Revision history for Perl extension Class-MOP.
0.56 Saturday, May 24, 2008
* Class::MOP
- we now get the &check_package_cache_flag
function from MRO::Compat
- All XS based functionality now has a
Pure Perl alternative
- the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
can now be used to force non-XS versions
to always be used
* Class::MOP::Attribute
- add has_read_method and has_write_method
- get_{read,write}_method_ref now wraps the
anon-sub ref in the method metaclass when
possible
- added tests for this
* Class::MOP::Immutable
- added the ability to "wrap" methods when
making the class immutable
* Class::MOP::Class
- now handling the edge case of ->meta->identifier
dying by wrapping add_package_symbol to specifically
allow for it to work.
- added tests for this
* Class::MOP::Attribute
Class::MOP::Class
Class::MOP::Immutable
- any time a method meta object is constructed
we make sure to pass the correct package and
method name information
* Class::MOP::Method
Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped
Class::MOP::Method::Generated
Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
Class::MOP::Method::Consructor
- the &wrap constructor method now requires that a
'package_name' and 'name' attribute are passed. This
is to help support the no-XS version, and will
throw an error if these are not supplied.
- all these classes are now bootstrapped properly
and now store the package_name and name attributes
correctly as well
~ Build.PL has been removed since the
Module::Install support has been removed
0.55 Mon. April 28, 2008
- All classes now have proper C3 MRO support
- added MRO::Compat as a dependency to allow
for the C3 MRO support to Just Work in all
perl versions
* Class::MOP::Class
- rebless_instance now returns the instance
it has just blessed, this is mostly to
facilitate chaining
- set the attr correctly in rebless_instance
when it has no init_arg
- tweaked &linear_isa and &class_precedence_list
to support c3 classes.
0.54 Fri. March, 14, 2008
* Class::MOP
metaclass.pm
- making sure that load_class never gets
passed a value from @_ or $_ to squash
Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
* Class::MOP::Class
- make_{immutable,mutable} now return 1
(cause Sartak asked)
- improved error handling in ->create method
- rebless_instance now takes extra params which
will be used to populate values
- added tests for this
* Class::MOP::Object
- localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
* Class::MOP::Class
Class::MOP::Package
Class::MOP::Module
Class::MOP::Method
Class::MOP::Attribute
- these classes no longer define their own ->meta,
but instead just inherit from Class::MOP::Object
* Class::MOP::Instance
Class::MOP::Immutable
- these classes now inherit from Class::MOP::Object
* t/
- fixed the filename length on several
test files so we install on VMS better
(RT #32295)
- fixed incorrect use of catdir when it
should be catfile (RT #32385)
0.53 Thurs. Feb. 14, 1008
~~ several doc. fixes and updates ~~
* Class::MOP::Class
Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
Class::MOP::Attribute
- making init_arg accept an undefined value
to indicate that no constructor args can
be passed (thanks to nothingmuch)
- added tests for this
- added attribute initializer attribute (rjbs)
* Class::MOP.
- making this use the new init_arg => undef
feature instead of the silly hack from
before (thanks to nothingmuch)
0.52 Tues. Jan. 22, 2008
* Class::MOP::Class
- fixed bug in rebless_instance
(discovered by ash)
* Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
- removed assumptions about the existence of
a &meta method
0.51 Mon. Jan. 14, 2008
~~~ some misc. doc. fixes ~~~
~~ updated copyright dates ~~
* Class::MOP
- now sets the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10
constant so that we can take advantage
of some of the nice bits of 5.10
* Class::MOP::Class
- uses the IS_RUNNING_ON_5_10 flag to
optimize the &linearized_isa method
and avoid the hack/check for circular
inheritence in &class_precedence_list
- added rebless_instance method (Sartak)
- added tests for this
* Class::MOP::Immutable
- the immutable class now keeps track of
the transformer which immutablized it
* Class::MOP::Instance
- added rebless_instance_structure method (Sartak)

0.49 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
!! Class::MOP now loads 2 x faster !!
!! with XS speedups (thanks konobi) !!
* Class::MOP
- removed the dependency on B
- added two XS functions (thanks konobi)
- get_code_info($code) which replaces all
the B fiddling we were doing with
faster/leaner XS level fiddling
- check_package_cache_flag($pkg_name) which
returns the PL_sub_generation variable to
be used to help manage method caching.
NOTE:
In 5.10 or greater this will actually
use the mro::get_pkg_gen instead to give
even more accurate caching information.
blblack++ for that stuff :)
* Class::MOP::Class
- added the &subclasses method (thanks rlb)
- added the update_package_cache_flag and
reset_package_cache_flag which help keep
track of when we need to re-fetch the
method map.
- Several small improvements to take advantage
of the new method map caching features
0.48 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
* Class::MOP::Attribute
- fixed get_read/write_method to handle the
HASH ref case, which makes the
get_read/write_method_ref handle it too.
- added more tests for this
0.47 Sat. Nov. 24, 2007
* Class::MOP::Attribute
- fixed misspelling in get_write_method_ref
- added more tests for this
0.46 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
* Class::MOP::Class
- added the linearized_isa method instead of constantly
pruning duplicate classes (this will be even more
useful in the 5.10-compat version coming soon)
* Class::MOP::Attribute

methods which allow you to retrieve a CODE ref which
can always be used to read or write an attribute.

* Class::MOP::Attribute
- Fix error message on confess (groditi)
0.44 Thurs. Nov. 13, 2007

subclasses now.
- added tests for this
- added the option to allow for both inlined and
non-inlined constructors.
