Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
+0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
+
+ * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
+ - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
+ failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
+ releases. (nothingmuch)
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
+
+0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
+ * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
+ - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Makefile.PL
+ - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
+ Module::Install.
+
+ * Class::MOP::Instance
+ - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
+
+0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
+ * Makefile.PL
+ - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
+ module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
+ as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
+ without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * many modules
+ - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
+ '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
+ (nothingmuch).
+
+ * many modules
+ - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
+ allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
+ hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
+ making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
+ any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
+
+ * Many modules
+ - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
+ facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
+ next several releases. (nothingmuch)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
+ compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
+ consistency (nothingmuch)
+ - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
+ (nothingmuch)
+ - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
+ invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
+ remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
+ definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
+ (nothingmuch)
+
+0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Immutable
+ - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
+ call ->meta (stevan)
+ - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Instance
+ - inlined initialize slot didn't match
+ non-inlined (nothingmuch)
+
+0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
+ * Class::MOP
+ - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
+ the class is already loaded (sartak)
+ - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
+ instead of just 1 (sartak)
+
+ * elsewhere
+ - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
+ - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
+ the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
+
+0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
+ - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
+ recognizes it correct this time.
+
+0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
+ - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
+ to 0.60.
+
+0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
+ !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - now stores the instance of the instance
+ metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
+ and deletes it when the cache is blown
+ - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
+ the options used to make it immutable as well as
+ the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
+ now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
+ string. All internal usages now use the HASH
+ ref version.
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
+ to avoid a segfault
+ - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
+ was improved in Moose's ClassName type
+ check (Sartak)
+ - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
+ names now throw a more direct error in
+ load_class (Sartak)
+ - tests for this and other aspects of
+ load_class (Sartak)
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ Class::MOP::Class
+ Class::MOP::Method
+ Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
+ Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - switched usage of reftype to ref because
+ it is much faster
+
+0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
+ (late night release engineering)--
+
+ - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
+ changes in this release
+
+0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
+ !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
+ || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
+ instead of manually grabbing each symbol
+ - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
+ called so much
+
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
+ &namespace so much
+ - inlining a few calls to &name with
+ direct HASH access key access
+ - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
+ a HASH of items based on a type filter
+ similar to list_all_package_symbols
+ - added tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Method
+ Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
+ Class::MOP::Method::Generated
+ Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
+ - added more descriptive error message to help
+ keep people from wasting time tracking an error
+ that is easily fixed by upgrading.
+
+ * Class::MOP::Immutable
+ - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
+ needs one
+ - added tests for this
+
+0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
+ * Class::MOP
+ - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
+ function from MRO::Compat
+ - All XS based functionality now has a
+ Pure Perl alternative
+ - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
+ can now be used to force non-XS versions
+ to always be used
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - add has_read_method and has_write_method
+ - get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
+ anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
+ possible
+ - added tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Immutable
+ - added the ability to "wrap" methods when
+ making the class immutable
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
+ dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
+ allow for it to work.
+ - added tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ Class::MOP::Class
+ Class::MOP::Immutable
+ - any time a method meta object is constructed
+ we make sure to pass the correct package and
+ method name information
+
+ * Class::MOP::Method
+ Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
+ Class::MOP::Method::Generated
+ Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
+ Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
+ - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
+ 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
+ is to help support the no-XS version, and will
+ throw an error if these are not supplied.
+ - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
+ and now store the package_name and name attributes
+ correctly as well
+
+ ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
+ Module::Install support has been removed
+
+0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
+ - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
+ - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
+ for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
+ perl versions
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - rebless_instance now returns the instance
+ it has just blessed, this is mostly to
+ facilitate chaining
+ - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
+ when it has no init_arg
+ - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
+ to support c3 classes.
+
+0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
+ * Class::MOP
+ metaclass.pm
+ - making sure that load_class never gets
+ passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
+ Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
+

+ - improved error handling in ->create method
+ - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
+ will be used to populate values
+ - added tests for this
+

+ that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ Class::MOP::Package
+ Class::MOP::Module
+ Class::MOP::Method
+ Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
+ but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
+
+ * Class::MOP::Instance
+ Class::MOP::Immutable
+ - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
+
+ * t/
+ - fixed the filename length on several
+ test files so we install on VMS better
+ (RT #32295)
+ - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
+ should be catfile (RT #32385)
+

+ - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
+ constant so that we can take advantage
+ of some of the nice bits of 5.10
