1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
3 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
5 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
6 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
7 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
10 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
12 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
13 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
15 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
17 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
18 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
22 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
23 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
25 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
27 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
29 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
30 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
31 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
33 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
35 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
36 releases. (nothingmuch)
39 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
41 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
42 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
43 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
46 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
49 * Class::MOP::Instance
50 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
52 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
54 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
55 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
56 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
57 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
60 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
61 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
65 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
66 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
67 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
68 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
69 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
72 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
73 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
74 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
77 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
78 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
79 consistency (nothingmuch)
80 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
82 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
83 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
84 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
85 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
88 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
89 * Class::MOP::Immutable
90 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
92 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
94 * Class::MOP::Instance
95 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
96 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
100 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
101 the class is already loaded (sartak)
102 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
103 instead of just 1 (sartak)
106 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
108 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
109 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
110 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
112 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
113 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
114 recognizes it correct this time.
116 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
117 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
120 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
121 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
124 - now stores the instance of the instance
125 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
126 and deletes it when the cache is blown
127 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
128 the options used to make it immutable as well as
129 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
131 * Class::MOP::Package
132 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
133 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
134 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
138 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
140 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
141 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
143 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
144 names now throw a more direct error in
146 - tests for this and other aspects of
152 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
153 Class::MOP::Attribute
154 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
157 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
158 (late night release engineering)--
160 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
161 changes in this release
163 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
164 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
165 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
168 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
169 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
170 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
173 * Class::MOP::Package
174 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
176 - inlining a few calls to &name with
177 direct HASH access key access
178 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
179 a HASH of items based on a type filter
180 similar to list_all_package_symbols
181 - added tests for this
184 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
185 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
186 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
187 - added more descriptive error message to help
188 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
189 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
191 * Class::MOP::Immutable
192 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
194 - added tests for this
196 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
198 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
199 function from MRO::Compat
200 - All XS based functionality now has a
201 Pure Perl alternative
202 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
203 can now be used to force non-XS versions
206 * Class::MOP::Attribute

208 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
209 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
211 - added tests for this
213 * Class::MOP::Immutable
214 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
215 making the class immutable
218 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
219 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
220 allow for it to work.
221 - added tests for this
223 * Class::MOP::Attribute
225 Class::MOP::Immutable
226 - any time a method meta object is constructed
227 we make sure to pass the correct package and
228 method name information
231 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
232 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
233 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
234 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
235 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
236 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
237 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
238 throw an error if these are not supplied.
239 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
240 and now store the package_name and name attributes
243 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
244 Module::Install support has been removed
246 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
247 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
248 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
249 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
253 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
254 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
256 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
257 when it has no init_arg
258 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
259 to support c3 classes.
261 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
264 - making sure that load_class never gets
265 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
266 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
269 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
271 - improved error handling in ->create method
272 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
273 will be used to populate values
274 - added tests for this
277 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
278 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
284 Class::MOP::Attribute
285 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
286 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
288 * Class::MOP::Instance
289 Class::MOP::Immutable
290 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
293 - fixed the filename length on several
294 test files so we install on VMS better
296 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
297 should be catfile (RT #32385)
299 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
300 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
303 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

306 to indicate that no constructor args can
307 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
308 - added tests for this
309 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
312 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
313 feature instead of the silly hack from
314 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
316 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
318 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
321 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
322 - removed assumptions about the existence of
325 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
326 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
327 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
330 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
331 constant so that we can take advantage
332 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
335 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
336 optimize the &linearized_isa method
337 and avoid the hack/check for circular
338 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
339 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
340 - added tests for this
342 * Class::MOP::Immutable
343 - the immutable class now keeps track of

352 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
353 transformation arguments are saved
355 - added tests for this
357 * Class::MOP::Immutable
358 - fixed a bug (see above)
360 * Class::MOP::Attribute

364 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
365 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
368 - removed the dependency on B
369 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
370 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
371 the B fiddling we were doing with
372 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
373 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
374 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
375 be used to help manage method caching.
378 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
379 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
380 even more accurate caching information.
381 blblack++ for that stuff :)
384 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
385 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
386 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
387 track of when we need to re-fetch the
389 - Several small improvements to take advantage
390 of the new method map caching features
392 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
393 * Class::MOP::Attribute

