e7f8d0c2 36
37 * Moose::Meta::Role

5af6a16d 42
3796382a 43 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
44 - fixed the type notation parser so that

77a18c28 510.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
52 == New Features ==
53
54 * Parameterized Types
55 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
56 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
57 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
58 They can also be nested:
59 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
60 And work with the type unions as well:
61 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
62
63 * Better Framework Extendability
64 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
65 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
66 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
67 section of the Moose.pm docs.
68
69 * Moose Snacks!
70 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
71 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
72 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
73 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

227 the other side (perigrin)
ac2dc464 228
db53853c 2290.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3969267d 230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
db53853c 231 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
232 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
233 prototypes for functions

252
74a0a945 2530.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007

301 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
302 to build the list of delegated methods
303 correctly (and not override important
ddbdc0cb 304 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
305 for finding this
306 - added tests and docs for this
c1935ade 307 - added the 'documentation' attributes
ddbdc0cb 308 so that you can actually document your
309 attributes and inspect them through the
310 meta-object.
d022f632 311 - added tests and docs for this
312
c1935ade 313 * Moose::Meta::Class
314 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
315 it will first look in for the class in the

b77fdbed 339
587ae0d2 3400.18_001
d01f1dab 341 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
342 !! for this developer release to work !!
343
734d1752 344 This release was primarily adding the immutable
345 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
346 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
347 as immutable it will perform various bits of
348 memoization and inline certain part of the code
349 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
350 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
351 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
352 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
353 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
354 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
355
356 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
357 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
358 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
359 truely interested in what was changed, please do
360 a diff :)
587ae0d2 361
3620.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
364 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
365 are have a type constraint and lazy.
366 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
367
3680.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
369 ++ NOTE ++
370 There are some speed improvements in this release,
371 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
372
373 * Moose::Object
374 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
375 called unless they actually need to be.
376 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
377 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
378 DEMOLISH method present.
379
380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
382 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
383 type constraint, which allows for a
384 hand optimized version of the type
385 constraint to be used when possible.
386 - Any internally created type constraints
387 now provide an optimized version as well.
388
ecb59493 3890.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
946289d1 390 ++ NOTE ++
391 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
392 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
393 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
571dd39f 394
395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
396 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
397 your class namespace of these exported
398 keywords
399
37ee30c9 400 * Moose::Meta::Class
401 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
402 comes up during global destruction
403 (thanks omega)
946289d1 404 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
405 its own file.
406
407 * Moose::Meta::Role
408 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
409 its own file.
410
43123819 411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
412 - changed how we do type checks so that
7623f774 413 we reduce the overall cost, but still
414 retain correctness.
946289d1 415 *** API CHANGE ***
416 - moved accessor generation methods to
417 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
418 conform to the API changes from
419 Class::MOP 0.36
43123819 420
421 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
422 - changed how constraints are compiled
423 so that we do less recursion and more
424 iteration. This makes the type check
425 faster :)
946289d1 426 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
427 into its own file
428
429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
430 - created this from methods formerly found in
431 Moose::Meta::Attribute
432
433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
434 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
435
436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
437 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
438
439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
440 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
37ee30c9 441
3ec7b7a3 4420.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
4fd69d6c 443
444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
445 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
446 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
447 - added tests for this
3ec7b7a3 448 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
449 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
450 broke predicates in an ugly way.
451 - removed tests for this
4fd69d6c 452
c0c41f76 4530.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
093b12c2 454 ++ NOTE ++
455 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
456 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
457 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
458
3c2bc5e2 459 * Moose
460 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
093b12c2 461 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
462 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 463
2a0f3bd3 464 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
465 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
466 comments for more info.

3f7376b0 472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
0a5bd159 473 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3f7376b0 474 - added tests for this
475
476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
477 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
478 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
94b8bbb8 479 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
480 as well.
481 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
482 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3f7376b0 483
b805c70c 484 * Moose::Meta::Role
485 - added basic support for runtime role composition
0a5bd159 486 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
487 is much appreciated :)
b805c70c 488 - added tests for this
e95c7c42 489
0a5bd159 490 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
491 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
492 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
493 of unions
494
495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
496 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
497 on a type union
498 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
499
e95c7c42 500 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
501 - properly capturing error when type constraint
502 is not found
503
3c2bc5e2 504 * Build.PL
505 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
506 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
093b12c2 507 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 508
40e89659 5090.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2bdd01cd 510 * Moose::Cookbook
511 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
512
513 * Moose
3279ab4a 514 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
515 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
516 keywords because we need to localize them.
68efb014 517 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
0558683c 518
519 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
68efb014 520 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
521 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
f742dfef 522

555 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
556 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

72c4f6d1 5920.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
593 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
594 - This release works in combination with
595 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
596 release because it uses the a new
597 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
598 complete Role implementation. It has
599 not yet been optimized, so it slower
600 the the previous CPAN version. This
601 release also lacks good updated docs,
602 the official release will have updated docs.
603
98aae381 604 * Moose
605 - refactored the keyword exports

609 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
610
72c4f6d1 611 * Moose::Role
612 - refactored the keyword exports
613 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
614 accepts more than one Role at a time

622 * Moose::Object
623 - more careful checking of params to new()
624
72c4f6d1 625 * Moose::Meta::Role
626 - much work done on the role composition
627 - many new tests for conflict detection
628 and composition edge cases
629 - not enough documentation, I suggest
630 looking at the tests
631
98aae381 632 * Moose::Meta::Instance
