Description

There is currently no way to know what the previous meta class was in the case of listening for meta class registry change events. This is because you only get a reference to the class and the new meta class in the event. The event is fired after the meta class is changed as well so you can't even use the class to lookup the old meta class. Please provide a way to get hold of the old meta class.

MetaClassRegistryChangeEvent now has new getters :

  • getOldMetaClass which returns the old metaclass as needed
  • isPerInstanceMetaClassChange which tells if the change is per-instance
  • getInstance which returns the object on which a per-instance metaclass change has been triggered
