1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
4 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
5 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
8 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
13 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
14 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
15 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
16 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
19 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
20 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
24 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
25 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
26 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
27 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
28 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
31 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
32 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
33 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
36 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
37 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
38 consistency (nothingmuch)
39 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
41 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
42 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
43 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
44 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
47 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
48 * Class::MOP::Immutable
49 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
51 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
53 * Class::MOP::Instance
54 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
55 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
59 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
60 the class is already loaded (sartak)
61 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
62 instead of just 1 (sartak)
65 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
67 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
68 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
69 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
71 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
72 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
73 recognizes it correct this time.
75 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
76 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
79 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
80 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
83 - now stores the instance of the instance
84 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
85 and deletes it when the cache is blown
86 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
87 the options used to make it immutable as well as
88 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
91 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
92 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
93 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
97 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
99 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
100 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
102 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
103 names now throw a more direct error in
105 - tests for this and other aspects of
111 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
112 Class::MOP::Attribute
113 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
116 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
117 (late night release engineering)--
119 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
120 changes in this release
122 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
123 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
124 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
127 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
128 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
129 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
132 * Class::MOP::Package
133 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
135 - inlining a few calls to &name with
136 direct HASH access key access
137 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
138 a HASH of items based on a type filter
139 similar to list_all_package_symbols
140 - added tests for this
143 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
144 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
145 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
146 - added more descriptive error message to help
147 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
148 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
150 * Class::MOP::Immutable
151 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
153 - added tests for this
155 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
157 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
158 function from MRO::Compat
159 - All XS based functionality now has a
160 Pure Perl alternative
161 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
162 can now be used to force non-XS versions
165 * Class::MOP::Attribute

168 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
170 - added tests for this
172 * Class::MOP::Immutable
173 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
174 making the class immutable
177 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
178 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
179 allow for it to work.
180 - added tests for this
182 * Class::MOP::Attribute
184 Class::MOP::Immutable
185 - any time a method meta object is constructed
186 we make sure to pass the correct package and
187 method name information
190 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
191 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
192 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
193 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
194 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
195 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
196 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
197 throw an error if these are not supplied.
198 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
199 and now store the package_name and name attributes
202 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
203 Module::Install support has been removed
205 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
206 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
207 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
208 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
212 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
213 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
215 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
216 when it has no init_arg
217 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
218 to support c3 classes.
220 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
223 - making sure that load_class never gets
224 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
225 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
228 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
230 - improved error handling in ->create method
231 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
232 will be used to populate values
233 - added tests for this
236 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
237 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
243 Class::MOP::Attribute
244 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
245 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
247 * Class::MOP::Instance
248 Class::MOP::Immutable
249 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
252 - fixed the filename length on several
253 test files so we install on VMS better
255 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
256 should be catfile (RT #32385)

259 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
262 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

265 to indicate that no constructor args can
266 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
267 - added tests for this
268 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
271 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
272 feature instead of the silly hack from
273 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
275 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
277 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
280 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
281 - removed assumptions about the existence of
284 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
285 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
286 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
289 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
290 constant so that we can take advantage
291 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
294 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
295 optimize the &linearized_isa method
296 and avoid the hack/check for circular
297 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
298 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
299 - added tests for this
301 * Class::MOP::Immutable
302 - the immutable class now keeps track of

312 transformation arguments are saved
314 - added tests for this
316 * Class::MOP::Immutable
317 - fixed a bug (see above)
319 * Class::MOP::Attribute

323 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
324 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
327 - removed the dependency on B
328 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
329 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
330 the B fiddling we were doing with
331 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
332 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
333 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
334 be used to help manage method caching.
337 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
338 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
339 even more accurate caching information.
340 blblack++ for that stuff :)
343 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
344 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
345 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
346 track of when we need to re-fetch the
348 - Several small improvements to take advantage
349 of the new method map caching features
351 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
352 * Class::MOP::Attribute

358 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
359 * Class::MOP::Attribute
360 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
361 - added more tests for this
363 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
365 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
366 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
367 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
369 * Class::MOP::Attribute
370 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
371 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
372 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
374 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
375 * Class::MOP::Attribute
376 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
378 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

383 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
386 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
387 construct_class_instance (groditi)
388 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
389 call through (groditi)
391 * Class::MOP::Attribute
392 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
393 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
394 it is defined (groditi)

402 - removed the relevant attributes
404 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
405 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
406 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
407 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
409 - added tests for this
410 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
411 non-inlined constructors.
412 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
414 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
415 - added this class as an abstract base for the
416 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes

430 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
433 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
435 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
437 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
438 it manually now so that people can use this
439 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
441 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
443 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
444 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
445 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
448 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
449 * Class::MOP::Immutable
450 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
451 - removed unused variable
452 - added create_immutable_transformer
453 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
454 - tests for this (groditi)
457 - Immutability can now be undone,
458 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
459 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
460 for details see comments next to make_immutable
461 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
462 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
463 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
464 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
465 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
466 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
468 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
469 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
471 * Class::MOP::Package
472 - we now deal with stub methods properly
473 - added tests for this
474 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
476 * Class::MOP::Attribute
477 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
478 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
480 - added tests and POD for this
483 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
484 handles undef values correctly.
485 - added tests for this
486 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
487 will not get reaped when instances still
488 exist which need to reference them. This is
489 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
490 obscure enough feature that there are not too
491 many work arounds out in the wild.
492 - added tests for this by groditi
493 - updated docs to explain this
496 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
497 - added tests for this behavior
499 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
500 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
503 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
504 - added tests and docs for these
506 * Class::MOP::Attribute
507 - default now checks the instance with defined to
508 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
512 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
518 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
519 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
520 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
521 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
524 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
526 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
527 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
528 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
531 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
532 immutable transformation instead of
533 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
535 + Class::MOP::Immutable
536 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
537 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
538 be coming eventually.
541 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
543 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
544 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
548 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
551 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
553 - constructor generation is now handled by
554 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
556 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
557 - created this to handle constructor generation
558 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
560 * Class::MOP::Attribute
562 - attributes now delegate to the
563 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
566 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
567 - all accessor generation functions from
568 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
570 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

