57
58 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
59 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that

93cc8330 64
6d20aa6d 650.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
66 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
67 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
68 in this release, except the fact that it includes
69 the changes that I didn't include in the last
70 release. (stevan--)

105 something (sartak)
106
db9476b1 107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
108 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
109 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
110 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
111 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
112 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
113 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
6164d955 114 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
db9476b1 115 - added tests for this
0db4f1d7 116
93e98578 117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
118 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
119 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
120 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
6164d955 121 dew. (Dave Rolsky)

1b2aea39 226 * Moose
227 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.56, all
228 XS based functionality is now optional

231 can now be used to force non-XS versions
232 to always be used
233 - several of the packages have been tweaked
234 to take care of this, mostly we added
235 support for the package_name and name
236 variables in all the Method metaclasses
408f2665 237 - before/around/after method modifiers now
238 support regexp matching of names

243 but, ... patches welcome
b8926b8c 244 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced

250 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
251 the stack trace is usually not helpful

254 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
255 - added test for this
256
0b7df53c 257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
258 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
259 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
260 constructor
261

263 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
264 Class::MOP 0.56

3a0c064a 302
303 * Moose::Object
304 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
305 ->body when looping through the
306 methods, to avoid the overloaded
307 method call.
ca0e380d 308 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
309 eating the $@ values, and so not
310 working correctly, it still kind of
311 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
312 - added tests for this
3a0c064a 313

334 drink more coffee before
335 doing release engineering
336
337 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
338 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
339 modules. This fixes that.
340

342 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
343 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

8d62bf6d 453 * Moose
454 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
455 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
456 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
457 officially support it.

459 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

80d955e4 496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
498 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
f4f3e701 499 it ever did this originally, this means we now
500 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
501 objects
502 - added more delegation tests
587e457d 503 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
504 support traits and their introspection.

607 cleanup of the role system
9b28d20b 608 - 100% backwards compat.
609 - Role application now restructured into seperate
610 classes based on type of applicants
611 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
ccf49e80 612 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
9b28d20b 613 used in this process
ccf49e80 614 - new Composite role metaclass
9b28d20b 615 - runtime application of roles to instances
616 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
617 classes when applicable

8de73ff1 692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
693 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
694 they should inherit the parent's coercion
695 - added tests for this
4734114b 696 - you can now define multiple coercions on
41e007e4 697 a single type at different times instead of

699 - added tests for this
4734114b 700
8de73ff1 701 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

f3c4e20e 714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
4734114b 715 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

717 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
718 - added tests for this.
719 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
720 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
4734114b 721 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.

77a18c28 807 * Parameterized Types
4734114b 808 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
77a18c28 809 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
810 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
811 They can also be nested:
812 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
813 And work with the type unions as well:
814 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
4734114b 815
77a18c28 816 * Better Framework Extendability
4734114b 817 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
818 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
77a18c28 819 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
820 section of the Moose.pm docs.
4734114b 821
77a18c28 822 * Moose Snacks!
4734114b 823 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
824 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
825 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
77a18c28 826 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

977 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
cbe25729 978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
4734114b 979 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
cbe25729 980 the other side (perigrin)

db53853c 9820.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3969267d 983 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
4734114b 984 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
db53853c 985 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
986 prototypes for functions
4734114b 987 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
988 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
9af1d28b 989 - added tests and docs for this
4734114b 990 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
86629f93 991 default for where be { 1 }
4734114b 992 - added test for this
3969267d 993
d7611a4a 994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
4734114b 995 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
d7611a4a 996 merlyn for finding this bug
997 - tests added for this
df492bba 998 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
d7611a4a 999
86629f93 1000 * Moose::Object
1001 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
4734114b 1002 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
86629f93 1003 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1004 - added tests for this
1005
74a0a945 10060.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
52c7c330 1007 * Moose
1008 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
1009 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
1010 - altered unimport tests to handle this
1011
1012 * Moose::Role
1013 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
1014
1015 * Moose::Meta::Class
1016 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
1017 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
1018
492d4d76 1019 * Moose::Meta::Role
1020 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
1021 where not handled correctly in roles
1022 - added tests for this
4734114b 1023
5cb193ed 1024 * Moose::Meta::Class
4734114b 1025 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
5cb193ed 1026 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1027 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
4734114b 1028
1029 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
0305961b 1030 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

