1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
7 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
8 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
9 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and this is tested for
10 explicit. (Dave Rolsky)
13 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
17 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
18 for inlined code (doy).
20 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
22 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
26 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
27 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
28 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
29 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
30 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
37 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
39 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
43 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
44 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
48 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
50 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
51 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
52 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
58 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
59 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
63 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
64 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
65 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
67 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
69 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
71 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
73 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
77 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
79 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
83 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
84 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
86 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
90 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
91 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
93 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
94 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
96 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
98 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
99 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
100 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
102 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
104 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
106 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
107 modules (nothingmuch).
109 * Class::MOP::Package
110 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
114 * Class::MOP::Package
115 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
116 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
117 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
120 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
121 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
124 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
125 * Class::MOP::Attribute
126 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
127 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
128 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
129 attributes. (nothingmuch)
131 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
133 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
134 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
135 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
136 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
137 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
139 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
140 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
141 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
143 * Class::MOP::Package
144 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
145 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
147 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
148 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
149 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
151 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
152 * Class::MOP::Package
153 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
156 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
159 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
160 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
161 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
164 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
165 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
167 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
169 * Class::MOP::Package
170 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
173 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
174 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
176 * Class::MOP::Attribute
178 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
181 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
182 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
183 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
184 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
187 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
188 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
189 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
190 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
191 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
192 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
196 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
197 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
201 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
202 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
203 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
207 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
208 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
211 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
212 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
213 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
217 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
218 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
219 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
220 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
221 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
224 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
225 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
227 * Class::MOP::Instance
228 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
229 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
231 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
233 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
235 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
238 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
240 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
241 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
244 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
245 changed back in 0.82_01)
246 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
247 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
250 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
251 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
253 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
255 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
256 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
257 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
260 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
261 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
264 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
265 * Class::MOP::Attribute
266 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
268 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
269 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
270 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
273 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
276 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
277 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
278 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
279 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
280 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
283 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
286 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
288 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
292 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
293 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
294 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
295 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
299 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
302 * Class::MOP::Package
303 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
306 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
309 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
311 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
314 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
315 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
316 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
317 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
320 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
321 was removed in 0.82_01.
323 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
324 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
325 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
326 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
327 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
328 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
329 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
330 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
331 for the Moose compatibility handling code
332 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
334 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
336 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
337 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
339 * Class::MOP::Immutable
340 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
341 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
342 provides its own constructor (doy)
344 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
347 * Class::MOP::Instance
348 * Class::MOP::Attribute
349 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
350 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
351 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
352 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
355 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
356 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
358 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
360 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
361 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
363 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
364 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
365 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
366 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
367 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
370 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
371 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
372 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
373 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
374 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
375 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
376 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
378 - Class::MOP::Instance
379 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
383 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
384 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
385 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
387 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
388 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
389 when an object is constructed)
390 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
392 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
393 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
394 when an object is constructed)
395 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
396 - attributes => _attributes
397 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
399 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
401 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
402 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
403 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
406 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
407 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
408 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
411 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
412 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
413 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
414 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
418 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
419 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
420 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
421 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
422 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
423 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
425 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
426 * No changes from 0.78_02.
428 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
430 * Class::MOP::Immutable
431 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
432 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
433 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
434 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
438 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
439 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
442 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
443 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
444 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
446 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
448 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
449 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
452 * Class::MOP::Instance
453 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
454 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
455 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
456 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
458 * Class::MOP::Attribute
459 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
460 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
461 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
463 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
464 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
465 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
469 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
470 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
471 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
472 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
474 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
475 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
476 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
477 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
478 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
479 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
480 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
481 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
482 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
485 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
486 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
489 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
491 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
492 * No changes from 0.77_01
494 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
496 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
497 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
498 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
499 against the pure Perl version of this code.
501 * Class::MOP::Instance
502 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
503 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
506 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
508 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
512 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
513 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
517 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
518 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
520 * Class::MOP::Package
521 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
522 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
525 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
529 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
530 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
531 near future release. You've been warned.
533 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
534 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
535 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
536 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
538 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
539 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
542 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
543 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
546 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
549 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
550 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
552 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
554 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
555 sharing an immutable transformer object
556 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
557 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
559 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
561 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
562 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
563 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
564 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
566 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
567 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
569 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
571 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
572 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
574 * t/082_get_code_info.t
575 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
576 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
577 succeed in that case.
579 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
580 * Class::MOP::Package
581 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
584 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
585 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
587 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
588 * Class::MOP::Immutable
589 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
590 the constructor was inlined.
591 * Class::MOP::Package
592 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
593 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
594 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
596 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
597 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
599 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
601 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
602 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
603 * Class::MOP::Immutable
604 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
605 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
606 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
609 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
610 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
611 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
612 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
613 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
614 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
615 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
616 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
