1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
4 - Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin"
5 classes. This made adding some new features to Moose much
9 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
11 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
13 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
14 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
15 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
17 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
19 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
21 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
22 modules (nothingmuch).
25 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
30 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
31 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
32 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
35 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
36 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
39 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
40 * Class::MOP::Attribute
41 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
42 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
43 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
44 attributes. (nothingmuch)
46 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
48 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
49 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
50 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
51 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
52 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
55 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
56 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
59 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
60 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
62 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
63 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
64 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
66 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
68 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
71 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
74 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
75 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
76 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
79 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
80 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
85 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
88 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
89 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
91 * Class::MOP::Attribute
93 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
97 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
98 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
99 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
102 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
103 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
104 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
105 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
106 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
107 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
111 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
112 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
116 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
117 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
118 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
122 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
123 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
126 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
127 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
128 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
132 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
133 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
134 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
135 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
136 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
139 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
140 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
142 * Class::MOP::Instance
143 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
144 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
146 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
148 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
150 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
153 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
155 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
156 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
159 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
160 changed back in 0.82_01)
161 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
162 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
165 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
166 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
168 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
170 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
171 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
172 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
175 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
176 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
179 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
180 * Class::MOP::Attribute
181 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
183 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
184 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
185 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
188 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
191 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
192 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
193 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
194 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
195 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
198 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
201 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
203 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
207 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
208 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
209 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
210 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
214 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
217 * Class::MOP::Package
218 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
221 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
224 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
226 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
229 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
230 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
231 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
232 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
235 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
236 was removed in 0.82_01.
238 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
239 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
240 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
241 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
242 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
243 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
244 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
245 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
246 for the Moose compatibility handling code
247 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
249 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
251 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
252 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
254 * Class::MOP::Immutable
255 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
256 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
257 provides its own constructor (doy)
259 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
262 * Class::MOP::Instance
263 * Class::MOP::Attribute
264 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
265 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
266 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
267 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
270 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
271 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
273 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
275 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
276 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
278 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
279 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
280 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
281 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
282 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
285 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
286 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
287 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
288 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
289 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
290 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
291 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
293 - Class::MOP::Instance
294 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
298 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
299 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
300 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
302 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
303 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
304 when an object is constructed)
305 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
307 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
308 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
309 when an object is constructed)
310 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
311 - attributes => _attributes
312 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
314 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
316 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
317 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
318 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
321 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
322 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
323 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
326 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
327 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
328 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
329 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
333 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
334 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
335 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
336 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
337 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
338 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
340 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
341 * No changes from 0.78_02.
343 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
345 * Class::MOP::Immutable
346 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
347 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
348 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
349 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
353 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
354 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
357 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
358 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
359 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
361 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
363 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
364 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
367 * Class::MOP::Instance
368 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
369 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
370 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
371 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
373 * Class::MOP::Attribute
374 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
375 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
376 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
378 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
379 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
380 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
384 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
385 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
386 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
387 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
389 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
390 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
391 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
392 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
393 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
394 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
395 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
396 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
397 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
400 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
401 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
404 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
406 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
407 * No changes from 0.77_01
409 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
411 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
412 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
413 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
414 against the pure Perl version of this code.
