Revision history for Perl extension Moose

0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
    * Moose::Util::MetaRole
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
      - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
        well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
        using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
      - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
        extensions (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
      - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
        respectively.

0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
    * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
      dependency to 0.64_07.

0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
    * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
      - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not 
        found (t0m).
      
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
        return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
        type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
        coincidental exception. (t0m).
        - added docs & test for this (t0m)
    
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
      - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
        not supplied (t0m).
        - added docs & test for this (t0m)

    * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
      - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
        (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
        method when that method was provided by another role being
        composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
        - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
        
0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

    !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now         !!
    !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
        or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
        - added test for this (t0m)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
        coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
        coerce. (t0m)
        - added test for this (t0m)

    * Moose::Exporter
      - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
        modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
        much easier. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose
    * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
      - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):

          use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

        This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
        easier (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
      - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
        editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
      - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
      - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
        recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose
    * Moose::Role
      - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
        package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
        main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Role
      - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
        can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
        Rolsky and nothingmuch)
      - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
        (nothingmuch)

    * many modules
      - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
        refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
        constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
        created so that the process can be more easily
        overridden by subclasses (stevan)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
        the type constraints (RT #37569)
        - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)

    * Moose::Cookbook
      - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
        Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
      - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
        in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
      - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
        your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
      - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
      - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
        class (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
      - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
        Rolsky)

    * all documentation
      - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
        Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)

0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
    ... this is not my day today ...
    
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that 
        clone_and_inherit options still works for 
        Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore 
        does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
        (stevan)

0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
    * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before 
      actually releasing the module. No actual changes 
      in this release, except the fact that it includes
      the changes that I didn't include in the last 
      release. (stevan--)

0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
    * Moose
      - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
        to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
      - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since 
        this is not ever something you want to do 
        (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
        - added tests for this (stevan)

    * Moose::Object
      - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES) 
        (nothingmuch)
        - added test for this

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
        - added tests for this (wreis)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
      - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should 
        not have been released yet. Added some more examples
        to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Style
      - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the 
        cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)

    * t/
      - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)

0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
    * Moose::Role
      - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
        something (sartak)

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
      - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
        order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
        added to the list of required methods for consumers of
        RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
        required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
        provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
        of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
        an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
        unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
        dew. (Dave Rolsky)
        - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
        - added tests for this (sartak)
      - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
        install_delegation method (Stevan)

    * Moose::Object
      - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
      - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
      - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
        (not yet fixed)
      - Some null_constraint optimizations

0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
    - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
      to 0.50.

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with 
        custom defined reader, writer and accessor
        options. 
        - added docs for this (TODO).
        - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
      - added the custom attribute alias for regular
        Moose attributes which is "Moose"
      - fix builder and default both being used
        (groditi)

    * Moose
      Moose::Meta::Class
      Moose::Meta::Attribute
      Moose::Meta::Role
      Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
      Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - switched usage of reftype to ref because 
        it is much faster
        
    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
        HASH ref form
    
    * Moose::Object
      - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it 
        can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
        - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - move the ClassName type check code to
        Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)

    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
      - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)

0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
    (early morning release engineering)--

    - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      which was causing the indexer to choke

0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
    (late night release engineering)--

    - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional 
      changes in this release

0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
    !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
    !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - some optimizations of the &initialize method
        since it is called so often by &meta    
        
    * Moose::Meta::Class
      Moose::Meta::Role
      - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the 
        updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds 
        faster
    
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      - is_needed can now also be called as a class 
        method for immutablization to check if the 
        destructor object even needs to be created 
        at all
    
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
      Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - added more descriptive error message to help 
        keep people from wasting time tracking an error
        that is easily fixed by upgrading.

