1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
4 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
6 created the Class::MOP::Package and
7 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
8 closely conform to Perl 6's meta model
11 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
12 - several methods moved to ::Module and
13 ::Package and now inherited
14 - added tests for this
17 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
18 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
19 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
20 because they are now more general purpose symbol
21 table manipulation methods.
23 * Class::MOP::Instance
24 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
25 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
27 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
28 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
30 - small change in &create so that it behaves
31 properly when inherited
32 - small fix to &clone_instance
34 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
35 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
36 - This release works in combination with
37 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
38 because it introduces a new instance
39 sub-protocol and has not yet been
43 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
44 - added tests for this
45 - improved method modifier wrapping
47 * Class::MOP::Instance
48 - added new instance protocol
49 - added tests for this
50 - changed all relevant modules and examples
52 - Class::MOP::Attribute
56 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
57 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
59 - updated tests for this
62 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
63 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
65 - added tests for this
66 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
68 - added more tests for this
70 0.26 Mon. April 24, 2006
72 - added find_attribute_by_name method
73 - added tests and docs for this
74 - some small optimizations
76 * Class::MOP::Attribute
77 - some small optimizations
79 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
81 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
82 - added tests for this
83 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
84 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
85 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
86 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
87 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
88 delegates appropriately
90 * Class::MOP::Attribute
91 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
92 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
93 called initialize_instance_slot
96 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
97 initialize_instance_slot method
99 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
101 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
102 modifiers get named with Sub::Name
104 0.23 Thurs. March 30, 2006
106 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
107 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
109 * Class::MOP::Attribute
110 - read-only accessors ('reader') will now die if
111 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
113 - added tests for this
114 - adjusted all /example files to comply
116 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
118 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
119 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
120 - added test case for this
122 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
124 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
125 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
126 available in DESTORY calls
128 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
129 - removed the dependency for Clone since
130 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
133 - added &package_name, &name and
134 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
135 which were formerly private subs in
138 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
139 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
140 before, after and around modifiers
141 - added tests and docs for this feature
144 - improved &get_package_symbol
145 - &version and &superclasses now use it
146 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
148 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
149 - &add_before_method_modifier
150 - &add_after_method_modifier
151 - &add_around_method_modifier
152 - added tests and docs for these
153 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
154 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
156 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
157 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
161 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
162 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
163 the test skip if it is not installed
165 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
167 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
170 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
171 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
172 - added docs and tests
174 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
175 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
176 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
177 be considered "ready to use".
179 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
180 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
181 - test coverage is now at 99%
184 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
185 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
186 metaclass pragma instead.
189 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
190 error/edge-case tests
192 * Class::MOP::Attribute
193 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
194 error/edge-case tests
197 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
199 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
201 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
202 metaclass a little more straightforward
205 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
206 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
207 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
208 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
212 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
213 is now more useful for subclasses
214 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
215 hash of attribute meta objects
216 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
217 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
218 since all the same info can be gotten from the
219 attribute meta-object itself
220 - updated docs & tests to reflect
221 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
222 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
223 - added docs & tests for this
224 - added Clone as a dependency
225 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
226 return blessed new or cloned instances
227 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
228 - added docs & tests for this
229 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
230 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
231 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
232 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
233 - added tests and docs for this
236 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
238 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
240 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
242 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
243 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
244 attributes/methods respectively
247 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
250 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
251 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
255 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
257 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
259 * Class::MOP::Attribute
260 - improved error messages

267 0.03 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
268 - converted to Module::Build instead of EU::MM
270 * Class::MOP::Attribute
271 - refactored method generation code
272 - attributes are now associated with class directly
275 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
276 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
277 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
278 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
279 namespaces really, they are just examples)
281 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
282 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
283 - adding POD documentation to the examples
285 0.01 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
