1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
6 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
10 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
11 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
12 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
14 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
16 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
18 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
20 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
24 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
26 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
30 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
31 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
33 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
37 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
38 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
40 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
41 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
43 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
45 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
46 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
47 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
49 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
51 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
53 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
54 modules (nothingmuch).
57 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
62 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
63 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
64 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
67 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
68 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
71 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
72 * Class::MOP::Attribute
73 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
74 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
75 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
76 attributes. (nothingmuch)
78 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
80 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
81 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
82 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
83 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
84 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
86 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
87 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
88 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
91 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
92 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
94 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
95 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
96 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
98 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
100 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
103 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
106 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
107 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
108 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
111 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
112 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
114 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
116 * Class::MOP::Package
117 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
120 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
121 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
123 * Class::MOP::Attribute
125 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
128 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
129 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
130 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
131 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
134 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
135 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
136 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
137 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
138 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
139 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
143 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
144 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
148 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
149 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
150 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
154 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
155 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
158 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
159 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
160 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
164 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
165 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
166 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
167 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
168 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
171 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
172 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
174 * Class::MOP::Instance
175 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
176 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
178 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
180 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
182 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
185 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
187 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
188 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
191 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
192 changed back in 0.82_01)
193 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
194 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
197 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
198 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
200 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
202 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
203 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
204 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
207 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
208 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
211 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
212 * Class::MOP::Attribute
213 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
215 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
216 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
217 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
220 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
223 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
224 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
225 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
226 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
227 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
230 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
233 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
235 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
239 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
240 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
241 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
242 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
246 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
249 * Class::MOP::Package
250 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
253 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
256 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
258 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
261 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
262 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
263 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
264 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
267 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
268 was removed in 0.82_01.
270 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
271 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
272 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
273 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
274 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
275 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
276 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
277 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
278 for the Moose compatibility handling code
279 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
281 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
283 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
284 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
286 * Class::MOP::Immutable
287 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
288 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
289 provides its own constructor (doy)
291 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
294 * Class::MOP::Instance
295 * Class::MOP::Attribute
296 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
297 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
298 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
299 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
302 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
303 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
305 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
307 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
308 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
310 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
311 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
312 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
313 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
314 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
317 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
318 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
319 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
320 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
321 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
322 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
323 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
325 - Class::MOP::Instance
326 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
330 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
331 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
332 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
334 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
335 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
336 when an object is constructed)
337 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
339 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
340 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
341 when an object is constructed)
342 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
343 - attributes => _attributes
344 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
346 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
348 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
349 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
350 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
353 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
354 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
355 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
358 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
359 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
360 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
361 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
365 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
366 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
367 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
368 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
369 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
370 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
372 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
373 * No changes from 0.78_02.
375 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
377 * Class::MOP::Immutable
378 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
379 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
380 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
381 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
385 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
386 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
389 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
390 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
391 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
393 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
395 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
396 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
399 * Class::MOP::Instance
400 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
401 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
402 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
403 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
405 * Class::MOP::Attribute
406 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
407 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
408 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
410 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
411 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
412 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
416 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
417 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
418 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
419 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
421 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
422 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
423 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
424 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
425 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
426 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
427 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
428 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
429 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
432 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
433 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
436 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
438 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
439 * No changes from 0.77_01
441 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
443 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
444 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
445 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
446 against the pure Perl version of this code.
448 * Class::MOP::Instance
449 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
450 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
453 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
455 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
459 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
460 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
464 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
465 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
467 * Class::MOP::Package
468 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
469 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
472 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
476 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
477 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
478 near future release. You've been warned.
480 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
481 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
482 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
483 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
485 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
486 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
489 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
490 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
493 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
496 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
497 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
499 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
501 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
502 sharing an immutable transformer object
503 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
504 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
506 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
508 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
509 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
510 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
511 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
513 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
514 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
516 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
518 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
519 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
521 * t/082_get_code_info.t
522 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
523 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
524 succeed in that case.
526 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
527 * Class::MOP::Package
528 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
531 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
532 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
534 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
535 * Class::MOP::Immutable
536 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
537 the constructor was inlined.
