1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
6 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
7 available in DESTORY calls
9 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
10 - removed the dependency for Clone since
11 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
14 - added &package_name, &name and
15 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
16 which were formerly private subs in
19 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
20 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
21 before, after and around modifiers
22 - added tests and docs for this feature
25 - improved &get_package_variable
26 - &version and &superclasses now use it
27 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
29 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
30 - &add_before_method_modifier
31 - &add_after_method_modifier
32 - &add_around_method_modifier
33 - added tests and docs for these
34 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
35 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
37 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
38 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
42 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
43 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
44 the test skip if it is not installed
46 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
48 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
51 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
52 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
53 - added docs and tests
55 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
56 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
57 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
58 be considered "ready to use".
60 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
61 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
62 - test coverage is now at 99%
65 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
66 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
67 metaclass pragma instead.
70 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
73 * Class::MOP::Attribute
74 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
78 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
80 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
82 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
83 metaclass a little more straightforward
86 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
87 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
88 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
89 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
93 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
94 is now more useful for subclasses
95 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
96 hash of attribute meta objects
97 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
98 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
99 since all the same info can be gotten from the
100 attribute meta-object itself
101 - updated docs & tests to reflect
102 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
103 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
104 - added docs & tests for this
105 - added Clone as a dependency
106 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
107 return blessed new or cloned instances
108 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
109 - added docs & tests for this
110 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
111 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
112 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
113 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
114 - added tests and docs for this
117 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
119 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
121 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
123 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
124 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
125 attributes/methods respectively
128 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
131 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
132 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
136 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
138 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
140 * Class::MOP::Attribute
141 - improved error messages
144 - added new examples:

146 - ClassEncapsultedAttributes
148 0.03 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
149 - converted to Module::Build instead of EU::MM
151 * Class::MOP::Attribute
152 - refactored method generation code
153 - attributes are now associated with class directly
156 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
157 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
158 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
159 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
160 namespaces really, they are just examples)
162 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
163 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
164 - adding POD documentation to the examples
