1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
7 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
8 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
12 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
13 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
14 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
16 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
18 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
20 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
22 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
26 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
28 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
32 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
33 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
35 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
39 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
40 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
42 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
43 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
45 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
47 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
48 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
49 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
51 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
53 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
55 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
56 modules (nothingmuch).
59 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
64 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
65 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
66 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
69 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
70 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
73 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
74 * Class::MOP::Attribute
75 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
76 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
77 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
78 attributes. (nothingmuch)
80 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
82 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
83 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
84 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
85 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
86 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
88 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
89 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
90 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
93 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
94 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
96 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
97 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
98 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
100 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
101 * Class::MOP::Package
102 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
105 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
108 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
109 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
110 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
113 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
114 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
116 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
118 * Class::MOP::Package
119 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
122 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
123 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
125 * Class::MOP::Attribute
127 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
130 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
131 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
132 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
133 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
136 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
137 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
138 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
139 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
140 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
141 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
145 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
146 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
150 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
151 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
152 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
156 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
157 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
160 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
161 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
162 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
166 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
167 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
168 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
169 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
170 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
173 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
174 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
176 * Class::MOP::Instance
177 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
178 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
180 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
182 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
184 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
187 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
189 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
190 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
193 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
194 changed back in 0.82_01)
195 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
196 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
199 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
200 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
202 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
204 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
205 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
206 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
209 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
210 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
213 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
214 * Class::MOP::Attribute
215 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
217 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
218 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
219 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
222 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
225 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
226 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
227 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
228 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
229 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
232 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
235 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
237 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
241 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
242 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
243 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
244 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
248 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
251 * Class::MOP::Package
252 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
255 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
258 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
260 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
263 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
264 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
265 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
266 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
269 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
270 was removed in 0.82_01.
272 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
273 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
274 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
275 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
276 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
277 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
278 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
279 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
280 for the Moose compatibility handling code
281 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
283 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
285 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
286 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
288 * Class::MOP::Immutable
289 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
290 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
291 provides its own constructor (doy)
293 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
296 * Class::MOP::Instance
297 * Class::MOP::Attribute
298 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
299 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
300 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
301 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
304 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
305 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
307 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
309 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
310 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
312 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
313 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
314 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
315 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
316 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
319 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
320 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
321 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
322 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
323 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
324 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
325 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
327 - Class::MOP::Instance
328 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
332 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
333 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
334 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
336 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
337 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
338 when an object is constructed)
339 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
341 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
342 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
343 when an object is constructed)
344 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
345 - attributes => _attributes
346 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
348 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
350 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
351 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
352 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
355 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
356 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
357 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
360 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
361 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
362 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
363 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
367 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
368 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
369 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
370 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
371 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
372 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
374 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
375 * No changes from 0.78_02.
377 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
379 * Class::MOP::Immutable
380 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
381 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
382 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
383 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
387 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
388 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
391 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
392 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
393 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
395 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
397 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
398 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
401 * Class::MOP::Instance
402 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
403 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
404 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
405 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
407 * Class::MOP::Attribute
408 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
409 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
410 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
412 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
413 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
414 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
418 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
419 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
420 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
421 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
423 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
424 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
425 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
426 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
427 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
428 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
429 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
430 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
431 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
434 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
435 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
438 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
440 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
441 * No changes from 0.77_01
443 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
445 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
446 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
447 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
448 against the pure Perl version of this code.
450 * Class::MOP::Instance
451 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
452 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
455 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
457 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
461 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
462 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
466 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
467 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
469 * Class::MOP::Package
470 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
471 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
474 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
478 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
479 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
480 near future release. You've been warned.
482 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
483 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
484 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
485 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
487 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
488 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
491 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
492 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
495 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
498 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
499 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
501 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
503 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
504 sharing an immutable transformer object
505 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
506 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
508 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
510 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
511 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
512 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
513 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
515 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
516 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
518 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
520 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
521 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
523 * t/082_get_code_info.t
524 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
525 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
526 succeed in that case.
528 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
529 * Class::MOP::Package
530 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
533 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
534 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
536 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
537 * Class::MOP::Immutable
538 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
539 the constructor was inlined.
540 * Class::MOP::Package
541 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
542 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
543 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
545 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
