1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * It's now possible to tell Class::MOP::Class->create and the metaclass
6 pragma to not install a 'meta' method into classes they manipulate. (doy)
10 * Use get_or_add_package_symbol when we intend for it to autovivify, in
11 preparation for changes in Package::Stash. (doy)
13 1.08 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
17 * The get_method_list and _get_local_methods methods blew up in the face
18 of subroutine stubs. (Goro Fuji)
20 1.07 Tue, Aug 25, 2010
24 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
25 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
26 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
29 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
33 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
34 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
35 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
38 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
42 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
43 for inlined code (doy).
45 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
47 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
51 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
52 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
53 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
54 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
55 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
62 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
64 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
68 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
69 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
73 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
75 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
76 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
77 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
83 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
84 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
88 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
89 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
90 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
92 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
94 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
96 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
98 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
102 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
104 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
108 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
109 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
111 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
115 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
116 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
118 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
119 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
121 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
123 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
124 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
125 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
127 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
129 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
131 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
132 modules (nothingmuch).
134 * Class::MOP::Package
135 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
139 * Class::MOP::Package
140 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
141 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
142 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
145 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
146 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
149 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
150 * Class::MOP::Attribute
151 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
152 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
153 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
154 attributes. (nothingmuch)
156 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
158 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
159 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
160 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
161 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
162 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
164 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
165 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
166 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
168 * Class::MOP::Package
169 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
170 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
172 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
173 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
174 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
176 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
177 * Class::MOP::Package
178 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
181 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
184 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
185 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
186 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
189 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
190 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
192 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
194 * Class::MOP::Package
195 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
198 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
199 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
201 * Class::MOP::Attribute
203 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
206 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
207 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
208 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
209 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
212 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
213 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
214 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
215 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
216 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
217 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
221 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
222 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
226 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
227 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
228 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
232 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
233 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
236 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
237 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
238 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
242 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
243 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
244 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
245 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
246 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
249 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
250 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
252 * Class::MOP::Instance
253 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
254 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
256 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
258 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
260 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
263 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
265 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
266 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
269 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
270 changed back in 0.82_01)
271 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
272 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
275 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
276 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
278 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
280 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
281 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
282 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
285 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
286 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
289 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
290 * Class::MOP::Attribute
291 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
293 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
294 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
295 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
298 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
301 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
302 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
303 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
304 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
305 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
308 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
311 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
313 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
317 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
318 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
319 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
320 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
324 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
327 * Class::MOP::Package
328 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
331 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
334 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
336 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
339 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
340 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
341 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
342 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
345 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
346 was removed in 0.82_01.
348 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
349 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
350 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
351 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
352 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
353 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
354 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
355 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
356 for the Moose compatibility handling code
357 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
359 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
361 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
362 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
364 * Class::MOP::Immutable
365 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
366 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
367 provides its own constructor (doy)
369 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
372 * Class::MOP::Instance
373 * Class::MOP::Attribute
374 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
375 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
376 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
377 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
380 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
381 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
383 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
385 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
386 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
388 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
389 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
390 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
391 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
392 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
395 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
396 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
397 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
398 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
399 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
400 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
401 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
403 - Class::MOP::Instance
404 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
408 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
409 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
410 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
412 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
413 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
414 when an object is constructed)
415 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
417 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
418 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
419 when an object is constructed)
420 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
421 - attributes => _attributes
422 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
424 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
426 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
427 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
428 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
431 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
432 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
433 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
436 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
437 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
438 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
439 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
443 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
444 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
445 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
446 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
447 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
448 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
450 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
451 * No changes from 0.78_02.
453 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
455 * Class::MOP::Immutable
456 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
457 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
458 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
459 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
463 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
464 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
467 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
468 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
469 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
471 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
473 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
474 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
477 * Class::MOP::Instance
478 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
479 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
480 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
481 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
483 * Class::MOP::Attribute
484 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
485 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
