1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
7 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
8 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
10 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
14 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
15 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
17 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
18 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
20 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
22 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
23 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
24 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
26 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
28 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
30 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
31 modules (nothingmuch).
34 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
39 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
40 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
41 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
44 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
45 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
48 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
49 * Class::MOP::Attribute
50 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
51 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
52 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
53 attributes. (nothingmuch)
55 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
57 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
58 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
59 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
60 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
61 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
63 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
64 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
65 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
68 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
69 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
71 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
72 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
73 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
75 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
77 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
80 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
83 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
84 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
85 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
88 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
89 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
94 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
97 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
98 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
100 * Class::MOP::Attribute
102 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
105 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
106 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
107 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
108 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
111 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
112 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
113 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
114 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
115 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
116 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
120 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
121 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
125 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
126 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
127 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
131 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
132 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
135 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
136 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
137 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
141 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
142 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
143 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
144 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
145 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
148 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
149 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
151 * Class::MOP::Instance
152 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
153 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
155 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
157 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
159 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
162 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
164 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
165 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
168 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
169 changed back in 0.82_01)
170 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
171 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
174 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
175 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
177 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
179 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
180 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
181 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
184 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
185 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
188 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
189 * Class::MOP::Attribute
190 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
192 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
193 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
194 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
197 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
200 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
201 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
202 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
203 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
204 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
207 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
210 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
212 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
216 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
217 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
218 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
219 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
223 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
226 * Class::MOP::Package
227 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
230 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
233 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
235 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
238 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
239 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
240 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
241 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
244 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
245 was removed in 0.82_01.
247 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
248 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
249 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
250 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
251 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
252 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
253 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
254 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
255 for the Moose compatibility handling code
256 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
258 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
260 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
261 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
263 * Class::MOP::Immutable
264 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
265 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
266 provides its own constructor (doy)
268 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
271 * Class::MOP::Instance
272 * Class::MOP::Attribute
273 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
274 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
275 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
276 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
279 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
280 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
282 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
284 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
285 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
287 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
288 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
289 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
290 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
291 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
294 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
295 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
296 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
297 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
298 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
299 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
300 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
302 - Class::MOP::Instance
303 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
307 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
308 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
309 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
311 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
312 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
313 when an object is constructed)
314 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
316 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
317 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
318 when an object is constructed)
319 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
320 - attributes => _attributes
321 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
323 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
325 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
326 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
327 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
330 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
331 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
332 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
335 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
336 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
337 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
338 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
342 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
343 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
344 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
345 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
346 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
347 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
349 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
350 * No changes from 0.78_02.
352 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
354 * Class::MOP::Immutable
355 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
356 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
357 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
358 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
362 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
363 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
366 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
367 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
368 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
370 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
372 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
373 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
376 * Class::MOP::Instance
377 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
378 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
379 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
380 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
382 * Class::MOP::Attribute
383 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
384 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
385 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
387 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
388 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
389 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
393 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
394 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
395 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
396 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
398 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
399 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
400 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
401 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
402 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
403 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
404 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
405 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
406 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
409 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
410 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
413 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
415 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
416 * No changes from 0.77_01
418 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
420 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
421 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
422 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
423 against the pure Perl version of this code.
425 * Class::MOP::Instance
426 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
427 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
430 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
432 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
436 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
437 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
441 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
442 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
444 * Class::MOP::Package
445 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
446 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
449 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
453 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
454 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
455 near future release. You've been warned.
457 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
458 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
459 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
460 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
462 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
463 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
466 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
467 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
470 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
473 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
474 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
476 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
478 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
479 sharing an immutable transformer object
480 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
481 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
483 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
485 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
486 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
487 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
488 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
490 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
491 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
493 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
495 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
496 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
498 * t/082_get_code_info.t
499 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
500 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
501 succeed in that case.
503 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
504 * Class::MOP::Package
505 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
508 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
509 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
511 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
512 * Class::MOP::Immutable
513 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
514 the constructor was inlined.
515 * Class::MOP::Package
516 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
517 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
518 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
520 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
521 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
523 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
525 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
526 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
527 * Class::MOP::Immutable
528 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
529 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
530 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
533 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
534 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
535 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
536 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
537 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
538 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
539 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
540 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
541 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
542 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
544 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
547 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
548 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
551 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
553 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
554 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
556 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
558 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
559 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
560 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
563 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
564 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
565 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
568 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
570 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
571 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
573 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
574 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
575 times in an eval. (t0m)
577 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
579 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
580 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
581 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
582 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
583 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
584 - added test for this
586 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
587 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
588 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
591 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
592 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
596 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
597 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
598 aliased methods and "real" methods.
600 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
601 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
602 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
603 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
606 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
607 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
610 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
611 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
612 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
613 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
614 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
615 for sad systems without a compiler.
618 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
619 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
622 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
623 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
624 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
626 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
628 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
629 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
630 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
631 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
633 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
634 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
635 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
636 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
638 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
640 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
641 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
644 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
645 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
646 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
648 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
650 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
652 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
653 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
654 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
656 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
657 * Class::MOP::Package
658 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
659 releases. (nothingmuch)
662 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
664 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
665 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
666 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
669 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
672 * Class::MOP::Instance
673 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
675 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
677 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
678 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
679 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
680 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
683 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
684 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
688 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
689 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
690 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
691 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
692 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
695 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
696 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
697 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
700 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
701 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
702 consistency (nothingmuch)
703 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
705 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
706 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
707 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
708 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
711 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
712 * Class::MOP::Immutable
713 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
715 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
717 * Class::MOP::Instance
718 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
719 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
721 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
723 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
724 the class is already loaded (sartak)
725 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
726 instead of just 1 (sartak)
729 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
731 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
732 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
733 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
735 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
736 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
737 recognizes it correct this time.
739 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
740 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
743 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
744 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
747 - now stores the instance of the instance
748 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
749 and deletes it when the cache is blown
750 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
751 the options used to make it immutable as well as
752 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
754 * Class::MOP::Package
755 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
756 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
757 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
761 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
763 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
764 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
766 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
767 names now throw a more direct error in
769 - tests for this and other aspects of
775 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
776 Class::MOP::Attribute
777 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
780 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
781 (late night release engineering)--
783 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
784 changes in this release
786 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
787 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
788 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
791 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
792 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
793 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
796 * Class::MOP::Package
797 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
799 - inlining a few calls to &name with
800 direct HASH access key access
801 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
802 a HASH of items based on a type filter
803 similar to list_all_package_symbols
804 - added tests for this
807 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
808 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
809 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
810 - added more descriptive error message to help
811 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
812 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
814 * Class::MOP::Immutable
815 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
817 - added tests for this
819 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
821 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
822 function from MRO::Compat
823 - All XS based functionality now has a
824 Pure Perl alternative
825 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable

837 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
838 making the class immutable
841 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
842 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
843 allow for it to work.
844 - added tests for this
846 * Class::MOP::Attribute
848 Class::MOP::Immutable
849 - any time a method meta object is constructed
850 we make sure to pass the correct package and
851 method name information
854 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
855 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
856 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
857 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
858 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
859 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
860 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
861 throw an error if these are not supplied.
862 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
863 and now store the package_name and name attributes
866 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
867 Module::Install support has been removed
869 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
870 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
871 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
872 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
876 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
877 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
879 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
880 when it has no init_arg
881 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
882 to support c3 classes.
884 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
887 - making sure that load_class never gets
888 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
889 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
892 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
894 - improved error handling in ->create method
895 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
896 will be used to populate values
897 - added tests for this
900 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
901 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
907 Class::MOP::Attribute
908 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
909 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
911 * Class::MOP::Instance
912 Class::MOP::Immutable
913 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
916 - fixed the filename length on several
917 test files so we install on VMS better
919 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
920 should be catfile (RT #32385)
922 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
923 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
926 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

929 to indicate that no constructor args can
930 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
931 - added tests for this
932 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
935 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
936 feature instead of the silly hack from
937 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
939 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
941 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
944 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
945 - removed assumptions about the existence of
948 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
949 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
950 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
953 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
954 constant so that we can take advantage
955 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
958 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
959 optimize the &linearized_isa method
960 and avoid the hack/check for circular
961 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
962 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
963 - added tests for this
965 * Class::MOP::Immutable
966 - the immutable class now keeps track of
967 the transformer which immutablized it
969 * Class::MOP::Instance

971 - added tests for this
973 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007

986 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
987 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
988 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
991 - removed the dependency on B
992 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
993 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
994 the B fiddling we were doing with
995 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
996 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
997 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
998 be used to help manage method caching.
1001 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1002 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1003 even more accurate caching information.
1004 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1007 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1008 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1009 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1010 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1012 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1013 of the new method map caching features
1015 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1016 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1017 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1018 HASH ref case, which makes the

1020 - added more tests for this
1022 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1023 * Class::MOP::Attribute

1025 - added more tests for this
1027 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1029 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1030 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1031 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1033 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1034 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1035 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1036 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1038 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1039 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1040 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1042 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1050 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1051 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1052 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1053 call through (groditi)
1055 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1056 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)

1066 - removed the relevant attributes
1068 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1069 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1070 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1071 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1073 - added tests for this
1074 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1075 non-inlined constructors.
1076 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1078 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1079 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1080 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1081 - added tests for this
1084 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)

