1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub
7 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
9 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
10 releases. (nothingmuch)
13 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
15 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
16 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
17 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
20 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
23 * Class::MOP::Instance
24 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
26 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
28 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
29 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
30 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
31 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
34 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
35 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
39 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
40 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
41 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
42 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
43 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
46 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
47 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
48 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
51 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
52 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
53 consistency (nothingmuch)
54 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
56 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
57 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
58 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
59 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
62 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
63 * Class::MOP::Immutable
64 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
66 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
68 * Class::MOP::Instance
69 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
70 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
74 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
75 the class is already loaded (sartak)
76 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
77 instead of just 1 (sartak)
80 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
82 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
83 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
84 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
86 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
87 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
88 recognizes it correct this time.
90 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
91 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
94 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
95 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
98 - now stores the instance of the instance
99 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
100 and deletes it when the cache is blown
101 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
102 the options used to make it immutable as well as
103 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
105 * Class::MOP::Package
106 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
107 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
108 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
112 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
114 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
115 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
117 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
118 names now throw a more direct error in
120 - tests for this and other aspects of
126 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
127 Class::MOP::Attribute
128 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
131 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
132 (late night release engineering)--
134 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
135 changes in this release
137 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
138 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
139 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
142 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
143 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
144 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
147 * Class::MOP::Package
148 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
150 - inlining a few calls to &name with
151 direct HASH access key access
152 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
153 a HASH of items based on a type filter
154 similar to list_all_package_symbols
155 - added tests for this
158 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
159 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
160 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
161 - added more descriptive error message to help
162 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
163 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
165 * Class::MOP::Immutable
166 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
168 - added tests for this
170 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
172 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
173 function from MRO::Compat
174 - All XS based functionality now has a
175 Pure Perl alternative
176 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
177 can now be used to force non-XS versions
180 * Class::MOP::Attribute

182 - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
183 anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
185 - added tests for this
187 * Class::MOP::Immutable
188 - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
189 making the class immutable
192 - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
193 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
194 allow for it to work.
195 - added tests for this
197 * Class::MOP::Attribute
199 Class::MOP::Immutable
200 - any time a method meta object is constructed
201 we make sure to pass the correct package and
202 method name information
205 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
206 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
207 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
208 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
209 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
210 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
211 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
212 throw an error if these are not supplied.
213 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
214 and now store the package_name and name attributes
217 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
218 Module::Install support has been removed
220 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
221 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
222 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
223 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
227 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
228 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
230 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
231 when it has no init_arg
232 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
233 to support c3 classes.
235 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
238 - making sure that load_class never gets
239 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
240 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
243 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
245 - improved error handling in ->create method
246 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
247 will be used to populate values
248 - added tests for this
251 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
252 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
258 Class::MOP::Attribute
259 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
260 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
262 * Class::MOP::Instance
263 Class::MOP::Immutable
264 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
267 - fixed the filename length on several
268 test files so we install on VMS better
270 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
271 should be catfile (RT #32385)

274 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
277 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor

280 to indicate that no constructor args can
281 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
282 - added tests for this
283 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
286 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
287 feature instead of the silly hack from
288 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
290 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
292 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
295 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
296 - removed assumptions about the existence of
299 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
300 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
301 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
304 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
305 constant so that we can take advantage
306 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
309 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
310 optimize the &linearized_isa method
311 and avoid the hack/check for circular
312 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
313 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
314 - added tests for this
316 * Class::MOP::Immutable
317 - the immutable class now keeps track of

327 transformation arguments are saved
329 - added tests for this
331 * Class::MOP::Immutable
332 - fixed a bug (see above)
334 * Class::MOP::Attribute
337 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
338 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
339 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
342 - removed the dependency on B
343 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
344 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
345 the B fiddling we were doing with
346 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
347 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
348 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
349 be used to help manage method caching.
352 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
353 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
354 even more accurate caching information.
355 blblack++ for that stuff :)
358 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
359 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
360 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
361 track of when we need to re-fetch the
363 - Several small improvements to take advantage
364 of the new method map caching features
366 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
367 * Class::MOP::Attribute