538 * Class::MOP::Package
539 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
540 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
541 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
543 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
544 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
546 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
548 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
549 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
550 * Class::MOP::Immutable
551 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
552 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
553 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
556 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
557 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
558 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
559 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
560 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
561 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
562 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
563 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
564 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
565 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
567 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
570 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
571 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
574 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
576 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
577 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
579 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
581 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
582 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
583 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
586 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
587 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
588 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
591 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
593 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
594 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
596 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
597 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
598 times in an eval. (t0m)
600 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
602 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
603 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
604 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
605 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
606 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
607 - added test for this
609 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
610 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
611 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
614 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
615 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
619 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
620 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
621 aliased methods and "real" methods.
623 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
624 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
625 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
626 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
629 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
630 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
633 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
634 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
635 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
636 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
637 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
638 for sad systems without a compiler.
641 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
642 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
645 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
646 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
647 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
649 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
651 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
652 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
653 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
654 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
656 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
657 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
658 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
659 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
661 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
663 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
664 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
667 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
668 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
669 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
671 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
673 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
675 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
676 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
677 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
679 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
680 * Class::MOP::Package
681 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
682 releases. (nothingmuch)
685 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
687 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
688 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
689 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
692 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
695 * Class::MOP::Instance
696 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
698 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
700 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
701 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
702 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
703 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
706 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
707 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
711 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
712 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
713 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
714 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
715 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
718 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
719 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
720 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
723 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
724 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
725 consistency (nothingmuch)
726 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
728 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
729 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
730 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
731 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
734 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
735 * Class::MOP::Immutable
736 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
738 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
740 * Class::MOP::Instance
741 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
742 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
744 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
746 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
747 the class is already loaded (sartak)
748 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
749 instead of just 1 (sartak)
752 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
754 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
755 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
756 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
758 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
759 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
760 recognizes it correct this time.
762 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
763 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
766 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
767 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
770 - now stores the instance of the instance
771 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
772 and deletes it when the cache is blown
773 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
774 the options used to make it immutable as well as
775 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
777 * Class::MOP::Package
778 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
779 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
780 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
784 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
786 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
787 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
789 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
790 names now throw a more direct error in
792 - tests for this and other aspects of
798 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
799 Class::MOP::Attribute
800 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
803 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
804 (late night release engineering)--
806 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
807 changes in this release
809 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
810 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
811 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
814 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
815 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
816 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
819 * Class::MOP::Package
820 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
822 - inlining a few calls to &name with
823 direct HASH access key access
824 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
825 a HASH of items based on a type filter
826 similar to list_all_package_symbols
827 - added tests for this
830 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
831 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
832 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
833 - added more descriptive error message to help
834 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
835 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
837 * Class::MOP::Immutable
838 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
840 - added tests for this
842 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
844 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
845 function from MRO::Compat
846 - All XS based functionality now has a
847 Pure Perl alternative
848 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
849 can now be used to force non-XS versions
852 * Class::MOP::Attribute
853 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
854 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
855 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
857 - added tests for this
859 * Class::MOP::Immutable
860 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
861 making the class immutable
864 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
865 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
866 allow for it to work.
867 - added tests for this
869 * Class::MOP::Attribute
871 Class::MOP::Immutable
872 - any time a method meta object is constructed
873 we make sure to pass the correct package and
874 method name information
877 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
878 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
879 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
880 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
881 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
882 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
883 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
884 throw an error if these are not supplied.
885 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
886 and now store the package_name and name attributes
889 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
890 Module::Install support has been removed
892 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
893 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
894 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
895 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
899 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
900 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
902 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
903 when it has no init_arg
904 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
905 to support c3 classes.
907 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
910 - making sure that load_class never gets
911 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
912 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
915 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
917 - improved error handling in ->create method
918 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
919 will be used to populate values
920 - added tests for this
923 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
924 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
930 Class::MOP::Attribute
931 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
932 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
934 * Class::MOP::Instance
935 Class::MOP::Immutable
936 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
939 - fixed the filename length on several
940 test files so we install on VMS better
942 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
943 should be catfile (RT #32385)
945 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
946 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
949 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
950 Class::MOP::Attribute
951 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
952 to indicate that no constructor args can
953 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
954 - added tests for this
955 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
958 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
959 feature instead of the silly hack from
960 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
962 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
964 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
967 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
968 - removed assumptions about the existence of
971 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
972 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
973 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
976 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
977 constant so that we can take advantage
978 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
981 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
982 optimize the &linearized_isa method
983 and avoid the hack/check for circular
984 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
985 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
986 - added tests for this
988 * Class::MOP::Immutable
989 - the immutable class now keeps track of
990 the transformer which immutablized it
992 * Class::MOP::Instance
993 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
994 - added tests for this
996 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
998 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
999 transformation arguments are saved
1001 - added tests for this
1003 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1004 - fixed a bug (see above)
1006 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1009 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1010 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1011 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1014 - removed the dependency on B
1015 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1016 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1017 the B fiddling we were doing with
1018 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1019 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1020 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1021 be used to help manage method caching.