397 - added more tests for this
399 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
400 * Class::MOP::Attribute
401 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
402 - added more tests for this
404 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
406 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
407 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
408 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
410 * Class::MOP::Attribute
411 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
412 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
413 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
415 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
416 * Class::MOP::Attribute
417 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
419 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

424 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
427 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
428 construct_class_instance (groditi)
429 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
430 call through (groditi)
432 * Class::MOP::Attribute
433 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
434 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
435 it is defined (groditi)

443 - removed the relevant attributes
445 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
446 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
447 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
448 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
450 - added tests for this
451 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
452 non-inlined constructors.
453 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
455 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
456 - added this class as an abstract base for the
457 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
458 - added tests for this
461 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
462 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
465 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
467 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
468 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
470 * Class::MOP::Package
471 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
474 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
476 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
478 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
479 it manually now so that people can use this
480 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
482 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
484 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
485 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
486 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
489 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
490 * Class::MOP::Immutable
491 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
492 - removed unused variable
493 - added create_immutable_transformer
494 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
495 - tests for this (groditi)
498 - Immutability can now be undone,
499 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
500 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
501 for details see comments next to make_immutable
502 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
503 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
504 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
505 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
506 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
507 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
509 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
510 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
512 * Class::MOP::Package
513 - we now deal with stub methods properly
514 - added tests for this
515 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
517 * Class::MOP::Attribute
518 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
519 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
521 - added tests and POD for this
524 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
525 handles undef values correctly.
526 - added tests for this
527 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
528 will not get reaped when instances still
529 exist which need to reference them. This is
530 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
531 obscure enough feature that there are not too
532 many work arounds out in the wild.
533 - added tests for this by groditi
534 - updated docs to explain this
537 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
538 - added tests for this behavior
540 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
541 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
544 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
545 - added tests and docs for these
547 * Class::MOP::Attribute
548 - default now checks the instance with defined to
549 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
553 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
559 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
560 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
561 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
562 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
565 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
567 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
568 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
569 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
572 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
573 immutable transformation instead of
574 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
576 + Class::MOP::Immutable
577 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
578 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
579 be coming eventually.
582 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
584 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
585 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
589 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
592 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
594 - constructor generation is now handled by
595 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
597 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
598 - created this to handle constructor generation
599 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
601 * Class::MOP::Attribute
603 - attributes now delegate to the
604 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
607 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
608 - all accessor generation functions from
609 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
611 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
613 * scripts/class_browser.pl
614 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
615 on this to come. Comments and patches are
619 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
620 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
621 they are aliased from the originals
622 - fixed tests to reflect
623 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
625 - adjusted tests for this
626 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
631 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
632 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
633 - adjusted tests to compensate
634 - adjusted docs for this
637 - changed how methods are dealt with to
638 encapsulate most of the work into the
639 &get_method_map method
640 - made several adjustments for the change
641 in Class::MOP::Method
642 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
643 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
644 old one before installing the new one
645 - added tests for this
646 - adjusted docs for this
648 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
649 - added caching of &get_method_map
650 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
651 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
653 * Class::MOP::Package
654 - added filtering capabilities to
655 &list_all_package_symbols
657 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
659 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
660 the $:version and such just actually goes
661 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
662 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
664 - The &create method now requires that all
665 but the package name now is passed in as
666 named parameters. See docs for more info.
667 - updated docs and tests for this
670 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
674 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
675 which do not store things in the instance
676 - added the %:methods attribute definition to
679 ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
681 0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
683 - moved the metaclass cache out of here
684 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
687 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
688 - fixed all tests for this
690 * Class::MOP::Attribute
691 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
692 are no longer allowed for defaults
693 - added tests for this
695 * Class::MOP::Package
696 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
697 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
698 always reloaded from the symbol table.
700 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
702 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
703 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
704 metamodel is more complete (and closer
705 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
707 * Class::MOP::Package
708 - refactored entire class, this is now
709 the primary gateway between the metaclass
710 and the Perl 5 symbol table
711 - added many tests for this
712 - this class is now a subclass of
714 - added some tests to reflect this
717 - refactored all symbol table access to
718 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
721 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
722 so that Module has a version as an attribute
723 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
724 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
725 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
726 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
727 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
728 - added tests for this
730 * Class::MOP::Instance
731 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
733 - added tests for this
735 * Class::MOP::Attribute