486 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
488 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
489 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
490 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
494 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
495 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
496 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
497 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
499 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
500 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
501 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
502 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
503 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
504 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
505 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
506 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
507 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
510 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
511 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
514 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
516 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
517 * No changes from 0.77_01
519 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
521 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
522 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
523 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
524 against the pure Perl version of this code.
526 * Class::MOP::Instance
527 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
528 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
531 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
533 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
537 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
538 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
542 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
543 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
545 * Class::MOP::Package
546 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
547 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
550 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
554 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
555 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
556 near future release. You've been warned.
558 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
559 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
560 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
561 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
563 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
564 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
567 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
568 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
571 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
574 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
575 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
577 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
579 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
580 sharing an immutable transformer object
581 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
582 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
584 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
586 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
587 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
588 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
589 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
591 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
592 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
594 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
596 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
597 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
599 * t/082_get_code_info.t
600 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
601 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
602 succeed in that case.
604 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
605 * Class::MOP::Package
606 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
609 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
610 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
612 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
613 * Class::MOP::Immutable
614 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
615 the constructor was inlined.
616 * Class::MOP::Package
617 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
618 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
619 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
621 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
622 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
624 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
626 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
627 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
628 * Class::MOP::Immutable
629 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
630 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
631 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
634 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
635 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
636 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
637 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
638 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
639 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
640 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
641 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
642 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
643 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
645 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
648 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
649 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
652 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
654 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
655 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
657 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
659 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
660 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
661 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
664 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
665 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
666 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
669 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
671 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
672 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
674 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
675 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
676 times in an eval. (t0m)
678 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
680 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
681 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
682 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
683 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
684 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
685 - added test for this
687 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
688 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
689 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
692 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
693 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
697 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
698 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
699 aliased methods and "real" methods.
701 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
702 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
703 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
704 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
707 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
708 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
711 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
712 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
713 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
714 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
715 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
716 for sad systems without a compiler.
719 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
720 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
723 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
724 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
725 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
727 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
729 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
730 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
731 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
732 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
734 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
735 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
736 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
737 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
739 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
741 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
742 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
745 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
746 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
747 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
749 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
751 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
753 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
754 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
755 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
757 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
758 * Class::MOP::Package
759 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
760 releases. (nothingmuch)
763 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
765 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
766 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
767 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
770 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
773 * Class::MOP::Instance
774 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
776 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
778 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
779 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
780 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
781 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
784 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
785 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
789 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
790 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
791 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
792 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
793 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
796 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
797 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
798 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
801 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
802 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
803 consistency (nothingmuch)
804 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
806 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
807 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
808 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
809 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
812 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
813 * Class::MOP::Immutable
814 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
816 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
818 * Class::MOP::Instance
819 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
820 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
822 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
824 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
825 the class is already loaded (sartak)
826 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
827 instead of just 1 (sartak)
830 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
832 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
833 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
834 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
836 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
837 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
838 recognizes it correct this time.
840 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
841 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
844 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
845 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
848 - now stores the instance of the instance
849 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
850 and deletes it when the cache is blown
851 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
852 the options used to make it immutable as well as
853 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
855 * Class::MOP::Package
856 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
857 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
858 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
862 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
864 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
865 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
867 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
868 names now throw a more direct error in
870 - tests for this and other aspects of
876 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
877 Class::MOP::Attribute
878 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
881 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
882 (late night release engineering)--
884 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
885 changes in this release
887 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
888 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
889 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
892 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
893 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
894 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
897 * Class::MOP::Package
898 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
900 - inlining a few calls to &name with
901 direct HASH access key access
902 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
903 a HASH of items based on a type filter
904 similar to list_all_package_symbols
905 - added tests for this
908 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
909 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
910 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
911 - added more descriptive error message to help
912 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
913 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
915 * Class::MOP::Immutable
916 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
918 - added tests for this
920 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
922 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
923 function from MRO::Compat
924 - All XS based functionality now has a
925 Pure Perl alternative
926 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
927 can now be used to force non-XS versions