1024 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1025 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1026 even more accurate caching information.
1027 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1030 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1031 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1032 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1033 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1035 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1036 of the new method map caching features
1038 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1039 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1040 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1041 HASH ref case, which makes the
1042 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1043 - added more tests for this
1045 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1046 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1047 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1048 - added more tests for this
1050 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1052 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1053 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1054 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1056 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1057 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1058 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1059 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1061 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1062 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1063 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1065 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1066 - Apparently I didn't make dist correctly (groditi)
1068 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1070 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1073 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1074 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1075 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1076 call through (groditi)
1078 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1079 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1080 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1081 it is defined (groditi)
1083 * Class::MOP::Instance
1084 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1085 it is defined (groditi)
1087 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1088 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1089 - removed the relevant attributes
1091 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1092 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1093 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1094 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1096 - added tests for this
1097 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1098 non-inlined constructors.
1099 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1101 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1102 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1103 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1104 - added tests for this
1107 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1108 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1111 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1113 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1114 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1116 * Class::MOP::Package
1117 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1120 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1122 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1124 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1125 it manually now so that people can use this
1126 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1128 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1130 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1131 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1132 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1135 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1136 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1137 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1138 - removed unused variable
1139 - added create_immutable_transformer
1140 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1141 - tests for this (groditi)
1144 - Immutability can now be undone,
1145 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1146 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1147 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1148 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1149 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1150 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1151 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1152 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1153 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1155 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1156 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1158 * Class::MOP::Package
1159 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1160 - added tests for this
1161 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1163 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1164 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1165 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1167 - added tests and POD for this
1170 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1171 handles undef values correctly.
1172 - added tests for this
1173 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1174 will not get reaped when instances still
1175 exist which need to reference them. This is
1176 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1177 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1178 many work arounds out in the wild.
1179 - added tests for this by groditi
1180 - updated docs to explain this
1183 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1184 - added tests for this behavior
1186 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1187 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1190 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1191 - added tests and docs for these
1193 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1194 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1195 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1199 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1204 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1205 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1206 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1207 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1208 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1211 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1213 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1214 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1215 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1218 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1219 immutable transformation instead of
1220 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1222 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1223 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1224 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1225 be coming eventually.
1228 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1230 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1231 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1235 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1238 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1240 - constructor generation is now handled by
1241 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1243 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1244 - created this to handle constructor generation
1245 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1247 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1249 - attributes now delegate to the
1250 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1253 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1254 - all accessor generation functions from
1255 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1257 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1259 * scripts/class_browser.pl
1260 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1261 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1265 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1266 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1267 they are aliased from the originals
1268 - fixed tests to reflect
1269 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1271 - adjusted tests for this
1272 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1275 * Class::MOP::Method
1277 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1278 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1279 - adjusted tests to compensate
1280 - adjusted docs for this
1283 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1284 encapsulate most of the work into the
1285 &get_method_map method
1286 - made several adjustments for the change
1287 in Class::MOP::Method
1288 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1289 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1290 old one before installing the new one
1291 - added tests for this
1292 - adjusted docs for this
1294 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1295 - added caching of &get_method_map
1296 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1297 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
1299 * Class::MOP::Package
1300 - added filtering capabilities to
1301 &list_all_package_symbols
1303 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1305 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1306 the $:version and such just actually goes
1307 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1308 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1310 - The &create method now requires that all
1311 but the package name now is passed in as
1312 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1313 - updated docs and tests for this
1315 * Class::MOP::Object
1316 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1320 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes

1337 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1338 are no longer allowed for defaults
1339 - added tests for this
1341 * Class::MOP::Package
1342 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1343 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1344 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1346 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1348 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1349 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1350 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1351 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1353 * Class::MOP::Package
1354 - refactored entire class, this is now
1355 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1356 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1357 - added many tests for this
1358 - this class is now a subclass of
1360 - added some tests to reflect this
1363 - refactored all symbol table access to
1364 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1366 * Class::MOP::Module
1367 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1368 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1369 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1370 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1371 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1372 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1373 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1374 - added tests for this
1376 * Class::MOP::Instance
1377 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots

1383 slots from an instance
1384 - added tests for this
1386 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
1389 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1390 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1392 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1393 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1394 the value of the attribute for a particular
1397 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1398 ---------------------------------------
1399 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1400 to introduce the immutable features which
1401 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1402 This support should still be considered
1403 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1404 ---------------------------------------
1406 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1408 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1409 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1410 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1413 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1414 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1415 ::Package and now inherited
1416 - added tests for this
1418 * Class::MOP::Instance
1419 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1420 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1421 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1422 instance creation (of course)
1425 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1426 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1427 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1428 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1429 table manipulation methods.
