1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
7 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
13 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
15 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
19 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
20 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
22 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
26 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
27 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
29 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
30 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
32 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
34 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
35 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
36 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
38 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
40 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
42 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
43 modules (nothingmuch).
46 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
51 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
52 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
53 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
56 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
57 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
60 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
61 * Class::MOP::Attribute
62 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
63 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
64 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
65 attributes. (nothingmuch)
67 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
69 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
70 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
71 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
72 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
73 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
75 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
76 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
77 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
80 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
81 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
83 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
84 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
85 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
87 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
89 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
92 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
95 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
96 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
97 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
100 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
101 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
103 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
105 * Class::MOP::Package
106 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
109 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
110 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
112 * Class::MOP::Attribute
114 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
117 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
118 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
119 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
120 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
123 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
124 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
125 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
126 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
127 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
128 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
132 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
133 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
137 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
138 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
139 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
143 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
144 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
147 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
148 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
149 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
153 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
154 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
155 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
156 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
157 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
160 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
161 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
163 * Class::MOP::Instance
164 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
165 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
167 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
169 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
171 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
174 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
176 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
177 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
180 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
181 changed back in 0.82_01)
182 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
183 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
186 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
187 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
189 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
191 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
192 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
193 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
196 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
197 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
200 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
201 * Class::MOP::Attribute
202 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
204 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
205 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
206 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
209 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
212 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
213 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
214 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
215 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
216 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
219 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
222 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
224 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
228 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
229 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
230 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
231 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
235 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
238 * Class::MOP::Package
239 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
242 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
245 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
247 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
250 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
251 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
252 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
253 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
256 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
257 was removed in 0.82_01.
259 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
260 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
261 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
262 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
263 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
264 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
265 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
266 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
267 for the Moose compatibility handling code
268 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
270 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
272 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
273 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
275 * Class::MOP::Immutable
276 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
277 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
278 provides its own constructor (doy)
280 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
283 * Class::MOP::Instance
284 * Class::MOP::Attribute
285 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
286 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
287 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
288 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
291 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
292 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
294 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
296 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
297 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
299 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
300 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
301 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
302 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
303 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
306 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
307 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
308 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
309 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
310 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
311 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
312 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
314 - Class::MOP::Instance
315 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
319 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
320 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
321 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
323 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
324 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
325 when an object is constructed)
326 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
328 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
329 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
330 when an object is constructed)
331 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
332 - attributes => _attributes
333 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
335 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
337 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
338 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
339 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
342 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
343 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
344 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
347 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
348 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
349 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
350 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
354 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
355 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
356 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
357 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
358 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
359 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
361 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
362 * No changes from 0.78_02.
364 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
366 * Class::MOP::Immutable
367 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
368 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
369 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
370 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
374 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
375 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
378 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
379 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
380 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
382 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
384 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
385 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
388 * Class::MOP::Instance
389 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
390 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
391 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
392 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
394 * Class::MOP::Attribute
395 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
396 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
397 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
399 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
400 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
401 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
405 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
406 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
407 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
408 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
410 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
411 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
412 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
413 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
414 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
415 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
416 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
417 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
418 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
421 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
422 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
425 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
427 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
428 * No changes from 0.77_01
430 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
432 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
433 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
434 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
435 against the pure Perl version of this code.
437 * Class::MOP::Instance
438 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
439 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
442 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
444 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
448 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
449 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
453 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
454 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
456 * Class::MOP::Package
457 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
458 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
461 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
465 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
466 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
467 near future release. You've been warned.
469 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
470 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
471 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
472 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
474 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
475 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
478 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
479 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
482 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
485 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
486 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
488 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
490 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
491 sharing an immutable transformer object
492 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
493 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
495 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
497 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
498 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
499 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
500 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
502 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
503 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
505 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
507 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
508 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
510 * t/082_get_code_info.t
511 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
512 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
513 succeed in that case.
515 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
516 * Class::MOP::Package
517 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
520 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
521 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
523 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
524 * Class::MOP::Immutable
525 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
526 the constructor was inlined.
527 * Class::MOP::Package
528 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
529 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
530 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
532 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
533 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
535 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
537 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
538 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
539 * Class::MOP::Immutable
540 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
541 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
542 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
545 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
546 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
547 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
548 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
549 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
550 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
551 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
552 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
553 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
554 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
556 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
559 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
560 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
563 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
565 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
566 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
568 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
570 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
571 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
572 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
575 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
576 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
577 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
580 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
582 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
583 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
585 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
586 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
587 times in an eval. (t0m)
589 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
591 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
592 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
593 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
594 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
595 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
596 - added test for this
598 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
599 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
600 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
603 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
604 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
608 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
609 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
610 aliased methods and "real" methods.
612 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
613 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
614 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
615 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
618 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
619 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
622 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
623 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
624 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
625 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
626 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
627 for sad systems without a compiler.
630 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
631 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
634 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
635 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
636 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
638 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
640 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
641 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
642 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
643 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
645 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
646 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
647 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
648 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
650 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
652 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
653 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
656 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
657 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
658 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
660 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
662 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
664 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
665 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
666 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
668 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
669 * Class::MOP::Package
670 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
671 releases. (nothingmuch)
674 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
676 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
677 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
678 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
681 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
684 * Class::MOP::Instance
685 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
687 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
689 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
690 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
691 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
692 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
695 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
696 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
700 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
701 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
702 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
703 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
704 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
707 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
708 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
709 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
712 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
713 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
714 consistency (nothingmuch)
715 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
717 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
718 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
719 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
720 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
723 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
724 * Class::MOP::Immutable
725 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
727 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
729 * Class::MOP::Instance
730 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
731 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
733 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
735 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
736 the class is already loaded (sartak)
737 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
738 instead of just 1 (sartak)
741 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
743 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
744 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
745 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
747 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
748 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
749 recognizes it correct this time.
751 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
752 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
755 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
756 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
759 - now stores the instance of the instance
760 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
761 and deletes it when the cache is blown
762 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
763 the options used to make it immutable as well as
764 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
766 * Class::MOP::Package
767 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
768 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
769 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
773 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
775 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
776 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
778 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
779 names now throw a more direct error in
781 - tests for this and other aspects of
787 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
788 Class::MOP::Attribute
789 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
792 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
793 (late night release engineering)--
795 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
796 changes in this release
798 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
799 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
800 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
803 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
804 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
805 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
808 * Class::MOP::Package
809 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
811 - inlining a few calls to &name with
812 direct HASH access key access
813 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
814 a HASH of items based on a type filter
815 similar to list_all_package_symbols
816 - added tests for this
819 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
820 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
821 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
822 - added more descriptive error message to help
823 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
824 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
826 * Class::MOP::Immutable
827 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
829 - added tests for this
831 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
833 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
834 function from MRO::Compat
835 - All XS based functionality now has a
836 Pure Perl alternative
837 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
838 can now be used to force non-XS versions