0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
    * Moose
      - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.56, all 
        XS based functionality is now optional
        and a Pure Perl version is supplied
        - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
          can now be used to force non-XS versions 
          to always be used   
        - several of the packages have been tweaked
          to take care of this, mostly we added
          support for the package_name and name 
          variables in all the Method metaclasses
      - before/around/after method modifiers now 
        support regexp matching of names
        (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
        - tests added for this
        - NOTE: this only works for classes, it 
          is currently not supported in roles, 
          but, ... patches welcome
      - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
        by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
        the stack trace is usually not helpful
      
    * Moose::Role
      - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
        by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
        the stack trace is usually not helpful  
      - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the 
        same array ref form that Moose.pm does 
        (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
        - added test for this
      
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
        error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
        constructor

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in 
        Class::MOP 0.56

    * Moose::Util
      - does_role now handles non-Moose classes 
        more gracefully
        - added tests for this
      - added the 'add_method_modifier' function 
        (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - subtypes of parameterizable types now are 
        themselves parameterizable types

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - fixed bug where trigger was not being 
        called by the inlined immutable 
        constructors 
        - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
    
    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
      - now uses the metaclass of the instance
        (if possible) to create the anon-class
        (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
    
    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
      - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
        (thanks to Sartak)
    
    * t/
      - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was 
        causing occasional cpantester failures
      - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be 
        more descriptive (thanks to Sartak) 

0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
    * Moose
      - made make_immutable warning cluck to 
        show where the error is (thanks mst)
    
    * Moose::Object
      - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call 
        ->body when looping through the 
        methods, to avoid the overloaded
        method call.
      - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
        eating the $@ values, and so not 
        working correctly, it still kind of
        eats them, but so does vanilla perl 
        - added tests for this
      
    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
      - added new recipe for immutable 
        functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
      
    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
      - added new recipe for builder and 
        lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
      
    * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
      - added new recipe for method aliasing 
        and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)

    * t/
      - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

    ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat 
      since Module::Install has done that.

0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
    * NOTE TO SELF:
        drink more coffee before 
        doing release engineering
      
    - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests, 
      and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
      modules. This fixes that.

0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
    - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else 
      changed in this release (cpantesters++)
      
    - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55 
      since we have tests which need the C3 
      support

0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
    ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
    
    - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
      error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)

    ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
    - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
      use it in any new code and please fix your old code
      as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
      be removed.

    * Moose

        coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the 
        mailing list)
        - added test for this

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
        the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
        found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
        - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
      - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - inherited attributes may now be extended without 
        restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
        - added tests for this (Sartak)
      - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without 
        a default), give the name of the attribute in the error 
        message (Sartak)
      - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods 
        to allow introspection of traits
        - added tests for this

        '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)
        - added tests for this (t0m)
     
    * Moose::Object 
      - localize $@ inside DEMOLISHALL to avoid it 
        eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
        - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - &find_type_constraint now DWIMs when given an 
        type constraint object or name (nothingmuch)
      - &find_or_create_type_constraint superseded with a number of more

0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
    - I hate Pod::Coverage

0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
    * Moose
      - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes 
        that come from recently composed roles. It makes
        sense, people are using it, and so why not just 
        officially support it.
      - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not 
        trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
      
    * oose
      - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow 
        monkeypatching of classes in one liners
      
    * Moose::Util
      - fixing the 'apply_all_roles' keyword so that it will not 
        trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)    
    
    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - added ->create method which now supports roles (thanks to jrockway)
        - added tests for this
      - added ->create_anon_class which now supports roles and caching of 
        the results (thanks to jrockway)
        - added tests for this
      - made ->does_role a little more forgiving when it is
        checking a Class::MOP era metaclasses.
    
    * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
      - it is now possible to pass extra params to be used when 
        a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params)
        - added tests for this
    
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
        custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
        - added tests for this 
      - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an 
        ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else 
        works as before.
        - added tests for this
    
    * t/
      - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed 
        from a role, it works and makes sense too.    

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute 
      - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing 
        when the method cannot be found, not sure why 
        it ever did this originally, this means we now
        have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed 
        objects
        - added more delegation tests
      - adding ->does method to this so as to better 
        support traits and their introspection.
        - added tests for this
    
    * Moose::Object
      - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so 
        that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
      - made ->does a little more forgiving when it is
        passed Class::MOP era metaclasses.

