55 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
56 - added tests for this
5af6a16d 57
3796382a 58 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
59 - fixed the type notation parser so that
60 the | always creates a union and so is
61 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
62 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
63 this one out.)
64 - added more tests for this
65
77a18c28 660.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
67 == New Features ==
68
69 * Parameterized Types
70 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
71 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
72 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
73 They can also be nested:
74 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
75 And work with the type unions as well:
76 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
77
78 * Better Framework Extendability
79 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
80 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
81 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
82 section of the Moose.pm docs.
83
84 * Moose Snacks!
85 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
86 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
87 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
88 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3969267d 245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
db53853c 246 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
247 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
248 prototypes for functions

267
74a0a945 2680.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007

316 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
317 to build the list of delegated methods
318 correctly (and not override important
ddbdc0cb 319 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
320 for finding this
321 - added tests and docs for this
c1935ade 322 - added the 'documentation' attributes
ddbdc0cb 323 so that you can actually document your
324 attributes and inspect them through the
325 meta-object.
d022f632 326 - added tests and docs for this
327
c1935ade 328 * Moose::Meta::Class
329 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

350 load all classes.
351 - added tests to show types and subtypes
352 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
353 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
b77fdbed 354
587ae0d2 3550.18_001
d01f1dab 356 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
357 !! for this developer release to work !!
358
734d1752 359 This release was primarily adding the immutable
360 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
361 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
362 as immutable it will perform various bits of
363 memoization and inline certain part of the code
364 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
365 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
366 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
367 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
368 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
369 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
370
371 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
372 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
373 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
374 truely interested in what was changed, please do
375 a diff :)
587ae0d2 376
3770.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
379 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
380 are have a type constraint and lazy.
381 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
382
3830.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
384 ++ NOTE ++
385 There are some speed improvements in this release,
386 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
387
388 * Moose::Object
389 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
390 called unless they actually need to be.
391 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
392 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
393 DEMOLISH method present.
394
395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
396 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
397 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
398 type constraint, which allows for a
399 hand optimized version of the type
400 constraint to be used when possible.
401 - Any internally created type constraints
402 now provide an optimized version as well.
403
ecb59493 4040.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
946289d1 405 ++ NOTE ++
406 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
407 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
408 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
571dd39f 409
410 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
411 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
412 your class namespace of these exported
413 keywords
414
37ee30c9 415 * Moose::Meta::Class
416 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
417 comes up during global destruction
418 (thanks omega)
946289d1 419 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
420 its own file.
421
422 * Moose::Meta::Role
423 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
424 its own file.
425
43123819 426 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
427 - changed how we do type checks so that
7623f774 428 we reduce the overall cost, but still
429 retain correctness.
946289d1 430 *** API CHANGE ***
431 - moved accessor generation methods to
432 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
433 conform to the API changes from
434 Class::MOP 0.36
43123819 435
436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
437 - changed how constraints are compiled
438 so that we do less recursion and more
439 iteration. This makes the type check
440 faster :)
946289d1 441 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
442 into its own file
443
444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
445 - created this from methods formerly found in
446 Moose::Meta::Attribute
447
448 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
449 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
450
451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
452 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
453
454 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
455 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
37ee30c9 456
3ec7b7a3 4570.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
4fd69d6c 458
459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
460 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
461 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
462 - added tests for this
3ec7b7a3 463 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
464 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
465 broke predicates in an ugly way.
466 - removed tests for this
4fd69d6c 467
c0c41f76 4680.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
093b12c2 469 ++ NOTE ++
470 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
471 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
472 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
473
3c2bc5e2 474 * Moose
475 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
093b12c2 476 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
477 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 478
2a0f3bd3 479 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
480 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
481 comments for more info.
482
e95c7c42 483 * Moose::Cookbook
484 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
485 asked questions and common problems
b805c70c 486
3f7376b0 487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
0a5bd159 488 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3f7376b0 489 - added tests for this
490
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
492 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
493 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
94b8bbb8 494 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
495 as well.
496 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
497 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3f7376b0 498
b805c70c 499 * Moose::Meta::Role
500 - added basic support for runtime role composition
0a5bd159 501 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
502 is much appreciated :)
b805c70c 503 - added tests for this
e95c7c42 504
0a5bd159 505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
506 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
507 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
508 of unions
509
510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
511 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
512 on a type union
513 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
514
e95c7c42 515 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
516 - properly capturing error when type constraint
517 is not found
518
3c2bc5e2 519 * Build.PL
520 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
521 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.

2bdd01cd 525 * Moose::Cookbook
526 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
527
528 * Moose
3279ab4a 529 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
530 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
531 keywords because we need to localize them.
68efb014 532 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
0558683c 533
534 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
68efb014 535 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
536 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
f742dfef 537
538 * Moose::Object
68efb014 539 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
540 an object
b26e162e 541
542 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

544 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
f008ac1f 545
68efb014 546 * Moose::Meta::Role
547 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
548 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
549 - fixed tests to reflect this change
550
8c835eba 5510.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
31f8ec72 552 * Moose
553 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
8c835eba 554 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
555 bottom of your class file.
31f8ec72 556
557 * t/
558 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
559 dependency.
560
864cd714 5610.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
01a8e221 562 * Moose
563 - improved error message when loading modules so
564 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2b14ac61 565 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
566 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
567
568 NOTE:
569 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
570 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
571 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

72c4f6d1 6070.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
608 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
609 - This release works in combination with
610 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
611 release because it uses the a new
612 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
613 complete Role implementation. It has
614 not yet been optimized, so it slower
615 the the previous CPAN version. This
616 release also lacks good updated docs,
617 the official release will have updated docs.
618
98aae381 619 * Moose
620 - refactored the keyword exports
db1ab48d 621 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
622 accepts more than one Role at a time

624 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
625
72c4f6d1 626 * Moose::Role
627 - refactored the keyword exports
628 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
629 accepts more than one Role at a time
630

98aae381 636
637 * Moose::Object
638 - more careful checking of params to new()
639
72c4f6d1 640 * Moose::Meta::Role
641 - much work done on the role composition
642 - many new tests for conflict detection
643 and composition edge cases
644 - not enough documentation, I suggest
645 looking at the tests
646
98aae381 647 * Moose::Meta::Instance
648 - added new Instance metaclass to support
649 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
