1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
7 * The get_method_list and _get_local_methods methods blew up in the face
8 of subroutine stubs. (Goro Fuji)
10 1.07 Tue, Aug 25, 2010
14 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
15 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
16 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
19 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
23 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
24 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
25 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
28 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
32 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
33 for inlined code (doy).
35 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
37 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
41 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
42 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
43 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
44 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
45 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
52 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
54 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
58 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
59 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
63 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
65 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
66 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
67 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
73 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
74 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
78 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
79 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
80 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
82 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
84 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
86 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
88 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
92 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
94 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
98 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
99 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
101 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
105 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
106 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
108 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
109 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
111 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
113 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
114 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
115 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
117 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
119 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
121 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
122 modules (nothingmuch).
124 * Class::MOP::Package
125 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
129 * Class::MOP::Package
130 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
131 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
132 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
135 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
136 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
139 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
140 * Class::MOP::Attribute
141 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
142 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
143 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
144 attributes. (nothingmuch)
146 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
148 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
149 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
150 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
151 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
152 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
155 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
156 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
158 * Class::MOP::Package
159 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
160 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
162 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
163 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
164 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
166 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
167 * Class::MOP::Package
168 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
171 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
174 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
175 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
176 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
179 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
180 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
182 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
184 * Class::MOP::Package
185 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
188 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
189 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
191 * Class::MOP::Attribute
193 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
196 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
197 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
198 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
199 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
202 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
203 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
204 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
205 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
206 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
207 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
211 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
212 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
216 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
217 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
218 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
222 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
223 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
226 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
227 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
228 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
232 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
233 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
234 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
235 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
236 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
239 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
240 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
242 * Class::MOP::Instance
243 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
244 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
246 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
248 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
250 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
253 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
255 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
256 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
259 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
260 changed back in 0.82_01)
261 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
262 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
265 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
266 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
268 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
270 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
271 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
272 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
275 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
276 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
279 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
280 * Class::MOP::Attribute
281 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
283 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
284 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
285 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
288 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
291 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
292 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
293 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
294 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
295 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
298 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
301 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
303 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
307 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
308 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
309 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
310 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
314 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
317 * Class::MOP::Package
318 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
321 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
324 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
326 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
329 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
330 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
331 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
332 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
335 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
336 was removed in 0.82_01.
338 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
339 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
340 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
341 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
342 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
343 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
344 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
345 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
346 for the Moose compatibility handling code
347 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
349 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
351 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
352 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
354 * Class::MOP::Immutable
355 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
356 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
357 provides its own constructor (doy)
359 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
362 * Class::MOP::Instance
363 * Class::MOP::Attribute
364 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
365 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
366 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
367 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
370 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
371 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
373 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
375 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
376 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
378 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
379 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
380 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
381 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
382 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
385 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
386 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
387 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
388 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
389 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
390 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
391 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
393 - Class::MOP::Instance
394 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
398 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
399 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
400 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
402 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
403 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
404 when an object is constructed)
405 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
407 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
408 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
409 when an object is constructed)
410 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
411 - attributes => _attributes
412 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
414 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
416 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
417 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
418 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
421 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
422 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
423 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
426 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
427 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
428 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
429 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
433 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
434 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
435 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
436 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
437 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
438 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
440 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
441 * No changes from 0.78_02.
443 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
445 * Class::MOP::Immutable
446 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
447 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
448 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
449 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
453 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
454 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
457 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
458 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
459 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
461 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
463 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
464 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
467 * Class::MOP::Instance
468 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
469 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
470 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
471 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
473 * Class::MOP::Attribute
474 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
475 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
476 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
478 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
479 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
