4 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
6 - small change in &create so that it behaves
7 properly when inherited
8 - small fix to &clone_instance
10 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
11 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
12 - This release works in combination with
13 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
14 because it introduces a new instance
15 sub-protocol and has not yet been
19 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
20 - added tests for this
21 - improved method modifier wrapping
23 * Class::MOP::Instance
24 - added new instance protocol
25 - added tests for this
26 - changed all relevant modules and examples
28 - Class::MOP::Attribute
32 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
33 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
35 - updated tests for this
38 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
39 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
41 - added tests for this
42 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
44 - added more tests for this
46 0.26 Mon. April 24, 2006
48 - added find_attribute_by_name method
49 - added tests and docs for this
50 - some small optimizations
52 * Class::MOP::Attribute
53 - some small optimizations
55 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
57 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
58 - added tests for this
59 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
60 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
61 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
62 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
63 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
64 delegates appropriately
66 * Class::MOP::Attribute
67 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
68 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
69 called initialize_instance_slot
72 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
73 initialize_instance_slot method
75 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
77 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
78 modifiers get named with Sub::Name
80 0.23 Thurs. March 30, 2006
82 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
83 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
85 * Class::MOP::Attribute
86 - read-only accessors ('reader') will now die if
87 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
89 - added tests for this
90 - adjusted all /example files to comply
92 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
94 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
95 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
96 - added test case for this
98 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
100 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
101 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
102 available in DESTORY calls
104 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
105 - removed the dependency for Clone since
106 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
109 - added &package_name, &name and
110 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
111 which were formerly private subs in
114 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
115 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
116 before, after and around modifiers
117 - added tests and docs for this feature
120 - improved &get_package_variable
121 - &version and &superclasses now use it
122 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
124 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
125 - &add_before_method_modifier
126 - &add_after_method_modifier
127 - &add_around_method_modifier
128 - added tests and docs for these
129 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
130 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
132 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
133 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
137 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
138 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
139 the test skip if it is not installed
141 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
143 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
146 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
147 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
148 - added docs and tests
150 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
151 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
152 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
153 be considered "ready to use".
155 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
156 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
157 - test coverage is now at 99%
160 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
161 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
162 metaclass pragma instead.
165 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
166 error/edge-case tests
168 * Class::MOP::Attribute
169 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
170 error/edge-case tests
173 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
175 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
177 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
178 metaclass a little more straightforward
181 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
182 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
183 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
184 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
188 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
189 is now more useful for subclasses
190 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
191 hash of attribute meta objects
192 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
193 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
194 since all the same info can be gotten from the
195 attribute meta-object itself
196 - updated docs & tests to reflect
197 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
198 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
199 - added docs & tests for this
200 - added Clone as a dependency
201 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
202 return blessed new or cloned instances
203 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
204 - added docs & tests for this
205 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
206 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
207 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
208 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
209 - added tests and docs for this
212 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
214 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
216 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
218 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
219 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
220 attributes/methods respectively
223 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
226 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
227 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
231 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
233 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
235 * Class::MOP::Attribute
236 - improved error messages
239 - added new examples:
240 - AttributesWithHistory
241 - ClassEncapsultedAttributes
243 0.03 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
244 - converted to Module::Build instead of EU::MM
246 * Class::MOP::Attribute
247 - refactored method generation code
248 - attributes are now associated with class directly
251 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
252 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
253 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
254 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
255 namespaces really, they are just examples)
257 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
258 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
259 - adding POD documentation to the examples
261 0.01 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