546 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
548 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
550 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
551 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
552 * Class::MOP::Immutable
553 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
554 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
555 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
558 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
559 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
560 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
561 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
562 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
563 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
564 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
565 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
566 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
567 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
569 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
572 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
573 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
576 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
578 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
579 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
581 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
583 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
584 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
585 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
588 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
589 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
590 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
593 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
595 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
596 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
598 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
599 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
600 times in an eval. (t0m)
602 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
604 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
605 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
606 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
607 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
608 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
609 - added test for this
611 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
612 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
613 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
616 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
617 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
621 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
622 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
623 aliased methods and "real" methods.
625 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
626 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
627 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
628 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
631 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
632 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
635 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
636 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
637 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
638 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
639 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
640 for sad systems without a compiler.
643 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
644 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
647 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
648 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
649 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
651 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
653 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
654 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
655 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
656 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
658 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
659 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
660 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
661 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
663 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
665 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
666 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
669 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
670 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
671 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
673 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
675 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
677 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
678 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
679 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
681 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
682 * Class::MOP::Package
683 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
684 releases. (nothingmuch)
687 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
689 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
690 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
691 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
694 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
697 * Class::MOP::Instance
698 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
700 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
702 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
703 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
704 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
705 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
708 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
709 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
713 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
714 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
715 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
716 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
717 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
720 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
721 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
722 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
725 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
726 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
727 consistency (nothingmuch)
728 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
730 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
731 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
732 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
733 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
736 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
737 * Class::MOP::Immutable
738 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
740 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
742 * Class::MOP::Instance
743 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
744 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
746 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
748 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
749 the class is already loaded (sartak)
750 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
751 instead of just 1 (sartak)
754 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
756 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
757 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
758 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
760 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
761 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
762 recognizes it correct this time.
764 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
765 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
768 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
769 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
772 - now stores the instance of the instance
773 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
774 and deletes it when the cache is blown
775 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
776 the options used to make it immutable as well as
777 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
779 * Class::MOP::Package
780 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
781 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
782 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
786 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
788 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
789 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
791 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
792 names now throw a more direct error in
794 - tests for this and other aspects of
800 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
801 Class::MOP::Attribute
802 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
805 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
806 (late night release engineering)--
808 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
809 changes in this release
811 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
812 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
813 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
816 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
817 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
818 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
821 * Class::MOP::Package
822 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
824 - inlining a few calls to &name with
825 direct HASH access key access
826 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
827 a HASH of items based on a type filter
828 similar to list_all_package_symbols
829 - added tests for this
832 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
833 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
834 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
835 - added more descriptive error message to help
836 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
837 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
839 * Class::MOP::Immutable
840 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
842 - added tests for this
844 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
846 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
847 function from MRO::Compat
848 - All XS based functionality now has a
849 Pure Perl alternative
850 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
851 can now be used to force non-XS versions
854 * Class::MOP::Attribute
855 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
856 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
857 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
859 - added tests for this
861 * Class::MOP::Immutable
862 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
863 making the class immutable
866 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
867 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
868 allow for it to work.
869 - added tests for this
871 * Class::MOP::Attribute
873 Class::MOP::Immutable
874 - any time a method meta object is constructed
875 we make sure to pass the correct package and
876 method name information
879 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
880 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
881 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
882 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
883 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
884 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
885 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
886 throw an error if these are not supplied.
887 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
888 and now store the package_name and name attributes
891 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
892 Module::Install support has been removed
894 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
895 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
896 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
897 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
901 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
902 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
904 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
905 when it has no init_arg
906 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
907 to support c3 classes.
909 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
912 - making sure that load_class never gets
913 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
914 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
917 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
919 - improved error handling in ->create method
920 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
921 will be used to populate values
922 - added tests for this
925 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
926 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
932 Class::MOP::Attribute
933 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
934 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
936 * Class::MOP::Instance
937 Class::MOP::Immutable
938 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
941 - fixed the filename length on several
942 test files so we install on VMS better
944 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
945 should be catfile (RT #32385)
947 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
948 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
951 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
952 Class::MOP::Attribute
953 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
954 to indicate that no constructor args can
955 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
956 - added tests for this
957 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
960 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
961 feature instead of the silly hack from
962 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
964 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
966 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
969 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
970 - removed assumptions about the existence of
973 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
974 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
975 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
978 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
979 constant so that we can take advantage
980 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
983 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
984 optimize the &linearized_isa method
985 and avoid the hack/check for circular
986 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
987 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
988 - added tests for this
990 * Class::MOP::Immutable
991 - the immutable class now keeps track of
992 the transformer which immutablized it
994 * Class::MOP::Instance
995 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
996 - added tests for this
998 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1000 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1001 transformation arguments are saved
1003 - added tests for this
1005 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1006 - fixed a bug (see above)
1008 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1011 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1012 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1013 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1016 - removed the dependency on B
1017 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1018 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1019 the B fiddling we were doing with
1020 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1021 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1022 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1023 be used to help manage method caching.
1026 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1027 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1028 even more accurate caching information.
1029 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1032 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1033 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1034 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1035 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1037 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1038 of the new method map caching features
1040 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1041 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1042 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1043 HASH ref case, which makes the
1044 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1045 - added more tests for this
1047 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1048 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1049 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1050 - added more tests for this
1052 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1054 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1055 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1056 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1058 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1059 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1060 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1061 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1063 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1064 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1065 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1067 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1075 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1076 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1077 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1078 call through (groditi)
1080 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1081 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)