744 anywhere within the class hierarchy
746 * Class::MOP::Attribute
747 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
748 the value of the attribute for a particular
751 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
752 ---------------------------------------
753 This is the first version of Class::MOP
754 to introduce the immutable features which
755 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
756 This support should still be considered
757 experimental, but moving towards stability.
758 ---------------------------------------
760 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
762 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
763 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
764 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
767 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
768 - several methods moved to ::Module and
769 ::Package and now inherited
770 - added tests for this
772 * Class::MOP::Instance
773 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
774 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
775 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
776 instance creation (of course)
779 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
780 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
781 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
782 because they are now more general purpose symbol
783 table manipulation methods.
785 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
786 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
788 - small change in &create so that it behaves
789 properly when inherited
790 - small fix to &clone_instance
792 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
793 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
794 - This release works in combination with
795 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
796 because it introduces a new instance
797 sub-protocol and has not yet been
801 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
802 - added tests for this
803 - improved method modifier wrapping
805 * Class::MOP::Instance
806 - added new instance protocol
807 - added tests for this
808 - changed all relevant modules and examples
810 - Class::MOP::Attribute
814 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
815 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
817 - updated tests for this
820 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
821 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
823 - added tests for this

828 0.26 Mon. April 24, 2006
830 - added find_attribute_by_name method

834 * Class::MOP::Attribute
835 - some small optimizations
837 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
839 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
840 - added tests for this
841 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
842 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
843 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
844 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
845 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
846 delegates appropriately
848 * Class::MOP::Attribute
849 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
850 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
851 called initialize_instance_slot
854 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
855 initialize_instance_slot method
857 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
859 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
860 modifiers get named with Sub::Name

869 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
871 - added tests for this
872 - adjusted all /example files to comply
874 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
876 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
877 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
878 - added test case for this
880 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
882 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
883 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
884 available in DESTORY calls
886 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
887 - removed the dependency for Clone since
888 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
891 - added &package_name, &name and
892 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
893 which were formerly private subs in
896 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
897 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
898 before, after and around modifiers
899 - added tests and docs for this feature
902 - improved &get_package_symbol
903 - &version and &superclasses now use it
904 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
906 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
907 - &add_before_method_modifier
908 - &add_after_method_modifier
909 - &add_around_method_modifier
910 - added tests and docs for these
911 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
912 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
914 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
915 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
919 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
920 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
921 the test skip if it is not installed
923 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
925 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
928 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
929 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
930 - added docs and tests
932 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
933 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
934 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
935 be considered "ready to use".
937 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
938 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
939 - test coverage is now at 99%
942 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
943 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
944 metaclass pragma instead.
947 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
948 error/edge-case tests
950 * Class::MOP::Attribute
951 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
952 error/edge-case tests
955 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
957 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
959 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
960 metaclass a little more straightforward
963 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
964 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
965 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
966 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
970 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
971 is now more useful for subclasses
972 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
973 hash of attribute meta objects
974 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
975 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
976 since all the same info can be gotten from the
977 attribute meta-object itself
978 - updated docs & tests to reflect
979 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
980 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
981 - added docs & tests for this
982 - added Clone as a dependency
983 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
984 return blessed new or cloned instances
985 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
986 - added docs & tests for this
987 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
988 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
989 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
990 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
991 - added tests and docs for this
994 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
996 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
998 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
1000 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
1001 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1002 attributes/methods respectively
1005 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1008 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1009 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1010 - added new example:
1013 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1015 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
1017 * Class::MOP::Attribute

1033 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
1034 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
1035 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
1036 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
1037 namespaces really, they are just examples)
1039 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
1040 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1041 - adding POD documentation to the examples
