1 Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
5 * It's now possible to tell Class::MOP::Class->create and the metaclass
6 pragma to not install a 'meta' method into classes they manipulate. (doy)
8 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
9 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
10 reinitialized metaclass). (doy)
14 * Use get_or_add_package_symbol when we intend for it to autovivify, in
15 preparation for changes in Package::Stash. (doy)
16 * We now use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to force authors to run
17 all tests, just like we do for Moose. (sartak)
19 1.08 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
23 * The get_method_list and _get_local_methods methods blew up in the face
24 of subroutine stubs. (Goro Fuji)
26 1.07 Tue, Aug 25, 2010
30 * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
31 "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
32 /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
35 1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
39 * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
40 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
41 _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
44 1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
48 * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
49 for inlined code (doy).
51 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
53 1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
57 * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
58 internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
59 package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
60 the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
61 flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
68 * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
70 1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
74 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
75 moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
79 * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
81 * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
82 class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
83 just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
89 * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
90 specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
94 * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
95 that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
96 it's not) (doy, jhallock).
98 1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
100 [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
102 * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
104 0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
108 * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
110 0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
114 * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
115 rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
117 0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
121 * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
122 made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
124 0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
125 * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
127 0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
129 - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
130 - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
131 - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
133 0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
135 - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
137 - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
138 modules (nothingmuch).
140 * Class::MOP::Package
141 - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
145 * Class::MOP::Package
146 - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
147 which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
148 empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
151 - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
152 combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
155 0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
156 * Class::MOP::Attribute
157 - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
158 of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
159 have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
160 attributes. (nothingmuch)
162 0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
164 - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
165 confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
166 a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
167 anything, since there's no point in checking its return
168 value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
171 - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
172 method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
174 * Class::MOP::Package
175 - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
176 the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
178 - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
179 _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
180 deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
182 0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
183 * Class::MOP::Package
184 - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
187 - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
190 - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
191 to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
192 immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
195 - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
196 Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
198 0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
200 * Class::MOP::Package
201 - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
204 - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
205 the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
207 * Class::MOP::Attribute
209 - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
212 0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
213 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
214 - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
215 version, not properly using lexicals in the for
218 0.90 Tue Jul 21, 2009
219 Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve startup
220 performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements may break
221 backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using) complex
222 metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
223 http://blog.perlassociation.org/2009/07/jpa-sponsors-moose-class-mop-work.html
227 - Anonymous classes were not completely destroyed when they went
228 out of scope, leading to a memory leak. RT #47480. (Goro
232 - The get_method, has_method, and add_method methods no longer
233 use get_method_map. Method objects are instantiated
234 lazily. This significantly improves Class::MOP's load
238 - Inline fewer metaclass-level constructors since the ones we
239 have are perfectly fine. This reduces the number of string
242 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
243 - If a method modifier set $_, this caused the modifier to blow
244 up, because of some weird internals. (Jeremy Stashewsky)
248 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::Trait
249 - Made the Trait act like a role with a bunch of "around"
250 modifiers, rather than sticking it in the inheritance
251 hierarchy. This fixes various problems that caused with
252 metaclass compatibility, which broke Fey::ORM.
255 - Allow a blessed code reference as the method body. Fixes a
256 problem interaction with MooseX::Types. (ash)
258 * Class::MOP::Instance
259 - add inline version of rebless_instance_structure. (doy)
260 - change inline_slot_access to use single quotes (gphat)
262 0.88 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
264 - Moved the __INSTANCE__ parameter to _construct_instance from
266 - Fixed some issues involving metaclasses of metaclasses and
269 0.87 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
271 - Made sure to always local-ize $@ and $SIG{__DIE__} before
272 calling an eval. Fixes RT #45973.
275 - Synced docs about immutability with the current reality (which
276 changed back in 0.82_01)
277 - Removed the immutable_transformer method, which had been
278 returning undef since 0.82_01 anyway.
281 - Got rid of tests which needed Moose and improved testing of
282 constructor/destructor inlining warnings. Fixes RT #47119.
284 0.86 Tue, Jun 16, 2009
286 - If you redefined a subroutine at runtime and then wrapped it
287 with a method modifier, the modifier could in some cases wrap
288 the original version of the subroutine. Fixes RT #46957.
