* Class::MOP::Class
- optimise metaclass-already-exists check in
construct_class_instance (groditi)
- duplicate check into initialize to save a
call through (groditi)

* Class::MOP::Instance
- Make predicates check for the existence of a value, not whether

* Class::MOP::Method::Accessor
- made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated
- removed the relevant attributes
* Class::MOP::Method::Constructor
- fixed the cached values we had to be more sane
- made this a subclass of Class::MOP::Method::Generated

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)
* Class::MOP::Method::Generated
- 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/

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
* Class::MOP::Class
- added a few 'no warnings' lines to keep annoying
(and meaningless) warnings from chirping during
global destruction.

- some more bootstrapping is now done on the new
classes
* Class::MOP::Class::Immutable

Class::MOP::Method::Accessor to generate
accessors

- all accessor generation functions from
Class::MOP::Attribute have been moved here
0.35 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
* scripts/class_browser.pl
- initial prototype of a class browser, more
on this to come. Comments and patches are
very much welcome.

* Class::MOP::Class
- changed how methods are dealt with to
encapsulate most of the work into the
&get_method_map method
- made several adjustments for the change
in Class::MOP::Method
- &add_attribute now checks if you are adding
a duplicate name, and properly removes the
old one before installing the new one
- added tests for this
- adjusted docs for this
* Class::MOP::Class::Immutable
- added caching of &get_method_map
- fixed issue with &get_package_symbol
- cleaned up the methods that die (patch by David Wheeler)

&list_all_package_symbols
0.34 Sat. Aug. 26, 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
* Class::MOP::Object
- added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
an object
* Class::MOP
- cleaned up the initialization of attributes
which do not store things in the instance
- added the %:methods attribute definition to
the bootstrap
~ lots of misc. test cleanup
0.33 Sat. Aug. 19, 2006

with symbol tables. The namespace hash is now
always reloaded from the symbol table.
~ lots of misc. documentation cleanup
0.32 Sat. Aug. 12, 2006
+ added Class::MOP::Object so that the
metamodel is more complete (and closer
to what Perl 6 will probably be).

the primary gateway between the metaclass
and the Perl 5 symbol table
- added many tests for this

Class::MOP::Object
- added some tests to reflect this

- refactored all symbol table access to
use Class::MOP::Package methods instead

as well as an &identifier method, to bring us
ever closer to Perl 6 goodness

instance.
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.
0.29_02 Thurs. June 22, 2006
++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
* Class::MOP::Class
- small change in &create so that it behaves
properly when inherited

0.29_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
- This release works in combination with
Moose 0.09_01, it is a developer release
because it introduces a new instance
sub-protocol and has not yet been
optimized.

- added new instance protocol
- added tests for this
- changed all relevant modules and examples

instance storage using ARRAY refs instead of
HASH refs.

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
0.24 Tues. April 11, 2006

to them basically)
- added tests for this
- adjusted all /example files to comply
0.22 Mon. March 20, 2006
* Class::MOP::Class
- localized $@ in the *_package_variable functions
because otherwise, it does ugly things in Moose.
- added test case for this

- removed the dependency for Clone since
we no longer to deep-cloning by default.
* Class::MOP::Method
- added &package_name, &name and

- 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.

- fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
error/edge-case tests
* Class::MOP::Attribute
- fixed a number of minor issues which came up in the
error/edge-case tests

0.06 Thurs Feb. 9, 2006
* metaclass
- adding new metaclass pragma to make setting up the
metaclass a little more straightforward
* Class::MOP
- clean up bootstrapping to include more complete
attribute definitions for Class::MOP::Class and
Class::MOP::Attribute (accessors, readers, writers,
etc.) ... it is redundant, but is useful meta-info
to have around.
* Class::MOP::Class
- 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
- &compute_all_applicable_attributes now just returns
the attribute meta-object, rather than the HASH ref
since all the same info can be gotten from the
attribute meta-object itself
- updated docs & tests to reflect
- added &clone_instance method which does a deep clone
of the instance structure created by &construct_instance
- added docs & tests for this

more like &construct_instance (and managed the singletons too)
- added the &check_metaclass_compatibility method to make sure
that metaclasses are upward and downward compatible.
- added tests and docs for this
* examples/
- adjusting code to use the &Class::MOP::Class::meta
fix detailed above