1094 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1097 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1099 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1101 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1102 it manually now so that people can use this
1103 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1105 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1107 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1108 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1109 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1112 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1113 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1114 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1115 - removed unused variable
1116 - added create_immutable_transformer
1117 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1118 - tests for this (groditi)
1121 - Immutability can now be undone,
1122 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1123 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1124 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1125 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1126 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1127 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1128 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1129 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1130 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1132 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1133 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1135 * Class::MOP::Package
1136 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1137 - added tests for this
1138 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1140 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1141 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1142 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1144 - added tests and POD for this
1147 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1148 handles undef values correctly.
1149 - added tests for this
1150 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1151 will not get reaped when instances still
1152 exist which need to reference them. This is
1153 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1154 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1155 many work arounds out in the wild.
1156 - added tests for this by groditi
1157 - updated docs to explain this
1160 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1161 - added tests for this behavior
1163 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1164 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1167 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1168 - added tests and docs for these
1170 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1171 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1172 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1176 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1181 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1182 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1183 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1184 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1185 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1188 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1190 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1191 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1192 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1195 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1196 immutable transformation instead of
1197 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1199 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1200 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1201 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1202 be coming eventually.
1205 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1207 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1208 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1212 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1215 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1217 - constructor generation is now handled by
1218 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1220 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1221 - created this to handle constructor generation
1222 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1224 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1226 - attributes now delegate to the
1227 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1230 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor

1237 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1238 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1242 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1243 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1244 they are aliased from the originals
1245 - fixed tests to reflect
1246 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1248 - adjusted tests for this
1249 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1252 * Class::MOP::Method
1254 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1255 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1256 - adjusted tests to compensate
1257 - adjusted docs for this
1260 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1261 encapsulate most of the work into the
1262 &get_method_map method
1263 - made several adjustments for the change
1264 in Class::MOP::Method
1265 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1266 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1267 old one before installing the new one
1268 - added tests for this
1269 - adjusted docs for this
1271 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1272 - added caching of &get_method_map
1273 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol

1278 &list_all_package_symbols
1280 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1282 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1283 the $:version and such just actually goes
1284 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1285 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1287 - The &create method now requires that all
1288 but the package name now is passed in as
1289 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1290 - updated docs and tests for this
1292 * Class::MOP::Object
1293 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1315 are no longer allowed for defaults
1316 - added tests for this
1318 * Class::MOP::Package
1319 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1320 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1321 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1323 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1325 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1326 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1327 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1328 to what Perl 6 will probably be).

1332 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1333 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1334 - added many tests for this

1341 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1343 * Class::MOP::Module
1344 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1345 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1346 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1347 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1348 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1349 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1350 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1351 - added tests for this

1367 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1369 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1370 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1371 the value of the attribute for a particular
1374 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1375 ---------------------------------------
1376 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1377 to introduce the immutable features which
1378 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1379 This support should still be considered
1380 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1381 ---------------------------------------
1383 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1385 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1386 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1387 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1390 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1391 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1392 ::Package and now inherited
1393 - added tests for this
1395 * Class::MOP::Instance
1396 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1397 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1398 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1399 instance creation (of course)
1402 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1403 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1404 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1405 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1406 table manipulation methods.
1408 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1409 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++

1418 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1419 because it introduces a new instance
1420 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1424 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1425 - added tests for this
1426 - improved method modifier wrapping
1428 * Class::MOP::Instance
1429 - added new instance protocol
1430 - added tests for this

1438 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1440 - updated tests for this
1443 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1444 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of

1467 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1468 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1469 delegates appropriately
1471 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1472 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1473 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1474 called initialize_instance_slot

1503 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1505 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from

1509 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1510 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1511 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.

1515 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1516 which were formerly private subs in
1519 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1520 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1521 before, after and around modifiers

1537 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1538 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1542 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test

1551 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1552 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1553 - added docs and tests
1555 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1556 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1557 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1558 be considered "ready to use".
1560 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1561 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1562 - test coverage is now at 99%
1565 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1566 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1567 metaclass pragma instead.
1570 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1571 error/edge-case tests
1573 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1574 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the

1580 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1582 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1583 metaclass a little more straightforward
1586 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1587 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1588 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1589 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1593 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1594 is now more useful for subclasses
1595 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1596 hash of attribute meta objects
1597 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1598 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1599 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1600 attribute meta-object itself
1601 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1602 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1603 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1604 - added docs & tests for this
1605 - added Clone as a dependency
1606 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
1607 return blessed new or cloned instances
1608 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1609 - added docs & tests for this
1610 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1611 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1612 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1613 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1614 - added tests and docs for this
1617 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1619 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1621 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006

1624 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1625 attributes/methods respectively
1628 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1631 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1632 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1633 - added new example:
1636 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1638 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
