for this

1396 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1397 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1399 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1400 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1401 the value of the attribute for a particular
1404 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1405 ---------------------------------------
1406 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1407 to introduce the immutable features which
1408 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1409 This support should still be considered
1410 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1411 ---------------------------------------
1413 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1415 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1416 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1417 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1420 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1421 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1422 ::Package and now inherited
1423 - added tests for this
1425 * Class::MOP::Instance
1426 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1427 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1428 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1429 instance creation (of course)
1432 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1433 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1434 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1435 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1436 table manipulation methods.
1438 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1439 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++

1443 - small fix to &clone_instance
1445 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1446 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1447 - This release works in combination with
1448 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1449 because it introduces a new instance
1450 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1454 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1455 - added tests for this
1456 - improved method modifier wrapping
1458 * Class::MOP::Instance
1459 - added new instance protocol
1460 - added tests for this
1461 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1463 - Class::MOP::Attribute
1467 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
1468 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1470 - updated tests for this
1473 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1474 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
1476 - added tests for this
1477 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
1478 new instance protocol

1493 - added tests for this
1494 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1495 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1496 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1497 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1498 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1499 delegates appropriately
1501 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1502 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1503 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1504 called initialize_instance_slot
1507 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
1508 initialize_instance_slot method
1510 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
1512 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
1513 modifiers get named with Sub::Name

1531 - added test case for this
1533 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1535 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1536 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1537 available in DESTORY calls
1539 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1540 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1541 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1543 * Class::MOP::Method
1544 - added &package_name, &name and
1545 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1546 which were formerly private subs in
1549 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1550 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1551 before, after and around modifiers
1552 - added tests and docs for this feature
1555 - improved &get_package_symbol
1556 - &version and &superclasses now use it

1562 - &add_around_method_modifier
1563 - added tests and docs for these

1567 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1568 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1572 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
1573 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
1574 the test skip if it is not installed
1576 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
1578 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1581 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1582 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1583 - added docs and tests
1585 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1586 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1587 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1588 be considered "ready to use".
1590 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1591 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1592 - test coverage is now at 99%
1595 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1596 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1597 metaclass pragma instead.
1600 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1601 error/edge-case tests
1603 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1604 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the

1608 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
1610 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1612 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1613 metaclass a little more straightforward
1616 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1617 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1618 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1619 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1623 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1624 is now more useful for subclasses
1625 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1626 hash of attribute meta objects
1627 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1628 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1629 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1630 attribute meta-object itself
1631 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1632 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1633 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1634 - added docs & tests for this
1635 - added Clone as a dependency
1636 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
1637 return blessed new or cloned instances
1638 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1639 - added docs & tests for this
1640 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1641 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1642 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1643 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1644 - added tests and docs for this
1647 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1649 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1651 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
1653 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
1654 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1655 attributes/methods respectively
1658 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1661 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1662 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1663 - added new example:
1666 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1668 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6

1688 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
1689 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
1690 namespaces really, they are just examples)
1692 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
1693 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1694 - adding POD documentation to the examples