1034 so this release is just to fix that.
1035
93c435b3 1036 * Moose
1037 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1038 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1039 (thanks to konobi for this)
4734114b 1040 - added tests and docs

c1935ade 1050 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
943596a6 1051 functions to facilitate introspection.
4734114b 1052
d022f632 1053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
4734114b 1054 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
d022f632 1055 to build the list of delegated methods
4734114b 1056 correctly (and not override important
1057 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
ddbdc0cb 1058 for finding this
1059 - added tests and docs for this
c1935ade 1060 - added the 'documentation' attributes
4734114b 1061 so that you can actually document your
1062 attributes and inspect them through the
ddbdc0cb 1063 meta-object.
d022f632 1064 - added tests and docs for this
1065
c1935ade 1066 * Moose::Meta::Class
1067 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
4734114b 1068 it will first look in for the class in the
1069 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
c1935ade 1070 then default to just loading $name.
1071 - added tests and docs for this
1072
900466d6 1073 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1074 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1075 - added test for this
1076
d022f632 1077 * misc.
4734114b 1078 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1079 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
ddbdc0cb 1080 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1081 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
c899258b 1082
af5199c6 10830.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1084 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
ddbdc0cb 1085
1086 * misc.
4734114b 1087 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1088 load all classes.
1089 - added tests to show types and subtypes
ddbdc0cb 1090 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1091 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.

1095 !! for this developer release to work !!
1096
734d1752 1097 This release was primarily adding the immutable
4734114b 1098 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1099 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1100 as immutable it will perform various bits of
734d1752 1101 memoization and inline certain part of the code
4734114b 1102 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
734d1752 1103 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
4734114b 1104 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
734d1752 1105 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
4734114b 1106 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
734d1752 1107 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
4734114b 1108
1109 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1110 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1111 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1112 truely interested in what was changed, please do
734d1752 1113 a diff :)
587ae0d2 1114
11150.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
4734114b 1117 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
587ae0d2 1118 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1119 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1120
11210.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1122 ++ NOTE ++
4734114b 1123 There are some speed improvements in this release,
587ae0d2 1124 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
4734114b 1125
587ae0d2 1126 * Moose::Object
4734114b 1127 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
587ae0d2 1128 called unless they actually need to be.
1129 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
4734114b 1130 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
587ae0d2 1131 DEMOLISH method present.
4734114b 1132
587ae0d2 1133 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1134 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
4734114b 1135 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
587ae0d2 1136 type constraint, which allows for a
4734114b 1137 hand optimized version of the type
587ae0d2 1138 constraint to be used when possible.
1139 - Any internally created type constraints
1140 now provide an optimized version as well.
1141
ecb59493 11420.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
946289d1 1143 ++ NOTE ++
4734114b 1144 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1145 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
946289d1 1146 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
571dd39f 1147
1148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
4734114b 1149 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1150 your class namespace of these exported
571dd39f 1151 keywords
4734114b 1152
37ee30c9 1153 * Moose::Meta::Class
4734114b 1154 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1155 comes up during global destruction
37ee30c9 1156 (thanks omega)
4734114b 1157 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
946289d1 1158 its own file.
4734114b 1159
1160 * Moose::Meta::Role
1161 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
946289d1 1162 its own file.
4734114b 1163
43123819 1164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
4734114b 1165 - changed how we do type checks so that
1166 we reduce the overall cost, but still
7623f774 1167 retain correctness.
946289d1 1168 *** API CHANGE ***
4734114b 1169 - moved accessor generation methods to
1170 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1171 conform to the API changes from
946289d1 1172 Class::MOP 0.36
4734114b 1173
43123819 1174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1175 - changed how constraints are compiled
1176 so that we do less recursion and more
4734114b 1177 iteration. This makes the type check
43123819 1178 faster :)
946289d1 1179 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1180 into its own file
4734114b 1181
946289d1 1182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
4734114b 1183 - created this from methods formerly found in
946289d1 1184 Moose::Meta::Attribute
4734114b 1185
946289d1 1186 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1187 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
4734114b 1188
946289d1 1189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1190 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
4734114b 1191
946289d1 1192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1193 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

