1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * Replace use of Test::Exception with Test::Fatal
9 * Lots of fixes for edge cases with anon classes. (doy)
15 * It's now possible to tell Class::MOP::Class->create and the metaclass
16 pragma to not install a 'meta' method into classes they manipulate,
17 or to install one under a different name. (doy)
19 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
20 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
21 reinitialized metaclass). (doy)
23 * All 'meta' methods created by Class::MOP are now of the class
24 Class::MOP::Method::Meta. This is overridable at the metaclass layer. (doy)
28 * Use get_or_add_package_symbol when we intend for it to autovivify, in
29 preparation for changes in Package::Stash. (doy)
31 * We now use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to force authors to run all
32 tests, just like we do for Moose. (sartak)
34 1.08 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
38 * The get_method_list and _get_local_methods methods blew up in the face
39 of subroutine stubs. (Goro Fuji)
41 1.07 Tue, Aug 25, 2010
45 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
46 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
47 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
50 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
54 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
55 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
56 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
59 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
63 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
64 for inlined code (doy).
66 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
68 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
72 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
73 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
74 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
75 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
76 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
83 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
85 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
89 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
90 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
94 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
96 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
97 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
98 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
100 1.01 Thu, May 6, 2010
104 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
105 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
109 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
110 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
111 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
113 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
115 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
117 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
119 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
123 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
125 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
129 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
130 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
132 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
136 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
137 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
139 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
140 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
142 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
144 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
145 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
146 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
148 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
150 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
152 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
153 modules (nothingmuch).
155 * Class::MOP::Package
156 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
160 * Class::MOP::Package
161 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
162 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
163 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
166 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
167 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
170 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
171 * Class::MOP::Attribute
172 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
173 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
174 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
175 attributes. (nothingmuch)
177 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
179 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
180 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
181 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
182 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
183 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
186 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
187 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
189 * Class::MOP::Package
190 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
191 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
193 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
194 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
195 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
197 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
198 * Class::MOP::Package
199 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
202 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
205 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
206 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
207 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
210 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
211 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
213 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
215 * Class::MOP::Package
216 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
219 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
220 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
222 * Class::MOP::Attribute
224 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
227 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
228 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
229 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
230 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
233 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
234 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
235 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
236 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
237 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
238 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
242 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
243 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
247 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
248 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
249 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
253 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
254 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
257 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
258 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
259 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
263 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
264 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
265 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
266 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
267 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
270 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
271 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
273 * Class::MOP::Instance
274 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
275 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
277 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
279 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
281 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
284 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
286 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
287 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
290 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
291 changed back in 0.82_01)
292 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
293 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
296 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
297 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
299 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
301 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
302 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
303 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
306 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
307 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
310 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
311 * Class::MOP::Attribute
312 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
314 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
315 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
316 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
319 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
322 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
323 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
324 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
325 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
326 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
329 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
332 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
334 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
338 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
339 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
340 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
341 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
345 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
348 * Class::MOP::Package
349 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
352 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
355 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
357 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
360 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
361 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
362 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
363 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
366 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
367 was removed in 0.82_01.
369 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
370 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
371 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
372 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
373 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
374 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
375 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
376 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
377 for the Moose compatibility handling code
378 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
380 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
382 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
383 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
385 * Class::MOP::Immutable
386 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
387 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
388 provides its own constructor (doy)
390 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
393 * Class::MOP::Instance
394 * Class::MOP::Attribute
395 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
396 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
397 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
398 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
401 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
402 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
404 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
406 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
407 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
409 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
410 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
411 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
412 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
413 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
416 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
417 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
418 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
419 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
420 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
421 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
422 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
424 - Class::MOP::Instance
425 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
429 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
430 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
431 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
433 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
434 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
435 when an object is constructed)
436 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
438 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
439 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
440 when an object is constructed)
441 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
442 - attributes => _attributes
443 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
445 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
447 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
448 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
449 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
452 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
453 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
454 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
457 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
458 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
459 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
460 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
464 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
465 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
466 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
467 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
468 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
469 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
471 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
472 * No changes from 0.78_02.
474 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
476 * Class::MOP::Immutable
477 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
478 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
479 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
480 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
484 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
485 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
488 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
489 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
490 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
492 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
494 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
495 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
498 * Class::MOP::Instance
499 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
500 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
