Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
-0.65
+0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
+ For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
+ from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
+ improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
+ some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
+ for sad systems without a compiler.
+
+ * Class::MOP::Method
+ - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
+ the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * MOP.xs
+ - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
+ called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
+ versions. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
+ * Class::MOP
+ - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
+ was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
+ - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
+ MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
+ * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
+ - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
+ of a scope (Taro Nishino).
+
+0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
+ * Class::MOP
+ - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
+ we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
+ code. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
+ - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
+ C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
+
+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)

* Class::MOP::Immutable
- fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
