1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
7 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
8 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
9 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
12 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
16 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
17 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
18 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
21 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
25 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
26 for inlined code (doy).
28 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
30 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
34 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
35 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
36 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
37 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
38 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
45 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
47 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
51 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
52 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
56 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
58 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
59 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
60 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
66 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
67 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
71 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
72 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
73 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
75 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
77 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
79 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
81 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
85 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
87 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
91 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
92 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
94 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
98 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
99 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
101 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
102 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
104 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
106 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
107 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
108 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
110 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
112 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
114 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
115 modules (nothingmuch).
117 * Class::MOP::Package
118 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
122 * Class::MOP::Package
123 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
124 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
125 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
128 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
129 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
132 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
133 * Class::MOP::Attribute
134 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
135 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
136 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
137 attributes. (nothingmuch)
139 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
141 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
142 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
143 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
144 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
145 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
147 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
148 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
149 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
151 * Class::MOP::Package
152 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
153 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
155 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
156 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
157 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
159 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
160 * Class::MOP::Package
161 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
164 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
167 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
168 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
169 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
172 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
173 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
175 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
177 * Class::MOP::Package
178 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
181 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
182 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
184 * Class::MOP::Attribute
186 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
189 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
190 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
191 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
192 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
195 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
196 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
197 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
198 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
199 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
200 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
204 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
205 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
209 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
210 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
211 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
215 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
216 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
219 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
220 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
221 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
225 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
226 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
227 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
228 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
229 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
232 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
233 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
235 * Class::MOP::Instance
236 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
237 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
239 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
241 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
243 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
246 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
248 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
249 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
252 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
253 changed back in 0.82_01)
254 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
255 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
258 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
259 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
261 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
263 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
264 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
265 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
268 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
269 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
272 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
273 * Class::MOP::Attribute
274 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
276 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
277 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
278 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
281 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
284 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
285 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
286 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
287 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
288 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
291 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
294 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
296 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
300 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
301 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
302 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
303 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
307 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
310 * Class::MOP::Package
311 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
314 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
317 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
319 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
322 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
323 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
324 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
325 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
328 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
329 was removed in 0.82_01.
331 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
332 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
333 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
334 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
335 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
336 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
337 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
338 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
339 for the Moose compatibility handling code
340 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
342 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
344 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
345 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
347 * Class::MOP::Immutable
348 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
349 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
350 provides its own constructor (doy)
352 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
355 * Class::MOP::Instance
356 * Class::MOP::Attribute
357 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
358 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
359 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
360 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
363 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
364 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
366 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
368 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
369 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
371 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
372 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
373 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
374 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
375 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
378 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
379 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
380 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
381 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
382 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
383 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
384 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
386 - Class::MOP::Instance
387 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
391 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
392 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
393 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
395 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
396 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
397 when an object is constructed)
398 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
400 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
401 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
402 when an object is constructed)
403 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
404 - attributes => _attributes
405 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
407 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
409 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
410 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
411 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
414 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
415 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
416 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
419 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
420 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
421 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
422 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
426 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
427 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
428 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
429 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
430 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
431 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
433 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
434 * No changes from 0.78_02.
436 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
438 * Class::MOP::Immutable
439 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
440 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
441 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
442 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
446 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
447 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
450 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
451 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
452 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
454 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
456 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
457 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
460 * Class::MOP::Instance
461 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
462 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
463 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
464 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
466 * Class::MOP::Attribute
467 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
468 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
469 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
471 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
472 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
473 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