932 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
933 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
935 - added tests for this
937 * Class::MOP::Immutable
938 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
939 making the class immutable
942 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
943 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
944 allow for it to work.
945 - added tests for this
947 * Class::MOP::Attribute
949 Class::MOP::Immutable
950 - any time a method meta object is constructed
951 we make sure to pass the correct package and
952 method name information
955 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
956 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
957 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
958 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
959 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
960 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
961 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
962 throw an error if these are not supplied.
963 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
964 and now store the package_name and name attributes
967 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
968 Module::Install support has been removed
970 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
971 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
972 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
973 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
977 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
978 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
980 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
981 when it has no init_arg
982 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
983 to support c3 classes.
985 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
988 - making sure that load_class never gets
989 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
990 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
993 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
995 - improved error handling in ->create method
996 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
997 will be used to populate values
998 - added tests for this
1000 * Class::MOP::Object
1001 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
1002 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
1008 Class::MOP::Attribute
1009 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
1010 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1012 * Class::MOP::Instance
1013 Class::MOP::Immutable
1014 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1017 - fixed the filename length on several
1018 test files so we install on VMS better
1020 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1021 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1023 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1024 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1027 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1028 Class::MOP::Attribute
1029 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1030 to indicate that no constructor args can
1031 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1032 - added tests for this
1033 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1036 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1037 feature instead of the silly hack from
1038 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1040 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1042 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1045 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1046 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1049 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1050 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1051 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1054 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1055 constant so that we can take advantage
1056 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1059 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1060 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1061 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1062 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1063 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1064 - added tests for this
1066 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1067 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1068 the transformer which immutablized it
1070 * Class::MOP::Instance
1071 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1072 - added tests for this
1074 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1076 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1077 transformation arguments are saved
1079 - added tests for this
1081 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1082 - fixed a bug (see above)
1084 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1087 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1088 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1089 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1092 - removed the dependency on B
1093 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1094 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1095 the B fiddling we were doing with
1096 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1097 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1098 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1099 be used to help manage method caching.
1102 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1103 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1104 even more accurate caching information.
1105 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1108 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1109 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1110 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1111 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1113 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1114 of the new method map caching features
1116 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1117 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1118 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1119 HASH ref case, which makes the
1120 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1121 - added more tests for this
1123 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1124 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1125 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1126 - added more tests for this
1128 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1130 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1131 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1132 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1134 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1135 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1136 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1137 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1139 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1140 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1141 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1143 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1144 - Apparently I didn't make dist correctly (groditi)
1146 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1148 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1151 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1152 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1153 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1154 call through (groditi)
1156 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1157 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1158 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1159 it is defined (groditi)
1161 * Class::MOP::Instance
1162 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1163 it is defined (groditi)
1165 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1166 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1167 - removed the relevant attributes
1169 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1170 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1171 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1172 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1174 - added tests for this
1175 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1176 non-inlined constructors.
1177 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1179 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1180 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1181 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1182 - added tests for this
1185 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1186 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1189 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1191 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1192 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1194 * Class::MOP::Package
1195 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1198 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1200 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1202 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1203 it manually now so that people can use this
1204 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1206 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1208 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1209 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1210 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1213 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1214 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1215 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1216 - removed unused variable
1217 - added create_immutable_transformer
1218 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1219 - tests for this (groditi)
1222 - Immutability can now be undone,
1223 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1224 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1225 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1226 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1227 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1228 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1229 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1230 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1231 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1233 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1234 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1236 * Class::MOP::Package
1237 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1238 - added tests for this
1239 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1241 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1242 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1243 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1245 - added tests and POD for this
1248 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1249 handles undef values correctly.
1250 - added tests for this
1251 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1252 will not get reaped when instances still
1253 exist which need to reference them. This is
1254 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1255 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1256 many work arounds out in the wild.
1257 - added tests for this by groditi
1258 - updated docs to explain this
1261 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1262 - added tests for this behavior
1264 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1265 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1268 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1269 - added tests and docs for these
1271 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1272 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1273 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1277 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1282 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1283 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1284 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1285 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1286 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1289 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1291 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1292 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1293 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1296 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1297 immutable transformation instead of
1298 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1300 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1301 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1302 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1303 be coming eventually.
1306 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1308 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1309 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1313 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1316 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1318 - constructor generation is now handled by
1319 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1321 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1322 - created this to handle constructor generation
1323 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1325 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1327 - attributes now delegate to the
1328 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1331 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1332 - all accessor generation functions from
1333 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1335 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1337 * scripts/class_browser.pl
1338 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1339 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1343 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1344 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1345 they are aliased from the originals
1346 - fixed tests to reflect
1347 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1349 - adjusted tests for this
1350 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1353 * Class::MOP::Method
1355 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1356 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1357 - adjusted tests to compensate
1358 - adjusted docs for this
1361 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1362 encapsulate most of the work into the
1363 &get_method_map method
1364 - made several adjustments for the change
1365 in Class::MOP::Method
1366 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1367 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1368 old one before installing the new one
1369 - added tests for this
1370 - adjusted docs for this
1372 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1373 - added caching of &get_method_map
1374 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1375 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
1377 * Class::MOP::Package
1378 - added filtering capabilities to
1379 &list_all_package_symbols
1381 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1383 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1384 the $:version and such just actually goes
1385 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1386 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1388 - The &create method now requires that all
1389 but the package name now is passed in as
1390 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1391 - updated docs and tests for this
1393 * Class::MOP::Object
1394 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1398 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes

