1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
6 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
10 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
11 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
12 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
13 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
15 1.01 Thu, May 26, 2010
19 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
20 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
24 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
25 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
26 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
28 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
30 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
32 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
34 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
38 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
40 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
44 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
45 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
47 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
51 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
52 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
54 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
55 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
57 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
59 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
60 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
61 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
63 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
65 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
67 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
68 modules (nothingmuch).
71 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
76 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
77 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
78 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
81 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
82 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
85 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
86 * Class::MOP::Attribute
87 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
88 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
89 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
90 attributes. (nothingmuch)
92 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
94 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
95 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
96 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
97 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
98 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
100 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
101 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
102 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
104 * Class::MOP::Package
105 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
106 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
108 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
109 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
110 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
112 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
113 * Class::MOP::Package
114 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
117 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
120 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
121 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
122 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
125 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
126 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
128 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
130 * Class::MOP::Package
131 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
134 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
135 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
137 * Class::MOP::Attribute
139 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
142 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
143 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
144 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
145 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
148 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
149 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
150 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
151 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
152 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
153 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
157 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
158 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
162 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
163 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
164 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
168 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
169 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
172 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
173 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
174 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
178 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
179 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
180 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
181 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
182 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
185 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
186 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
188 * Class::MOP::Instance
189 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
190 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
192 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
194 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
196 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
199 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
201 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
202 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
205 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
206 changed back in 0.82_01)
207 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
208 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
211 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
212 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
214 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
216 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
217 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
218 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
221 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
222 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
225 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
226 * Class::MOP::Attribute
227 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
229 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
230 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
231 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
234 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
237 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
238 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
239 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
240 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
241 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
244 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
247 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
249 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
253 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
254 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
255 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
256 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
260 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
263 * Class::MOP::Package
264 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
267 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
270 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
272 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
275 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
276 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
277 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
278 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
281 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
282 was removed in 0.82_01.
284 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
285 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
286 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
287 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
288 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
289 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
290 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
291 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
292 for the Moose compatibility handling code
293 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
295 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
297 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
298 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
300 * Class::MOP::Immutable
301 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
302 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
303 provides its own constructor (doy)
305 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
308 * Class::MOP::Instance
309 * Class::MOP::Attribute
310 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
311 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
312 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
313 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
316 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
317 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
319 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
321 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
322 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
324 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
325 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
326 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
327 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
328 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
331 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
332 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
333 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
334 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
335 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
336 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
337 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
339 - Class::MOP::Instance
340 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
344 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
345 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
346 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
348 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
349 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
350 when an object is constructed)
351 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
353 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
354 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
355 when an object is constructed)
356 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
357 - attributes => _attributes
358 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
360 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
362 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
363 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
364 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
367 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
368 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
369 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
372 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
373 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
374 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
375 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
379 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
380 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
381 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
382 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
383 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
384 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
386 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
387 * No changes from 0.78_02.
389 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
391 * Class::MOP::Immutable
392 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
393 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
394 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
395 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
399 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
400 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
403 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
404 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
405 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
407 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
409 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
410 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
413 * Class::MOP::Instance
414 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
415 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
416 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
417 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
419 * Class::MOP::Attribute
420 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
421 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
422 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
424 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
425 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
426 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
430 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
431 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
432 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
433 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
435 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
436 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
437 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
438 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
439 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
440 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