1083 it is defined (groditi)
1085 * Class::MOP::Instance
1086 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1087 it is defined (groditi)
1089 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1090 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1091 - removed the relevant attributes
1093 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1094 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1095 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1096 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1098 - added tests for this
1099 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1100 non-inlined constructors.
1101 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1103 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1104 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1105 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1106 - added tests for this
1109 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1110 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1113 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1115 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1116 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1118 * Class::MOP::Package
1119 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1122 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1124 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1126 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1127 it manually now so that people can use this
1128 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1130 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1132 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1133 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1134 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1137 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1138 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1139 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1140 - removed unused variable
1141 - added create_immutable_transformer
1142 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1143 - tests for this (groditi)
1146 - Immutability can now be undone,
1147 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1148 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1149 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1150 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1151 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1152 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1153 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1154 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1155 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1157 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1158 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1160 * Class::MOP::Package
1161 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1162 - added tests for this
1163 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1165 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1166 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1167 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1169 - added tests and POD for this
1172 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1173 handles undef values correctly.
1174 - added tests for this
1175 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1176 will not get reaped when instances still
1177 exist which need to reference them. This is
1178 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1179 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1180 many work arounds out in the wild.
1181 - added tests for this by groditi
1182 - updated docs to explain this
1185 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1186 - added tests for this behavior
1188 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1189 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1192 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1193 - added tests and docs for these
1195 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1196 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1197 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1201 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1206 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1207 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1208 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1209 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1210 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1213 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1215 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1216 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1217 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1220 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1221 immutable transformation instead of
1222 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1224 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1225 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1226 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1227 be coming eventually.
1230 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1232 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1233 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1237 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1240 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1242 - constructor generation is now handled by
1243 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1245 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1246 - created this to handle constructor generation
1247 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1249 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1251 - attributes now delegate to the
1252 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1255 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1256 - all accessor generation functions from
1257 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1259 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1261 * scripts/class_browser.pl
1262 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1263 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1267 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1268 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1269 they are aliased from the originals
1270 - fixed tests to reflect
1271 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1273 - adjusted tests for this
1274 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1277 * Class::MOP::Method
1279 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1280 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1281 - adjusted tests to compensate
1282 - adjusted docs for this
1285 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1286 encapsulate most of the work into the
1287 &get_method_map method
1288 - made several adjustments for the change
1289 in Class::MOP::Method
1290 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1291 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1292 old one before installing the new one
1293 - added tests for this
1294 - adjusted docs for this
1296 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1297 - added caching of &get_method_map
1298 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1299 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1302 - added filtering capabilities to
1303 &list_all_package_symbols
1305 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1307 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1308 the $:version and such just actually goes
1309 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1310 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1312 - The &create method now requires that all
1313 but the package name now is passed in as
1314 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1315 - updated docs and tests for this
1317 * Class::MOP::Object
1318 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1322 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes

1339 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1340 are no longer allowed for defaults
1341 - added tests for this
1343 * Class::MOP::Package
1344 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1345 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1346 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1348 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1350 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1351 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1352 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1353 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1355 * Class::MOP::Package
1356 - refactored entire class, this is now
1357 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1358 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1359 - added many tests for this
1360 - this class is now a subclass of
1362 - added some tests to reflect this
1365 - refactored all symbol table access to
1366 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1368 * Class::MOP::Module
1369 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1370 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1371 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1372 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1373 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1374 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1375 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1376 - added tests for this

1385 slots from an instance
1386 - added tests for this
1388 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
1391 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1392 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1394 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1395 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1396 the value of the attribute for a particular
1399 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1400 ---------------------------------------
1401 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1402 to introduce the immutable features which
1403 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1404 This support should still be considered
1405 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1406 ---------------------------------------
1408 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1410 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1411 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1412 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1415 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1416 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1417 ::Package and now inherited
1418 - added tests for this
1420 * Class::MOP::Instance
1421 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1422 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1423 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1424 instance creation (of course)
1427 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1428 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1429 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1430 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1431 table manipulation methods.
1433 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1434 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1436 - small change in &create so that it behaves
1437 properly when inherited
1438 - small fix to &clone_instance
1440 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1441 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1442 - This release works in combination with
1443 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1444 because it introduces a new instance
1445 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1449 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1450 - added tests for this
1451 - improved method modifier wrapping
1453 * Class::MOP::Instance
1454 - added new instance protocol
1455 - added tests for this
1456 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1458 - Class::MOP::Attribute
1462 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
1463 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1465 - updated tests for this
1468 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1469 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
1471 - added tests for this
1472 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
1473 new instance protocol

1485 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
1487 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
1488 - added tests for this
1489 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1490 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1491 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1492 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1493 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1494 delegates appropriately
1496 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1497 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1498 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1499 called initialize_instance_slot
1502 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
1503 initialize_instance_slot method
1505 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
1507 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
1508 modifiers get named with Sub::Name

1512 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
1513 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)

1522 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
1524 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
1525 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
1526 - added test case for this
1528 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1530 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1531 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1532 available in DESTORY calls
1534 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1535 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1536 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1538 * Class::MOP::Method
1539 - added &package_name, &name and
1540 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1541 which were formerly private subs in
1544 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1545 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1546 before, after and around modifiers
1547 - added tests and docs for this feature
1550 - improved &get_package_symbol
1551 - &version and &superclasses now use it
1552 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
1554 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
1555 - &add_before_method_modifier

1557 - &add_around_method_modifier
1558 - added tests and docs for these

1562 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1563 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1567 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
1568 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
1569 the test skip if it is not installed
1571 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
1573 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1576 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1577 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1578 - added docs and tests
1580 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1581 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1582 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1583 be considered "ready to use".
1585 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1586 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1587 - test coverage is now at 99%
1590 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1591 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1592 metaclass pragma instead.
1595 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1596 error/edge-case tests
1598 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1599 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1600 error/edge-case tests
1603 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
1605 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1607 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1608 metaclass a little more straightforward
1611 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1612 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1613 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1614 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1618 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1619 is now more useful for subclasses
1620 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1621 hash of attribute meta objects
1622 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1623 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1624 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1625 attribute meta-object itself
1626 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1627 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1628 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1629 - added docs & tests for this
1630 - added Clone as a dependency
1631 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
1632 return blessed new or cloned instances
1633 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1634 - added docs & tests for this
1635 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1636 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1637 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1638 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1639 - added tests and docs for this
1642 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1644 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1646 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
1648 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
1649 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1650 attributes/methods respectively
1653 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1656 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1657 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1658 - added new example:
1661 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1663 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
1665 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1666 - improved error messages

1681 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
1682 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
1683 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
1684 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
1685 namespaces really, they are just examples)
1687 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
1688 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1689 - adding POD documentation to the examples