1408 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
1411 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
1412 - fixed all tests for this
1414 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1415 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1416 are no longer allowed for defaults
1417 - added tests for this
1419 * Class::MOP::Package
1420 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1421 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1422 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1424 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1426 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1427 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1428 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1429 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1431 * Class::MOP::Package
1432 - refactored entire class, this is now
1433 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1434 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1435 - added many tests for this
1436 - this class is now a subclass of
1438 - added some tests to reflect this
1441 - refactored all symbol table access to
1442 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1444 * Class::MOP::Module
1445 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1446 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1447 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1448 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1449 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1450 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1451 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1452 - added tests for this
1454 * Class::MOP::Instance
1455 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
1457 - added tests for this
1459 * Class::MOP::Attribute

1461 slots from an instance
1462 - added tests for this
1464 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006

1468 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1470 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1471 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1472 the value of the attribute for a particular
1475 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1476 ---------------------------------------
1477 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1478 to introduce the immutable features which
1479 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1480 This support should still be considered
1481 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1482 ---------------------------------------
1484 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1486 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1487 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1488 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1491 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1492 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1493 ::Package and now inherited
1494 - added tests for this
1496 * Class::MOP::Instance
1497 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1498 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1499 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1500 instance creation (of course)
1503 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1504 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1505 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1506 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1507 table manipulation methods.
1509 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1510 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++

1516 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1517 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1518 - This release works in combination with
1519 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1520 because it introduces a new instance
1521 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1525 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected

1568 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1569 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1570 delegates appropriately
1572 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1573 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1574 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1575 called initialize_instance_slot

1579 initialize_instance_slot method
1581 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1604 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1606 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from

1622 before, after and around modifiers
1623 - added tests and docs for this feature

1653 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1654 - added docs and tests
1656 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1657 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1658 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1659 be considered "ready to use".
1661 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1662 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1663 - test coverage is now at 99%
1666 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1667 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the

1681 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1683 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1684 metaclass a little more straightforward
1687 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1688 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1689 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1690 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1694 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1695 is now more useful for subclasses
1696 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1697 hash of attribute meta objects
1698 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1699 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1700 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1701 attribute meta-object itself
1702 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1703 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1704 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1714 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1715 - added tests and docs for this

1732 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1733 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class

1764 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1765 - adding POD documentation to the examples