291 - make_immutable issues a warning instead of overriding an
292 existing DESTROY method (Dylan William Hardison). Fixes RT
295 0.85 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
296 * Class::MOP::Attribute
297 - Allow default values to be Class::MOP::Methods. (Florian
299 - Test the above. (Rhesa Rozendaal)
300 - Tweak original commit so the intent matches the accepted
301 behavior (Nicholas Perez)
304 - Localize $SIG{__DIE__} inside _try_load_one_class (Sartak)
307 - Add direct_subclasses method (Sartak)
308 - Tests for subclasses and direct_subclasses (Sartak)
309 - subname is no longer used unconditionally in add_method, but
310 only if the code reference's name is '__ANON__' (nothingmuch)
311 - Add a hook for _superclasses_updated (Sartak)
314 - Remove long, old warning about possibly outdated modules
317 0.84 Tue, May 12, 2009
319 - Depend on Text::Exception 0.27 to avoid failing tests ond old
323 - Made is_class_loaded a little stricter. It was reporting that
324 a class was loaded if it merely had an @ISA variable in its
325 stash. Now it checks that the @ISA var has elements in it.
326 - Deprecate in_global_destruction and subname re-exporting
330 - Explicitly use Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
333 * Class::MOP::Package
334 - Disable prototype mismatch warnings for add_package_symbol.
337 - Add test for finding methods from $meta->name->meta before immutable,
340 0.83 Mon, April 27, 2009
342 - Fix segfault when calling get_method_map on a metaclass for an empty
345 0.82_02 Fri, April 24, 2009
346 * Class::MOP::Method::Inlined
347 - Don't inline if the expected method is not defined at all (happens with
348 e.g. Moose::Object::_new is the expected method due to an overridden
351 - Some tests were trying to load Class::MOP::Immutable, which
352 was removed in 0.82_01.
354 0.82_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
355 * Class::MOP::Immutable (and others)
356 - Refactor the immutability system to use a pre-defined class
357 for the immutable metaclass of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable::$class
358 - Rather than generating methods into this class every time, use
359 a Trait (basic mixin) to supply the cached methods
360 - Remove the hack that returns the mutable metaclass for
361 metacircularity in order to provide consistent meta-metaclasses
362 for the Moose compatibility handling code
363 (mst broke it, nothingmuch fixed it)
365 0.82 Mon, April 20, 2009
367 - The deprecation wrappers for some renamed methods were not
368 passing arguments to the new method. (nothingmuch)
370 * Class::MOP::Immutable
371 - Warn during immutablization if the local class provides its own
372 constructor, to parallel the warning in Moose when a superclass
373 provides its own constructor (doy)
375 0.81 Tue, April 7, 2009
378 * Class::MOP::Instance
379 * Class::MOP::Attribute
380 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
381 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
382 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings introduced in
383 0.80_01. (Florian Ragwitz)
386 - Avoid c compiler warnings by declaring some unused function
387 arguments. (Florian Ragwitz)
389 0.80_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
391 - Make sure to preserve any compiler flags already defined in
392 Config.pm. Patch by Vincent Pit. RT #44739.
394 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
395 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
396 underscore are considered "internals only". People writing
397 subclasses or extensions to Class::MOP should feel free to
398 override them, but they are not for "public" use.
401 - construct_class_instance => _construct_class_instance (use new_object)
402 - construct_instance => _construct_instance (use new_object)
403 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
404 - create_meta_instance => _create_meta_instance (use get_meta_instance)
405 - clone_instance => _clone_instance (use clone_object)
406 - compute_all_applicable_methods is deprecated, use get_all_methods
407 - compute_all_applicable_attributes is deprecated, use get_all_attributes
409 - Class::MOP::Instance
410 - bless_instance_structure is deprecated and will be removed
414 - create has been renamed to _instantiate_module. This method
415 does not construct an object, it evals some code that
416 creates the relevant package in Perl's symbol table.
418 - Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
419 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
420 when an object is constructed)
421 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
423 - Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
424 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
425 when an object is constructed)
426 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
427 - attributes => _attributes
428 - meta_instance => _meta_instance
430 0.80 Wed, April 1, 2009
432 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
433 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
434 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
437 - New class_of function that should be used to retrieve a
438 metaclass. This is unlike get_metaclass_by_name in that it
439 accepts instances, not just class names. (Sartak)
442 - load_first_existing_class didn't actually load the first
443 existing class; instead, it loaded the first existing and
444 compiling class. It now throws an error if a class exists (in
445 @INC) but fails to compile. (hdp)
449 - we had some semi-buggy code that purported to provide a
450 HAS_ISAREV based on whether mro had get_isarev (due to an
451 oversight, it always returned 1). Since mro and MRO::Compat
452 have always had get_isarev, HAS_ISAREV was pointless. This
453 insight simplified the subclasses method by deleting the
454 pure-perl fallback. HAS_ISAREV is now deprecated. (Sartak)
456 0.79 Fri, March 29, 2009
457 * No changes from 0.78_02.