477 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
478 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
479 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
480 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
482 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
483 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
484 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
485 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
486 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
487 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
488 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
489 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
490 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
493 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
494 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
497 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
499 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
500 * No changes from 0.77_01
502 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
504 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
505 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
506 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
507 against the pure Perl version of this code.
509 * Class::MOP::Instance
510 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
511 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
514 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
516 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
520 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
521 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
525 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
526 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
528 * Class::MOP::Package
529 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
530 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
533 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
537 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
538 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
539 near future release. You've been warned.
541 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
542 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
543 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
544 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
546 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
547 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
550 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
551 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
554 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
557 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
558 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
560 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
562 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
563 sharing an immutable transformer object
564 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
565 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
567 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
569 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
570 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
571 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
572 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
574 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
575 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
577 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
579 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
580 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
582 * t/082_get_code_info.t
583 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
584 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
585 succeed in that case.
587 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
588 * Class::MOP::Package
589 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
592 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
593 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
595 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
596 * Class::MOP::Immutable
597 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
598 the constructor was inlined.
599 * Class::MOP::Package
600 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
601 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
602 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
604 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
605 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
607 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
609 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
610 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
611 * Class::MOP::Immutable
612 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
613 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
614 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
617 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
618 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
619 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
620 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
621 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
622 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
623 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
624 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
625 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
626 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
628 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
631 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
632 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
635 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
637 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
638 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
640 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
642 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
643 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
644 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
647 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
648 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
649 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
652 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
654 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
655 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
657 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
658 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
659 times in an eval. (t0m)
661 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
663 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
664 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
665 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
666 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
667 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
668 - added test for this
670 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
671 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
672 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
675 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
676 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
680 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
681 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
682 aliased methods and "real" methods.
684 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
685 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
686 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
687 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
690 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
691 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
694 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
695 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
696 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
697 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
698 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
699 for sad systems without a compiler.
702 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
703 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
706 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
707 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
708 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
710 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
712 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
713 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
714 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
715 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
717 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
718 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
719 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
720 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
722 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
724 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
725 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
728 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
729 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
730 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
732 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
734 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
736 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
737 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
738 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
740 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
741 * Class::MOP::Package
742 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
743 releases. (nothingmuch)
746 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
748 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
749 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
750 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
753 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
756 * Class::MOP::Instance
757 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
759 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
761 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
762 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
763 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
764 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
767 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
768 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
772 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
773 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
774 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
775 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
776 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
779 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
780 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
781 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
784 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
785 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
786 consistency (nothingmuch)
787 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
789 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
790 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
791 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
792 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
795 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
796 * Class::MOP::Immutable
797 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
799 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
801 * Class::MOP::Instance
802 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
803 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
805 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
807 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
808 the class is already loaded (sartak)
809 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
810 instead of just 1 (sartak)
813 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
815 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
816 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
817 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
819 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
820 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
821 recognizes it correct this time.
823 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
824 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
827 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
828 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
831 - now stores the instance of the instance
832 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
833 and deletes it when the cache is blown
834 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
835 the options used to make it immutable as well as
836 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
838 * Class::MOP::Package
839 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
840 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
841 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
845 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
847 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
848 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
850 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
851 names now throw a more direct error in
853 - tests for this and other aspects of
859 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
860 Class::MOP::Attribute
861 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
864 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
865 (late night release engineering)--
867 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
868 changes in this release
870 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
871 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
872 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
875 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
876 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
877 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
880 * Class::MOP::Package
881 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
883 - inlining a few calls to &name with
884 direct HASH access key access
885 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
886 a HASH of items based on a type filter
887 similar to list_all_package_symbols
888 - added tests for this
891 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
892 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
893 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
894 - added more descriptive error message to help
895 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
896 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
898 * Class::MOP::Immutable
899 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
901 - added tests for this
903 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
905 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
906 function from MRO::Compat
907 - All XS based functionality now has a
908 Pure Perl alternative
909 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
910 can now be used to force non-XS versions