480 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
484 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
485 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
486 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
487 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
489 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
490 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
491 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
492 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
493 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
494 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
495 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
496 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
497 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
500 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
501 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
504 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
506 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
507 * No changes from 0.77_01
509 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
511 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
512 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
513 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
514 against the pure Perl version of this code.
516 * Class::MOP::Instance
517 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
518 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
521 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
523 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
527 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
528 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
532 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
533 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
535 * Class::MOP::Package
536 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
537 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
540 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
544 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
545 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
546 near future release. You've been warned.
548 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
549 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
550 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
551 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
553 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
554 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
557 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
558 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
561 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
564 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
565 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
567 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
569 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
570 sharing an immutable transformer object
571 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
572 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
574 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
576 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
577 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
578 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
579 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
581 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
582 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
584 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
586 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
587 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
589 * t/082_get_code_info.t
590 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
591 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
592 succeed in that case.
594 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
595 * Class::MOP::Package
596 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
599 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
600 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
602 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
603 * Class::MOP::Immutable
604 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
605 the constructor was inlined.
606 * Class::MOP::Package
607 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
608 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
609 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
611 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
612 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
614 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
616 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
617 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
618 * Class::MOP::Immutable
619 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
620 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
621 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
624 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
625 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
626 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
627 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
628 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
629 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
630 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
631 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
632 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
633 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
635 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
638 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
639 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
642 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
644 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
645 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
647 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
649 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
650 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
651 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
654 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
655 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
656 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
659 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
661 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
662 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
664 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
665 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
666 times in an eval. (t0m)
668 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
670 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
671 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
672 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
673 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
674 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
675 - added test for this
677 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
678 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
679 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
682 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
683 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
687 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
688 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
689 aliased methods and "real" methods.
691 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
692 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
693 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
694 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
697 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
698 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
701 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
702 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
703 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
704 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
705 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
706 for sad systems without a compiler.
709 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
710 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
713 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
714 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
715 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
717 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
719 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
720 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
721 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
722 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
724 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
725 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
726 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
727 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
729 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
731 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
732 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
735 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
736 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
737 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
739 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
741 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
743 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
744 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
745 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
747 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
748 * Class::MOP::Package
749 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
750 releases. (nothingmuch)
753 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
755 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
756 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
757 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
760 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
763 * Class::MOP::Instance
764 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
766 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
768 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
769 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
770 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
771 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
774 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
775 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
779 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
780 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
781 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
782 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
783 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
786 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
787 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
788 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
791 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
792 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
793 consistency (nothingmuch)
794 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
796 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
797 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
798 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
799 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
802 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
803 * Class::MOP::Immutable
804 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
806 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
808 * Class::MOP::Instance
809 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
810 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
812 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
814 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
815 the class is already loaded (sartak)
816 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
817 instead of just 1 (sartak)
820 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
822 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
823 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
824 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
826 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
827 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
828 recognizes it correct this time.
830 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
831 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
834 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
835 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
838 - now stores the instance of the instance
839 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
840 and deletes it when the cache is blown
841 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
842 the options used to make it immutable as well as
843 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
845 * Class::MOP::Package
846 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
847 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
848 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
852 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
854 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
855 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
857 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
858 names now throw a more direct error in
860 - tests for this and other aspects of
866 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
867 Class::MOP::Attribute
868 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
871 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
872 (late night release engineering)--
874 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
875 changes in this release
877 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
878 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
879 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
882 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
883 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
884 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
887 * Class::MOP::Package
888 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
890 - inlining a few calls to &name with
891 direct HASH access key access
892 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
893 a HASH of items based on a type filter
894 similar to list_all_package_symbols
895 - added tests for this
898 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
899 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
900 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
901 - added more descriptive error message to help
902 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
903 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
905 * Class::MOP::Immutable
906 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
908 - added tests for this
910 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
912 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
913 function from MRO::Compat
914 - All XS based functionality now has a
915 Pure Perl alternative
916 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
917 can now be used to force non-XS versions