441 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
442 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
443 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
446 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
447 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
450 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
452 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
453 * No changes from 0.77_01
455 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
457 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
458 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
459 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
460 against the pure Perl version of this code.
462 * Class::MOP::Instance
463 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
464 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
467 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
469 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
473 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
474 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
478 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
479 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
481 * Class::MOP::Package
482 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
483 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
486 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
490 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
491 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
492 near future release. You've been warned.
494 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
495 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
496 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
497 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
499 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
500 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
503 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
504 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
507 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
510 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
511 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
513 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
515 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
516 sharing an immutable transformer object
517 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
518 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
520 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
522 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
523 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
524 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
525 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
527 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
528 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
530 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
532 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
533 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
535 * t/082_get_code_info.t
536 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
537 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
538 succeed in that case.
540 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
541 * Class::MOP::Package
542 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
545 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
546 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
548 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
549 * Class::MOP::Immutable
550 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
551 the constructor was inlined.
552 * Class::MOP::Package
553 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
554 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
555 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
557 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
558 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
560 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
562 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
563 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
564 * Class::MOP::Immutable
565 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
566 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
567 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
570 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
571 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
572 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
573 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
574 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
575 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
576 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
577 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
578 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
579 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
581 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
584 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
585 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
588 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
590 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
591 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
593 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
595 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
596 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
597 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
600 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
601 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
602 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
605 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
607 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
608 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
610 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
611 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
612 times in an eval. (t0m)
614 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
616 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
617 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
618 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
619 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
620 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
621 - added test for this
623 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
624 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
625 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
628 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
629 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
633 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
634 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
635 aliased methods and "real" methods.
637 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
638 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
639 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
640 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
643 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
644 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
647 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
648 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
649 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
650 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
651 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
652 for sad systems without a compiler.
655 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
656 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
659 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
660 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
661 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
663 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
665 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
666 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
667 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
668 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
670 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
671 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
672 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
673 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
675 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
677 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
678 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
681 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
682 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
683 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
685 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
687 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
689 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
690 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
691 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
693 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
694 * Class::MOP::Package
695 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
696 releases. (nothingmuch)
699 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
701 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
702 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
703 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
706 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
709 * Class::MOP::Instance
710 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
712 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
714 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
715 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
716 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
717 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
720 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
721 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
725 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
726 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
727 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
728 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
729 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
732 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
733 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
734 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
737 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
738 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
739 consistency (nothingmuch)
740 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
742 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
743 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
744 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
745 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
748 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
749 * Class::MOP::Immutable
750 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
752 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
754 * Class::MOP::Instance
755 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
756 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
758 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
760 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
761 the class is already loaded (sartak)
762 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
763 instead of just 1 (sartak)
766 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
768 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
769 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
770 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
772 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
773 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
774 recognizes it correct this time.
776 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
777 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
780 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
781 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
784 - now stores the instance of the instance
785 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
786 and deletes it when the cache is blown
787 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
788 the options used to make it immutable as well as
789 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
791 * Class::MOP::Package
792 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
793 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
794 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
798 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
800 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
801 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
803 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
804 names now throw a more direct error in
806 - tests for this and other aspects of
812 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
813 Class::MOP::Attribute
814 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
817 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
818 (late night release engineering)--
820 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
821 changes in this release
823 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
824 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
825 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
828 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
829 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
830 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
833 * Class::MOP::Package
834 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
836 - inlining a few calls to &name with
837 direct HASH access key access
838 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
839 a HASH of items based on a type filter
840 similar to list_all_package_symbols
841 - added tests for this
844 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
845 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
846 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
847 - added more descriptive error message to help
848 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
849 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
851 * Class::MOP::Immutable
852 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
854 - added tests for this
856 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
858 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
859 function from MRO::Compat
860 - All XS based functionality now has a
861 Pure Perl alternative
862 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
863 can now be used to force non-XS versions
866 * Class::MOP::Attribute