617 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
618 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
620 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
623 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
624 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
627 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
629 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
630 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
632 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
634 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
635 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
636 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
639 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
640 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
641 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
644 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
646 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
647 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
649 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
650 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
651 times in an eval. (t0m)
653 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
655 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
656 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
657 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
658 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
659 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
660 - added test for this
662 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
663 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
664 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
667 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
668 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
672 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
673 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
674 aliased methods and "real" methods.
676 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
677 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
678 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
679 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
682 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
683 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
686 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
687 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
688 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
689 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
690 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
691 for sad systems without a compiler.
694 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
695 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
698 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
699 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
700 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
702 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
704 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
705 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
706 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
707 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
709 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
710 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
711 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
712 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
714 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
716 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
717 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
720 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
721 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
722 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
724 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
726 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
728 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
729 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
730 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
732 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
733 * Class::MOP::Package
734 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
735 releases. (nothingmuch)
738 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
740 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
741 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
742 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
745 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
748 * Class::MOP::Instance
749 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
751 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
753 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
754 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
755 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
756 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
759 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
760 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
764 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
765 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
766 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
767 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
768 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
771 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
772 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
773 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
776 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
777 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
778 consistency (nothingmuch)
779 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
781 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
782 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
783 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
784 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
787 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
788 * Class::MOP::Immutable
789 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
791 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
793 * Class::MOP::Instance
794 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
795 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
797 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
799 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
800 the class is already loaded (sartak)
801 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
802 instead of just 1 (sartak)
805 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
807 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
808 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
809 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
811 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
812 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
813 recognizes it correct this time.
815 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
816 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
819 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
820 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
823 - now stores the instance of the instance
824 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
825 and deletes it when the cache is blown
826 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
827 the options used to make it immutable as well as
828 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
830 * Class::MOP::Package
831 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
832 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
833 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
837 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
839 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
840 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
842 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
843 names now throw a more direct error in
845 - tests for this and other aspects of
851 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
852 Class::MOP::Attribute
853 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
856 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
857 (late night release engineering)--
859 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
860 changes in this release
862 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
863 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
864 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
867 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
868 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
869 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
872 * Class::MOP::Package
873 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
875 - inlining a few calls to &name with
876 direct HASH access key access
877 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
878 a HASH of items based on a type filter
879 similar to list_all_package_symbols
880 - added tests for this
883 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
884 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
885 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
886 - added more descriptive error message to help
887 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
888 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
890 * Class::MOP::Immutable
891 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
893 - added tests for this
895 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
897 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
898 function from MRO::Compat
899 - All XS based functionality now has a
900 Pure Perl alternative
901 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
902 can now be used to force non-XS versions
905 * Class::MOP::Attribute
906 - add has_read_method and has_write_method
907 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
908 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
910 - added tests for this
912 * Class::MOP::Immutable
913 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
914 making the class immutable
917 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
918 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
919 allow for it to work.
920 - added tests for this
922 * Class::MOP::Attribute
924 Class::MOP::Immutable
925 - any time a method meta object is constructed
926 we make sure to pass the correct package and
927 method name information
930 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
931 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
932 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
933 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
934 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
935 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
936 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
937 throw an error if these are not supplied.
938 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
939 and now store the package_name and name attributes
942 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
943 Module::Install support has been removed
945 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
946 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
947 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
948 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
952 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
953 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
955 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
956 when it has no init_arg
957 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
958 to support c3 classes.
960 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
963 - making sure that load_class never gets
964 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
965 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
968 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
970 - improved error handling in ->create method
971 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
972 will be used to populate values
973 - added tests for this
976 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
977 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
983 Class::MOP::Attribute
984 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
985 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
987 * Class::MOP::Instance
988 Class::MOP::Immutable
989 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
992 - fixed the filename length on several
993 test files so we install on VMS better
995 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
996 should be catfile (RT #32385)
998 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
999 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1002 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1003 Class::MOP::Attribute
1004 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1005 to indicate that no constructor args can
1006 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1007 - added tests for this
1008 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1011 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1012 feature instead of the silly hack from
1013 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1015 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1017 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1020 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1021 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1024 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1025 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1026 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1029 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1030 constant so that we can take advantage
1031 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1034 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1035 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1036 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1037 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1038 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1039 - added tests for this
1041 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1042 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1043 the transformer which immutablized it
1045 * Class::MOP::Instance
1046 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1047 - added tests for this
1049 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1051 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1052 transformation arguments are saved
1054 - added tests for this
1056 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1057 - fixed a bug (see above)
1059 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1062 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1063 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1064 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1067 - removed the dependency on B
1068 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1069 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1070 the B fiddling we were doing with
1071 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1072 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1073 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1074 be used to help manage method caching.
1077 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1078 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1079 even more accurate caching information.
1080 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1083 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1084 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1085 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1086 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1088 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1089 of the new method map caching features
1091 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1092 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1093 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1094 HASH ref case, which makes the
1095 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1096 - added more tests for this
1098 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1099 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1100 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1101 - added more tests for this
1103 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1105 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1106 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1107 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1109 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1110 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1111 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1112 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1114 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1115 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1116 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1118 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1121 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1123 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1126 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1127 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1128 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1129 call through (groditi)
1131 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1132 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1133 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1134 it is defined (groditi)
1136 * Class::MOP::Instance
1137 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1138 it is defined (groditi)
1140 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1141 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1142 - removed the relevant attributes
1144 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1145 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1146 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1147 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1149 - added tests for this
1150 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1151 non-inlined constructors.
1152 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1154 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1155 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1156 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1157 - added tests for this
1160 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1161 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1164 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1166 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1167 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1169 * Class::MOP::Package
1170 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1173 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1175 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1177 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1178 it manually now so that people can use this
1179 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1181 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1183 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1184 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1185 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1188 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1189 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1190 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1191 - removed unused variable
1192 - added create_immutable_transformer
1193 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1194 - tests for this (groditi)
1197 - Immutability can now be undone,
1198 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1199 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1200 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1201 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1202 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1203 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1204 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1205 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1206 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1208 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1209 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1211 * Class::MOP::Package
1212 - we now deal with stub methods properly