4fd69d6c 1196
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
4734114b 1198 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
4fd69d6c 1199 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1200 - added tests for this
4734114b 1201 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1202 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3ec7b7a3 1203 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1204 - removed tests for this
4fd69d6c 1205
c0c41f76 12060.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
093b12c2 1207 ++ NOTE ++
4734114b 1208 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1209 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
093b12c2 1210 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1211
3c2bc5e2 1212 * Moose
1213 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
4734114b 1214 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
093b12c2 1215 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 1216
2a0f3bd3 1217 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
4734114b 1218 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2a0f3bd3 1219 comments for more info.
1220
e95c7c42 1221 * Moose::Cookbook
4734114b 1222 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
e95c7c42 1223 asked questions and common problems
4734114b 1224
3f7376b0 1225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
0a5bd159 1226 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3f7376b0 1227 - added tests for this
4734114b 1228
3f7376b0 1229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1230 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1231 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
4734114b 1232 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
94b8bbb8 1233 as well.
1234 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1235 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
4734114b 1236
b805c70c 1237 * Moose::Meta::Role
1238 - added basic support for runtime role composition
4734114b 1239 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
0a5bd159 1240 is much appreciated :)
b805c70c 1241 - added tests for this
e95c7c42 1242
0a5bd159 1243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1244 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
4734114b 1245 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
0a5bd159 1246 of unions
4734114b 1247
0a5bd159 1248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
4734114b 1249 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
0a5bd159 1250 on a type union
1251 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1252
e95c7c42 1253 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
4734114b 1254 - properly capturing error when type constraint
e95c7c42 1255 is not found
1256
3c2bc5e2 1257 * Build.PL
1258 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1259 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
4734114b 1260 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 1261
40e89659 12620.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2bdd01cd 1263 * Moose::Cookbook
1264 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
4734114b 1265
2bdd01cd 1266 * Moose
4734114b 1267 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1268 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3279ab4a 1269 keywords because we need to localize them.
68efb014 1270 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
4734114b 1271
0558683c 1272 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
4734114b 1273 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
68efb014 1274 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
4734114b 1275
f742dfef 1276 * Moose::Object
4734114b 1277 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
68efb014 1278 an object
4734114b 1279
b26e162e 1280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1281 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1282 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
f008ac1f 1283
68efb014 1284 * Moose::Meta::Role
1285 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
4734114b 1286 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
68efb014 1287 - fixed tests to reflect this change
4734114b 1288
8c835eba 12890.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
31f8ec72 1290 * Moose
1291 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
4734114b 1292 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1293 bottom of your class file.
1294
31f8ec72 1295 * t/
4734114b 1296 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
31f8ec72 1297 dependency.
1298
864cd714 12990.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
01a8e221 1300 * Moose
1301 - improved error message when loading modules so
1302 it is less confusing when you load a role.
4734114b 1303 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2b14ac61 1304 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
4734114b 1305
2b14ac61 1306 NOTE:
1307 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
4734114b 1308 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2b14ac61 1309 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

715ea0b7 1312 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
4276ccb4 1313 * Moose
1314 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
4734114b 1315 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
4276ccb4 1316 turn them on for you.
1317 - added tests for this
1341f10c 1318 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1319 in Moose::Meta::Class
4734114b 1320
4276ccb4 1321 * Moose::Role
4734114b 1322 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
4276ccb4 1323 automatically turned on for you.
4734114b 1324 - added tests for this
1325
e39d707f 1326 * Moose::Meta::Role
1327 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1328 - added tests for this
b7f2d25b 1329 - added some more edge case tests
1341f10c 1330

72c4f6d1 13450.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1346 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
4734114b 1347 - This release works in combination with
1348 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1349 release because it uses the a new
72c4f6d1 1350 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
4734114b 1351 complete Role implementation. It has
72c4f6d1 1352 not yet been optimized, so it slower
4734114b 1353 the the previous CPAN version. This
1354 release also lacks good updated docs,
72c4f6d1 1355 the official release will have updated docs.
1356
4734114b 1357 * Moose
98aae381 1358 - refactored the keyword exports
4734114b 1359 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
db1ab48d 1360 accepts more than one Role at a time
4734114b 1361 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
98aae381 1362 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
4734114b 1363
72c4f6d1 1364 * Moose::Role
1365 - refactored the keyword exports
4734114b 1366 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
72c4f6d1 1367 accepts more than one Role at a time
4734114b 1368
98aae381 1369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
4734114b 1370 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1371 string enumerations which can be used as
98aae381 1372 type constraints
db1ab48d 1373 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
4734114b 1374
98aae381 1375 * Moose::Object
1376 - more careful checking of params to new()
4734114b 1377
72c4f6d1 1378 * Moose::Meta::Role
1379 - much work done on the role composition
4734114b 1380 - many new tests for conflict detection
72c4f6d1 1381 and composition edge cases
4734114b 1382 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1383 looking at the tests
1384
98aae381 1385 * Moose::Meta::Instance
4734114b 1386 - added new Instance metaclass to support
98aae381 1387 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
4734114b 1388
98aae381 1389 * Moose::Meta::Class
4734114b 1390 - some small changes to support the new
98aae381 1391 instance protocol

2d562421 1405 * Moose
1406 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1407 thanks to chansen for this commit
4734114b 1408 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1409 to support custom attribute meta-classes

daea75c9 1412 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
4734114b 1413 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
daea75c9 1414 experimental feature and probably not finished