459 0.78_02 Thu, March 26, 2009
461 * Class::MOP::Immutable
462 - A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API,
463 and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class
464 API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains
465 the same, however, so this should only affect the most
469 - The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This
470 has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
473 - Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
474 - Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name
475 in rebless_instance. (Sartak)
477 0.78_01 Wed, March 18, 2009
479 - Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All
480 classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
483 * Class::MOP::Instance
484 - Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't
485 properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug
486 in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems
487 to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
489 * Class::MOP::Attribute
490 - The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias
491 exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it
492 warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
494 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
495 - Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract
496 base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own
500 - Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it
501 only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
502 - Add a test for this (Yappo).
503 - Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting
505 - Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
506 - Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's
507 still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
508 - Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
509 - Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
510 - Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
511 - Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
512 - Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
513 - Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
516 - Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as
517 we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
520 - Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
522 0.78 Mon, February 23, 2009
523 * No changes from 0.77_01
525 0.77_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
527 - This package now requires its XS components. Not using
528 Sub::Name lead to different behavior and bugginess in the pure
529 Perl version of the code. A Moose test would fail when run
530 against the pure Perl version of this code.
532 * Class::MOP::Instance
533 - The inline_* methods now quote attribute names themselves, and
534 don't expect to receive a quoted value.
537 0.77 Sat, February 14, 2009
539 - Avoid assertion errors on debugging perls in is_class_loaded
543 - Fixed various corner cases where is_class_loaded incorrectly
544 returned true for a class that wasn't really loaded. (Dave
548 - Add get_all_method_names (Sartak)
549 - Add a wrapped_method_metaclass attribute (Florian Ragwitz)
551 * Class::MOP::Package
552 - Disable deprecated get_all_package_symbols in list
553 context. (Florian Ragwitz)
556 - Make sure we generate a BSD-compatible Makefile (Florian
560 - The misspelled "check_metaclass_compatability" method we've
561 kept around for backwards compat_i_bility will be removed in a
562 near future release. You've been warned.
564 0.76 Thu, January 22, 2009
565 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
566 - Added new private methods to support code generation, which
567 are being used by Moose and can be used by MooseX
569 - Generated methods are now generated with a #line directive
570 reflecting the source of the generated method. (nothingmuch)
573 - Clarified documentation of methods that return
574 Class::MOP::Method objects. (doy)
577 - Clarified documentation of the metaclass cache methods. (Sartak)
580 - Add test showing how the xs Class::MOP::is_class_loaded can
581 be made to operate differently to the pure perl version (t0m)
583 0.75 Wed, December 31, 2008
585 - A class that was made immutable and then mutable could end up
586 sharing an immutable transformer object
587 (Class::MOP::Immutable) with other classes, leading to all
588 sorts of odd bugs. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
590 0.74 Tue, December 25, 2008
592 - Add an xs implementation of Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (closes
593 RT#41862). Based on a patch by Goro Fuji. (Florian Ragwitz)
594 - Changed internals to make prehashing of hash keys easier and less
595 error-prone. (Florian Ragwitz)
597 - Fix documentation to show that around modifiers happen on both
598 sides of the modified method. (Dave Rolsky)
600 0.73 Tue, December 16, 2008
602 - Don't use Perl_mro_meta_init. It's not part of the public perl
603 api. Fixes failures to build on Win32 (RT #41750). (Florian
605 * t/082_get_code_info.t
606 - Add $^P &= ~0x200; (per Ovid's suggestion) in order to not
607 munger anonymous subs when under -d and so making the tests
608 succeed in that case.
610 0.72 Mon, December 8, 2008
611 * Class::MOP::Package
612 - Pass options to _new, so subclass' attributes can be
615 - In the docs, indicate that package_name and name are required
616 when calling ->wrap (Stefan O'Rear)
618 0.71_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
619 * Class::MOP::Immutable
620 - Added a new attribute, inlined_constructor, which is true if
621 the constructor was inlined.