501 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
502 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
504 * Class::MOP::Attribute
505 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
506 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
507 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
509 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
510 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
511 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
515 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
516 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
517 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
518 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
520 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
521 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
522 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
523 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
524 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
525 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
526 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
527 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
528 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
531 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
532 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
535 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
537 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
538 * No changes from 0.77_01
540 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
542 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
543 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
544 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
545 against the pure Perl version of this code.
547 * Class::MOP::Instance
548 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
549 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
552 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
554 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
558 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
559 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
563 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
564 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
566 * Class::MOP::Package
567 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
568 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
571 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
575 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
576 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
577 near future release. You've been warned.
579 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
580 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
581 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
582 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
584 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
585 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
588 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
589 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
592 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
595 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
596 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
598 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
600 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
601 sharing an immutable transformer object
602 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
603 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
605 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
607 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
608 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
609 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
610 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
612 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
613 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
615 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
617 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
618 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
620 * t/082_get_code_info.t
621 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
622 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
623 succeed in that case.
625 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
626 * Class::MOP::Package
627 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
630 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
631 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
633 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
634 * Class::MOP::Immutable
635 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
636 the constructor was inlined.
637 * Class::MOP::Package
638 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
639 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
640 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
642 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
643 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
645 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
647 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
648 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
649 * Class::MOP::Immutable
650 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
651 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
652 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
655 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
656 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
657 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
658 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
659 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
660 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
661 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
662 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
663 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
664 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
666 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
669 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
670 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
673 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
675 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
676 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
678 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
680 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
681 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
682 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
685 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
686 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
687 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
690 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
692 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
693 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
695 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
696 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
697 times in an eval. (t0m)
699 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
701 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
702 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
703 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
704 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
705 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
706 - added test for this
708 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
709 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
710 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
713 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
714 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
718 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
719 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
720 aliased methods and "real" methods.
722 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
723 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
724 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
725 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
728 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
729 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
732 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
733 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
734 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
735 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
736 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
737 for sad systems without a compiler.
740 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
741 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
744 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
745 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
746 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
748 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
750 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
751 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
752 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
753 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
755 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
756 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
757 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
758 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
760 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
762 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
763 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
766 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
767 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
768 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
770 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
772 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
774 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
775 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
776 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
778 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
779 * Class::MOP::Package
780 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
781 releases. (nothingmuch)
784 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
786 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
787 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
788 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
791 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
794 * Class::MOP::Instance
795 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
797 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
799 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
800 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
801 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
802 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
805 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
806 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
810 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
811 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
812 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
813 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
814 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
817 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
818 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
819 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
822 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
823 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
824 consistency (nothingmuch)
825 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
827 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
828 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
829 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
830 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
833 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
834 * Class::MOP::Immutable
835 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
837 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
839 * Class::MOP::Instance
840 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
841 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
843 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
845 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
846 the class is already loaded (sartak)
847 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
848 instead of just 1 (sartak)
851 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
853 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
854 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
855 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
857 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
858 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
859 recognizes it correct this time.
861 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
862 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
865 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
866 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
869 - now stores the instance of the instance
870 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
871 and deletes it when the cache is blown
872 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
873 the options used to make it immutable as well as
874 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
876 * Class::MOP::Package
877 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
878 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
879 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
883 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
885 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
886 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
888 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
889 names now throw a more direct error in
891 - tests for this and other aspects of
897 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
898 Class::MOP::Attribute
899 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
902 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
903 (late night release engineering)--
905 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
906 changes in this release
908 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
909 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
910 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
913 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
914 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
915 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
918 * Class::MOP::Package
919 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
921 - inlining a few calls to &name with
922 direct HASH access key access
923 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
924 a HASH of items based on a type filter
925 similar to list_all_package_symbols
926 - added tests for this
929 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
930 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
931 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
932 - added more descriptive error message to help
933 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
934 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
936 * Class::MOP::Immutable
937 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
939 - added tests for this
941 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
943 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
944 function from MRO::Compat
945 - All XS based functionality now has a
946 Pure Perl alternative
947 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
948 can now be used to force non-XS versions
951 * Class::MOP::Attribute

