1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * Use get_or_add_package_symbol when we intend for it to autovivify, in
6 preparation for changes in Package::Stash. (doy)
12 * The get_method_list and _get_local_methods methods blew up in the face
13 of subroutine stubs. (Goro Fuji)
15 1.07 Tue, Aug 25, 2010
19 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
20 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
21 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
24 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
28 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
29 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
30 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
33 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
37 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
38 for inlined code (doy).
40 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
42 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
46 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
47 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
48 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
49 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
50 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
57 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
59 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
63 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
64 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
68 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
70 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
71 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
72 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
78 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
79 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
83 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
84 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
85 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
87 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
89 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
91 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
93 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
97 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
99 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
103 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
104 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
106 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
110 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
111 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
113 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
114 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
116 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
118 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
119 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
120 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
122 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
124 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
126 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
127 modules (nothingmuch).
129 * Class::MOP::Package
130 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
134 * Class::MOP::Package
135 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
136 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
137 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
140 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
141 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
144 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
145 * Class::MOP::Attribute
146 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
147 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
148 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
149 attributes. (nothingmuch)
151 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
153 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
154 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
155 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
156 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
157 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
159 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
160 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
161 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
163 * Class::MOP::Package
164 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
165 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
167 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
168 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
169 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
171 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
172 * Class::MOP::Package
173 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
176 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
179 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
180 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
181 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
184 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
185 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
187 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
189 * Class::MOP::Package
190 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
193 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
194 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
196 * Class::MOP::Attribute
198 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
201 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
202 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
203 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
204 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
207 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
208 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
209 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
210 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
211 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
212 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
216 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
217 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
221 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
222 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
223 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
227 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
228 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
231 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
232 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
233 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
237 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
238 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
239 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
240 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
241 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
244 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
245 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
247 * Class::MOP::Instance
248 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
249 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
251 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
253 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
255 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
258 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
260 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
261 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
264 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
265 changed back in 0.82_01)
266 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
267 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
270 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
271 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
273 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
275 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
276 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
277 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
280 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
281 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
284 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
285 * Class::MOP::Attribute
286 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
288 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
289 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
290 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
293 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
296 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
297 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
298 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
299 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
300 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
303 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
306 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
308 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
312 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
313 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
314 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
315 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
319 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
322 * Class::MOP::Package
323 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
326 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
329 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
331 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
334 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
335 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
336 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
337 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
340 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
341 was removed in 0.82_01.
343 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
344 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
345 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
346 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
347 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
348 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
349 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
350 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
351 for the Moose compatibility handling code
352 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
354 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
356 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
357 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
359 * Class::MOP::Immutable
360 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
361 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
362 provides its own constructor (doy)
364 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
367 * Class::MOP::Instance
368 * Class::MOP::Attribute
369 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
370 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
371 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
372 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
375 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
376 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
378 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
380 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
381 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
383 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
384 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
385 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
386 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
387 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
390 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
391 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
392 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
393 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
394 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
395 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
396 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
398 - Class::MOP::Instance
399 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
403 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
404 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
405 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
407 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
408 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
409 when an object is constructed)
410 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
412 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
413 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
414 when an object is constructed)
415 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
416 - attributes => _attributes
417 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
419 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
421 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
422 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
423 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
426 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
427 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
428 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
431 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
432 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
433 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
434 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
438 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
439 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
440 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
441 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
442 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
443 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
445 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
446 * No changes from 0.78_02.
448 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
450 * Class::MOP::Immutable
451 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
452 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
453 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
454 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
458 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
459 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
462 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
463 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
464 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
466 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
468 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
469 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
472 * Class::MOP::Instance
473 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
474 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
475 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
476 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
478 * Class::MOP::Attribute
479 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
480 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
481 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
483 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
