Changes for version 0.79

Changes for version 0.78_02

  • Class::MOP::Class
  • Class::MOP::Immutable
    • A big backwards-incompatible refactoring of the Immutable API, and the make_immutable/make_mutable pieces of the Class API. The core __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable API remains the same, however, so this should only affect the most guts-digging code.
  • XS code
    • The XS code used a macro, XSPROTO, that's only in 5.10.x. This has been fixed to be backwards compatible with 5.8.x.
  • Class::MOP::Class
    • Add a hook for rebless_instance_away (Sartak)
    • Use blessed instead of ref to get an instance's class name in rebless_instance. (Sartak)

Changes for version 0.78_01

  • Class::MOP::*
    • Revised and reorganized all of the API documentation. All classes now have (more or less) complete API documentation.
  • Class::MOP::Class
  • Class::MOP::Instance
    • Reblessing into a package that supports overloading wasn't properly adding overload magic to the object due to a bug in (at least) 5.8.8. We now use $_[1] directly which seems to set the magic properly. (Sartak)
  • Class::MOP::Attribute
    • The process_accessors method is now private. A public alias exists (and will stick around for a few releases), but it warns that calling the public method is deprecated.
  • Class::MOP::Method::Generated
    • Removed the new and _new methods, since this is an abstract base class, and all existing subclasses implement their own constructors.
  • MOP.xs
    • Stop is_class_loaded from thinking a class is loaded if it only has an empty GV (Florian Ragwitz).
      • Add a test for this (Yappo).
    • Refactor get_all_package_symbols to allow short-circuiting (Florian Ragwitz).
      • Use this in is_class_loaded (Florian Ragwitz).
    • Stop segfaulting when trying to get the name from a sub that's still being compiled (Florian Ragwitz).
      • Add tests for this (Florian Ragwitz).
    • Prefix all public symbols with "mop_" (Florian Ragwitz).
    • Clean up and simplify prehashing of hash keys (Florian Ragwitz).
    • Simplify creating simple xs reader methods (Florian Ragwitz).
    • Make everything compile with c++ compilers (Florian Ragwitz).
    • Upgrade ppport.h from 3.14 to 3.17 (Florian Ragwitz).
  • Tests
    • Remove optional test plans for tests depending on Sub::Name as we have a hard dependency on Sub::Name anyway (Florian Ragwitz).
  • Makefile.PL
    • Rebuild all c code if mop.h has changed (Florian Ragwitz)
