Revision history for Object-Pad

0.31    2020-06-30
        [CHANGES]
         * Don't emit a named method for BUILD blocks
            + Enables subclassing of Moo classes
         * Begin documenting the (double-experimental) Object::Pad::MOP API

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Parser fix for `class NAME VERSION extends ...` without a linefeed
           (RT132903)
         * Placate some compiler warnings of uninitialised values
         * Find a different way to trigger class sealing which doesn't depend
           on `free` magic of hinthash values, in order to avoid core perl bug
             https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/17903
         * Various small fixes to keep -DDEBUGGING perl happy

0.30    2020-06-20
        [CHANGES]
         * Make generated writer methods return $self, for convenient chaining
         * Apply argument checking to generated accessor methods
         * Improved performance of constructor, by storing BUILD blocks
           directly in the class metadata, avoiding runtime method lookup
         * Updates for XS::Parse::Sublike 0.10

0.29    2020-06-16
        [CHANGES]
         * Accept :override attribute on methods
         * Accept runtime expressions as `has $slot = DEFAULT`
         * Added Devel::MAT::Dumper::Helper support

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Fix various compiler warnings

0.28    2020-06-14
        [BUGFIXES]
         * Declare correct version of XS::Parse::Sublike in configure_requires
           as we need it at Build.PL time
         * Fix printf formats for SLOTOFFSET arguments
         * Fix github URL in docs

0.27    2020-06-13
        [CHANGES]
         * Support :reader :writer :mutator attributes on slot variables, to
           automatically generate accessor methods for them
         * Accept `BUILD { ... }` without the `method` keyword. Suggest this
           as usual style. Discourage the `method` form.
         * Updated advice to module authors on how to declare package/VERSION
           sufficient to keep toolchain modules happy

0.26    2020-04-27
        [CHANGES]
         * Sanity-checking of ->add_slot names
         * Permit "anonymous" slots with sigils but no names; accessed only
           via $slotmeta->value
         * Warn when $self lexical is shadowed (partly fixes RT132428)

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Ensure to run GETMAGIC on ->add_slot names
         * Removed extranous and undeclared `use Devel::MAT::Dumper` from unit

        [CHANGES]
         * Further expanded the (undocumented) MOP API
            + Added beginnings of O:P:MOP::Class, O:P:MOP::Slot sufficient to
              create classes and add slots and methods to them

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Ensure that anonymous methods can perform lexical captures from
           outside scopes (RT132178)
         * Ensure that subclasses without BUILD methods don't double invoke
           that of their superclass
         * Ensure a method's optree begins with OP_NEXTSTATE as debug tools
           may rely on this (RT132413)
         * Don't rely on Test::MemoryGrowth at test time, so tests can still
           pass on non-Linux

0.24    (bad MANIFEST)

0.23    2020-04-21
        [CHANGES]

0.22    2020-04-17
        [CHANGES]
         * Allow classes to request their representation type using new

         * Handle UTF-8 package names more correctly

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Fix memory leaks related to OP_METHSTART (RT132332)

0.20    2020-04-10
        [CHANGES]
         * Update suggested style for methods with signatures to put
           whitespace before open paren
         * Use core's `feature "indirect"` in preference to indirect.pm where
           available (perl 5.31.9 onwards)

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Fix for segfault when compiling inner anon methods inside other
           methods (RT132321)

0.19    2020-04-04

         * Updated for XS::Parse::Sublike 0.06 API

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Create a new slot pad for every method instead of reusing one;
           avoids some refcounting issues that cause segfaults (RT132249)

0.16    2020-03-26
        [CHANGES]
         * Always generate the slots AV even with no slots because otherwise
           METHSTART gets upset about no-slot subclasses
         * Capture the `async method` unit tests from Future-AsyncAwait

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Ensure that object refs or slot values don't hang around in method
           lexicals after they've returned (RT132228)
         * Use OP_STUB to ensure no-slot subclasses don't crash OP_PUSH on

         * Handle class-scoped regular lexicals and outer captures

0.14    2020-03-17

0.13    2020-03-15
        [CHANGES]
         * Use XS::Parse::Sublike for the bulk of the `method` parsing work

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Inline the code for Perl_package_version() because it isn't
           exported API so not actually visible on non-ELF platforms

0.12    2020-03-10
        [CHANGES]
         * Minor adjustments to order of operations in method keyword parsing
           to closer match core's parser

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Rename t/80dynamically+Object::Pad.t to use a hyphen because colons
           confuse MSWin32 (RT132087)

0.11    2020-03-07
        [CHANGES]
         * More efficient method enter on perl 5.22 onwards by detecting which

        [CHANGES]
         * Accept optional version number for `class` declaration and
           `extends` base class
         * Provide a default `BUILDALL` method which invokes all the available
           `BUILD` methods of component packages
         * Unit-test that Syntax::Keyword::Dynamically works correctly with
           object slots and document the fact that `local` does not

        [BUGFIXES]
         * Generate the constructor as an XSUB so we can find the superclass
           for derived subclasses better and avoid an infinite recusion loop

        [CHANGES]
         * Accept `class Name;` to introduce a toplevel class scope

0.06    2019-10-23
        [CHANGES]

           compiletime constants and only on scalar slots

0.05    2019-10-20
        [CHANGES]
         * Implement single-inheriance subclassing

0.04    2019-10-19

           classes, etc...
         * Support perls back to 5.16 by various trickery
         * Store array and hash slot variables via RV so the instances are
           well-behaved as perl data structures

0.03    2019-10-18
        [CHANGES]
         * Implement sub signatures