484 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
485 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
489 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
490 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
491 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
492 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
494 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
495 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
496 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
497 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
498 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
499 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
500 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
501 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
502 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
505 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
506 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
509 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
511 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
512 * No changes from 0.77_01
514 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
516 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
517 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
518 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
519 against the pure Perl version of this code.
521 * Class::MOP::Instance
522 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
523 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
526 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
528 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
532 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
533 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
537 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
538 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
540 * Class::MOP::Package
541 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
542 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
545 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
549 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
550 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
551 near future release. You've been warned.
553 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
554 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
555 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
556 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
558 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
559 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
562 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
563 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
566 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
569 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
570 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
572 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
574 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
575 sharing an immutable transformer object
576 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
577 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
579 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
581 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
582 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
583 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
584 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
586 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
587 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
589 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
591 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
592 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
594 * t/082_get_code_info.t
595 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
596 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
597 succeed in that case.
599 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
600 * Class::MOP::Package
601 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
604 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
605 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
607 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
608 * Class::MOP::Immutable
609 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
610 the constructor was inlined.
611 * Class::MOP::Package
612 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
613 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
614 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
616 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
617 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
619 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
621 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
622 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
623 * Class::MOP::Immutable
624 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
625 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
626 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
629 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
630 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
631 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
632 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
633 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
634 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
635 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
636 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
637 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
638 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
640 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
643 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
644 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
647 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
649 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
650 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
652 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
654 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
655 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
656 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
659 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
660 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
661 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
664 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
666 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
667 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
669 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
670 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
671 times in an eval. (t0m)
673 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
675 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
676 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
677 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
678 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
679 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
680 - added test for this
682 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
683 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
684 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
687 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
688 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
692 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
693 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
694 aliased methods and "real" methods.
696 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
697 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
698 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
699 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
702 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
703 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
706 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
707 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
708 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
709 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
710 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
711 for sad systems without a compiler.
714 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
715 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
718 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
719 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
720 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
722 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
724 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
725 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
726 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
727 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
729 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
730 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
731 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
732 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
734 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
736 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
737 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
740 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
741 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
742 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
744 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
746 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
748 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
749 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
750 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
752 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
753 * Class::MOP::Package
754 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
755 releases. (nothingmuch)
758 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
760 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
761 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
762 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
765 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
768 * Class::MOP::Instance
769 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
771 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
773 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
774 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
775 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
776 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
779 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
780 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
784 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
785 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
786 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
787 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
788 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
791 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
792 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
793 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
796 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
797 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
798 consistency (nothingmuch)
799 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
801 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
802 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
803 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
804 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
807 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
808 * Class::MOP::Immutable
809 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
811 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
813 * Class::MOP::Instance
814 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
815 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
817 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
819 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
820 the class is already loaded (sartak)
821 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
822 instead of just 1 (sartak)
825 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
827 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
828 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
829 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
831 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
832 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
833 recognizes it correct this time.
835 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
836 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
839 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
840 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
843 - now stores the instance of the instance
844 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
845 and deletes it when the cache is blown
846 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
847 the options used to make it immutable as well as
848 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
850 * Class::MOP::Package
851 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
852 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
853 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
857 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
859 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
860 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
862 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
863 names now throw a more direct error in
865 - tests for this and other aspects of
871 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
872 Class::MOP::Attribute
873 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
876 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
877 (late night release engineering)--
879 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
880 changes in this release
882 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
883 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
884 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
887 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
888 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
889 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
892 * Class::MOP::Package
893 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
895 - inlining a few calls to &name with
896 direct HASH access key access
897 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
898 a HASH of items based on a type filter
899 similar to list_all_package_symbols
900 - added tests for this
903 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
904 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
905 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
906 - added more descriptive error message to help
907 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
908 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
910 * Class::MOP::Immutable
911 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
913 - added tests for this
915 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
917 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
918 function from MRO::Compat
919 - All XS based functionality now has a
920 Pure Perl alternative
921 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
922 can now be used to force non-XS versions
925 * Class::MOP::Attribute

