f3c4e20e 4 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
5 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
6 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
7 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
8 - added tests for this.
9 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
10 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
11 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
12 - added tests for this
13 - added docs for this
14
15 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
16 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
17 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
18 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
19 instead it will just return undef.
20 - added docs for this
21

89 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
90 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
91 this one out.)
92 - added more tests for this
93
77a18c28 940.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
95 == New Features ==
96
97 * Parameterized Types
98 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
99 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
100 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
101 They can also be nested:
102 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
103 And work with the type unions as well:
104 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
105
106 * Better Framework Extendability
107 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
108 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
109 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
110 section of the Moose.pm docs.
111
112 * Moose Snacks!
113 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
114 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
115 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
116 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
117

943596a6 341 functions to facilitate introspection.
d022f632 342
343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
344 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
345 to build the list of delegated methods
346 correctly (and not override important
ddbdc0cb 347 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
348 for finding this
349 - added tests and docs for this
c1935ade 350 - added the 'documentation' attributes
ddbdc0cb 351 so that you can actually document your
352 attributes and inspect them through the

355
c1935ade 356 * Moose::Meta::Class

378 load all classes.
379 - added tests to show types and subtypes
380 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
381 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
b77fdbed 382
587ae0d2 3830.18_001
d01f1dab 384 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
385 !! for this developer release to work !!
386
734d1752 387 This release was primarily adding the immutable
388 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
389 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
390 as immutable it will perform various bits of
391 memoization and inline certain part of the code
392 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
393 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
394 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
395 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
396 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
397 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
398
399 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
400 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
401 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
402 truely interested in what was changed, please do
403 a diff :)
587ae0d2 404
4050.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
407 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
408 are have a type constraint and lazy.
409 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
410
4110.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
412 ++ NOTE ++
413 There are some speed improvements in this release,
414 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
415
416 * Moose::Object
417 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
418 called unless they actually need to be.
419 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
420 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
421 DEMOLISH method present.
422
423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
425 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
426 type constraint, which allows for a
427 hand optimized version of the type
428 constraint to be used when possible.
429 - Any internally created type constraints
430 now provide an optimized version as well.
431
ecb59493 4320.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
946289d1 433 ++ NOTE ++
434 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
435 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
436 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
571dd39f 437
438 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
439 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
440 your class namespace of these exported
441 keywords
442

444 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
445 comes up during global destruction
446 (thanks omega)
946289d1 447 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
448 its own file.
449
450 * Moose::Meta::Role
451 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
452 its own file.
453
43123819 454 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
455 - changed how we do type checks so that
7623f774 456 we reduce the overall cost, but still
457 retain correctness.
946289d1 458 *** API CHANGE ***
459 - moved accessor generation methods to
460 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
461 conform to the API changes from
462 Class::MOP 0.36
43123819 463
464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
465 - changed how constraints are compiled
466 so that we do less recursion and more
467 iteration. This makes the type check
468 faster :)
946289d1 469 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
470 into its own file
471
472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
473 - created this from methods formerly found in
474 Moose::Meta::Attribute
475
476 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
477 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
478
479 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
480 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
481
482 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
483 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
37ee30c9 484
3ec7b7a3 4850.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
4fd69d6c 486
487 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
488 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
489 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
490 - added tests for this
3ec7b7a3 491 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
492 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
493 broke predicates in an ugly way.
494 - removed tests for this
4fd69d6c 495
c0c41f76 4960.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
093b12c2 497 ++ NOTE ++
498 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
499 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
500 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
501
3c2bc5e2 502 * Moose
503 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
093b12c2 504 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
505 (thanks Adam Kennedy)

3f7376b0 515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
0a5bd159 516 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3f7376b0 517 - added tests for this
518
519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
520 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
521 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
94b8bbb8 522 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
523 as well.
524 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
525 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)

b805c70c 527 * Moose::Meta::Role
528 - added basic support for runtime role composition
0a5bd159 529 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
530 is much appreciated :)
b805c70c 531 - added tests for this
e95c7c42 532
0a5bd159 533 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
534 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
535 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
536 of unions
537
538 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
539 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
540 on a type union
541 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
542
e95c7c42 543 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
544 - properly capturing error when type constraint
545 is not found
546

0558683c 561
562 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
68efb014 563 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
564 just sugar, and they may not stay around.

566 * Moose::Object
68efb014 567 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
568 an object
b26e162e 569

572 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
f008ac1f 573
68efb014 574 * Moose::Meta::Role
575 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
576 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
577 - fixed tests to reflect this change
578
8c835eba 5790.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
31f8ec72 580 * Moose
581 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords

583 bottom of your class file.
31f8ec72 584
585 * t/
586 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
587 dependency.

592 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2b14ac61 593 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
594 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
595
596 NOTE:
597 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
598 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
599 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

72c4f6d1 6350.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
636 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
637 - This release works in combination with
638 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
639 release because it uses the a new
640 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
641 complete Role implementation. It has
642 not yet been optimized, so it slower
643 the the previous CPAN version. This
644 release also lacks good updated docs,
645 the official release will have updated docs.
646
98aae381 647 * Moose

670 - many new tests for conflict detection
671 and composition edge cases
672 - not enough documentation, I suggest
673 looking at the tests
674