0.38 Fri. Feb. 15, 2008

        - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
    
    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - improved error message on _apply_all_roles, 
        you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
        and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
        method in the first place ;)

0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
    ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
    ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

    Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
      - (see the POD for details)
      
    * <<Role System Refactoring>>    
    - this release contains a major reworking and 
      cleanup of the role system     
      - 100% backwards compat.
      - Role application now restructured into seperate
        classes based on type of applicants
      - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
        is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer 
        used in this process
      - new Composite role metaclass    
      - runtime application of roles to instances
        is now more efficient and re-uses generated
        classes when applicable
        
    * <<New Role composition features>>
      - methods can now be excluded from a given role 
        during composition
      - methods can now be aliased to another name (and 
        still retain the original as well)        
    
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints
      - added this module (see above)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
        by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - fixed bug when passing a list of values to
        an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
        Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      Moose::Meta::Attribute
      Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint      
      Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion      
      - lots of cleanup of such things as: 
        - generated methods
        - type constraint handling
        - error handling/messages 
        (thanks to nothingmuch)   
    
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
      - added this module to support the refactor 
        in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
      - refactored how these types are handled so they 
        are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
        and HashRef only

    * t/
      - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)

0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
    !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
    !!  with new Class::MOP 0.49  !!

    ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
       Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

    * Moose::Meta::Class
    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - several tweaks to take advantage of the
        new method map caching in Class::MOP

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
      - allow subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef to
        be used as a container (sartak)
        - added tests for this
      - basic support for coercion to ArrayRef and
        HashRef for containers (sartak)
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
      - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
        so you can now add coercions to parameterized
        types without having to explictly define them
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
        to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)

0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
        they should inherit the parent's coercion
        - added tests for this
      - you can now define multiple coercions on
        a single type at different times instead of
        having to do it all in one place
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
        instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
        this for us

    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
      - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
        &add_type_coercions methods to support the
        new features above (although you cannot add
        more type coercions for Union types)

0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
        parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
        now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
        - added tests for this.
      - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
        have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
        method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
        - added tests for this
        - added docs for this

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - passing no "additional attribute info" to
        &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
        attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
        instead it will just return undef.
        - added docs for this

0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

      - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
        - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

    * t/
      - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
        attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
        builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

    * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
      got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - fixed how required methods are handled
        when they encounter overriden or modified
        methods from a class (thanks to confound).
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
      - fixed the type notation parser so that
        the | always creates a union and so is
        no longer a valid type char (thanks to
        konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
        this one out.)
        - added more tests for this

0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
    == New Features ==

    * Parameterized Types
      We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
          ArrayRef[Int]    # array or integers
          HashRef[Object]  # a hash with object values
      They can also be nested:
          ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
      And work with the type unions as well:
          ArrayRef[Int | Str]  # array of integers of strings

    * Better Framework Extendability
      Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
      easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
      and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
      section of the Moose.pm docs.

    * Moose Snacks!
      In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
      details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
      created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
      small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

      - large refactoring of this code
      - added several more tests
        - tests for subtle conflict resolition issues

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
      - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

      - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
        mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
        the other side (perigrin)

0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

        loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
        prototypes for functions
      - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
        which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

    * Moose::Object
      - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
        a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
        having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
        - added tests for this

0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
    * Moose

    ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
       many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
    >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
       so this release is just to fix that.

    * Moose
      - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
        to create multiple attrs (see docs)

0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
    ~~ More documentation updates ~~

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - 'type' now supports messages as well
        thanks to phaylon for finding this

        &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
        functions to facilitate introspection.

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
        to build the list of delegated methods
        correctly (and not override important
        things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
        for finding this
        - added tests and docs for this
      - added the 'documentation' attributes
        so that you can actually document your
        attributes and inspect them through the
        meta-object.
        - added tests and docs for this

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
        it will first look in for the class in the
        Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
        then default to just loading $name.
        - added tests and docs for this

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - type constraints now stringify to their names.
        - added test for this

    * misc.
      - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
      - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
        test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
        - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)

0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
    ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~

    * misc.

    !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001  !!
    !! for this developer release to work !!

    This release was primarily adding the immutable
    feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
    you promise not to alter. When you set the class
    as immutable it will perform various bits of
    memoization and inline certain part of the code
    (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
    minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
    one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
    feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
    It has several configurable bits as well, so you
    can pick and choose to your specific needs.

    The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
    highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
    I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
    truely interested in what was changed, please do
    a diff :)

0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - bugfix for read-only accessors which
        are have a type constraint and lazy.
        Thanks to chansen for finding it.

0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
    ++ NOTE ++
    There are some speed improvements in this release,
    but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.

    * Moose::Object
      - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
        called unless they actually need to be.
        This gave us a signifigant speed boost
        for the cases when there is no BUILD or
        DEMOLISH method present.

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
        type constraint, which allows for a
        hand optimized version of the type
        constraint to be used when possible.
      - Any internally created type constraints
        now provide an optimized version as well.