622 * Class::MOP::Package
623 - Make get_all_package_symbols return a hash ref in scalar
624 context and deprecate calling it in list context with a
625 warning. (Florian Ragwitz)
627 - Various improvements and refactoring, making things more robust and
628 easier to maintain. (Florian Ragwitz)
630 0.71_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
632 - Add an "execute" method to invoke the body so
633 we can avoid using the coderef overload (Sartak)
634 * Class::MOP::Immutable
635 - When we memoize methods, get their results lazily
636 to remove some compile-time cost (Sartak)
637 - Small speedup from eliminating several method
640 - Some small internal tweaks to try to reduce the number of
641 times we call get_method_map when bootstrapping the MOP. This
642 might make loading Class::MOP (and Moose) a little
643 faster. (Dave Rolsky)
644 - Implemented an optional XS version of get_method_map. Mostly
645 taken from a patch by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41080), with
646 help form Florian Ragwitz. (Dave Rolsky)
647 - Make the behaviour of of get_all_package_symbols (and
648 therefore get_method_map) consistent for stub methods. Report
649 and test by Goro Fuji (rt.cpan.org #41255). (Florian Ragwitz)
651 0.71 Wed November 26, 2008
654 - Actual package creation has moved upward from
655 Class to Module so that Moose roles can share
658 0.70_01 Mon, November 19, 2008
660 - Fixes for failures with blead (Florian Ragwitz)
661 - Silenced compiler warnings (Florian Ragwitz)
663 0.70 Fri, November 14, 2008
665 - Fixed an odd corner case where the XS version of
666 get_all_package_symbols could cause a segfault. This only
667 happened with inlined constants in Perl 5.10.0 (Florian
670 0.69 Fri, November 7, 2008
671 * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
672 - Added introspection methods for method modifiers (Dave Rolsky)
675 0.68 Fri October 24, 2008
677 - Make load_class require by file name instead of module name.
678 This stops confusing error messages when loading '__PACKAGE__'.
680 - Add load_one_class_of function to enable you to load one of a
681 list of classes, rather than having to call load_class multiple
682 times in an eval. (t0m)
684 0.67 Tue October 14, 2008
686 - Call a method on the class after setting the superclass list
687 so that we can get Perl to detect cycles before MRO::Compat
688 spirals into an infinite loop (sartak)
689 - Reported by Schwern, [rt.cpan.org #39001]
690 - In create(), pass unused options on to initialize()
691 - added test for this
693 0.66 Sat September 20, 2008
694 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
695 introspection of a class's method with Class::MOP::Class !!
698 - We (us maintainers) now run all tests with XS and then without
699 XS, which should help us catch skew between the XS/pure Perl
703 ! The alias_method method has been deprecated. It now simply
704 calls add_method instead. There is no distinction between
705 aliased methods and "real" methods.
707 This means that methods added via alias_method now show up as
708 part of the class's method list/map. This is a backwards
709 incompatible change, but seems unlikely to break any
710 code. Famous last words. (Dave Rolsky)
713 - Fixed the spelling of "compatibility", but we still have a
714 "check_metaclass_compatability" method for backwards
717 0.65 Mon September 1, 2008
718 For those not following the series of dev releases, the changes
719 from 0.64 from 0.65 can mostly be summed up as a lot performance
720 improvements by nothingmuch, including new optional XS versions of
721 some methods. Also, Class::MOP now works _without_ any XS modules,
722 for sad systems without a compiler.
725 - Added name and package_name XS accessors, and make sure all
726 the XS and Perl versions work the same way. (Dave Rolsky)
729 - The XS versions of various methods just returned undef when
730 called class methods, rather than dying like the pure Perl
731 versions. (Dave Rolsky)
733 0.64_07 Fri August 29, 2008
735 - Silenced warnings that managed to break Moose tests when XS
736 was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
737 - Some XS versions of methods were ignored because of typos in
738 MOP.xs. (Dave Rolsky)
740 0.64_06 Mon August 25, 2008
741 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
742 - Another MS VC++ fix, cannot declare a variable in the middle
743 of a scope (Taro Nishino).