920 * Class::MOP::Immutable
921 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
922 making the class immutable

926 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
927 allow for it to work.
928 - added tests for this
930 * Class::MOP::Attribute
932 Class::MOP::Immutable
933 - any time a method meta object is constructed
934 we make sure to pass the correct package and
935 method name information
938 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
939 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
940 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
941 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
942 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
943 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
944 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
945 throw an error if these are not supplied.
946 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
947 and now store the package_name and name attributes
950 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
951 Module::Install support has been removed
953 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
954 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
955 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
956 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
960 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
961 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
963 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
964 when it has no init_arg
965 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
966 to support c3 classes.
968 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
971 - making sure that load_class never gets
972 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
973 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
976 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
978 - improved error handling in ->create method
979 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
980 will be used to populate values
981 - added tests for this
984 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
985 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
991 Class::MOP::Attribute
992 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
993 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
995 * Class::MOP::Instance
996 Class::MOP::Immutable
997 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1000 - fixed the filename length on several
1001 test files so we install on VMS better
1003 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1004 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1006 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1007 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1010 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1011 Class::MOP::Attribute
1012 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1013 to indicate that no constructor args can
1014 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1015 - added tests for this
1016 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1019 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1020 feature instead of the silly hack from
1021 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1023 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1025 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1028 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1029 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1032 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1033 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1034 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1037 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1038 constant so that we can take advantage
1039 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1042 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1043 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1044 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1045 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1046 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1047 - added tests for this
1049 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1050 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1051 the transformer which immutablized it
1053 * Class::MOP::Instance
1054 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1055 - added tests for this
1057 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1059 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1060 transformation arguments are saved
1062 - added tests for this
1064 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1065 - fixed a bug (see above)
1067 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1070 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1071 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1072 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1075 - removed the dependency on B
1076 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1077 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1078 the B fiddling we were doing with
1079 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1080 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1081 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1082 be used to help manage method caching.
1085 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1086 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1087 even more accurate caching information.
1088 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1091 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1092 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1093 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1094 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1096 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1097 of the new method map caching features
1099 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1100 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1101 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1102 HASH ref case, which makes the
1103 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1104 - added more tests for this
1106 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1107 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1108 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1109 - added more tests for this
1111 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1113 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1114 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1115 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1117 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1118 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1119 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1120 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1122 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1123 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1124 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1126 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1129 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1131 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1134 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1135 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1136 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1137 call through (groditi)
1139 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1140 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1141 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1142 it is defined (groditi)
1144 * Class::MOP::Instance
1145 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1146 it is defined (groditi)
1148 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1149 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1150 - removed the relevant attributes
1152 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1153 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1154 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1155 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1157 - added tests for this
1158 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1159 non-inlined constructors.
1160 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1162 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1163 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1164 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1165 - added tests for this
1168 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1169 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1172 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1174 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1175 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1177 * Class::MOP::Package
1178 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1181 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1183 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1185 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1186 it manually now so that people can use this
1187 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1189 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1191 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1192 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1193 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1196 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1197 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1198 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1199 - removed unused variable
1200 - added create_immutable_transformer
1201 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1202 - tests for this (groditi)
1205 - Immutability can now be undone,
1206 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1207 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1208 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1209 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1210 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1211 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1212 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1213 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1214 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1216 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1217 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1219 * Class::MOP::Package
1220 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1225 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1226 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1228 - added tests and POD for this
1231 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1232 handles undef values correctly.
1233 - added tests for this
1234 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1235 will not get reaped when instances still
1236 exist which need to reference them. This is
1237 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1238 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1239 many work arounds out in the wild.
1240 - added tests for this by groditi
1241 - updated docs to explain this
1244 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1245 - added tests for this behavior
1247 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1248 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1251 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1252 - added tests and docs for these
1254 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1255 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1256 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1260 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1265 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1266 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1267 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1268 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1269 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1272 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1274 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1275 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1276 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1279 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1280 immutable transformation instead of
1281 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1283 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1284 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1285 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1286 be coming eventually.
1289 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1291 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1292 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1296 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1299 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1301 - constructor generation is now handled by
1302 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1304 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1305 - created this to handle constructor generation
1306 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1308 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1310 - attributes now delegate to the
1311 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1314 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1315 - all accessor generation functions from
1316 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1318 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1327 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1328 they are aliased from the originals
1329 - fixed tests to reflect
1330 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1332 - adjusted tests for this
1333 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1336 * Class::MOP::Method
1338 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1339 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1340 - adjusted tests to compensate
1341 - adjusted docs for this
1344 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1345 encapsulate most of the work into the
1346 &get_method_map method
1347 - made several adjustments for the change
1348 in Class::MOP::Method
1349 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1350 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1351 old one before installing the new one
1352 - added tests for this
1353 - adjusted docs for this
1355 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1356 - added caching of &get_method_map
1357 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1358 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1361 - added filtering capabilities to
1362 &list_all_package_symbols
1364 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1366 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1367 the $:version and such just actually goes
1368 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1369 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1371 - The &create method now requires that all
1372 but the package name now is passed in as
1373 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1374 - updated docs and tests for this
1376 * Class::MOP::Object
1377 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1395 - fixed all tests for this
1397 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1398 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1399 are no longer allowed for defaults
1400 - added tests for this
1402 * Class::MOP::Package
1403 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1404 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1405 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1407 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1409 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1410 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1411 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1412 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1414 * Class::MOP::Package
1415 - refactored entire class, this is now
1416 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1417 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1418 - added many tests for this
1419 - this class is now a subclass of
1421 - added some tests to reflect this
1424 - refactored all symbol table access to
1425 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1427 * Class::MOP::Module
1428 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1429 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1430 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1431 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1432 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1433 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1434 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1435 - added tests for this
1437 * Class::MOP::Instance
1438 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots

1442 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1443 - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
1444 slots from an instance
1445 - added tests for this
1447 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006

1451 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1453 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1454 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1455 the value of the attribute for a particular
1458 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1459 ---------------------------------------
1460 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1461 to introduce the immutable features which
1462 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1463 This support should still be considered
1464 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1465 ---------------------------------------
1467 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1469 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1470 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1471 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1474 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1475 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1476 ::Package and now inherited
1477 - added tests for this
1479 * Class::MOP::Instance
1480 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1481 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1482 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1483 instance creation (of course)
1486 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1487 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1488 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1489 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1490 table manipulation methods.
1492 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1493 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1495 - small change in &create so that it behaves
1496 properly when inherited
1497 - small fix to &clone_instance
1499 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1500 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1501 - This release works in combination with
1502 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1503 because it introduces a new instance
1504 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1508 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1509 - added tests for this
1510 - improved method modifier wrapping
1512 * Class::MOP::Instance
1513 - added new instance protocol
1514 - added tests for this
1515 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1517 - Class::MOP::Attribute

1549 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1550 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1551 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1552 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1553 delegates appropriately
1555 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1556 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1557 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1558 called initialize_instance_slot

1562 initialize_instance_slot method
1564 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1585 - added test case for this
1587 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1589 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1590 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1591 available in DESTORY calls
1593 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1594 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1595 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1597 * Class::MOP::Method
1598 - added &package_name, &name and
1599 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1600 which were formerly private subs in
1603 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1604 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1605 before, after and around modifiers
1606 - added tests and docs for this feature

1616 - &add_around_method_modifier
1617 - added tests and docs for these

1632 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1635 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1636 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1637 - added docs and tests
1639 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1640 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1641 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1642 be considered "ready to use".
1644 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1645 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1646 - test coverage is now at 99%
1649 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1650 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1651 metaclass pragma instead.

1664 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1666 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1667 metaclass a little more straightforward
1670 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1671 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1672 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1673 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1677 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1678 is now more useful for subclasses
1679 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1680 hash of attribute meta objects
1681 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1682 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1683 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1684 attribute meta-object itself
1685 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1686 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1687 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1697 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1698 - added tests and docs for this
1701 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1703 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1705 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006

1708 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1709 attributes/methods respectively
1712 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1715 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1716 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1717 - added new example:

1747 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1748 - adding POD documentation to the examples
