Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
+0.80
+ * Class::MOP
+ - HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. It has always returned 1 so
+ it won't be missed. (Sartak)
+
+ * Class::MOP::*
+ - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual
+ goal of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
+ altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
+ metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that
+ it accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first existing
+ class; instead, it loaded the first existing and compiling class. It
+ now throws an error if a class exists (in @INC) but fails to compile.
+ (hdp)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ * Class::MOP
+ - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
+ HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due
+ to an oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and
+ MRO::Compat have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was
+ pointless. This insight simplified the subclasses method
+ by deleting the pure-perl fallback. (Sartak)
+
+0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
+ * No changes from 0.78_02.
+
+0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ * Class::MOP::Immutable
+ - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
+ and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
+ API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
+ the same, however, so this should only affect the most
+ guts-digging code.
+
+ * XS code
+ - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
+ has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
+ - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
+ in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
+
+0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
+ * Class::MOP::*
+ - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
+ classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ * Class::MOP::Instance
+ - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
+ properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
+ in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
+ to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
+ exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
+ warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
+
+ * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
+ - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
+ base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
+ constructors.
+
+ * MOP.xs
+ - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
+ only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Add a test for this (Yappo).
+ - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
+ (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
+ still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
+
+ * Tests
+ - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
+ we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
+
+ * Makefile.PL
+ - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
+
+0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
+ * No changes from 0.77_01
+
+0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
+ * Everything
+ - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
+ Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
+ Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
+ against the pure Perl version of this code.
+
+ * Class::MOP::Instance
+ - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
+ don't expect to receive a quoted value.
+
+
+0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
+ * MOP.xs
+ - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
+ (Florian Ragwitz)
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
+ returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
+ - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
+ context. (Florian Ragwitz)
+
+ * Makefile.PL
+ - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
+ Ragwitz)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
+ kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
+ near future release. You've been warned.
+
+0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
+ * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
+ - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
+ are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
+ authors. (mst)
+ - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
+ reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Clarified documentation of methods that return
+ Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
+
+ * Tests
+ - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
+ be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
+
+0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
+ sharing an immutable transformer object
+ (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
+ sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
+ * MOP.xs
+ - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
+ RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
+ - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
+ error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
+ sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
+ * MOP.xs
+ - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
+ api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
+ Ragwitz)
+ * t/082_get_code_info.t
+ - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
+ munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
+ succeed in that case.
+
+0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
+ initialized (Sartak)
+ * Class::MOP::Method
+ - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
+ when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
+
+0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Immutable
+ - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
+ the constructor was inlined.
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
+ context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
+ warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
+ * MOP.xs
+ - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
+ easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
+
+0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Method
+ - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
+ we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
+ * Class::MOP::Immutable
+ - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
+ to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
+ - Small speedup from eliminating several method
+ calls (Sartak)
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
+ times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
+ might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
+ faster. (Dave Rolsky)
+ - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
+ taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
+ help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
+ - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
+ therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
+ and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
+
+0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ * Class::MOP::Module
+ - Actual package creation has moved upward from
+ Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
+ the code (Sartak)
+
+0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
+ * Class::MOP
+ - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
+ - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
+
0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
* Class::MOP
- Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
Ragwitz)
-
0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
* Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
- Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
