1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
3 0.64_05 Sat August 23, 2008
5 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
6 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
10 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
11 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
13 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
15 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
17 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
18 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
19 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
21 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
23 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
24 releases. (nothingmuch)
27 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
29 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
30 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
31 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
34 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
37 * Class::MOP::Instance
38 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
40 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
42 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
43 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
44 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
45 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
48 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
49 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
53 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
54 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
55 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
56 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
57 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
60 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
61 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
62 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
65 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
66 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
67 consistency (nothingmuch)
68 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
70 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
71 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
72 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
73 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
76 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
77 * Class::MOP::Immutable
78 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
80 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
82 * Class::MOP::Instance
83 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
84 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
88 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
89 the class is already loaded (sartak)
90 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
91 instead of just 1 (sartak)
94 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
96 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
97 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
98 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
100 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
101 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
102 recognizes it correct this time.
104 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
105 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
108 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
109 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
112 - now stores the instance of the instance
113 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
114 and deletes it when the cache is blown
115 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
116 the options used to make it immutable as well as
117 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
119 * Class::MOP::Package
120 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
121 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
122 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
126 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
128 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
129 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
131 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
132 names now throw a more direct error in
134 - tests for this and other aspects of
140 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
141 Class::MOP::Attribute
142 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
145 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
146 (late night release engineering)--
148 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
149 changes in this release
151 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
152 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
153 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
156 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
157 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
158 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
161 * Class::MOP::Package
162 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
164 - inlining a few calls to &name with
165 direct HASH access key access
166 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
167 a HASH of items based on a type filter
168 similar to list_all_package_symbols
169 - added tests for this
172 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
173 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
174 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
175 - added more descriptive error message to help
176 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
177 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
179 * Class::MOP::Immutable
180 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
182 - added tests for this
184 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
186 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
187 function from MRO::Compat
188 - All XS based functionality now has a
189 Pure Perl alternative
190 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
191 can now be used to force non-XS versions
194 * Class::MOP::Attribute

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

288 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
291 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

294 to indicate that no constructor args can
295 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
296 - added tests for this
297 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
300 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
301 feature instead of the silly hack from
302 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
304 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
306 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
309 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
310 - removed assumptions about the existence of
313 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
314 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
315 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
318 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
319 constant so that we can take advantage
320 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
323 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
324 optimize the &linearized_isa method
325 and avoid the hack/check for circular
326 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
327 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
328 - added tests for this
330 * Class::MOP::Immutable
331 - the immutable class now keeps track of

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

387 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
388 * Class::MOP::Attribute
389 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
390 - added more tests for this
392 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
394 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
395 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
396 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
398 * Class::MOP::Attribute
399 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
400 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
401 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
403 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
404 * Class::MOP::Attribute
405 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
407 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

412 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
415 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
416 construct_class_instance (groditi)
417 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
418 call through (groditi)
420 * Class::MOP::Attribute
421 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
422 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
423 it is defined (groditi)

431 - removed the relevant attributes
433 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
434 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
435 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
436 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
438 - added tests for this
439 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
440 non-inlined constructors.
441 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
443 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
444 - added this class as an abstract base for the
445 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes

458 * Class::MOP::Package
459 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
462 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
464 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
466 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
467 it manually now so that people can use this
468 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
470 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
472 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
473 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
474 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
477 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
478 * Class::MOP::Immutable
479 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
480 - removed unused variable
481 - added create_immutable_transformer
482 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
483 - tests for this (groditi)
486 - Immutability can now be undone,
487 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
488 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
489 for details see comments next to make_immutable
490 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
491 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
492 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
493 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
494 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
495 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
497 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
498 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
500 * Class::MOP::Package
501 - we now deal with stub methods properly
502 - added tests for this
503 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
505 * Class::MOP::Attribute
506 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
507 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
509 - added tests and POD for this
512 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
513 handles undef values correctly.
514 - added tests for this
515 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
516 will not get reaped when instances still
517 exist which need to reference them. This is
518 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
519 obscure enough feature that there are not too
520 many work arounds out in the wild.
521 - added tests for this by groditi
522 - updated docs to explain this
525 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
526 - added tests for this behavior
528 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
529 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
532 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
533 - added tests and docs for these
535 * Class::MOP::Attribute
536 - default now checks the instance with defined to
537 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
541 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
547 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
548 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
549 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
550 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
553 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
555 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
556 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
557 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
560 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
561 immutable transformation instead of
562 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
564 + Class::MOP::Immutable
565 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
566 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
567 be coming eventually.
570 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
572 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
573 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
577 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
580 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
582 - constructor generation is now handled by
583 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
585 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
586 - created this to handle constructor generation
587 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
589 * Class::MOP::Attribute
591 - attributes now delegate to the
592 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
595 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
596 - all accessor generation functions from
597 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
599 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
601 * scripts/class_browser.pl
602 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
603 on this to come. Comments and patches are
607 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
608 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
609 they are aliased from the originals
610 - fixed tests to reflect
611 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
613 - adjusted tests for this
614 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
619 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
620 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
621 - adjusted tests to compensate
622 - adjusted docs for this
625 - changed how methods are dealt with to
626 encapsulate most of the work into the
627 &get_method_map method
628 - made several adjustments for the change
629 in Class::MOP::Method
630 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
631 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
632 old one before installing the new one
633 - added tests for this
634 - adjusted docs for this
636 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
637 - added caching of &get_method_map
638 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
639 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
641 * Class::MOP::Package
642 - added filtering capabilities to
643 &list_all_package_symbols
645 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
647 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
648 the $:version and such just actually goes
649 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
650 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
652 - The &create method now requires that all
653 but the package name now is passed in as
654 named parameters. See docs for more info.
655 - updated docs and tests for this
658 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
662 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
663 which do not store things in the instance
664 - added the %:methods attribute definition to
667 ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
669 0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
671 - moved the metaclass cache out of here
672 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
675 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
676 - fixed all tests for this
678 * Class::MOP::Attribute
679 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
680 are no longer allowed for defaults
681 - added tests for this
683 * Class::MOP::Package
684 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
685 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
686 always reloaded from the symbol table.
688 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
690 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
691 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
692 metamodel is more complete (and closer
693 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
695 * Class::MOP::Package
696 - refactored entire class, this is now
697 the primary gateway between the metaclass
698 and the Perl 5 symbol table
699 - added many tests for this
700 - this class is now a subclass of
702 - added some tests to reflect this
705 - refactored all symbol table access to
706 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
709 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
710 so that Module has a version as an attribute
711 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
712 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
713 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
714 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
715 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
716 - added tests for this
718 * Class::MOP::Instance
719 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots

732 anywhere within the class hierarchy
734 * Class::MOP::Attribute
735 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
736 the value of the attribute for a particular
739 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
740 ---------------------------------------
741 This is the first version of Class::MOP
742 to introduce the immutable features which
743 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
744 This support should still be considered
745 experimental, but moving towards stability.
746 ---------------------------------------
748 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
750 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
751 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
752 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
755 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
756 - several methods moved to ::Module and
757 ::Package and now inherited
758 - added tests for this
760 * Class::MOP::Instance
761 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
762 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
763 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
764 instance creation (of course)
767 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
768 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
769 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
770 because they are now more general purpose symbol
771 table manipulation methods.
773 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
774 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
776 - small change in &create so that it behaves
777 properly when inherited
778 - small fix to &clone_instance
780 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
781 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
782 - This release works in combination with
783 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
784 because it introduces a new instance
785 sub-protocol and has not yet been
789 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
790 - added tests for this

833 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
834 delegates appropriately
836 * Class::MOP::Attribute
837 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
838 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it

868 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
870 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
871 our cache in global destruction, and so are not

875 - removed the dependency for Clone since
876 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.

886 before, after and around modifiers
887 - added tests and docs for this feature

917 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
918 - added docs and tests
920 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
921 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
922 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
923 be considered "ready to use".
925 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
926 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
927 - test coverage is now at 99%
930 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
931 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
932 metaclass pragma instead.
935 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
936 error/edge-case tests
938 * Class::MOP::Attribute
939 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
940 error/edge-case tests

945 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
947 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
948 metaclass a little more straightforward
951 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
952 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
953 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
954 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
958 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
959 is now more useful for subclasses
960 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
961 hash of attribute meta objects
962 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
963 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
964 since all the same info can be gotten from the
965 attribute meta-object itself
966 - updated docs & tests to reflect
967 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
968 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
969 - added docs & tests for this
970 - added Clone as a dependency
971 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
972 return blessed new or cloned instances
973 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
974 - added docs & tests for this
975 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
976 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
977 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
978 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
979 - added tests and docs for this
982 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
984 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
986 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
988 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
989 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
990 attributes/methods respectively
993 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
996 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
997 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