416 * Class::MOP::Instance
417 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
418 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
421 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
423 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
427 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
428 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
432 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
433 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
435 * Class::MOP::Package
436 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
437 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
440 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
444 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
445 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
446 near future release. You've been warned.
448 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
449 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
450 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
451 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
453 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
454 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
457 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
458 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
461 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
464 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
465 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
467 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
469 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
470 sharing an immutable transformer object
471 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
472 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
474 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
476 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
477 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
478 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
479 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
481 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
482 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
484 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
486 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
487 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
489 * t/082_get_code_info.t
490 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
491 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
492 succeed in that case.
494 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
495 * Class::MOP::Package
496 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
499 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
500 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
502 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
503 * Class::MOP::Immutable
504 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
505 the constructor was inlined.
506 * Class::MOP::Package
507 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
508 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
509 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
511 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
512 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
514 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
516 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
517 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
518 * Class::MOP::Immutable
519 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
520 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
521 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
524 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
525 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
526 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
527 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
528 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
529 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
530 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
531 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
532 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
533 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
535 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
538 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
539 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
542 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
544 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
545 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
547 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
549 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
550 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
551 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
554 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
555 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
556 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
559 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
561 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
562 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
564 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
565 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
566 times in an eval. (t0m)
568 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
570 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
571 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
572 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
573 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
574 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
575 - added test for this
577 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
578 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
579 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
582 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
583 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
587 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
588 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
589 aliased methods and "real" methods.
591 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
592 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
593 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
594 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
597 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
598 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
601 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
602 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
603 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
604 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
605 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
606 for sad systems without a compiler.
609 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
610 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
613 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
614 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
615 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
617 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
619 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
620 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
621 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
622 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
624 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
625 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
626 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
627 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
629 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
631 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
632 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
635 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
636 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
637 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
639 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
641 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
643 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
644 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
645 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
647 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
648 * Class::MOP::Package
649 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
650 releases. (nothingmuch)
653 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
655 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
656 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
657 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
660 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
663 * Class::MOP::Instance
664 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
666 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
668 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
669 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
670 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
671 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
674 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
675 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
679 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
680 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
681 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
682 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
683 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
686 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
687 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
688 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
691 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
692 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
693 consistency (nothingmuch)
694 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
696 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
697 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
698 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
699 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
702 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
703 * Class::MOP::Immutable
704 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
706 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
708 * Class::MOP::Instance
709 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
710 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
712 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
714 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
715 the class is already loaded (sartak)
716 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
717 instead of just 1 (sartak)
720 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
722 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
723 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
724 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
726 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
727 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
728 recognizes it correct this time.
730 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
731 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
734 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
735 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
738 - now stores the instance of the instance
739 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
740 and deletes it when the cache is blown
741 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
742 the options used to make it immutable as well as
743 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
745 * Class::MOP::Package
746 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
747 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
748 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
752 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
754 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
755 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
757 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
758 names now throw a more direct error in
760 - tests for this and other aspects of
766 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
767 Class::MOP::Attribute
768 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
771 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
772 (late night release engineering)--
774 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
775 changes in this release
777 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
778 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
779 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
782 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
783 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
784 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
787 * Class::MOP::Package
788 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
790 - inlining a few calls to &name with
791 direct HASH access key access
792 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
793 a HASH of items based on a type filter
794 similar to list_all_package_symbols
795 - added tests for this
798 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
799 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
800 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
801 - added more descriptive error message to help
802 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
803 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
805 * Class::MOP::Immutable
806 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
808 - added tests for this
810 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
812 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
813 function from MRO::Compat
814 - All XS based functionality now has a
815 Pure Perl alternative
816 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
817 can now be used to force non-XS versions