745 0.64_05 Sun August 24, 2008
747 - None of the dev releases actually loaded the XS properly, but
748 we silently fell back to the pure Perl version of the
751 * Class::MOP (MOP.xs)
752 - Replaced some code that used functions not available on Visual
753 C++ with some Perl XS API bits (Dave Rolsky).
755 0.64_04 Sat August 23, 2008
757 - Workaround a bug in 5.8.1's goto sub (nothingmuch)
759 * pod.t and pod_coveraget.t
760 - These are no longer shipped with the tarball because of bogus
761 failures from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky)
763 0.64_03 Thu August 21, 2008
764 * Class::MOP::Package
765 - Some (legit) code was misparsed by earlier 5.8.x
766 releases. (nothingmuch)
769 - Fix a constant in void context warning (nothingmuch)
771 0.64_02 Thu August 21, 2008
772 * Makefile.PL and Class::MOP
773 - Explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
776 - Add missing prereqs that got lost in the switch away from
779 * Class::MOP::Instance
780 - New method - get_all_attributes (nothingmuch)
782 0.64_01 Wed August 20, 2008
784 - We now check to see if you have a compiler. If you don't, the
785 module installs without some XS bits, but will work the same
786 as with XS. This should make it easier to install on platforms
787 without a compiler (like Windows). (Dave Rolsky)
790 - Perl 6 style attribute naming replaced with sane style ('methods', not
791 '%!methods'). These changes should not impact any existing API uses.
795 - Quite a number of optimizations based on profiling, including
796 allowing constructors to take hash references instead of
797 hashes, duplicating some frequently used code in XS, and
798 making constructors immutable. These changes should not impact
799 any existing API uses. (nothingmuch)
802 - Constructors now respect the meta attributes of their subclasses,
803 facilitating MOP extensibility. More related changes will happen in the
804 next several releases. (nothingmuch)
807 - New method - get_all_methods, replaces the deprecated
808 compute_all_applicable_methods. get_all_attributes provided for
809 consistency (nothingmuch)
810 - New method - wrap_method was refactored out of get_method_map
812 - New API for meta instance invalidation - invalidate_meta_instance,
813 invalidate_meta_instances, add_dependent_meta_instance,
814 remove_dependent_meta_instance, called automatically when attribute
815 definitions change and allows notification of dependent subclasses.
818 0.64 Sun August 3, 2008
819 * Class::MOP::Immutable
820 - fixing subtle edge case in immutable when you
822 - clean up option processing (nothingmuch)
824 * Class::MOP::Instance
825 - inlined initialize slot didn't match
826 non-inlined (nothingmuch)
828 0.63 Mon July 7, 2008
830 - load_class will initialize a metaclass even if
831 the class is already loaded (sartak)
832 - load_class now returns the metaclass instance
833 instead of just 1 (sartak)
836 - better error messages (sartak and Dave Rolsky)
838 0.62 Wed June 18, 2008
839 - in is_class_loaded, recognize scalar references (as opposed to globs) in
840 the symbol table as methods (these are optimized constant subs)
842 0.61 Fri. June 13, 2008
843 - Okay, lets give this another try and see if PAUSE
844 recognizes it correct this time.
846 0.60 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
847 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
850 0.59 Thurs. Jun 12, 2008
851 !! Several fixes resulting in yet another 25-30% speedup !!
854 - now stores the instance of the instance
855 metaclass to avoid needless recomputation
856 and deletes it when the cache is blown
857 - introduce methods to query Class::MOP::Class for
858 the options used to make it immutable as well as
859 the proper immutable transformer. (groditi)
861 * Class::MOP::Package
862 - {add, has, get, remove}_package_symbol all
863 now accept a HASH ref argument as well as the
864 string. All internal usages now use the HASH
868 - MOP.xs does sanity checks on the coderef
870 - is_class_loaded check now uses code that
871 was improved in Moose's ClassName type
873 - nonsensical (undef, empty, reference) class
874 names now throw a more direct error in
876 - tests for this and other aspects of
882 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
883 Class::MOP::Attribute
884 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
887 0.58 Thurs. May 29, 2008
888 (late night release engineering)--
890 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
891 changes in this release
893 0.57 Wed. May 28, 2008
894 !! Several speedups resulting in 20-25% speedups !!
895 || (thanks to konobi, groditi, mst & CataMoose) !!
898 - made get_method_map use list_all_package_symbols
899 instead of manually grabbing each symbol
900 - streamlining &initialize somewhat, since it gets
903 * Class::MOP::Package
904 - made {get, has}_package_symbol not call
906 - inlining a few calls to &name with
907 direct HASH access key access
908 - added get_all_package_symbols to fetch
909 a HASH of items based on a type filter
910 similar to list_all_package_symbols
911 - added tests for this
914 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
915 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
916 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
917 - added more descriptive error message to help
918 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
919 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
921 * Class::MOP::Immutable
922 - Don't inline a destructor unless the user actually
924 - added tests for this
926 0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
928 - we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
929 function from MRO::Compat
930 - All XS based functionality now has a
931 Pure Perl alternative
932 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
933 can now be used to force non-XS versions

949 dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
950 allow for it to work.
