1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
7 * It's now possible to tell Class::MOP::Class->create and the metaclass
8 pragma to not install a 'meta' method into classes they manipulate. (doy)
10 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
11 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
12 reinitialized metaclass). (doy)
16 * Use get_or_add_package_symbol when we intend for it to autovivify, in
17 preparation for changes in Package::Stash. (doy)
19 * We now use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to force authors to run all
20 tests, just like we do for Moose. (sartak)
22 1.08 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
26 * The get_method_list and _get_local_methods methods blew up in the face
27 of subroutine stubs. (Goro Fuji)
29 1.07 Tue, Aug 25, 2010
33 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
34 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
35 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
38 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
42 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
43 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
44 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
47 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
51 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
52 for inlined code (doy).
54 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
56 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
60 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
61 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
62 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
63 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
64 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
71 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
73 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
77 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
78 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
82 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
84 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
85 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
86 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
92 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
93 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
97 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
98 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
99 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
101 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
103 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
105 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
107 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
111 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
113 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
117 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
118 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
120 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
124 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
125 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
127 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
128 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
130 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
132 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
133 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
134 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
136 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
138 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
140 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
141 modules (nothingmuch).
143 * Class::MOP::Package
144 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
148 * Class::MOP::Package
149 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
150 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
151 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
154 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
155 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
158 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
159 * Class::MOP::Attribute
160 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
161 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
162 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
163 attributes. (nothingmuch)
165 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
167 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
168 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
169 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
170 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
171 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
173 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
174 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
175 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
177 * Class::MOP::Package
178 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
179 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
181 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
182 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
183 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
185 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
186 * Class::MOP::Package
187 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
190 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
193 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
194 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
195 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
198 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
199 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
201 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
203 * Class::MOP::Package
204 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
207 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
208 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
210 * Class::MOP::Attribute
212 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
215 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
216 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
217 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
218 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
221 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
222 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
223 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
224 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
225 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
226 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
230 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
231 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
235 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
236 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
237 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
241 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
242 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
245 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
246 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
247 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
251 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
252 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
253 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
254 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
255 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
258 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
259 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
261 * Class::MOP::Instance
262 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
263 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
265 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
267 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
269 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
272 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
274 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
275 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
278 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
279 changed back in 0.82_01)
280 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
281 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
284 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
285 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
287 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
289 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
290 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
291 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
294 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
295 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
298 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
299 * Class::MOP::Attribute
300 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
302 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
303 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
304 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
307 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
310 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
311 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
312 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
313 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
314 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
317 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
320 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
322 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
326 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
327 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
328 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
329 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
333 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
336 * Class::MOP::Package
337 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
340 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
343 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
345 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
348 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
349 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
350 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
351 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
354 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
355 was removed in 0.82_01.
357 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
358 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
359 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
360 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
361 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
362 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
363 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
364 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
365 for the Moose compatibility handling code
366 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
368 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
370 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
371 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
373 * Class::MOP::Immutable
374 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
375 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
376 provides its own constructor (doy)
378 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
381 * Class::MOP::Instance
382 * Class::MOP::Attribute
383 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
384 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
385 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
386 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
389 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
390 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
392 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
394 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
395 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
397 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
398 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
399 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
400 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
401 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
404 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
405 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
406 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
407 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
408 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
409 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
410 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
412 - Class::MOP::Instance
413 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
417 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
418 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
419 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
421 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
422 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
423 when an object is constructed)
424 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
426 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
427 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
428 when an object is constructed)
429 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
430 - attributes => _attributes
431 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
433 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
435 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
436 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
437 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
440 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
441 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
442 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
445 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
446 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
447 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
448 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
452 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
453 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
454 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
455 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
456 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
457 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
459 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
460 * No changes from 0.78_02.
462 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
464 * Class::MOP::Immutable
465 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
466 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
467 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
468 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
472 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
473 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
476 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
477 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
478 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
480 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
482 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
483 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
486 * Class::MOP::Instance
487 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
488 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
489 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
