Revision history for Perl extension Moose

0.14

    * Moose::Meta::Attribute
      - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting 
        checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
        - added 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.
         - added tests for this
      - 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        
        
    * Moose::Meta::Role
      - now handles an edge case for override errors
        - added tests for this
      - added some more edge case tests

0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
    ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
    * Moose
      - added prototypes to the exported subs
      - updated docs
      
    * Moose::Role
      - added prototypes to the exported subs      
      - updated docs
      
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - 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
      - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

        to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice 
        on this
        - added some tests for this
      - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

        should DWIM in 99.9999% of all cases
        
    * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
      - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were 
        being reported
        - added test for this
        
    * Moose::Object

    * Moose
      - fixed an issue with &extends super class loading

      - many more tests, fixing some bugs and  
        edge cases

        and register a subtype of Object which 
        correspond to the new Moose class.      
      - the 'isa' option in &has now only 
        accepts strings, and will DWIM in
