Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
-0.90
- Japan Perl Association has sponsored Goro Fuji to improve
- startup performance of Class::MOP and Moose. These enhancements
- may break backwards compatibility if you're doing (or using)
- complex metaprogramming, so, as always, test your code!
+NEXT
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
+ etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
+ almost certainly need to be updated as well.
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * A lot of code related to managing methods for a class has been tweaked to
+ make it faster. This speeds up compilation time for Class::MOP and Moose,
+ as well modules which use Moose.
+
+1.12 Mon, Jan 3, 2011
+
+ * Remove usage of undocumented Package::Stash APIs from the tests. This
+ prevents the tests from failing on Package::Stash >= 0.18.
+
+1.11 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Replace use of Test::Exception with Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge and Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+1.10 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Lots of fixes for edge cases with anon classes. (doy)
+
+1.09 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * It's now possible to tell Class::MOP::Class->create and the metaclass
+ pragma to not install a 'meta' method into classes they manipulate,
+ or to install one under a different name. (doy)
+
+ * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
+ attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
+ reinitialized metaclass). (doy)
+
+ * All 'meta' methods created by Class::MOP are now of the class
+ Class::MOP::Method::Meta. This is overridable at the metaclass layer. (doy)
+
+ [OTHER]
+
+ * Use get_or_add_package_symbol when we intend for it to autovivify, in
+ preparation for changes in Package::Stash. (doy)
+
+ * We now use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to force authors to run all
+ tests, just like we do for Moose. (sartak)
+
+1.08 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * The get_method_list and _get_local_methods methods blew up in the face
+ of subroutine stubs. (Goro Fuji)
+
+1.07 Tue, Aug 25, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Fix a mysterious error reported by Piers Cawley. The error showed up as
+ "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at
+ /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/Class/MOP/Mixin/HasMethods.pm line 167." (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+1.06 Sun, Aug 23, 2010
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * Version 1.05 no longer reported constants as methods, except with Perl
+ 5.8.x, and doing so in 5.8.x caused test failures. Constants are now
+ _expected_ to be reported as methods, and we explicitly test this. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+1.05 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Refactorings and improvements to how defaults are handled, particularly
+ for inlined code (doy).
+
+ * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
+
+1.04 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Class::MOP::Deprecated now uses Package::DeprecationManager
+ internally. Deprecation warnings are now only issued once for each calling
+ package, which cuts down on noise. When importing Class::MOP::Deprecated,
+ the request API version should now be passed in the "-api_version"
+ flag. However, the old "-compatible" flag will continue to work. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+1.03 Sat, Jun 5, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Make CMOP::Package a thin wrapper around Package::Stash (doy).
+
+1.02 Thu, May 20, 2010
+
+ [API CHANGES]
+
+ * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
+ moved back up into Class::MOP::Class (doy).
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Metaclass incompatibility checking now checks all metaclass types. (doy)
+
+ * Class::MOP can now do simple metaclass incompatibility fixing: if your
+ class's metaclass is a subclass of your parent class's metaclass, it will
+ just use the parent class's metaclass directly. (doy)
+
+1.01 Thu, May 6, 2010
+
+ [NEW FEATURES]
+
+ * is_class_loaded, load_class and load_first_existing_class now allow
+ specifying a minimum required version (Florian Ragwitz).
+
+ [BUG FIXES]
+
+ * The __INSTANCE__ parameter to Class::MOP::Class::new_object now enforces
+ that the passed in reference is blessed into the correct class (by dying if
+ it's not) (doy, jhallock).
+
+1.00 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
+
+ [GRRR< FUCKING STEVAN@]
+
+ * Re-release 0.99 as 1.00.
+
+0.99 Thu, Mar 25, 2010
+
+ [DOCUMENTATION]
+
+ * Fix typo in Class::MOP::Attribute (Franck Cuny).
+
+0.98 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Added Class::MOP::Class->rebless_instance_back, which does the inverse of
+ rebless_instance (doy, rafl).
+
+0.97_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
+
+ [ENHANCEMENTS]
+
+ * Internal refactorings to move shared behavior into new "mixin" classes. This
+ made adding some new features to Moose much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.97 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
+ * No code changes, just packaging fixes to make this distro installable.
+
+0.96 Fri, Dec 18, 2009
+ * tests
+ - Fixed t/082_get_code_info.t so it passes with bleadperl. (Dave Rolsky)
+ - Add XS & C files to no tabs check (Dave Rolsky)
+ - Convert all tests to done_testing. (Florian Ragwitz)
+
+0.95 Wed, Nov 19, 2009
+ * Class::MOP
+ - Make is_class_loaded without any arguments fail loudly
+ (Florian Ragwitz).
+ - Make load_class throw more standard error messages when loading single
+ modules (nothingmuch).
+
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Stop add_method from behaving differently under the debugger
+ (Florian Ragwitz).
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Any method which takes a method name as an argument now allows names
+ which are false (like "0"), but the name must be defined and not be an
+ empty string. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Deprecated get_attribute_map as a public method. You can use a
+ combination of get_attribute_list and get_attribute instead. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+
+0.94 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ - Introduce set_raw_value and get_raw_value, side effect free variants
+ of {get,set}_value. These don't do anything useful in Class::MOP but
+ have different behavior that set_value and get_value for Moose
+ attributes. (nothingmuch)
+
+0.93 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
+ * Class::MOP
+ - The load_class function just returns true, since it's return value was
+ confusing (either a metaclass object or a class name). It either loads
+ a class or dies trying. In the future, this may change to not return
+ anything, since there's no point in checking its return
+ value. Addresses RT #45883. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class::Trait::Immutable
+ - When throwing an error because of an immutable method, include that
+ method's name. Addresses RT #49680. (Shawn M Moore)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Adding the same sub reference to multiple packages failed to update
+ the method map properly. RT #48985. Reported by Paul Mooney. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+ - The get_method_map method is now private (and called as
+ _full_method_map or _method_map). The public version is available as a
+ deprecated method. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+0.92_01 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Backwards compatibility tweaks to XS for 5.8.1. (Goro Fuji)
+
+ * Class::MOP
+ - Make sure XS code handles magical scalars correctly. (Goro Fuji)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Documented the immutable_options method, which is useful if you need
+ to make a class mutable temporarily, and then nede to restore
+ immutability. (Dave Rolsky)
+
+ * Many modules
+ - Deprecated features have been moved to their own module,
+ Class::MOP::Deprecated, for easier deprecation management. (Goro Fuji)
+
+0.92 Thu Aug 13, 2009
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ * Class::MOP::Package
+ - Move get_method_map and its various scaffolding into Package. (hdp)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Method
+ - Allow Class::MOP::Method->wrap to take a Class::MOP::Method object as
+ the first argument, rather than just a coderef. (doy)
+
+ * Class::MOP::Attribute
+ * Class::MOP::Class
+ - Allow attribute names to be false (while still requiring them to be
+ defined). (rafl)
+
+0.91 Wed Jul 29, 2009
+ * Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
+ - Fixing variable usage issues with the patch from previous
+ version, not properly using lexicals in the for
+ loops. (stevan)