951 - added tests for this
953 * Class::MOP::Attribute
955 Class::MOP::Immutable
956 - any time a method meta object is constructed
957 we make sure to pass the correct package and
958 method name information
961 Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
962 Class::MOP::Method::Generated
963 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
964 Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
965 - the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
966 'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
967 is to help support the no-XS version, and will
968 throw an error if these are not supplied.
969 - all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
970 and now store the package_name and name attributes
973 ~ Build.PL has been removed since the
974 Module::Install support has been removed
976 0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
977 - All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
978 - added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
979 for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
983 - rebless_instance now returns the instance
984 it has just blessed, this is mostly to
986 - set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
987 when it has no init_arg
988 - tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
989 to support c3 classes.
991 0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008

995 passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
996 Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
999 - make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
1000 (cause Sartak asked)
1001 - improved error handling in ->create method
1002 - rebless_instance now takes extra params which
1003 will be used to populate values
1004 - added tests for this
1006 * Class::MOP::Object
1007 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
1008 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
1014 Class::MOP::Attribute
1015 - these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
1016 but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1018 * Class::MOP::Instance
1019 Class::MOP::Immutable
1020 - these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
1023 - fixed the filename length on several
1024 test files so we install on VMS better
1026 - fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
1027 should be catfile (RT #32385)
1029 0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
1030 ~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
1033 Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1034 Class::MOP::Attribute
1035 - making init_arg accept an undefined value
1036 to indicate that no constructor args can
1037 be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
1038 - added tests for this
1039 - added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
1042 - making this use the new init_arg => undef
1043 feature instead of the silly hack from
1044 before (thanks to nothingmuch)
1046 0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
1048 - fixed bug in rebless_instance
1051 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1052 - removed assumptions about the existence of
1055 0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
1056 ~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1057 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1060 - now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
1061 constant so that we can take advantage
1062 of some of the nice bits of 5.10
1065 - uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
1066 optimize the &linearized_isa method
1067 and avoid the hack/check for circular
1068 inheritence in &class_precedence_list
1069 - added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
1070 - added tests for this
1072 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1073 - the immutable class now keeps track of
1074 the transformer which immutablized it
1076 * Class::MOP::Instance
1077 - added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)
1078 - added tests for this
1080 0.50 Fri. Dec. 21, 2007
1082 - fixed bug in immutable to make sure that
1083 transformation arguments are saved
1085 - added tests for this
1087 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1088 - fixed a bug (see above)
1090 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1093 0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1094 !! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
1095 !! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
1098 - removed the dependency on B
1099 - added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
1100 - get_code_info($code) which replaces all
1101 the B fiddling we were doing with
1102 faster/leaner XS level fiddling
1103 - check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
1104 returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
1105 be used to help manage method caching.
1108 In 5.10 or greater this will actually
1109 use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
1110 even more accurate caching information.
1111 blblack++ for that stuff :)
1114 - added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
1115 - added the update_package_cache_flag and
1116 reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
1117 track of when we need to re-fetch the
1119 - Several small improvements to take advantage
1120 of the new method map caching features
1122 0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1123 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1124 - fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
1125 HASH ref case, which makes the
1126 get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
1127 - added more tests for this
1129 0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
1130 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1131 - fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
1132 - added more tests for this
1134 0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1136 - added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
1137 pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
1138 useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
1140 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1141 - added the get_read_method_ref and get_write_method_ref
1142 methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
1143 can always be used to read or write an attribute.
1145 0.45 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1146 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1147 - Fix error message on confess (groditi)
1149 0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1150 - Apparently I didn't make dist correctly (groditi)
1152 0.43 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007
1154 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1157 - optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
1158 construct_class_instance (groditi)
1159 - duplicate check into initialize to save a
1160 call through (groditi)
1162 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1163 - Add support for the 'builder' attribute (groditi)
1164 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1165 it is defined (groditi)
1167 * Class::MOP::Instance
1168 - Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether
1169 it is defined (groditi)
1171 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1172 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1173 - removed the relevant attributes
1175 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1176 - fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
1177 - made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1178 - fixed generated constructor so it properly handles
1180 - added tests for this
1181 - added the option to allow for both inlined and
1182 non-inlined constructors.