932 * Class::MOP::Immutable
933 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
934 making the class immutable
937 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
938 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
939 allow for it to work.
940 - added tests for this
942 * Class::MOP::Attribute
944 Class::MOP::Immutable
945 - any time a method meta object is constructed
946 we make sure to pass the correct package and
947 method name information
950 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
951 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
952 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
953 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
954 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
955 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
956 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
957 throw an error if these are not supplied.
958 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
959 and now store the package_name and name attributes
962 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
963 Module::Install support has been removed
965 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
966 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
967 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
968 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
972 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
973 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
975 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
976 when it has no init_arg
977 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
978 to support c3 classes.
980 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
983 - making sure that load_class never gets
984 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
985 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
988 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
990 - improved error handling in ->create method
991 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
992 will be used to populate values
993 - added tests for this
996 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
997 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
1003 Class::MOP::Attribute
1004 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
1005 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1007 * Class::MOP::Instance
1008 Class::MOP::Immutable
1009 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1012 - fixed the filename length on several
1013 test files so we install on VMS better
1015 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1016 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1018 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1019 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1022 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1023 Class::MOP::Attribute
1024 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1025 to indicate that no constructor args can
1026 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1027 - added tests for this
1028 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1031 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1032 feature instead of the silly hack from
1033 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1035 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1037 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1040 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1041 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1044 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1045 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1046 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1049 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1050 constant so that we can take advantage
1051 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1054 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1055 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1056 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1057 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1058 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1059 - added tests for this
1061 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1062 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1063 the transformer which immutablized it
1065 * Class::MOP::Instance
1066 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1067 - added tests for this
1069 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1071 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1072 transformation arguments are saved
1074 - added tests for this
1076 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1077 - fixed a bug (see above)
1079 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1082 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1083 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1084 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1087 - removed the dependency on B
1088 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1089 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1090 the B fiddling we were doing with
1091 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1092 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1093 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1094 be used to help manage method caching.
1097 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1098 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1099 even more accurate caching information.
1100 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1103 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1104 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1105 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1106 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1108 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1109 of the new method map caching features
1111 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1112 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1113 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1114 HASH ref case, which makes the
1115 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1116 - added more tests for this
1118 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1119 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1120 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1121 - added more tests for this
1123 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1125 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1126 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1127 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1129 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1130 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1131 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1132 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1134 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1135 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1136 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1138 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1141 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1143 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1146 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1147 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1148 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1149 call through (groditi)
1151 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1152 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1153 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1154 it is defined (groditi)
1156 * Class::MOP::Instance
1157 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1158 it is defined (groditi)
1160 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1161 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1162 - removed the relevant attributes
1164 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1165 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1166 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1167 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1169 - added tests for this
1170 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1171 non-inlined constructors.
1172 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1174 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1175 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1176 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1177 - added tests for this
1180 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1181 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1184 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1186 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1187 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1189 * Class::MOP::Package
1190 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1193 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1195 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1197 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1198 it manually now so that people can use this
1199 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1201 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1203 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1204 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1205 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1208 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1209 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1210 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1211 - removed unused variable
1212 - added create_immutable_transformer
1213 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1214 - tests for this (groditi)
1217 - Immutability can now be undone,
1218 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1219 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1220 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1221 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1222 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1223 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1224 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1225 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1226 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1228 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1229 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1231 * Class::MOP::Package
1232 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1236 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1237 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1238 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1240 - added tests and POD for this
1243 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1244 handles undef values correctly.
1245 - added tests for this
1246 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1247 will not get reaped when instances still
1248 exist which need to reference them. This is
1249 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1250 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1251 many work arounds out in the wild.
1252 - added tests for this by groditi
1253 - updated docs to explain this
1256 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1257 - added tests for this behavior
1259 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1260 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1263 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1264 - added tests and docs for these
1266 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1267 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1268 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1272 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1277 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1278 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1279 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1280 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1281 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1284 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1286 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1287 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1288 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1291 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1292 immutable transformation instead of
1293 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1295 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1296 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1297 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1298 be coming eventually.
1301 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1303 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1304 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1308 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1311 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1313 - constructor generation is now handled by
1314 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1316 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1317 - created this to handle constructor generation
1318 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1320 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1322 - attributes now delegate to the
1323 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1326 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1327 - all accessor generation functions from
1328 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1330 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1333 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1334 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1338 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1339 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1340 they are aliased from the originals
1341 - fixed tests to reflect
1342 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1344 - adjusted tests for this
1345 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1348 * Class::MOP::Method
1350 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1351 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1352 - adjusted tests to compensate
1353 - adjusted docs for this
1356 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1357 encapsulate most of the work into the
1358 &get_method_map method
1359 - made several adjustments for the change
1360 in Class::MOP::Method
1361 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1362 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1363 old one before installing the new one
1364 - added tests for this
1365 - adjusted docs for this
1367 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1368 - added caching of &get_method_map
1369 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1370 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
1372 * Class::MOP::Package
1373 - added filtering capabilities to
1374 &list_all_package_symbols
1376 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1378 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1379 the $:version and such just actually goes
1380 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1381 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1383 - The &create method now requires that all
1384 but the package name now is passed in as
1385 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1386 - updated docs and tests for this
1388 * Class::MOP::Object
1389 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1411 are no longer allowed for defaults
1412 - added tests for this
1414 * Class::MOP::Package
1415 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1416 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1417 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1419 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1421 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1422 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1423 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1424 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1426 * Class::MOP::Package
1427 - refactored entire class, this is now
1428 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1429 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1430 - added many tests for this
1431 - this class is now a subclass of
1433 - added some tests to reflect this
1436 - refactored all symbol table access to
1437 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1439 * Class::MOP::Module
1440 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1441 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1442 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1443 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1444 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1445 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1446 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1447 - added tests for this
1449 * Class::MOP::Instance
1450 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
1452 - added tests for this
1454 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1455 - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
1456 slots from an instance
1457 - added tests for this
1459 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
1462 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1463 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1465 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1466 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1467 the value of the attribute for a particular
1470 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1471 ---------------------------------------
1472 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1473 to introduce the immutable features which
1474 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1475 This support should still be considered
1476 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1477 ---------------------------------------
1479 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1481 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1482 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1483 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1486 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1487 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1488 ::Package and now inherited
1489 - added tests for this
1491 * Class::MOP::Instance
1492 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1493 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1494 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1495 instance creation (of course)
1498 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1499 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1500 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1501 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1502 table manipulation methods.
1504 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1505 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++