953 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
954 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
956 - added tests for this
958 * Class::MOP::Immutable
959 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
960 making the class immutable
963 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
964 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
965 allow for it to work.
966 - added tests for this
968 * Class::MOP::Attribute
970 Class::MOP::Immutable
971 - any time a method meta object is constructed
972 we make sure to pass the correct package and
973 method name information
976 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
977 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
978 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
979 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
980 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
981 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
982 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
983 throw an error if these are not supplied.
984 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
985 and now store the package_name and name attributes
988 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
989 Module::Install support has been removed
991 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
992 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
993 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
994 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
998 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
999 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
1001 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
1002 when it has no init_arg
1003 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
1004 to support c3 classes.
1006 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
1009 - making sure that load_class never gets
1010 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
1011 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
1014 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
1015 (cause Sartak asked)
1016 - improved error handling in ->create method
1017 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
1018 will be used to populate values
1019 - added tests for this
1021 * Class::MOP::Object
1022 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
1023 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
1029 Class::MOP::Attribute
1030 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
1031 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1033 * Class::MOP::Instance
1034 Class::MOP::Immutable
1035 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1038 - fixed the filename length on several
1039 test files so we install on VMS better
1041 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1042 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1044 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1045 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1048 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1049 Class::MOP::Attribute
1050 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1051 to indicate that no constructor args can
1052 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1053 - added tests for this
1054 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1057 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1058 feature instead of the silly hack from
1059 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1061 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1063 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1066 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1067 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1070 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1071 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1072 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1075 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1076 constant so that we can take advantage
1077 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1080 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1081 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1082 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1083 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1084 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1085 - added tests for this
1087 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1088 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1089 the transformer which immutablized it
1091 * Class::MOP::Instance
1092 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1093 - added tests for this
1095 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1097 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1098 transformation arguments are saved
1100 - added tests for this
1102 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1103 - fixed a bug (see above)
1105 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1108 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1109 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1110 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1113 - removed the dependency on B
1114 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1115 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1116 the B fiddling we were doing with
1117 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1118 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1119 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1120 be used to help manage method caching.
1123 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1124 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1125 even more accurate caching information.
1126 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1129 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1130 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1131 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1132 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1134 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1135 of the new method map caching features
1137 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1138 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1139 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1140 HASH ref case, which makes the
1141 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1142 - added more tests for this
1144 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1145 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1146 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1147 - added more tests for this
1149 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1151 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1152 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1153 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1155 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1156 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1157 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1158 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1160 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1161 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1162 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1164 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1167 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1169 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1172 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1173 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1174 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1175 call through (groditi)
1177 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1178 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1179 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1180 it is defined (groditi)
1182 * Class::MOP::Instance
1183 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1184 it is defined (groditi)
1186 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1187 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1188 - removed the relevant attributes
1190 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1191 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1192 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1193 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1195 - added tests for this
1196 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1197 non-inlined constructors.
1198 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1200 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1201 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1202 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1203 - added tests for this
1206 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1207 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1210 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1212 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1213 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1215 * Class::MOP::Package
1216 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1219 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1221 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1223 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1224 it manually now so that people can use this
1225 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1227 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1229 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1230 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1231 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1234 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1235 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1236 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1237 - removed unused variable
1238 - added create_immutable_transformer
1239 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1240 - tests for this (groditi)
1243 - Immutability can now be undone,
1244 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1245 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1246 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1247 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1248 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1249 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1250 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1251 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1252 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1254 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1255 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1257 * Class::MOP::Package
1258 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1260 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1262 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1263 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1264 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1266 - added tests and POD for this
1269 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1270 handles undef values correctly.
1271 - added tests for this
1272 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1273 will not get reaped when instances still
1274 exist which need to reference them. This is
1275 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1276 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1277 many work arounds out in the wild.
1278 - added tests for this by groditi
1279 - updated docs to explain this
1282 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1283 - added tests for this behavior
1285 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1286 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1289 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1290 - added tests and docs for these
1292 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1293 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1294 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1298 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1303 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1304 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1305 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1306 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1307 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1310 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1312 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1313 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1314 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1317 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1318 immutable transformation instead of
1319 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1321 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1322 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1323 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1324 be coming eventually.
1327 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1329 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1330 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1334 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1337 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1339 - constructor generation is now handled by
1340 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1342 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1343 - created this to handle constructor generation
1344 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1346 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1348 - attributes now delegate to the
1349 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1352 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1353 - all accessor generation functions from
1354 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1356 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1358 * scripts/class_browser.pl
1359 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1360 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1364 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1365 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1366 they are aliased from the originals
1367 - fixed tests to reflect
1368 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1370 - adjusted tests for this
1371 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1374 * Class::MOP::Method
1376 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1377 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1378 - adjusted tests to compensate
1379 - adjusted docs for this
1382 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1383 encapsulate most of the work into the
1384 &get_method_map method
1385 - made several adjustments for the change
1386 in Class::MOP::Method
1387 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1388 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1389 old one before installing the new one
1390 - added tests for this
1391 - adjusted docs for this
1393 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1394 - added caching of &get_method_map
1395 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1396 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1399 - added filtering capabilities to
1400 &list_all_package_symbols
1402 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1404 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1405 the $:version and such just actually goes
1406 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1407 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1409 - The &create method now requires that all
1410 but the package name now is passed in as
1411 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1412 - updated docs and tests for this
1414 * Class::MOP::Object
1415 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1419 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes

1436 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1437 are no longer allowed for defaults
1438 - added tests for this
1440 * Class::MOP::Package
1441 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1442 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1443 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1445 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1447 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1448 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1449 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1450 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1452 * Class::MOP::Package
1453 - refactored entire class, this is now
1454 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1455 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1456 - added many tests for this
1457 - this class is now a subclass of
1459 - added some tests to reflect this
1462 - refactored all symbol table access to
1463 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1465 * Class::MOP::Module
1466 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1467 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1468 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1469 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1470 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1471 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1472 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1473 - added tests for this
1475 * Class::MOP::Instance
1476 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
1478 - added tests for this
1480 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1481 - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
1482 slots from an instance
1483 - added tests for this
1485 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
1488 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1489 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1491 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1492 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1493 the value of the attribute for a particular
1496 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1497 ---------------------------------------
1498 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1499 to introduce the immutable features which
1500 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1501 This support should still be considered
1502 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1503 ---------------------------------------
1505 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1507 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1508 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1509 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1512 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1513 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1514 ::Package and now inherited
1515 - added tests for this
1517 * Class::MOP::Instance
1518 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1519 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1520 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1521 instance creation (of course)
1524 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1525 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1526 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1527 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1528 table manipulation methods.
1530 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1531 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1533 - small change in &create so that it behaves

1537 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1538 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1539 - This release works in combination with
1540 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1541 because it introduces a new instance
1542 sub-protocol and has not yet been

1589 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1590 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1591 delegates appropriately
1593 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1594 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1595 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1596 called initialize_instance_slot

1600 initialize_instance_slot method
1602 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1623 - added test case for this
1625 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1627 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1628 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1629 available in DESTORY calls
1631 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006

1643 before, after and around modifiers
1644 - added tests and docs for this feature

1673 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1674 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1675 - added docs and tests
1677 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1678 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1679 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1680 be considered "ready to use".
1682 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1683 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1684 - test coverage is now at 99%
1687 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1688 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the

1702 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1704 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1705 metaclass a little more straightforward
1708 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1709 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1710 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1711 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1715 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1716 is now more useful for subclasses
1717 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1718 hash of attribute meta objects
1719 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1720 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1721 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1722 attribute meta-object itself
1723 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1724 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1725 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1735 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1736 - added tests and docs for this

1746 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1747 attributes/methods respectively
1750 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1753 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1754 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class

1785 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1786 - adding POD documentation to the examples
