1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
3 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
6 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
7 anywhere within the class hierarchy
9 * Class::MOP::Attribute
10 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
11 the value of the attribute for a particular
14 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
15 ---------------------------------------
16 This is the first version of Class::MOP
17 to introduce the immutable features which
18 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
19 This support should still be considered
20 experimental, but moving towards stability.
21 ---------------------------------------
23 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
25 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
26 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
27 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
30 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
31 - several methods moved to ::Module and
32 ::Package and now inherited
33 - added tests for this
35 * Class::MOP::Instance
36 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
37 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
38 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
39 instance creation (of course)
42 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
43 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
44 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
45 because they are now more general purpose symbol
46 table manipulation methods.
48 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
49 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
51 - small change in &create so that it behaves
52 properly when inherited
53 - small fix to &clone_instance
55 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
56 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
57 - This release works in combination with
58 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
59 because it introduces a new instance
60 sub-protocol and has not yet been
64 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
65 - added tests for this
66 - improved method modifier wrapping
68 * Class::MOP::Instance
69 - added new instance protocol
70 - added tests for this
71 - changed all relevant modules and examples
73 - Class::MOP::Attribute
77 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
78 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
80 - updated tests for this
83 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
84 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
86 - added tests for this
87 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
89 - added more tests for this
91 0.26 Mon. April 24, 2006
93 - added find_attribute_by_name method
94 - added tests and docs for this
95 - some small optimizations
97 * Class::MOP::Attribute
98 - some small optimizations
100 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
102 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
103 - added tests for this
104 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
105 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
106 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
107 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
108 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
109 delegates appropriately
111 * Class::MOP::Attribute
112 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
113 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
114 called initialize_instance_slot
117 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
118 initialize_instance_slot method
120 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
122 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
123 modifiers get named with Sub::Name
125 0.23 Thurs. March 30, 2006
127 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
128 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
130 * Class::MOP::Attribute
131 - read-only accessors ('reader') will now die if
132 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
134 - added tests for this
135 - adjusted all /example files to comply
137 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
139 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
140 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
141 - added test case for this
143 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
145 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
146 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
147 available in DESTORY calls
149 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
150 - removed the dependency for Clone since
151 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
154 - added &package_name, &name and
155 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
156 which were formerly private subs in
159 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
160 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
161 before, after and around modifiers
162 - added tests and docs for this feature
165 - improved &get_package_symbol
166 - &version and &superclasses now use it
167 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
169 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
170 - &add_before_method_modifier
171 - &add_after_method_modifier
172 - &add_around_method_modifier
173 - added tests and docs for these
174 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
175 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
177 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
178 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
182 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
183 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
184 the test skip if it is not installed
186 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
188 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
191 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
192 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
193 - added docs and tests
195 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
196 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
197 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
198 be considered "ready to use".
200 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
201 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
202 - test coverage is now at 99%
205 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
206 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
207 metaclass pragma instead.
210 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
211 error/edge-case tests
213 * Class::MOP::Attribute
214 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
215 error/edge-case tests
218 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
220 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
222 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
223 metaclass a little more straightforward
226 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
227 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
228 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
229 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
233 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
234 is now more useful for subclasses
235 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
236 hash of attribute meta objects
237 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
238 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
239 since all the same info can be gotten from the
240 attribute meta-object itself
241 - updated docs & tests to reflect
242 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
243 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
244 - added docs & tests for this
245 - added Clone as a dependency
246 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
247 return blessed new or cloned instances
248 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
249 - added docs & tests for this
250 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
251 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
252 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
253 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
254 - added tests and docs for this
257 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
259 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
261 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
263 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
264 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
265 attributes/methods respectively
268 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
271 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
272 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
276 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
278 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
280 * Class::MOP::Attribute
281 - improved error messages

286 - ClassEncapsultedAttributes
288 0.03 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
289 - converted to Module::Build instead of EU::MM
291 * Class::MOP::Attribute
292 - refactored method generation code
293 - attributes are now associated with class directly
296 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
297 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
298 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
299 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
300 namespaces really, they are just examples)
302 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
303 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
304 - adding POD documentation to the examples
306 0.01 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