490 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
492 * Class::MOP::Attribute
493 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
494 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
495 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
497 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
498 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
499 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
503 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
504 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
505 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
506 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
508 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
509 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
510 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
511 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
512 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
513 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
514 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
515 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
516 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
519 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
520 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
523 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
525 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
526 * No changes from 0.77_01
528 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
530 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
531 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
532 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
533 against the pure Perl version of this code.
535 * Class::MOP::Instance
536 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
537 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
540 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
542 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
546 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
547 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
551 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
552 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
554 * Class::MOP::Package
555 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
556 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
559 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
563 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
564 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
565 near future release. You've been warned.
567 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
568 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
569 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
570 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
572 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
573 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
576 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
577 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
580 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
583 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
584 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
586 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
588 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
589 sharing an immutable transformer object
590 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
591 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
593 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
595 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
596 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
597 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
598 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
600 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
601 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
603 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
605 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
606 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
608 * t/082_get_code_info.t
609 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
610 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
611 succeed in that case.
613 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
614 * Class::MOP::Package
615 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
618 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
619 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
621 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
622 * Class::MOP::Immutable
623 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
624 the constructor was inlined.
625 * Class::MOP::Package
626 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
627 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
628 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
630 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
631 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
633 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
635 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
636 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
637 * Class::MOP::Immutable
638 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
639 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
640 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
643 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
644 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
645 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
646 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
647 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
648 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
649 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
650 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
651 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
652 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
654 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
657 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
658 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
661 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
663 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
664 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
666 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
668 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
669 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
670 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
673 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
674 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
675 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
678 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
680 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
681 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
683 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
684 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
685 times in an eval. (t0m)
687 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
689 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
690 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
691 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
692 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
693 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
694 - added test for this
696 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
697 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
698 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
701 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
702 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
706 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
707 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
708 aliased methods and "real" methods.
710 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
711 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
712 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
713 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
716 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
717 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
720 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
721 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
722 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
723 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
724 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
725 for sad systems without a compiler.
728 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
729 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
732 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
733 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
734 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
736 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
738 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
739 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
740 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
741 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
743 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
744 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
745 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
746 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
748 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
750 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
751 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
754 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
755 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
756 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
758 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
760 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
762 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
763 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
764 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
766 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
767 * Class::MOP::Package
768 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
769 releases. (nothingmuch)
772 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
774 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
775 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
776 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
779 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
782 * Class::MOP::Instance
783 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
785 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
787 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
788 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
789 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
790 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
793 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
794 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
798 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
799 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
800 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
801 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
802 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
805 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
806 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
807 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
810 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
811 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
812 consistency (nothingmuch)
813 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
815 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
816 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
817 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
818 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
821 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
822 * Class::MOP::Immutable
823 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
825 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
827 * Class::MOP::Instance
828 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
829 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
831 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
833 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
834 the class is already loaded (sartak)
835 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
836 instead of just 1 (sartak)
839 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
841 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
842 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
843 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
845 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
846 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
847 recognizes it correct this time.
849 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
850 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
853 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
854 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
857 - now stores the instance of the instance
858 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
859 and deletes it when the cache is blown
860 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
861 the options used to make it immutable as well as
862 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
864 * Class::MOP::Package
865 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
866 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
867 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
871 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
873 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
874 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
876 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
877 names now throw a more direct error in
879 - tests for this and other aspects of
885 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
886 Class::MOP::Attribute
887 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
890 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
891 (late night release engineering)--
893 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
894 changes in this release
896 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
897 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
898 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
901 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
902 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
903 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
906 * Class::MOP::Package
907 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
909 - inlining a few calls to &name with
910 direct HASH access key access
911 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
912 a HASH of items based on a type filter
913 similar to list_all_package_symbols
914 - added tests for this
917 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
918 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
919 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
920 - added more descriptive error message to help
921 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
922 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
924 * Class::MOP::Immutable
925 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
927 - added tests for this
929 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
931 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
932 function from MRO::Compat
933 - All XS based functionality now has a
934 Pure Perl alternative
935 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable

953 allow for it to work.
954 - added tests for this
956 * Class::MOP::Attribute

964 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
965 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
966 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
967 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
968 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
969 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
970 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
971 throw an error if these are not supplied.
972 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
973 and now store the package_name and name attributes
976 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
977 Module::Install support has been removed
979 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
980 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
981 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
982 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
986 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
987 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
989 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance

991 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
992 to support c3 classes.
994 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008

998 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
999 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
1002 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
1003 (cause Sartak asked)
1004 - improved error handling in ->create method
1005 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
1006 will be used to populate values
1007 - added tests for this
1009 * Class::MOP::Object
1010 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
1011 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
1017 Class::MOP::Attribute
1018 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
1019 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1021 * Class::MOP::Instance
1022 Class::MOP::Immutable
1023 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1026 - fixed the filename length on several
1027 test files so we install on VMS better
1029 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1030 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1032 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1033 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1036 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1037 Class::MOP::Attribute
1038 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1039 to indicate that no constructor args can
1040 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1041 - added tests for this
1042 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1045 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1046 feature instead of the silly hack from
1047 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1049 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1051 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1054 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1055 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1058 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1059 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1060 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1063 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1064 constant so that we can take advantage
1065 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1068 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1069 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1070 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1071 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1072 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1073 - added tests for this
1075 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1076 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1077 the transformer which immutablized it
1079 * Class::MOP::Instance
1080 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1081 - added tests for this
1083 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1085 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1086 transformation arguments are saved
1088 - added tests for this
1090 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1091 - fixed a bug (see above)
1093 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1096 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1097 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1098 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1101 - removed the dependency on B
1102 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1103 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1104 the B fiddling we were doing with
1105 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1106 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1107 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1108 be used to help manage method caching.
1111 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1112 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1113 even more accurate caching information.
1114 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1117 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1118 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1119 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1120 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1122 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1123 of the new method map caching features
1125 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1126 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1127 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1128 HASH ref case, which makes the
1129 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1130 - added more tests for this
1132 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1133 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1134 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1135 - added more tests for this
1137 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1139 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1140 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1141 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1143 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1144 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1145 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1146 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1148 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1149 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1150 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1152 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1153 - Apparently I didn't make dist correctly (groditi)
1155 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1157 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1160 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1161 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1162 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1163 call through (groditi)
1165 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1166 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1167 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1168 it is defined (groditi)
1170 * Class::MOP::Instance
1171 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1172 it is defined (groditi)
1174 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1175 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1176 - removed the relevant attributes
1178 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1179 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1180 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1181 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1183 - added tests for this
1184 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1185 non-inlined constructors.
1186 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1188 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1189 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1190 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1191 - added tests for this
1194 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1195 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1198 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1200 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1201 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1203 * Class::MOP::Package
1204 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1207 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1209 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1211 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1212 it manually now so that people can use this
1213 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1215 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1217 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1218 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1219 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1222 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1223 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1224 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1225 - removed unused variable
1226 - added create_immutable_transformer
1227 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1228 - tests for this (groditi)
1231 - Immutability can now be undone,
1232 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1233 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1234 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1235 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1236 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1237 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1238 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1239 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1240 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1242 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1243 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1245 * Class::MOP::Package
1246 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1247 - added tests for this
1248 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1250 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1251 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1252 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1254 - added tests and POD for this
1257 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1258 handles undef values correctly.
1259 - added tests for this
1260 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1261 will not get reaped when instances still
1262 exist which need to reference them. This is
1263 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1264 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1265 many work arounds out in the wild.
1266 - added tests for this by groditi
1267 - updated docs to explain this
1270 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1271 - added tests for this behavior
1273 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1274 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1277 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1278 - added tests and docs for these
1280 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1281 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1282 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1286 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1291 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1292 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1293 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1294 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1295 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1298 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1300 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1301 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1302 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1305 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1306 immutable transformation instead of
1307 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1309 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1310 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1311 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1312 be coming eventually.
1315 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1317 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1318 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1322 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1325 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1327 - constructor generation is now handled by
1328 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1330 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1331 - created this to handle constructor generation
1332 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1334 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1336 - attributes now delegate to the
1337 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1340 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1341 - all accessor generation functions from
1342 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1344 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1346 * scripts/class_browser.pl
1347 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1348 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1352 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1353 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1354 they are aliased from the originals
1355 - fixed tests to reflect
1356 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1358 - adjusted tests for this
1359 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1362 * Class::MOP::Method
1364 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1365 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1366 - adjusted tests to compensate
1367 - adjusted docs for this
1370 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1371 encapsulate most of the work into the
1372 &get_method_map method
1373 - made several adjustments for the change
1374 in Class::MOP::Method
1375 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1376 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1377 old one before installing the new one
1378 - added tests for this
1379 - adjusted docs for this
1381 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1382 - added caching of &get_method_map
1383 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1384 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
1386 * Class::MOP::Package
1387 - added filtering capabilities to
1388 &list_all_package_symbols
1390 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1392 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1393 the $:version and such just actually goes
1394 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1395 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1397 - The &create method now requires that all
1398 but the package name now is passed in as
1399 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1400 - updated docs and tests for this
1402 * Class::MOP::Object
1403 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1407 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
1408 which do not store things in the instance
1409 - added the %:methods attribute definition to
1412 ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
1414 0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006