0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
    ++ NOTE ++
    This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
    to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
    been made in order to be compatible with that release.

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - added &unimport so that you can clean out
        your class namespace of these exported
        keywords

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - fixed minor issue which occasionally
        comes up during global destruction
        (thanks omega)
      - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
        its own file.

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
        its own file.

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - changed how we do type checks so that
        we reduce the overall cost, but still
        retain correctness.
       *** API CHANGE ***
      - moved accessor generation methods to
        Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
        conform to the API changes from
        Class::MOP 0.36

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - changed how constraints are compiled
        so that we do less recursion and more
        iteration. This makes the type check
        faster :)
      - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
        into its own file

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
      - created this from methods formerly found in
        Moose::Meta::Attribute

    * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
      - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role

    * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
      - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
      - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
        checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
        - added tests for this
      - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
        automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
        broke predicates in an ugly way.
        - removed tests for this

0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
    ++ NOTE ++
    This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
    to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
    been made in order to be compatible with that release.

    * Moose
      - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
        symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
        (thanks Adam Kennedy)

      **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
      - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
        comments for more info.

    * Moose::Cookbook
      - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
        asked questions and common problems

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
        not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
        This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
        as well.
      - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
        - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - added basic support for runtime role composition
        but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
        is much appreciated :)
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
        through delegation, this is to support the coercion
        of unions

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
      - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
        on a type union
        - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)

    * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
      - properly capturing error when type constraint
        is not found

    * Build.PL
      - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
        only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
        (thanks Adam Kennedy)

0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
    * Moose::Cookbook
      - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written

    * Moose
      - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
      - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
        keywords because we need to localize them.
      - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)

      **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
      - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
        just sugar, and they may not stay around.

    * Moose::Object
      - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
        an object

    * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
      - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
        and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
        creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
        - fixed tests to reflect this change

0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
    * Moose
      - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
        that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
        bottom of your class file.

    * t/
      - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
        dependency.

0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
    * Moose
      - improved error message when loading modules so
        it is less confusing when you load a role.
      - added &calculate_all_roles method to
        Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role

    NOTE:
    This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
    but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
    it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
    ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
    * Moose
      - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
         needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
         turn them on for you.

      - moved code from exported subs to private methods
        in Moose::Meta::Class

    * Moose::Role
      - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
        automatically turned on for you.
         - added tests for this

      - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
      - updated docs

0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
    ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
      - This release works in combination with
        Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
        release because it uses the a new
        instance sub-protocol and a fairly
        complete Role implementation. It has
        not yet been optimized, so it slower
        the the previous CPAN version. This
        release also lacks good updated docs,
        the official release will have updated docs.

    * Moose
      - refactored the keyword exports
        - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
          accepts more than one Role at a time
        - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
           needed to ensure metaclass compatability

    * Moose::Role
      - refactored the keyword exports
        - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
          accepts more than one Role at a time

    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
        string enumerations which can be used as
        type constraints
        - see example of usage in t/202_example.t

    * Moose::Object
      - more careful checking of params to new()

    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - much work done on the role composition
        - many new tests for conflict detection
          and composition edge cases
        - not enough documentation, I suggest
          looking at the tests

    * Moose::Meta::Instance
      - added new Instance metaclass to support
        the new Class::MOP instance protocol

    * Moose::Meta::Class
      - some small changes to support the new
        instance protocol
      - some small additions to support Roles

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - some improvements to the accessor generation code
        by nothingmuch
      - some small changes to support the new
        instance protocol
      - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
        with the 'handles' option
        - added several tests for this
        - no docs for this yet

0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
    * Moose
      - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
        thanks to chansen for this commit
      - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
        to support custom attribute meta-classes
        on a per-attribute basis
        - added tests for this
      - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
        specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
        experimental feature and probably not finished
        see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
        more details, or ask about it on #moose
        - added tests for this

    * Moose::Role

        - added tests for this

    * Moose
      - Moose no longer creates a subtype for your class

      - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
        being reported
        - added test for this

    * Moose::Object
      - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
        you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
        - added test for this

0.03_02 Wed. April 12, 2006

    * Moose
      - many more tests, fixing some bugs and
        edge cases

        UNIVERSAL::require
        - added UNIVERSAL::require to the
          dependencies list
