Changes for version 0.38

  • ~~ 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