923 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
925 - added tests for this
927 * Class::MOP::Immutable
928 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
929 making the class immutable
932 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
933 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
934 allow for it to work.
935 - added tests for this
937 * Class::MOP::Attribute
939 Class::MOP::Immutable
940 - any time a method meta object is constructed
941 we make sure to pass the correct package and
942 method name information
945 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
946 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
947 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
948 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
949 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
950 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
951 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
952 throw an error if these are not supplied.
953 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
954 and now store the package_name and name attributes
957 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
958 Module::Install support has been removed
960 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
961 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
962 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
963 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
967 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
968 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
970 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
971 when it has no init_arg
972 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
973 to support c3 classes.
975 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
978 - making sure that load_class never gets
979 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
980 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
983 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
985 - improved error handling in ->create method
986 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
987 will be used to populate values
988 - added tests for this
991 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
992 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
998 Class::MOP::Attribute
999 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
1000 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1002 * Class::MOP::Instance
1003 Class::MOP::Immutable
1004 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1007 - fixed the filename length on several
1008 test files so we install on VMS better
1010 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1011 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1013 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1014 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1017 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1018 Class::MOP::Attribute
1019 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1020 to indicate that no constructor args can
1021 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1022 - added tests for this
1023 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1026 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1027 feature instead of the silly hack from
1028 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1030 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1032 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1035 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1036 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1039 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1040 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1041 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1044 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1045 constant so that we can take advantage
1046 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1049 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1050 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1051 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1052 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1053 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1054 - added tests for this
1056 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1057 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1058 the transformer which immutablized it
1060 * Class::MOP::Instance
1061 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1062 - added tests for this
1064 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1066 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1067 transformation arguments are saved
1069 - added tests for this
1071 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1072 - fixed a bug (see above)
1074 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1077 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1078 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1079 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1082 - removed the dependency on B
1083 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1084 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1085 the B fiddling we were doing with
1086 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1087 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1088 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1089 be used to help manage method caching.
1092 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1093 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1094 even more accurate caching information.
1095 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1098 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1099 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1100 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1101 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1103 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1104 of the new method map caching features
1106 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1107 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1108 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1109 HASH ref case, which makes the
1110 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1111 - added more tests for this
1113 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1114 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1115 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1116 - added more tests for this
1118 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1120 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1121 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1122 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1124 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1125 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1126 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1127 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1129 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1130 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1131 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1133 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1134 - Apparently I didn't make dist correctly (groditi)
1136 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1141 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1142 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1143 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1144 call through (groditi)
1146 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1147 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1148 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1149 it is defined (groditi)
1151 * Class::MOP::Instance
1152 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1153 it is defined (groditi)
1155 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1156 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1157 - removed the relevant attributes
1159 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1160 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1161 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1162 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1164 - added tests for this
1165 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1166 non-inlined constructors.
1167 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1169 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1170 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1171 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1172 - added tests for this
1175 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1176 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1179 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1181 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1182 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1184 * Class::MOP::Package
1185 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1188 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1190 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1192 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1193 it manually now so that people can use this
1194 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1196 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1198 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1199 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1200 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1203 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1204 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1205 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1206 - removed unused variable
1207 - added create_immutable_transformer
1208 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1209 - tests for this (groditi)
1212 - Immutability can now be undone,
1213 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1214 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1215 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1216 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1217 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1218 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1219 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1220 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1221 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1223 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1224 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1226 * Class::MOP::Package
1227 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1228 - added tests for this
1229 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1231 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1232 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1233 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1235 - added tests and POD for this
1238 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1239 handles undef values correctly.
1240 - added tests for this
1241 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1242 will not get reaped when instances still
1243 exist which need to reference them. This is
1244 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1245 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1246 many work arounds out in the wild.
1247 - added tests for this by groditi
1248 - updated docs to explain this
1251 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1252 - added tests for this behavior