1417 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
1420 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
1421 - fixed all tests for this
1423 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1424 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1425 are no longer allowed for defaults
1426 - added tests for this
1428 * Class::MOP::Package
1429 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1430 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1431 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1433 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1435 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1436 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1437 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1438 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1440 * Class::MOP::Package
1441 - refactored entire class, this is now
1442 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1443 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1444 - added many tests for this
1445 - this class is now a subclass of
1447 - added some tests to reflect this
1450 - refactored all symbol table access to
1451 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1453 * Class::MOP::Module
1454 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1455 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1456 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1457 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1458 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1459 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1460 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1461 - added tests for this
1463 * Class::MOP::Instance
1464 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
1466 - added tests for this
1468 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1469 - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
1470 slots from an instance
1471 - added tests for this
1473 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
1476 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1477 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1479 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1480 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1481 the value of the attribute for a particular
1484 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1485 ---------------------------------------
1486 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1487 to introduce the immutable features which
1488 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1489 This support should still be considered
1490 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1491 ---------------------------------------
1493 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1495 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1496 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1497 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1500 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1501 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1502 ::Package and now inherited
1503 - added tests for this
1505 * Class::MOP::Instance
1506 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1507 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1508 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1509 instance creation (of course)
1512 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1513 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1514 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1515 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1516 table manipulation methods.
1518 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1519 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++

1525 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1526 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1527 - This release works in combination with
1528 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1529 because it introduces a new instance
1530 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1534 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected

1577 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1578 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1579 delegates appropriately
1581 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1582 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1583 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1584 called initialize_instance_slot

1588 initialize_instance_slot method
1590 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1613 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1615 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from

1631 before, after and around modifiers
1632 - added tests and docs for this feature

1662 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1663 - added docs and tests
1665 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1666 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1667 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1668 be considered "ready to use".
1670 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1671 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1672 - test coverage is now at 99%
1675 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1676 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the

1690 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1692 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1693 metaclass a little more straightforward
1696 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1697 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1698 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1699 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1703 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1704 is now more useful for subclasses
1705 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1706 hash of attribute meta objects
1707 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1708 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1709 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1710 attribute meta-object itself
1711 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1712 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1713 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1723 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1724 - added tests and docs for this

1734 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1735 attributes/methods respectively
1738 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1741 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1742 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class

1773 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1774 - adding POD documentation to the examples
