Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
-0.25
+0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
+ ---------------------------------------
+ This is the first version of Class::MOP
+ to introduce the immutable features which
+ will be used for optimizating the MOP.
+ This support should still be considered
+ experimental, but moving towards stability.
+ ---------------------------------------
+
+ * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
+
+ * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
+ Class::MOP::Module classes to more
+ closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
+ - several methods moved to ::Module and
+ ::Package and now inherited
+ - added tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Instance
+ - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
+ classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
+ - added an inline_create_instance to inline
+ instance creation (of course)
+
+ ** API CHANGE **
+ - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
+ methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
+ and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
+ because they are now more general purpose symbol
+ table manipulation methods.
+
+0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
+ ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - small change in &create so that it behaves
+ properly when inherited
+ - small fix to &clone_instance
+
+0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
+ ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
+ - This release works in combination with
+ Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
+ because it introduces a new instance
+ sub-protocol and has not yet been
+ optimized.
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
+ - added tests for this
+ - improved method modifier wrapping
+
+ * Class::MOP::Instance
+ - added new instance protocol
+ - added tests for this
+ - changed all relevant modules and examples
+ - Class::MOP::Class
+ - Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - examples/*
+
+ * metaclass
+ - you no longer need to specify the metaclass
+ itself, if it is not there, Class::MOP::Class
+ is just assumed
+ - updated tests for this
+
+ * examples/
+ - added ArrayBasedStorage example to show
+ instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
+ HASH refs.
+ - added tests for this
+ - InsideOutClass is totally revised using the
+ new instance protocol
+ - added more tests for this
+
+0.26 Mon. April 24, 2006
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - added find_attribute_by_name method
+ - added tests and docs for this
+ - some small optimizations
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - some small optimizations
+
+0.25 Thurs. April 20, 2006
* Class::MOP::Class
- added create_anon_class for creating anonymous classes
- added tests for this
- added get_all_metaclasses, get_all_metaclass_names
and get_all_metaclass_instances method to allow
access to all the cached metaclass objects.
+ - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
+ of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
+ delegates appropriately
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
+ of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
+ called initialize_instance_slot
+
+ * examples/
+ - adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
+ initialize_instance_slot method
0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006
* Class::MOP::Class
- added tests and docs for this feature
* Class::MOP::Class
- - improved &get_package_variable
+ - improved &get_package_symbol
- &version and &superclasses now use it
- methods are now blessed into Class::MOP::Method
whenever possible