1254 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1255 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1258 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1259 - added tests and docs for these
1261 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1262 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1263 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1267 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1272 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1273 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1274 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1275 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1276 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1279 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1281 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1282 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1283 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1286 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1287 immutable transformation instead of
1288 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1290 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1291 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1292 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1293 be coming eventually.
1296 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1298 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1299 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1303 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1306 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1308 - constructor generation is now handled by
1309 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1311 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1312 - created this to handle constructor generation
1313 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1315 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1317 - attributes now delegate to the
1318 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1321 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1322 - all accessor generation functions from
1323 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1325 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1327 * scripts/class_browser.pl
1328 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1329 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1333 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1334 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1335 they are aliased from the originals
1336 - fixed tests to reflect
1337 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1339 - adjusted tests for this
1340 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1343 * Class::MOP::Method
1345 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1346 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1347 - adjusted tests to compensate
1348 - adjusted docs for this
1351 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1352 encapsulate most of the work into the
1353 &get_method_map method
1354 - made several adjustments for the change
1355 in Class::MOP::Method
1356 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1357 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1358 old one before installing the new one
1359 - added tests for this
1360 - adjusted docs for this
1362 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1363 - added caching of &get_method_map
1364 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1365 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
1367 * Class::MOP::Package
1368 - added filtering capabilities to
1369 &list_all_package_symbols
1371 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1373 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1374 the $:version and such just actually goes
1375 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1376 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1378 - The &create method now requires that all
1379 but the package name now is passed in as
1380 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1381 - updated docs and tests for this
1383 * Class::MOP::Object
1384 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1398 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
1401 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
1402 - fixed all tests for this
1404 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1405 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1406 are no longer allowed for defaults
1407 - added tests for this
1409 * Class::MOP::Package
1410 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1411 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1412 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1414 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1416 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1417 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1418 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1419 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1421 * Class::MOP::Package
1422 - refactored entire class, this is now
1423 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1424 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1425 - added many tests for this
1426 - this class is now a subclass of
1428 - added some tests to reflect this
1431 - refactored all symbol table access to
1432 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1434 * Class::MOP::Module
1435 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1436 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1437 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1438 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1439 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1440 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1441 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1442 - added tests for this
1444 * Class::MOP::Instance
1445 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
1447 - added tests for this
1449 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1450 - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
1451 slots from an instance
1452 - added tests for this
1454 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
1457 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1458 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1460 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1461 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1462 the value of the attribute for a particular
1465 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1466 ---------------------------------------
1467 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1468 to introduce the immutable features which
1469 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1470 This support should still be considered
1471 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1472 ---------------------------------------
1474 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1476 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1477 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1478 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1481 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1482 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1483 ::Package and now inherited
1484 - added tests for this
1486 * Class::MOP::Instance
1487 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1488 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1489 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1490 instance creation (of course)
1493 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1494 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1495 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1496 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1497 table manipulation methods.
1499 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1500 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++

1504 - small fix to &clone_instance
1506 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1507 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1508 - This release works in combination with
1509 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1510 because it introduces a new instance
1511 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1515 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1516 - added tests for this

1521 - added tests for this
1522 - changed all relevant modules and examples

1556 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1557 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1558 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1559 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1560 delegates appropriately
1562 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1563 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1564 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1565 called initialize_instance_slot

1569 initialize_instance_slot method
1571 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1594 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1596 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1597 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1598 available in DESTORY calls
1600 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1601 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1602 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1604 * Class::MOP::Method

1643 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1644 - added docs and tests
1646 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1647 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1648 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1649 be considered "ready to use".
1651 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1652 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1653 - test coverage is now at 99%
1656 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1657 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the

1671 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1673 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1674 metaclass a little more straightforward
1677 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1678 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1679 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1680 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1684 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1685 is now more useful for subclasses
1686 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1687 hash of attribute meta objects
1688 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1689 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1690 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1691 attribute meta-object itself
1692 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1693 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1694 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1704 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1705 - added tests and docs for this

1715 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1716 attributes/methods respectively
1719 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1722 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1723 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class

1754 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1755 - adding POD documentation to the examples