373 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
374 * Class::MOP::Attribute
375 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
376 - added more tests for this
378 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
380 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
381 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
382 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
384 * Class::MOP::Attribute
385 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
386 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
387 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
389 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
390 * Class::MOP::Attribute
391 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
393 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

396 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
398 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
401 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
402 construct_class_instance (groditi)
403 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
404 call through (groditi)
406 * Class::MOP::Attribute
407 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
408 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
409 it is defined (groditi)

417 - removed the relevant attributes
419 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
420 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
421 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
422 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
424 - added tests for this
425 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
426 non-inlined constructors.
427 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
429 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
430 - added this class as an abstract base for the
431 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
432 - added tests for this
435 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)

444 * Class::MOP::Package
445 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
448 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
450 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
452 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
453 it manually now so that people can use this
454 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
456 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
458 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
459 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
460 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
463 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
464 * Class::MOP::Immutable
465 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
466 - removed unused variable
467 - added create_immutable_transformer
468 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
469 - tests for this (groditi)
472 - Immutability can now be undone,
473 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
474 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
475 for details see comments next to make_immutable
476 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
477 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
478 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
479 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
480 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
481 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
483 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
484 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
486 * Class::MOP::Package
487 - we now deal with stub methods properly
488 - added tests for this
489 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
491 * Class::MOP::Attribute
492 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
493 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
495 - added tests and POD for this
498 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
499 handles undef values correctly.
500 - added tests for this
501 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
502 will not get reaped when instances still
503 exist which need to reference them. This is
504 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
505 obscure enough feature that there are not too
506 many work arounds out in the wild.
507 - added tests for this by groditi
508 - updated docs to explain this
511 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
512 - added tests for this behavior
514 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
515 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
518 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
519 - added tests and docs for these
521 * Class::MOP::Attribute
522 - default now checks the instance with defined to
523 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
527 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
533 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
534 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
535 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
536 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
539 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
541 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
542 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
543 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
546 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
547 immutable transformation instead of
548 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
550 + Class::MOP::Immutable
551 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
552 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
553 be coming eventually.
556 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
558 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
559 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
563 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
566 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
568 - constructor generation is now handled by
569 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
571 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
572 - created this to handle constructor generation
573 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
575 * Class::MOP::Attribute
577 - attributes now delegate to the
578 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
581 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
582 - all accessor generation functions from
583 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
585 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
587 * scripts/class_browser.pl
588 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
589 on this to come. Comments and patches are
593 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
594 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
595 they are aliased from the originals
596 - fixed tests to reflect
597 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
599 - adjusted tests for this
600 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
605 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
606 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
607 - adjusted tests to compensate
608 - adjusted docs for this
611 - changed how methods are dealt with to
612 encapsulate most of the work into the
613 &get_method_map method
614 - made several adjustments for the change
615 in Class::MOP::Method
616 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
617 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
618 old one before installing the new one
619 - added tests for this
620 - adjusted docs for this
622 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
623 - added caching of &get_method_map
624 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
625 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
627 * Class::MOP::Package
628 - added filtering capabilities to
629 &list_all_package_symbols
631 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
633 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
634 the $:version and such just actually goes
635 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
636 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
638 - The &create method now requires that all
639 but the package name now is passed in as
640 named parameters. See docs for more info.
641 - updated docs and tests for this
644 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
648 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
649 which do not store things in the instance
650 - added the %:methods attribute definition to
653 ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
655 0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
657 - moved the metaclass cache out of here
658 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
661 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
662 - fixed all tests for this
664 * Class::MOP::Attribute
665 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
666 are no longer allowed for defaults
667 - added tests for this
669 * Class::MOP::Package
670 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
671 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
672 always reloaded from the symbol table.
674 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
676 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
677 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
678 metamodel is more complete (and closer
679 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
681 * Class::MOP::Package
682 - refactored entire class, this is now
683 the primary gateway between the metaclass
684 and the Perl 5 symbol table
685 - added many tests for this
686 - this class is now a subclass of
688 - added some tests to reflect this
691 - refactored all symbol table access to
692 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
695 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
696 so that Module has a version as an attribute
697 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
698 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
699 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
700 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
701 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
702 - added tests for this
704 * Class::MOP::Instance
705 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots

718 anywhere within the class hierarchy
720 * Class::MOP::Attribute
721 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
722 the value of the attribute for a particular
725 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
726 ---------------------------------------
727 This is the first version of Class::MOP
728 to introduce the immutable features which
729 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
730 This support should still be considered
731 experimental, but moving towards stability.
732 ---------------------------------------
734 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
736 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
737 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
738 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
741 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
742 - several methods moved to ::Module and
743 ::Package and now inherited
744 - added tests for this
746 * Class::MOP::Instance
747 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
748 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
749 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
750 instance creation (of course)
753 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
754 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
755 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
756 because they are now more general purpose symbol
757 table manipulation methods.
759 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
760 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
762 - small change in &create so that it behaves
763 properly when inherited
764 - small fix to &clone_instance
766 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
767 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
768 - This release works in combination with
769 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
770 because it introduces a new instance
771 sub-protocol and has not yet been
775 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
776 - added tests for this
777 - improved method modifier wrapping
779 * Class::MOP::Instance
780 - added new instance protocol
781 - added tests for this
782 - changed all relevant modules and examples
784 - Class::MOP::Attribute
788 - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
789 itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
791 - updated tests for this
794 - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
795 instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
797 - added tests for this
798 - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the

814 - added tests for this
815 - added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
816 and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
817 access to all the cached metaclass objects.
818 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
819 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
820 delegates appropriately
822 * Class::MOP::Attribute
823 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
824 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
825 called initialize_instance_slot

829 initialize_instance_slot method
831 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

854 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
856 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
857 our cache in global destruction, and so are not
858 available in DESTORY calls
860 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
861 - removed the dependency for Clone since
862 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.

866 &fully_qualified_name methods, some of
867 which were formerly private subs in
870 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
871 - allows for a method to be wrapped with
872 before, after and around modifiers
873 - added tests and docs for this feature
876 - improved &get_package_symbol
877 - &version and &superclasses now use it
878 - methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
880 - added methods to install CLOS-style method modifiers
881 - &add_before_method_modifier
882 - &add_after_method_modifier
883 - &add_around_method_modifier
884 - added tests and docs for these

888 0.12 Thurs. Feb 23, 2006
889 - reduced the dependency on B, no need to always
893 - added docs to the C3 method dispatch order test

897 0.11 Mon Feb. 20, 2006
899 - added example of changing method dispatch order to C3
902 - changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
903 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
904 - added docs and tests
906 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
907 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
908 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
909 be considered "ready to use".
911 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
912 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
913 - test coverage is now at 99%
916 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
917 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
918 metaclass pragma instead.
921 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
922 error/edge-case tests
924 * Class::MOP::Attribute
925 - fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
926 error/edge-case tests
929 - fixing the AttributesWithHistory example, it was broken.
931 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
933 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
934 metaclass a little more straightforward
937 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
938 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
939 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
940 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
944 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
945 is now more useful for subclasses
946 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
947 hash of attribute meta objects
948 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
949 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
950 since all the same info can be gotten from the
951 attribute meta-object itself
952 - updated docs & tests to reflect
953 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
954 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
955 - added docs & tests for this
956 - added Clone as a dependency
957 - added &new_object and &clone_object convience methods to
958 return blessed new or cloned instances
959 - they handle Class::MOP::Class singletons correctly too
960 - added docs & tests for this
961 - cleaned up the &constuct_class_instance so that it behaves
962 more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
963 - added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
964 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
965 - added tests and docs for this
968 - adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
970 - adjusting code to use the metaclass pragma
972 0.05 Sat Feb. 4, 2006
974 - added the &attribute_metaclass and &method_metaclass
975 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
976 attributes/methods respectively
979 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
982 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
983 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class

989 - some documentation suggestions from #perl6
991 * Class::MOP::Attribute

1007 - refactored the InsideOut example to take advantage
1008 of the Class::MOP::Attribute refactoring
1009 - changed example files to .pod files and hide thier
1010 package names from PAUSE (I don't want to own these