873 * Class::MOP::Immutable
874 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
875 making the class immutable

879 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
880 allow for it to work.
881 - added tests for this
883 * Class::MOP::Attribute
885 Class::MOP::Immutable
886 - any time a method meta object is constructed
887 we make sure to pass the correct package and
888 method name information
891 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
892 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
893 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
894 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
895 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
896 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
897 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
898 throw an error if these are not supplied.
899 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
900 and now store the package_name and name attributes
903 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
904 Module::Install support has been removed
906 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
907 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
908 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
909 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
913 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
914 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
916 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
917 when it has no init_arg
918 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
919 to support c3 classes.
921 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
924 - making sure that load_class never gets
925 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
926 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
929 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
931 - improved error handling in ->create method
932 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
933 will be used to populate values
934 - added tests for this
937 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
938 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
944 Class::MOP::Attribute
945 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
946 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
948 * Class::MOP::Instance
949 Class::MOP::Immutable
950 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
953 - fixed the filename length on several
954 test files so we install on VMS better
956 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
957 should be catfile (RT #32385)
959 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
960 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
963 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
964 Class::MOP::Attribute
965 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
966 to indicate that no constructor args can
967 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
968 - added tests for this
969 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
972 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
973 feature instead of the silly hack from
974 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
976 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
978 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
981 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
982 - removed assumptions about the existence of
985 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
986 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
987 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
990 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
991 constant so that we can take advantage
992 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
995 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
996 optimize the &linearized_isa method
997 and avoid the hack/check for circular
998 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
999 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1000 - added tests for this
1002 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1003 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1004 the transformer which immutablized it
1006 * Class::MOP::Instance
1007 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1008 - added tests for this
1010 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1012 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1013 transformation arguments are saved
1015 - added tests for this
1017 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1018 - fixed a bug (see above)
1020 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1023 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1024 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1025 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1028 - removed the dependency on B
1029 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1030 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1031 the B fiddling we were doing with
1032 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1033 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1034 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1035 be used to help manage method caching.
1038 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1039 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1040 even more accurate caching information.
1041 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1044 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1045 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1046 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1047 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1049 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1050 of the new method map caching features
1052 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1053 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1054 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1055 HASH ref case, which makes the
1056 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1057 - added more tests for this
1059 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1060 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1061 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1062 - added more tests for this
1064 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1066 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1067 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1068 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1070 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1071 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1072 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1073 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1075 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1076 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1077 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1079 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1082 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1084 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1087 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1088 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1089 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1090 call through (groditi)
1092 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1093 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1094 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1095 it is defined (groditi)
1097 * Class::MOP::Instance
1098 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1099 it is defined (groditi)
1101 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1102 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1103 - removed the relevant attributes
1105 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1106 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1107 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1108 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1110 - added tests for this
1111 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1112 non-inlined constructors.
1113 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1115 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1116 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1117 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1118 - added tests for this
1121 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1122 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1125 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1127 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1128 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1130 * Class::MOP::Package
1131 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1134 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1136 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1138 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1139 it manually now so that people can use this
1140 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1142 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1144 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1145 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1146 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1149 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1150 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1151 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1152 - removed unused variable
1153 - added create_immutable_transformer
1154 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1155 - tests for this (groditi)
1158 - Immutability can now be undone,
1159 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1160 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1161 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1162 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1163 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1164 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1165 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1166 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1167 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1169 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1170 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1172 * Class::MOP::Package
1173 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1178 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1179 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1181 - added tests and POD for this
1184 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1185 handles undef values correctly.
1186 - added tests for this
1187 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1188 will not get reaped when instances still
1189 exist which need to reference them. This is
1190 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1191 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1192 many work arounds out in the wild.
1193 - added tests for this by groditi
1194 - updated docs to explain this
1197 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1198 - added tests for this behavior
1200 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1201 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1204 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1205 - added tests and docs for these
1207 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1208 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1209 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1213 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1218 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1219 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1220 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1221 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1222 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1225 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1227 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1228 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1229 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1232 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1233 immutable transformation instead of
1234 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1236 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1237 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1238 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1239 be coming eventually.
1242 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1244 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1245 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1249 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1252 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1254 - constructor generation is now handled by
1255 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1257 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1258 - created this to handle constructor generation
1259 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1261 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1263 - attributes now delegate to the
1264 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1267 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1268 - all accessor generation functions from
1269 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1271 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1274 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1275 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1279 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1280 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1281 they are aliased from the originals
1282 - fixed tests to reflect
1283 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1285 - adjusted tests for this
1286 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1289 * Class::MOP::Method
1291 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1292 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1293 - adjusted tests to compensate
1294 - adjusted docs for this
1297 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1298 encapsulate most of the work into the
1299 &get_method_map method
1300 - made several adjustments for the change
1301 in Class::MOP::Method
1302 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1303 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1304 old one before installing the new one
1305 - added tests for this
1306 - adjusted docs for this
1308 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1309 - added caching of &get_method_map
1310 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1311 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1314 - added filtering capabilities to
1315 &list_all_package_symbols
1317 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1319 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1320 the $:version and such just actually goes
1321 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1322 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1324 - The &create method now requires that all
1325 but the package name now is passed in as
1326 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1327 - updated docs and tests for this
1329 * Class::MOP::Object
1330 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1351 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1352 are no longer allowed for defaults
1353 - added tests for this
1355 * Class::MOP::Package
1356 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1357 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1358 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1360 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1362 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1363 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1364 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1365 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1367 * Class::MOP::Package
1368 - refactored entire class, this is now
1369 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1370 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1371 - added many tests for this
1372 - this class is now a subclass of
1374 - added some tests to reflect this

