3 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
4 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
5 - This release works in combination with
6 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
7 because it introduces a new instance
8 sub-protocol and has not yet been
12 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
13 - added tests for this
14 - improved method modifier wrapping
16 * Class::MOP::Instance
17 - added new instance protocol
18 - added tests for this
19 - changed all relevant modules and examples
21 - Class::MOP::Attribute
25 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
26 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
28 - updated tests for this
31 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
32 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
34 - added tests for this
35 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
37 - added more tests for this
39 0.26 Mon. April 24, 2006
41 - added find_attribute_by_name method
42 - added tests and docs for this
43 - some small optimizations
45 * Class::MOP::Attribute
46 - some small optimizations
48 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
50 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
51 - added tests for this
52 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
53 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
54 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
55 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
56 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
57 delegates appropriately
59 * Class::MOP::Attribute
60 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
61 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
62 called initialize_instance_slot
65 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
66 initialize_instance_slot method
68 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
70 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
71 modifiers get named with Sub::Name
73 0.23 Thurs. March 30, 2006
75 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
76 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
78 * Class::MOP::Attribute
79 - read-only accessors ('reader') will now die if
80 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
82 - added tests for this
83 - adjusted all /example files to comply
85 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
87 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
88 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
89 - added test case for this
91 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
93 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
94 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
95 available in DESTORY calls
97 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
98 - removed the dependency for Clone since
99 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
102 - added &package_name, &name and
103 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
104 which were formerly private subs in
107 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
108 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
109 before, after and around modifiers
110 - added tests and docs for this feature
113 - improved &get_package_variable
114 - &version and &superclasses now use it
115 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
117 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
118 - &add_before_method_modifier
119 - &add_after_method_modifier
120 - &add_around_method_modifier
121 - added tests and docs for these
122 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
123 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
125 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
126 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
130 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
131 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
132 the test skip if it is not installed
134 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
136 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
139 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
140 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
141 - added docs and tests
143 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
144 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
145 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
146 be considered "ready to use".
148 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
149 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
150 - test coverage is now at 99%
153 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
154 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
155 metaclass pragma instead.
158 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
159 error/edge-case tests
161 * Class::MOP::Attribute
162 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
163 error/edge-case tests
166 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
168 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
170 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
171 metaclass a little more straightforward
174 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
175 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
176 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
177 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
181 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
182 is now more useful for subclasses
183 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
184 hash of attribute meta objects
185 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
186 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
187 since all the same info can be gotten from the
188 attribute meta-object itself
189 - updated docs & tests to reflect
190 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
191 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
192 - added docs & tests for this
193 - added Clone as a dependency
194 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
195 return blessed new or cloned instances
196 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
197 - added docs & tests for this
198 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
199 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
200 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
201 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
202 - added tests and docs for this
205 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
207 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
209 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
211 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
212 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
213 attributes/methods respectively
216 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
219 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
220 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
224 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
226 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
228 * Class::MOP::Attribute
229 - improved error messages
232 - added new examples:
233 - AttributesWithHistory
234 - ClassEncapsultedAttributes
236 0.03 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
237 - converted to Module::Build instead of EU::MM
239 * Class::MOP::Attribute
240 - refactored method generation code
241 - attributes are now associated with class directly
244 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
245 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
246 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
247 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
248 namespaces really, they are just examples)
250 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
251 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
252 - adding POD documentation to the examples
254 0.01 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