573 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
574 on this to come. Comments and patches are
578 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
579 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
580 they are aliased from the originals
581 - fixed tests to reflect
582 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
584 - adjusted tests for this
585 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
590 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
591 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
592 - adjusted tests to compensate
593 - adjusted docs for this
596 - changed how methods are dealt with to
597 encapsulate most of the work into the
598 &get_method_map method
599 - made several adjustments for the change
600 in Class::MOP::Method
601 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
602 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
603 old one before installing the new one
604 - added tests for this
605 - adjusted docs for this
607 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
608 - added caching of &get_method_map
609 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
610 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
612 * Class::MOP::Package
613 - added filtering capabilities to
614 &list_all_package_symbols
616 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
618 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
619 the $:version and such just actually goes
620 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
621 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
623 - The &create method now requires that all
624 but the package name now is passed in as
625 named parameters. See docs for more info.
626 - updated docs and tests for this
629 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
633 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
634 which do not store things in the instance
635 - added the %:methods attribute definition to
638 ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
640 0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
642 - moved the metaclass cache out of here
643 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
646 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
647 - fixed all tests for this
649 * Class::MOP::Attribute
650 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
651 are no longer allowed for defaults
652 - added tests for this
654 * Class::MOP::Package
655 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
656 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
657 always reloaded from the symbol table.
659 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
661 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
662 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
663 metamodel is more complete (and closer
664 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
666 * Class::MOP::Package
667 - refactored entire class, this is now
668 the primary gateway between the metaclass
669 and the Perl 5 symbol table
670 - added many tests for this
671 - this class is now a subclass of
673 - added some tests to reflect this
676 - refactored all symbol table access to
677 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
680 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
681 so that Module has a version as an attribute
682 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
683 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
684 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
685 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
686 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
687 - added tests for this

706 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
707 the value of the attribute for a particular
710 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
711 ---------------------------------------
712 This is the first version of Class::MOP
713 to introduce the immutable features which
714 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
715 This support should still be considered
716 experimental, but moving towards stability.
717 ---------------------------------------
719 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
721 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
722 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
723 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
726 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
727 - several methods moved to ::Module and
728 ::Package and now inherited
729 - added tests for this
731 * Class::MOP::Instance
732 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
733 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
734 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
735 instance creation (of course)
738 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
739 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
740 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
741 because they are now more general purpose symbol
742 table manipulation methods.
744 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
745 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
747 - small change in &create so that it behaves

764 * Class::MOP::Instance
765 - added new instance protocol
766 - added tests for this

802 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
803 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
804 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
805 delegates appropriately
807 * Class::MOP::Attribute
808 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
809 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
810 called initialize_instance_slot
813 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
814 initialize_instance_slot method
816 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

823 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
824 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)

828 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
830 - added tests for this
831 - adjusted all /example files to comply
833 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
835 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
836 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
837 - added test case for this
839 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
841 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
842 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
843 available in DESTORY calls
845 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
846 - removed the dependency for Clone since
847 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
850 - added &package_name, &name and
851 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
852 which were formerly private subs in
855 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
856 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
857 before, after and around modifiers
858 - added tests and docs for this feature
861 - improved &get_package_symbol
862 - &version and &superclasses now use it
863 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
865 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
866 - &add_before_method_modifier
867 - &add_after_method_modifier
868 - &add_around_method_modifier
869 - added tests and docs for these
870 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
871 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
873 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
874 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
878 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
879 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
880 the test skip if it is not installed
882 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
884 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
887 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
888 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
889 - added docs and tests
891 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
892 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
893 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
894 be considered "ready to use".
896 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
897 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
898 - test coverage is now at 99%
901 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
902 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
903 metaclass pragma instead.
906 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
907 error/edge-case tests
909 * Class::MOP::Attribute
910 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
911 error/edge-case tests
914 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
916 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
918 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
919 metaclass a little more straightforward
922 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
923 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
924 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
925 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
929 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
930 is now more useful for subclasses
931 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
932 hash of attribute meta objects
933 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
934 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
935 since all the same info can be gotten from the
936 attribute meta-object itself
937 - updated docs & tests to reflect
938 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
939 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
940 - added docs & tests for this
941 - added Clone as a dependency
942 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
943 return blessed new or cloned instances
944 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
945 - added docs & tests for this
946 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
947 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
948 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
949 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
950 - added tests and docs for this
953 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
955 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
957 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
959 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
960 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
961 attributes/methods respectively
964 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
967 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
968 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
972 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
974 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
976 * Class::MOP::Attribute

992 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
993 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
994 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
995 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