1431 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1432 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1434 - small change in &create so that it behaves

1440 - This release works in combination with
1441 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1442 because it introduces a new instance
1443 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1447 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1448 - added tests for this
1449 - improved method modifier wrapping
1451 * Class::MOP::Instance
1452 - added new instance protocol
1453 - added tests for this
1454 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1456 - Class::MOP::Attribute
1460 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
1461 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1463 - updated tests for this
1466 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1467 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
1469 - added tests for this
1470 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
1471 new instance protocol
1472 - added more tests for this
1474 0.26 Mon. April 24, 2006
1476 - added find_attribute_by_name method
1477 - added tests and docs for this
1478 - some small optimizations
1480 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1481 - some small optimizations
1483 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
1485 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
1486 - added tests for this
1487 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1488 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1489 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1490 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1491 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1492 delegates appropriately
1494 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1495 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1496 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1497 called initialize_instance_slot
1500 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
1501 initialize_instance_slot method
1503 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
1505 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
1506 modifiers get named with Sub::Name
1508 0.23 Thurs. March 30, 2006
1510 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
1511 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)

1518 - adjusted all /example files to comply
1520 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
1522 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
1523 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
1524 - added test case for this
1526 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1528 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1529 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1530 available in DESTORY calls
1532 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1533 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1534 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1536 * Class::MOP::Method
1537 - added &package_name, &name and
1538 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1539 which were formerly private subs in
1542 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1543 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1544 before, after and around modifiers
1545 - added tests and docs for this feature
1548 - improved &get_package_symbol
1549 - &version and &superclasses now use it
1550 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
1552 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
1553 - &add_before_method_modifier
1554 - &add_after_method_modifier
1555 - &add_around_method_modifier
1556 - added tests and docs for these
1557 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
1558 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
1560 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1561 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1565 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
1566 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
1567 the test skip if it is not installed
1569 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
1571 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1574 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1575 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1576 - added docs and tests
1578 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1579 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1580 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1581 be considered "ready to use".
1583 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1584 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1585 - test coverage is now at 99%
1588 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1589 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1590 metaclass pragma instead.
1593 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1594 error/edge-case tests
1596 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1597 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1598 error/edge-case tests
1601 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
1603 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1605 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1606 metaclass a little more straightforward
1609 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1610 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1611 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1612 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1616 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1617 is now more useful for subclasses
1618 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1619 hash of attribute meta objects
1620 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1621 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1622 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1623 attribute meta-object itself
1624 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1625 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1626 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1627 - added docs & tests for this
1628 - added Clone as a dependency
1629 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
1630 return blessed new or cloned instances
1631 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1632 - added docs & tests for this
1633 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1634 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1635 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1636 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1637 - added tests and docs for this
1640 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1642 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1644 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
1646 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
1647 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1648 attributes/methods respectively
1651 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1654 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1655 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1656 - added new example:
1659 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1661 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
1663 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1664 - improved error messages

1679 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
1680 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
1681 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
1682 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
1683 namespaces really, they are just examples)
1685 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
1686 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1687 - adding POD documentation to the examples
