28669f89 20 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
e7f8d0c2 21
22 * Moose::Meta::Role
23 - fixed how required methods are handled
24 when they encounter overriden or modified
25 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
26 - added tests for this
5af6a16d 27
3796382a 28 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
29 - fixed the type notation parser so that
30 the | always creates a union and so is
31 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
32 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
33 this one out.)
34 - added more tests for this
35
77a18c28 360.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
37 == New Features ==
38
39 * Parameterized Types
40 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
41 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
42 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
43 They can also be nested:
44 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
45 And work with the type unions as well:
46 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
47
48 * Better Framework Extendability
49 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
50 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
51 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
52 section of the Moose.pm docs.
53
54 * Moose Snacks!
55 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
56 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
57 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
58 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

212 the other side (perigrin)
ac2dc464 213
db53853c 2140.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3969267d 215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
db53853c 216 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
217 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
218 prototypes for functions
9af1d28b 219 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings

86629f93 232 * Moose::Object
233 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
234 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
235 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
236 - added tests for this
237
74a0a945 2380.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007

286 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
287 to build the list of delegated methods
288 correctly (and not override important
ddbdc0cb 289 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
290 for finding this
291 - added tests and docs for this
c1935ade 292 - added the 'documentation' attributes
ddbdc0cb 293 so that you can actually document your
294 attributes and inspect them through the
295 meta-object.
d022f632 296 - added tests and docs for this
297
c1935ade 298 * Moose::Meta::Class
299 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
300 it will first look in for the class in the

323 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
b77fdbed 324
587ae0d2 3250.18_001
d01f1dab 326 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
327 !! for this developer release to work !!
328
734d1752 329 This release was primarily adding the immutable
330 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
331 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
332 as immutable it will perform various bits of
333 memoization and inline certain part of the code
334 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
335 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
336 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
337 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
338 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
339 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
340
341 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
342 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
343 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
344 truely interested in what was changed, please do
345 a diff :)
587ae0d2 346
3470.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
349 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
350 are have a type constraint and lazy.
351 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
352
3530.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
354 ++ NOTE ++
355 There are some speed improvements in this release,
356 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
357
358 * Moose::Object
359 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
360 called unless they actually need to be.
361 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
362 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
363 DEMOLISH method present.
364
365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
366 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
367 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
368 type constraint, which allows for a
369 hand optimized version of the type
370 constraint to be used when possible.
371 - Any internally created type constraints
372 now provide an optimized version as well.
373
ecb59493 3740.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
946289d1 375 ++ NOTE ++
376 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
377 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
378 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
571dd39f 379
380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
381 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
382 your class namespace of these exported
383 keywords
384
37ee30c9 385 * Moose::Meta::Class
386 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
387 comes up during global destruction
388 (thanks omega)
946289d1 389 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
390 its own file.
391
392 * Moose::Meta::Role
393 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
394 its own file.
395
43123819 396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
397 - changed how we do type checks so that
7623f774 398 we reduce the overall cost, but still
399 retain correctness.
946289d1 400 *** API CHANGE ***
401 - moved accessor generation methods to
402 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
403 conform to the API changes from
404 Class::MOP 0.36
43123819 405
406 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
407 - changed how constraints are compiled
408 so that we do less recursion and more
409 iteration. This makes the type check
410 faster :)
946289d1 411 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
412 into its own file
413
414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
415 - created this from methods formerly found in
416 Moose::Meta::Attribute
417
418 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
419 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
420
421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
422 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
423
424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
425 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
37ee30c9 426
3ec7b7a3 4270.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
4fd69d6c 428
429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
430 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
431 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
432 - added tests for this
3ec7b7a3 433 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
434 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
435 broke predicates in an ugly way.
436 - removed tests for this
4fd69d6c 437
c0c41f76 4380.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
093b12c2 439 ++ NOTE ++
440 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
441 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
442 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
443
3c2bc5e2 444 * Moose
445 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
093b12c2 446 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
447 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 448
2a0f3bd3 449 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
450 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
451 comments for more info.
452

455 asked questions and common problems
b805c70c 456
3f7376b0 457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
0a5bd159 458 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3f7376b0 459 - added tests for this
460
461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
462 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
463 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
94b8bbb8 464 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
465 as well.
466 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
467 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3f7376b0 468
b805c70c 469 * Moose::Meta::Role
470 - added basic support for runtime role composition
0a5bd159 471 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
472 is much appreciated :)
b805c70c 473 - added tests for this
e95c7c42 474
0a5bd159 475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
476 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
477 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
478 of unions
479
480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
481 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
482 on a type union
483 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
484
e95c7c42 485 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
486 - properly capturing error when type constraint
487 is not found
488
3c2bc5e2 489 * Build.PL
490 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
491 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
093b12c2 492 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 493
40e89659 4940.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2bdd01cd 495 * Moose::Cookbook
496 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
497
498 * Moose
3279ab4a 499 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
500 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
501 keywords because we need to localize them.
68efb014 502 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
0558683c 503
504 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
68efb014 505 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
506 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
f742dfef 507
508 * Moose::Object
68efb014 509 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
510 an object
b26e162e 511
512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
513 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
514 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
f008ac1f 515
68efb014 516 * Moose::Meta::Role
517 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
518 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
519 - fixed tests to reflect this change
520
8c835eba 5210.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
31f8ec72 522 * Moose
523 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords

01a8e221 532 * Moose
533 - improved error message when loading modules so
534 it is less confusing when you load a role.

537
538 NOTE:
539 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
540 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
541 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

72c4f6d1 5770.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
578 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
579 - This release works in combination with
580 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
581 release because it uses the a new
582 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
583 complete Role implementation. It has
584 not yet been optimized, so it slower
585 the the previous CPAN version. This
586 release also lacks good updated docs,
587 the official release will have updated docs.
588
98aae381 589 * Moose
590 - refactored the keyword exports
db1ab48d 591 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and

594 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
595
72c4f6d1 596 * Moose::Role
597 - refactored the keyword exports

612 - many new tests for conflict detection
613 and composition edge cases
614 - not enough documentation, I suggest
615 looking at the tests