828 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
829 making the class immutable
832 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
833 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
834 allow for it to work.
835 - added tests for this
837 * Class::MOP::Attribute
839 Class::MOP::Immutable
840 - any time a method meta object is constructed
841 we make sure to pass the correct package and
842 method name information
845 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
846 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
847 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
848 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
849 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
850 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
851 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
852 throw an error if these are not supplied.
853 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
854 and now store the package_name and name attributes
857 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
858 Module::Install support has been removed
860 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
861 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
862 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
863 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
867 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
868 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
870 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
871 when it has no init_arg
872 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
873 to support c3 classes.
875 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
878 - making sure that load_class never gets
879 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
880 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
883 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
885 - improved error handling in ->create method
886 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
887 will be used to populate values
888 - added tests for this
891 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
892 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
898 Class::MOP::Attribute
899 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
900 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
902 * Class::MOP::Instance
903 Class::MOP::Immutable
904 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
907 - fixed the filename length on several
908 test files so we install on VMS better
910 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
911 should be catfile (RT #32385)
913 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
914 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
917 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

920 to indicate that no constructor args can
921 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
922 - added tests for this
923 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
926 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
927 feature instead of the silly hack from
928 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
930 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
932 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
935 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
936 - removed assumptions about the existence of
939 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
940 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
941 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
944 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
945 constant so that we can take advantage
946 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
949 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
950 optimize the &linearized_isa method
951 and avoid the hack/check for circular
952 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
953 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
954 - added tests for this
956 * Class::MOP::Immutable
957 - the immutable class now keeps track of
958 the transformer which immutablized it
960 * Class::MOP::Instance
961 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
962 - added tests for this
964 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007

978 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
979 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
982 - removed the dependency on B
983 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
984 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
985 the B fiddling we were doing with
986 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
987 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
988 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
989 be used to help manage method caching.
992 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
993 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
994 even more accurate caching information.
995 blblack++ for that stuff :)
998 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
999 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1000 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1001 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1003 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1004 of the new method map caching features
1006 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1007 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1008 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1009 HASH ref case, which makes the

1011 - added more tests for this
1013 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1014 * Class::MOP::Attribute

1016 - added more tests for this
1018 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1020 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1021 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1022 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1024 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1025 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1026 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1027 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1029 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1030 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1031 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1033 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

1041 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1042 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1043 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1044 call through (groditi)
1046 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1047 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)

1057 - removed the relevant attributes
1059 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1060 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1061 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1062 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1064 - added tests for this
1065 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1066 non-inlined constructors.
1067 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1069 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1070 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1071 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1072 - added tests for this
1075 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)

1085 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1088 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1090 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1092 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1093 it manually now so that people can use this
1094 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1096 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1098 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1099 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1100 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1103 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1104 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1105 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1106 - removed unused variable
1107 - added create_immutable_transformer
1108 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1109 - tests for this (groditi)
1112 - Immutability can now be undone,
1113 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1114 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1115 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1116 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1117 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1118 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1119 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1120 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1121 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1123 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1124 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1126 * Class::MOP::Package
1127 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1128 - added tests for this
1129 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1131 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1132 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1133 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1135 - added tests and POD for this
1138 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1139 handles undef values correctly.
1140 - added tests for this
1141 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1142 will not get reaped when instances still
1143 exist which need to reference them. This is
1144 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1145 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1146 many work arounds out in the wild.
1147 - added tests for this by groditi
1148 - updated docs to explain this
1151 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1152 - added tests for this behavior
1154 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1155 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1158 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1159 - added tests and docs for these
1161 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1162 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1163 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1167 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1172 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1173 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1174 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1175 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1176 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1179 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1181 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1182 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1183 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1186 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1187 immutable transformation instead of
1188 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1190 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1191 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1192 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1193 be coming eventually.
1196 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1198 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1199 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1203 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1206 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1208 - constructor generation is now handled by
1209 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1211 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1212 - created this to handle constructor generation
1213 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1215 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1217 - attributes now delegate to the
1218 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1221 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor

1223 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1225 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006

1228 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1229 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1233 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1234 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1235 they are aliased from the originals
1236 - fixed tests to reflect
1237 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1239 - adjusted tests for this
1240 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1243 * Class::MOP::Method
1245 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1246 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1247 - adjusted tests to compensate
1248 - adjusted docs for this
1251 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1252 encapsulate most of the work into the
1253 &get_method_map method
1254 - made several adjustments for the change
1255 in Class::MOP::Method
1256 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1257 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1258 old one before installing the new one
1259 - added tests for this
1260 - adjusted docs for this
1262 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1263 - added caching of &get_method_map
1264 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1265 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

1268 - added filtering capabilities to
1269 &list_all_package_symbols
1271 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1273 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1274 the $:version and such just actually goes
1275 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1276 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1278 - The &create method now requires that all
1279 but the package name now is passed in as
1280 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1281 - updated docs and tests for this
1283 * Class::MOP::Object
1284 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper

1306 are no longer allowed for defaults
1307 - added tests for this
1309 * Class::MOP::Package
1310 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1311 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1312 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1314 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1316 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1317 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1318 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1319 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1321 * Class::MOP::Package
1322 - refactored entire class, this is now
1323 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1324 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1325 - added many tests for this
1326 - this class is now a subclass of
1328 - added some tests to reflect this

1332 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1334 * Class::MOP::Module
1335 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1336 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1337 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1338 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1339 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1340 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1341 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1342 - added tests for this

1358 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1360 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1361 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1362 the value of the attribute for a particular
1365 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1366 ---------------------------------------
1367 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1368 to introduce the immutable features which
1369 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1370 This support should still be considered
1371 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1372 ---------------------------------------
1374 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1376 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1377 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1378 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1381 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1382 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1383 ::Package and now inherited
1384 - added tests for this
1386 * Class::MOP::Instance
1387 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1388 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1389 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1390 instance creation (of course)
1393 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1394 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1395 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1396 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1397 table manipulation methods.
1399 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006

1451 0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
1453 - added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
1454 - added tests for this
1455 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
1456 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
1457 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
1458 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1459 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1460 delegates appropriately
1462 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1463 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1464 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1465 called initialize_instance_slot
1468 - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
1469 initialize_instance_slot method
1471 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
1473 - cleaned up how the before/after/around method
1474 modifiers get named with Sub::Name
1476 0.23 Thurs. March 30, 2006
1478 - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled
1479 during instance construction (bug found by chansen)
1481 * Class::MOP::Attribute

1483 passed more than one argument (attempting to write
1485 - added tests for this
1486 - adjusted all /example files to comply
1488 0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
1490 - localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
1491 because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
1492 - added test case for this
1494 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1496 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1497 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
1498 available in DESTORY calls
1500 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1501 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1502 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
1504 * Class::MOP::Method
1505 - added &package_name, &name and
1506 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
1507 which were formerly private subs in
1510 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
1511 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
1512 before, after and around modifiers
1513 - added tests and docs for this feature
1516 - improved &get_package_symbol
1517 - &version and &superclasses now use it
1518 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
1520 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
1521 - &add_before_method_modifier
1522 - &add_after_method_modifier
1523 - &add_around_method_modifier
1524 - added tests and docs for these
1525 - added &find_next_method_by_name which finds the
1526 equivalent of SUPER::method_name
1528 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
1529 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
1533 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test
1534 - fixed missing Algorithm::C3 dependency by making
1535 the test skip if it is not installed
1537 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
1539 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
1542 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
1543 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1544 - added docs and tests
1546 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1547 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1548 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1549 be considered "ready to use".
1551 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1552 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1553 - test coverage is now at 99%
1556 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1557 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
1558 metaclass pragma instead.
1561 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1562 error/edge-case tests
1564 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1565 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
1566 error/edge-case tests
1569 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
1571 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1573 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1574 metaclass a little more straightforward
1577 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1578 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1579 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1580 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1584 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1585 is now more useful for subclasses
1586 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1587 hash of attribute meta objects
1588 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1589 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1590 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1591 attribute meta-object itself
1592 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1593 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1594 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
1595 - added docs & tests for this
1596 - added Clone as a dependency
1597 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
1598 return blessed new or cloned instances
1599 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
1600 - added docs & tests for this
1601 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
1602 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
1603 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
1604 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1605 - added tests and docs for this
1608 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
1610 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
1612 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
1614 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
1615 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1616 attributes/methods respectively
1619 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1622 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1623 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class
1624 - added new example:
1627 0.04 Fri Feb. 3, 2006
1629 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
1631 * Class::MOP::Attribute

1647 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
1648 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
1649 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
1650 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
1651 namespaces really, they are just examples)
1653 0.02 Thurs Feb. 2, 2006
1654 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1655 - adding POD documentation to the examples