1216 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1217 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1218 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1220 - added tests and POD for this
1223 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1224 handles undef values correctly.
1225 - added tests for this
1226 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1227 will not get reaped when instances still
1228 exist which need to reference them. This is
1229 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1230 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1231 many work arounds out in the wild.
1232 - added tests for this by groditi
1233 - updated docs to explain this
1236 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1237 - added tests for this behavior
1239 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1240 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1243 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1244 - added tests and docs for these
1246 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1247 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1248 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1252 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1257 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1258 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1259 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1260 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1261 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1264 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1266 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1267 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1268 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1271 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1272 immutable transformation instead of
1273 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1275 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1276 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1277 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1278 be coming eventually.
1281 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1283 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1284 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1288 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1291 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1293 - constructor generation is now handled by
1294 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1296 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1297 - created this to handle constructor generation
1298 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1300 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1302 - attributes now delegate to the
1303 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1306 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1307 - all accessor generation functions from
1308 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1310 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1313 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1314 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1318 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1319 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1320 they are aliased from the originals
1321 - fixed tests to reflect
1322 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1324 - adjusted tests for this
1325 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1328 * Class::MOP::Method
1330 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1331 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1332 - adjusted tests to compensate
1333 - adjusted docs for this
1336 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1337 encapsulate most of the work into the
1338 &get_method_map method
1339 - made several adjustments for the change
1340 in Class::MOP::Method
1341 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1342 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1343 old one before installing the new one
1344 - added tests for this
1345 - adjusted docs for this
1347 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1348 - added caching of &get_method_map
1349 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1350 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1353 - added filtering capabilities to
1354 &list_all_package_symbols
1356 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1358 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1359 the $:version and such just actually goes
1360 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1361 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1363 - The &create method now requires that all
1364 but the package name now is passed in as
1365 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1366 - updated docs and tests for this
1368 * Class::MOP::Object
1369 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1386 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
1387 - fixed all tests for this
1389 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1390 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1391 are no longer allowed for defaults
1392 - added tests for this
1394 * Class::MOP::Package
1395 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1396 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1397 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1399 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1401 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1402 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1403 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1404 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1406 * Class::MOP::Package
1407 - refactored entire class, this is now
1408 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1409 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1410 - added many tests for this
1411 - this class is now a subclass of
1413 - added some tests to reflect this
1416 - refactored all symbol table access to
1417 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1419 * Class::MOP::Module
1420 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1421 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1422 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1423 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1424 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1425 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1426 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1427 - added tests for this