- Update inlined methods for builder and predicate changes (groditi)

- added this class as an abstract base for the
Class::MOP::Method::{Constructor,Accessor} classes
- added tests for this
*t/
- Alter tests (005, 014 020, 021) for new builder addition (groditi)
- Tests for new predicate behavior (and corrections to old tests) (groditi)
*examples/
- Update ArrayRef based class example to work with predicate changes
0.42 Mon. July 16, 2007
!!! Horray for mst, he fixed it !!!
* Class::MOP::Package
- alter symbol table handling to deal with 5.8.x and 5.9.x
* t/
- Get rid of the crappy workaround from 0.40/41
0.41 Sun. July 15, 2007
* t/
Arghh!!! My TODO test didn't work, so I handle
it manually now so that people can use this
with 5.9.5/bleadperl without issue.
0.40 Tues, July 3, 2007
* t/
~ marked a test in 003_methods.t as TODO
for perl 5.9.5 (this test is irrelvant to
the module functioning on 5.9.5 for the most
part anyway)
0.39 Mon. June 18, 2007
* Class::MOP::Immutable
- added make_metaclass_mutable + docs (groditi)
- removed unused variable
- added create_immutable_transformer
necessary for sane overloading of immutable behavior
- tests for this (groditi)
* Class::MOP::Class
- Immutability can now be undone,
added make_mutable + tests + docs (groditi)
- Massive changes to the way Immutable is done
for details see comments next to make_immutable
This fixes a bug where custom metaclasses broke
when made immutable. We are now keeping one immutable
metaclass instance per metaclass instead of just one
to prevent isa hierarchy corruption. Memory use will go
up, but I suspect it will be neglible.
- New tests added for this behavior. (groditi)
0.38 Thurs. May 31, 2007
~~ More documentation updates ~~
* Class::MOP::Package
- we now deal with stub methods properly
- added tests for this
- fixed some tests failing on 5.9.5 (thanks blblack)
* Class::MOP::Attribute
- added get_read_method and get_write_method
thanks to groditi for this code, tests
and docs.
- added tests and POD for this
* Class::MOP::Class
- fixed RT issue #27329, clone object now
handles undef values correctly.
- added tests for this
- Corrected anon-class handling so that they
will not get reaped when instances still
exist which need to reference them. This is
the correct behavior, hopefully this is an
obscure enough feature that there are not too
many work arounds out in the wild.
- added tests for this by groditi
- updated docs to explain this
* metaclass
- load custom metaclasses automatically (thanks groditi)
- added tests for this behavior
0.37 Sat. March 10, 2007
~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
* Class::MOP
- added &load_class and &is_class_loaded
- added tests and docs for these
* Class::MOP::Attribute
- default now checks the instance with defined to
avoid setting off bool-overloads (found by Carl Franks)
0.37_002
* /t
- bad name in a test, causing meaningless failuress.
No other changes.
0.37_001
~~ GLOBAL CHANGES ~~
- All attribute names are now consistent and follow Perl 6
style (prefixed with the sigil, and ! as the twigil for
private attrs). This should not affect any code, unless
you broke encapsulation, in which case, it is your problem
anyway.
!! Class::MOP::Class::Immutable has been removed
* Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
- this has been moved out of Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
and is a proper subclass of Class::MOP::Method now.
* Class::MOP::Class
- this module now uses Class::MOP::Immutable for the
immutable transformation instead of
Class::MOP::Class::Immutable.
+ Class::MOP::Immutable
- this module now controls the transformation from a mutable
to an immutable version of the class. Docs for this will
be coming eventually.
0.36 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006

- added the %:methods attribute, which like
the $:version and such just actually goes
to the symbol table to get it's stuff.
However, it makes the MOP more complete.
** API CHANGE **
- The &create method now requires that all
but the package name now is passed in as
named parameters. See docs for more info.
- updated docs and tests for this

- added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
an object
* Class::MOP

0.30 Wed. July 5, 2006
---------------------------------------
This is the first version of Class::MOP
to introduce the immutable features which
will be used for optimizating the MOP.
This support should still be considered
experimental, but moving towards stability.
---------------------------------------
* Created Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
* Created the Class::MOP::Package and
Class::MOP::Module classes to more
closely conform to Perl 6's meta-model
* Class::MOP::Class
- now inherits from Class::MOP::Module
- several methods moved to ::Module and
::Package and now inherited
- added tests for this
* Class::MOP::Instance
- added an is_inlinable method to allow other
classes to check before they attempt to optimize.
- added an inline_create_instance to inline
instance creation (of course)
** API CHANGE **
- the Class::MOP::Class::*_package_variable
methods are all now methods of Class::MOP::Package
and called *_package_symbol instead. This is
because they are now more general purpose symbol
table manipulation methods.

access to all the cached metaclass objects.
- attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
of the attribute itself, and construct_instance now
delegates appropriately
* Class::MOP::Attribute
- attribute slot initialization is now the responsibility
of the attribute itself, so we added a method for it
called initialize_instance_slot
* examples/
- adjusted all the examples to use the new attribute
initialize_instance_slot method

- removed the dependency for Clone since
we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
* Class::MOP::Method

- changed how clone_instance behaves, it now only does a
shallow clone (see docs for more details)
- added docs and tests
0.10 Tues Feb. 14, 2006
** This release was mostly about writing more tests and
cleaning out old and dusty code, the MOP should now
be considered "ready to use".
- adding more tests to get coverage up a little higher,
mostly testing errors and edge cases.
- test coverage is now at 99%
* Class::MOP
- no longer optionally exports to UNIVERSAL::meta or
creates a custom metaclass generator, use the
metaclass pragma instead.

metaclass a little more straightforward
* Class::MOP
- clean up bootstrapping to include more complete

- fixing minor meta-circularity issue with &meta, it
is now more useful for subclasses
- added &get_attribute_map as an accessor for the
hash of attribute meta objects