1511 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1512 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1513 - This release works in combination with
1514 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1515 because it introduces a new instance
1516 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1520 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected

1526 - added tests for this
1527 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1529 - Class::MOP::Attribute

1561 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1562 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1563 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1564 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1565 delegates appropriately
1567 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1568 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1569 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1570 called initialize_instance_slot

1574 initialize_instance_slot method
1576 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1599 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1601 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1602 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1603 available in DESTORY calls
1605 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1606 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1607 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.

1611 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1612 which were formerly private subs in
1615 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1616 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1617 before, after and around modifiers
1618 - added tests and docs for this feature

1647 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1648 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1649 - added docs and tests
1651 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1652 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1653 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1654 be considered "ready to use".
1656 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1657 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1658 - test coverage is now at 99%
1661 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1662 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1663 metaclass pragma instead.

1676 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1678 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1679 metaclass a little more straightforward
1682 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1683 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1684 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1685 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1689 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1690 is now more useful for subclasses
1691 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1692 hash of attribute meta objects
1693 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1694 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1695 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1696 attribute meta-object itself
1697 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1698 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1699 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1709 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1710 - added tests and docs for this

1720 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1721 attributes/methods respectively
1724 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1727 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1728 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1729 - added new example:

1759 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1760 - adding POD documentation to the examples