1442 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1443 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1445 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1446 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1447 the value of the attribute for a particular
1450 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1451 ---------------------------------------
1452 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1453 to introduce the immutable features which
1454 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1455 This support should still be considered
1456 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1457 ---------------------------------------
1459 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1461 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1462 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1463 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1466 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1467 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1468 ::Package and now inherited
1469 - added tests for this
1471 * Class::MOP::Instance
1472 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1473 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1474 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1475 instance creation (of course)
1478 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1479 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1480 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1481 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1482 table manipulation methods.
1484 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1485 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1487 - small change in &create so that it behaves
1488 properly when inherited
1489 - small fix to &clone_instance
1491 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1492 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1493 - This release works in combination with
1494 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1495 because it introduces a new instance
1496 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1500 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1501 - added tests for this
1502 - improved method modifier wrapping
1504 * Class::MOP::Instance
1505 - added new instance protocol
1506 - added tests for this
1507 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1509 - Class::MOP::Attribute
1513 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
1514 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
1516 - updated tests for this
1519 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
1520 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
1522 - added tests for this

1539 - added tests for this
1540 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1541 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1542 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1543 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1544 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1545 delegates appropriately
1547 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1548 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1549 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1550 called initialize_instance_slot
1553 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
1554 initialize_instance_slot method
1556 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1577 - added test case for this
1579 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1581 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1582 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1583 available in DESTORY calls
1585 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1586 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1587 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1589 * Class::MOP::Method
1590 - added &package_name, &name and
1591 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1592 which were formerly private subs in
1595 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1596 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1597 before, after and around modifiers
1598 - added tests and docs for this feature
1601 - improved &get_package_symbol
1602 - &version and &superclasses now use it
1603 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method

1608 - &add_around_method_modifier
1609 - added tests and docs for these

1613 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1614 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1618 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test

1622 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
1624 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1627 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1628 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1629 - added docs and tests
1631 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1632 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1633 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1634 be considered "ready to use".
1636 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1637 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1638 - test coverage is now at 99%
1641 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1642 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1643 metaclass pragma instead.

1656 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1658 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1659 metaclass a little more straightforward
1662 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1663 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1664 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1665 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1669 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1670 is now more useful for subclasses
1671 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1672 hash of attribute meta objects
1673 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1674 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1675 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1676 attribute meta-object itself
1677 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1678 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1679 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1689 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1690 - added tests and docs for this
1693 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1695 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1697 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006

1700 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1701 attributes/methods respectively
1704 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1707 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1708 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1709 - added new example:
1712 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1714 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6

1739 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1740 - adding POD documentation to the examples