844 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
846 - added tests for this
848 * Class::MOP::Immutable
849 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
850 making the class immutable
853 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
854 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
855 allow for it to work.
856 - added tests for this
858 * Class::MOP::Attribute
860 Class::MOP::Immutable
861 - any time a method meta object is constructed
862 we make sure to pass the correct package and
863 method name information
866 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
867 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
868 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
869 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
870 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
871 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
872 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
873 throw an error if these are not supplied.
874 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
875 and now store the package_name and name attributes
878 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
879 Module::Install support has been removed
881 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
882 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
883 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
884 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
888 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
889 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
891 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
892 when it has no init_arg
893 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
894 to support c3 classes.
896 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
899 - making sure that load_class never gets
900 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
901 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
904 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
906 - improved error handling in ->create method
907 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
908 will be used to populate values
909 - added tests for this
912 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
913 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
919 Class::MOP::Attribute
920 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
921 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
923 * Class::MOP::Instance
924 Class::MOP::Immutable
925 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
928 - fixed the filename length on several
929 test files so we install on VMS better
931 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
932 should be catfile (RT #32385)
934 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
935 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
938 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
939 Class::MOP::Attribute

941 to indicate that no constructor args can
942 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
943 - added tests for this
944 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
947 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
948 feature instead of the silly hack from
949 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
951 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
953 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
956 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
957 - removed assumptions about the existence of
960 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
961 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
962 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
965 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
966 constant so that we can take advantage
967 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
970 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
971 optimize the &linearized_isa method
972 and avoid the hack/check for circular
973 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
974 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
975 - added tests for this
977 * Class::MOP::Immutable
978 - the immutable class now keeps track of
979 the transformer which immutablized it
981 * Class::MOP::Instance
982 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
983 - added tests for this
985 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007

988 transformation arguments are saved
990 - added tests for this
992 * Class::MOP::Immutable
993 - fixed a bug (see above)
995 * Class::MOP::Attribute
998 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
999 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1000 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1003 - removed the dependency on B
1004 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1005 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1006 the B fiddling we were doing with
1007 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1008 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1009 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1010 be used to help manage method caching.
1013 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1014 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1015 even more accurate caching information.
1016 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1019 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1020 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1021 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1022 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1024 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1025 of the new method map caching features
1027 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1028 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1029 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1030 HASH ref case, which makes the
1031 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1032 - added more tests for this
1034 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1035 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1036 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1037 - added more tests for this
1039 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1041 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1042 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1043 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1045 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1046 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1047 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1048 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1050 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1051 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1052 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1054 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1057 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1059 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1062 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1063 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1064 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1065 call through (groditi)
1067 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1068 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1069 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1070 it is defined (groditi)
1072 * Class::MOP::Instance
1073 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1074 it is defined (groditi)
1076 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor

1078 - removed the relevant attributes
1080 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1081 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1082 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1083 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1085 - added tests for this
1086 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1087 non-inlined constructors.
1088 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1090 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1091 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1092 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1093 - added tests for this
1096 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)

