1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 - added new instance protocol
7 - changed all relevant modules and examples
9 - Class::MOP::Attribute
13 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
14 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
16 - updated tests for this
19 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
20 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
22 - added tests for this
23 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
25 - added more tests for this
27 0.26 Mon. April 24, 2006
29 - added find_attribute_by_name method
30 - added tests and docs for this
31 - some small optimizations
33 * Class::MOP::Attribute
34 - some small optimizations
36 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
38 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
39 - added tests for this
40 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
41 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
42 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
43 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
44 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
45 delegates appropriately
47 * Class::MOP::Attribute
48 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
49 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
50 called initialize_instance_slot
53 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
54 initialize_instance_slot method
56 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
58 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
59 modifiers get named with Sub::Name
61 0.23 Thurs. March 30, 2006
63 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
64 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
66 * Class::MOP::Attribute
67 - read-only accessors ('reader') will now die if
68 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
70 - added tests for this
71 - adjusted all /example files to comply
73 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
75 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
76 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
77 - added test case for this
79 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
81 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
82 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
83 available in DESTORY calls
85 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
86 - removed the dependency for Clone since
87 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
90 - added &package_name, &name and
91 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
92 which were formerly private subs in
95 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
96 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
97 before, after and around modifiers
98 - added tests and docs for this feature
101 - improved &get_package_variable
102 - &version and &superclasses now use it
103 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
105 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
106 - &add_before_method_modifier
107 - &add_after_method_modifier
108 - &add_around_method_modifier
109 - added tests and docs for these
110 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
111 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
113 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
114 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
118 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
119 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
120 the test skip if it is not installed
122 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
124 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
127 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
128 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
129 - added docs and tests
131 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
132 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
133 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
134 be considered "ready to use".
136 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
137 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
138 - test coverage is now at 99%
141 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
142 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
143 metaclass pragma instead.
146 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
147 error/edge-case tests
149 * Class::MOP::Attribute
150 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
151 error/edge-case tests
154 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
156 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
158 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
159 metaclass a little more straightforward
162 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
163 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
164 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
165 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
169 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
170 is now more useful for subclasses
171 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
172 hash of attribute meta objects
173 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
174 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
175 since all the same info can be gotten from the
176 attribute meta-object itself
177 - updated docs & tests to reflect
178 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
179 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
180 - added docs & tests for this
181 - added Clone as a dependency
182 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
183 return blessed new or cloned instances
184 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
185 - added docs & tests for this
186 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
187 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
188 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
189 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
190 - added tests and docs for this
193 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
195 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
197 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
199 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
200 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
201 attributes/methods respectively
204 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
207 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
208 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
212 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
214 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
216 * Class::MOP::Attribute
217 - improved error messages
220 - added new examples:
221 - AttributesWithHistory
222 - ClassEncapsultedAttributes
224 0.03 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
225 - converted to Module::Build instead of EU::MM
227 * Class::MOP::Attribute
228 - refactored method generation code
229 - attributes are now associated with class directly
232 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
233 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
234 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
235 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
236 namespaces really, they are just examples)
238 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
239 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
240 - adding POD documentation to the examples
242 0.01 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