1183 - Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)
1185 * Class::MOP::Method::Generated
1186 - added this class as an abstract base for the
1187 Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
1188 - added tests for this
1191 - Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
1192 - Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
1195 - Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
1197 0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
1198 !!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
1200 * Class::MOP::Package
1201 - alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
1204 - Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
1206 0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
1208 Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
1209 it manually now so that people can use this
1210 with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
1212 0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
1214 ~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
1215 for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
1216 the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
1219 0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
1220 * Class::MOP::Immutable
1221 - added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
1222 - removed unused variable
1223 - added create_immutable_transformer
1224 necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
1225 - tests for this (groditi)
1228 - Immutability can now be undone,
1229 added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
1230 - Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
1231 for details see comments next to make_immutable
1232 This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
1233 when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
1234 metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
1235 to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
1236 up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
1237 - New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
1239 0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1240 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1242 * Class::MOP::Package
1243 - we now deal with stub methods properly
1244 - added tests for this
1245 - fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
1247 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1248 - added get_read_method and get_write_method
1249 thanks to groditi for this code, tests
1251 - added tests and POD for this
1254 - fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
1255 handles undef values correctly.
1256 - added tests for this
1257 - Corrected anon-class handling so that they
1258 will not get reaped when instances still
1259 exist which need to reference them. This is
1260 the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
1261 obscure enough feature that there are not too
1262 many work arounds out in the wild.
1263 - added tests for this by groditi
1264 - updated docs to explain this
1267 - load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
1268 - added tests for this behavior
1270 0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
1271 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1274 - added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
1275 - added tests and docs for these
1277 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1278 - default now checks the instance with defined to
1279 avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
1283 - bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
1288 ~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
1289 - All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
1290 style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
1291 private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
1292 you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
1295 !! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
1297 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1298 - this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1299 and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
1302 - this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
1303 immutable transformation instead of
1304 Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
1306 + Class::MOP::Immutable
1307 - this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
1308 to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
1309 be coming eventually.
1312 0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1314 - added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
1315 (and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
1319 - some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
1322 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1324 - constructor generation is now handled by
1325 the Class::MOP::Method::Constructor class
1327 * Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
1328 - created this to handle constructor generation
1329 in Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1331 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1333 - attributes now delegate to the
1334 Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
1337 * Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
1338 - all accessor generation functions from
1339 Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
1341 0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1343 * scripts/class_browser.pl
1344 - initial prototype of a class browser, more
1345 on this to come. Comments and patches are
1349 - All Class::MOP::* accessors are no longer
1350 re-generated in the bootstrap, instead
1351 they are aliased from the originals
1352 - fixed tests to reflect
1353 - added Class::MOP::Method (and its subclasses)
1355 - adjusted tests for this
1356 - added the Class::MOP::Instance attributes
1359 * Class::MOP::Method
1361 - methods are no longer blessed CODE refs
1362 but are actual objects which can be CODE-ified
1363 - adjusted tests to compensate
1364 - adjusted docs for this
1367 - changed how methods are dealt with to
1368 encapsulate most of the work into the
1369 &get_method_map method
1370 - made several adjustments for the change
1371 in Class::MOP::Method
1372 - &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
1373 a duplicate name, and properly removes the
1374 old one before installing the new one
1375 - added tests for this
1376 - adjusted docs for this
1378 * Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1379 - added caching of &get_method_map
1380 - fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
1381 - cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)
1383 * Class::MOP::Package
1384 - added filtering capabilities to
1385 &list_all_package_symbols
1387 0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 2006
1389 - added the %:methods attribute, which like
1390 the $:version and such just actually goes
1391 to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
1392 However, it makes the MOP more complete.
1394 - The &create method now requires that all
1395 but the package name now is passed in as
1396 named parameters. See docs for more info.
1397 - updated docs and tests for this
1399 * Class::MOP::Object
1400 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1404 - cleaned up the initialization of attributes
1405 which do not store things in the instance
1406 - added the %:methods attribute definition to
1409 ~ lots of misc. test cleanup
1411 0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006
1413 - moved the metaclass cache out of here
1414 and it is now in Class::MOP itself.