1378 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1380 * Class::MOP::Module
1381 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1382 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1383 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1384 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1385 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1386 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness

1404 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1406 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1407 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1408 the value of the attribute for a particular
1411 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1412 ---------------------------------------
1413 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1414 to introduce the immutable features which
1415 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1416 This support should still be considered
1417 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1418 ---------------------------------------
1420 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1422 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1423 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1424 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1427 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1428 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1429 ::Package and now inherited
1430 - added tests for this
1432 * Class::MOP::Instance
1433 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1434 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1435 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1436 instance creation (of course)
1439 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1440 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1441 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1442 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1443 table manipulation methods.
1445 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1446 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1448 - small change in &create so that it behaves
1449 properly when inherited
1450 - small fix to &clone_instance
1452 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1453 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1454 - This release works in combination with
1455 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1456 because it introduces a new instance
1457 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1461 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1462 - added tests for this
1463 - improved method modifier wrapping
1465 * Class::MOP::Instance
1466 - added new instance protocol
1467 - added tests for this
1468 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1470 - Class::MOP::Attribute
1474 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
1475 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1477 - updated tests for this
1480 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1481 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
1483 - added tests for this
1484 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
1485 new instance protocol

1500 - added tests for this
1501 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1502 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1503 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1504 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1505 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1506 delegates appropriately
1508 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1509 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1510 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1511 called initialize_instance_slot
1514 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
1515 initialize_instance_slot method
1517 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1538 - added test case for this
1540 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1542 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1543 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1544 available in DESTORY calls
1546 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1547 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1548 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1550 * Class::MOP::Method
1551 - added &package_name, &name and
1552 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1553 which were formerly private subs in
1556 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1557 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1558 before, after and around modifiers
1559 - added tests and docs for this feature
1562 - improved &get_package_symbol
1563 - &version and &superclasses now use it
1564 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method

1569 - &add_around_method_modifier
1570 - added tests and docs for these
1571 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
1572 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
1574 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1575 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1579 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
1580 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
1581 the test skip if it is not installed
1583 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
1585 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1588 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1589 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1590 - added docs and tests
1592 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1593 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1594 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1595 be considered "ready to use".
1597 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1598 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1599 - test coverage is now at 99%
1602 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1603 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1604 metaclass pragma instead.
1607 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1608 error/edge-case tests
1610 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1611 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the

1617 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1619 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1620 metaclass a little more straightforward
1623 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1624 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1625 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1626 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1630 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1631 is now more useful for subclasses
1632 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1633 hash of attribute meta objects
1634 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1635 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1636 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1637 attribute meta-object itself
1638 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1639 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1640 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1641 - added docs & tests for this
1642 - added Clone as a dependency

1644 return blessed new or cloned instances
1645 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1646 - added docs & tests for this
1647 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1648 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1649 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1650 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1651 - added tests and docs for this
1654 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1656 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1658 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006

1661 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1662 attributes/methods respectively
1665 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1668 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1669 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1670 - added new example:
1673 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1675 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6

1700 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1701 - adding POD documentation to the examples