1100 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1102 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1103 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1105 * Class::MOP::Package
1106 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1109 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1111 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1113 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1114 it manually now so that people can use this
1115 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1117 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1119 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1120 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1121 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1124 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1125 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1126 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1127 - removed unused variable
1128 - added create_immutable_transformer
1129 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1130 - tests for this (groditi)
1133 - Immutability can now be undone,
1134 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1135 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1136 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1137 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1138 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1139 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1140 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1141 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1142 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1144 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1145 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1147 * Class::MOP::Package
1148 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1149 - added tests for this
1150 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1152 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1153 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1154 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1156 - added tests and POD for this
1159 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1160 handles undef values correctly.
1161 - added tests for this
1162 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1163 will not get reaped when instances still
1164 exist which need to reference them. This is
1165 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1166 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1167 many work arounds out in the wild.
1168 - added tests for this by groditi
1169 - updated docs to explain this
1172 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1173 - added tests for this behavior
1175 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1176 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1179 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1180 - added tests and docs for these
1182 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1183 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1184 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1188 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1193 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1194 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1195 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1196 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1197 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1200 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1202 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1203 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1204 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1207 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1208 immutable transformation instead of
1209 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1211 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1212 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1213 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1214 be coming eventually.
1217 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1219 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1220 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1224 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1227 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1229 - constructor generation is now handled by
1230 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1232 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1233 - created this to handle constructor generation
1234 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1236 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1238 - attributes now delegate to the
1239 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1242 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor

1244 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1246 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1249 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1250 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1254 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1255 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1256 they are aliased from the originals
1257 - fixed tests to reflect
1258 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1260 - adjusted tests for this
1261 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1264 * Class::MOP::Method
1266 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1267 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1268 - adjusted tests to compensate
1269 - adjusted docs for this
1272 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1273 encapsulate most of the work into the
1274 &get_method_map method
1275 - made several adjustments for the change
1276 in Class::MOP::Method
1277 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1278 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1279 old one before installing the new one
1280 - added tests for this
1281 - adjusted docs for this
1283 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1284 - added caching of &get_method_map
1285 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1286 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1290 &list_all_package_symbols
1292 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1294 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1295 the $:version and such just actually goes
1296 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1297 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1299 - The &create method now requires that all
1300 but the package name now is passed in as
1301 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1302 - updated docs and tests for this
1304 * Class::MOP::Object
1305 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1327 are no longer allowed for defaults
1328 - added tests for this
1330 * Class::MOP::Package
1331 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1332 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1333 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1335 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1337 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1338 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1339 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1340 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1342 * Class::MOP::Package
1343 - refactored entire class, this is now
1344 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1345 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1346 - added many tests for this

1353 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1355 * Class::MOP::Module
1356 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1357 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1358 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1359 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1360 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1361 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1362 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1363 - added tests for this

1379 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1381 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1382 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1383 the value of the attribute for a particular
1386 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1387 ---------------------------------------
1388 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1389 to introduce the immutable features which
1390 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1391 This support should still be considered
1392 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1393 ---------------------------------------
1395 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1397 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1398 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1399 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1402 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1403 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1404 ::Package and now inherited
1405 - added tests for this
1407 * Class::MOP::Instance
1408 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1409 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1410 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1411 instance creation (of course)
1414 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1415 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1416 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1417 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1418 table manipulation methods.
1420 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1421 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1423 - small change in &create so that it behaves
1424 properly when inherited
1425 - small fix to &clone_instance
1427 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1428 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1429 - This release works in combination with
1430 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1431 because it introduces a new instance
1432 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1436 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1437 - added tests for this
1438 - improved method modifier wrapping
1440 * Class::MOP::Instance

1479 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1480 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1481 delegates appropriately
1483 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1484 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1485 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1486 called initialize_instance_slot

1515 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1517 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from

1521 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1522 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1523 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1525 * Class::MOP::Method

1527 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1528 which were formerly private subs in
1531 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1532 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1533 before, after and around modifiers
1534 - added tests and docs for this feature

1549 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1550 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1554 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test

1560 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1563 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1564 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1565 - added docs and tests
1567 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1568 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1569 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1570 be considered "ready to use".
1572 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1573 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1574 - test coverage is now at 99%
1577 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1578 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1579 metaclass pragma instead.
1582 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1583 error/edge-case tests
1585 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1586 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the

1592 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1594 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1595 metaclass a little more straightforward
1598 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1599 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1600 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1601 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1605 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1606 is now more useful for subclasses
1607 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1608 hash of attribute meta objects
1609 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1610 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1611 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1612 attribute meta-object itself
1613 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1614 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1615 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1616 - added docs & tests for this
1617 - added Clone as a dependency
1618 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
1619 return blessed new or cloned instances
1620 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1621 - added docs & tests for this
1622 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1623 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1624 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1625 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1626 - added tests and docs for this
1629 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1631 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1633 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006

1643 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1644 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1645 - added new example:
