Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
+0.69
+ * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
+ - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
+
+
+0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
+ * Class::MOP
+ - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
+ This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
+ (Florian Ragwitz)
+ - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
+ list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
+ times in an eval. (t0m)
+
+0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
+ so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
+ spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
+ - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
+ - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
+ - added test for this
+
+0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
+ !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
+ introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
+
+ * Tests and XS
+ - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
+ XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
+ code. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
+ calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
+ aliased methods and "real" methods.
+
+ This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
+ part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
+ incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
+ code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
+ "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
+ compatibility.
+
+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)
+
+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