1417 - moved all the metaclass cache stuff here
1418 - fixed all tests for this
1420 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1421 - reference values (other than CODE refs)
1422 are no longer allowed for defaults
1423 - added tests for this
1425 * Class::MOP::Package
1426 - fixed an issue with perl 5.8.1 and how it deals
1427 with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
1428 always reloaded from the symbol table.
1430 ~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
1432 0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
1433 + added Class::MOP::Object so that the
1434 metamodel is more complete (and closer
1435 to what Perl 6 will probably be).
1437 * Class::MOP::Package
1438 - refactored entire class, this is now
1439 the primary gateway between the metaclass
1440 and the Perl 5 symbol table
1441 - added many tests for this
1442 - this class is now a subclass of
1444 - added some tests to reflect this
1447 - refactored all symbol table access to
1448 use Class::MOP::Package methods instead
1450 * Class::MOP::Module
1451 - adding the $:version attribute in the bootstrap
1452 so that Module has a version as an attribute
1453 - see comment in Class::MOP for details
1454 - added the $:authority attribute to this module
1455 as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
1456 ever closer to Perl 6 goodness
1457 - I have added $AUTHORITY to all the modules
1458 - added tests for this
1460 * Class::MOP::Instance
1461 - added &deinitialize_slot for removing slots
1463 - added tests for this
1465 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1466 - added support for &deinitialize_slot for removing
1467 slots from an instance
1468 - added tests for this
1470 0.31 Sat. July 15, 2006
1473 - added &find_method_by_name to locate a method
1474 anywhere within the class hierarchy
1476 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1477 - added &set_value and &get_value for getting
1478 the value of the attribute for a particular
1481 0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
1482 ---------------------------------------
1483 This is the first version of Class::MOP
1484 to introduce the immutable features which
1485 will be used for optimizating the MOP.
1486 This support should still be considered
1487 experimental, but moving towards stability.
1488 ---------------------------------------
1490 * Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
1492 * Created the Class::MOP::Package and
1493 Class::MOP::Module classes to more
1494 closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
1497 - now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
1498 - several methods moved to ::Module and
1499 ::Package and now inherited
1500 - added tests for this
1502 * Class::MOP::Instance
1503 - added an is_inlinable method to allow other
1504 classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
1505 - added an inline_create_instance to inline
1506 instance creation (of course)
1509 - the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
1510 methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
1511 and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
1512 because they are now more general purpose symbol
1513 table manipulation methods.
1515 0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
1516 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++

1522 0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1523 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1524 - This release works in combination with
1525 Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
1526 because it introduces a new instance
1527 sub-protocol and has not yet been
1531 - anon-classes are now properly garbage collected
1532 - added tests for this

1537 - added tests for this
1538 - changed all relevant modules and examples
1540 - Class::MOP::Attribute

1574 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1575 of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
1576 delegates appropriately
1578 * Class::MOP::Attribute
1579 - attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
1580 of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
1581 called initialize_instance_slot

1585 initialize_instance_slot method
1587 0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

1610 0.21 Wed. March 15, 2006
1612 - fixed issue where metaclasses are reaped from
1613 our cache in global destruction, and so are not

1616 0.20 Thurs. March 2, 2006
1617 - removed the dependency for Clone since
1618 we no longer to deep-cloning by default.

1628 before, after and around modifiers
1629 - added tests and docs for this feature

1659 shallow clone (see docs for more details)
1660 - added docs and tests
1662 0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
1663 ** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
1664 cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
1665 be considered "ready to use".
1667 - adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
1668 mostly testing errors and edge cases.
1669 - test coverage is now at 99%
1672 - no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
1673 creates a custom metaclass generator, use the

1687 0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
1689 - adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
1690 metaclass a little more straightforward
1693 - clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
1694 attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
1695 Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
1696 etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
1700 - fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
1701 is now more useful for subclasses
1702 - added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
1703 hash of attribute meta objects
1704 - &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
1705 the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
1706 since all the same info can be gotten from the
1707 attribute meta-object itself
1708 - updated docs & tests to reflect
1709 - added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
1710 of the instance structure created by &construct_instance

1720 that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
1721 - added tests and docs for this

1731 attributes which contain a metaclass name to use for
1732 attributes/methods respectively
1735 - bootstrap additional attributes for Class::MOP::Class
1738 - adjusted the example code and tests to use the new
1739 &attribute_metaclass feature of Class::MOP::Class

1770 - moving examples from t/lib/* to examples/*
1771 - adding POD documentation to the examples
