Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
-0.29_03
- ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
+0.35
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - non-generated accessors are no longer
+ copied, but instead are aliased from
+ the originals
+ - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
+ to the bootstrap
+ - adjusted tests for this
+ - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
+ to the bootstrap
+ - bootstrap no longer re-compiles accessors
+ so as to keep the MOP compile-time fast
+
+ * Class::MOP::Method
+ *** API CHANGE ***
+ - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
+ but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
+ - adjusted tests to compensate
+ - adjusted docs for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - changed how methods are dealt with to
+ encapsulate most of the work into the
+ &get_method_map method
+ - made several adjustments for the change
+ in Class::MOP::Method
+ - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
+ a duplicate name, and properly removes the
+ old one before installing the new one
+ - added tests for this
+ - adjusted docs for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
+ - added caching of &get_method_map
+ - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
+ - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
- created the Class::MOP::Package and
- Class::MOP::Module classes to more
- closely conform to Perl 6's meta model
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - added filtering capabilities to
+ &list_all_package_symbols
+
+0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - added the %:methods attribute, which like
+ the $:version and such just actually goes
+ to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
+ However, it makes the MOP more complete.
+ ** API CHANGE **
+ - The &create method now requires that all
+ but the package name now is passed in as
+ named parameters. See docs for more info.
+ - updated docs and tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Object
+ - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
+ an object
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
+ which do not store things in the instance
+ - added the %:methods attribute definition to
+ the bootstrap
+
+ ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
+
+0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - moved the metaclass cache out of here
+ and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
+ - fixed all tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - reference values (other than CODE refs)
+ are no longer allowed for defaults
+ - added tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
+ with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
+ always reloaded from the symbol table.
+
+ ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
+
+0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
+ + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
+ metamodel is more complete (and closer
+ to what Perl 6 will probably be).
+
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - refactored entire class, this is now
+ the primary gateway between the metaclass
+ and the Perl 5 symbol table
+ - added many tests for this
+ - this class is now a subclass of
+ Class::MOP::Object
+ - added some tests to reflect this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - refactored all symbol table access to
+ use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
+
+ * Class::MOP::Module
+ - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
+ so that Module has a version as an attribute
+ - see comment in Class::MOP for details
+ - added the $:authority attribute to this module
+ as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
+ ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
+ - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
+ - added tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Instance
+ - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
+ from an instance
+ - added tests for this
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
+ slots from an instance
+ - added tests for this
+
+0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
+ anywhere within the class hierarchy
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
+ the value of the attribute for a particular
+ instance.
+
+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.
