29 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
30 - added tests for this
5af6a16d 31
3796382a 32 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
33 - fixed the type notation parser so that
34 the | always creates a union and so is
35 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
36 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
37 this one out.)
38 - added more tests for this

77a18c28 400.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
41 == New Features ==
42
43 * Parameterized Types
44 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
45 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
46 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
47 They can also be nested:
48 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
49 And work with the type unions as well:
50 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
51
52 * Better Framework Extendability
53 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
54 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
55 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
56 section of the Moose.pm docs.
57
58 * Moose Snacks!
59 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
60 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
61 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
62 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

100
3726f905 101 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
102 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as

216 the other side (perigrin)
ac2dc464 217
db53853c 2180.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3969267d 219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
db53853c 220 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
221 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
222 prototypes for functions
9af1d28b 223 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings

86629f93 236 * Moose::Object
237 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
238 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
239 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
240 - added tests for this
241
74a0a945 2420.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007

290 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
291 to build the list of delegated methods
292 correctly (and not override important
ddbdc0cb 293 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
294 for finding this
295 - added tests and docs for this
c1935ade 296 - added the 'documentation' attributes
ddbdc0cb 297 so that you can actually document your
298 attributes and inspect them through the
299 meta-object.
d022f632 300 - added tests and docs for this
301
c1935ade 302 * Moose::Meta::Class
303 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
304 it will first look in for the class in the
305 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
306 then default to just loading $name.
307 - added tests and docs for this
308

b77fdbed 328
587ae0d2 3290.18_001
d01f1dab 330 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
331 !! for this developer release to work !!
332
734d1752 333 This release was primarily adding the immutable
334 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
335 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
336 as immutable it will perform various bits of
337 memoization and inline certain part of the code
338 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
339 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
340 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
341 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
342 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
343 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
344
345 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
346 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
347 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
348 truely interested in what was changed, please do
349 a diff :)
587ae0d2 350
3510.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
353 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
354 are have a type constraint and lazy.
355 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
356
3570.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
358 ++ NOTE ++
359 There are some speed improvements in this release,
360 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
361
362 * Moose::Object
363 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
364 called unless they actually need to be.
365 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
366 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
367 DEMOLISH method present.
368
369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
370 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
371 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
372 type constraint, which allows for a
373 hand optimized version of the type
374 constraint to be used when possible.
375 - Any internally created type constraints
376 now provide an optimized version as well.
377
ecb59493 3780.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
946289d1 379 ++ NOTE ++
380 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
381 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
382 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
571dd39f 383
384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
385 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
386 your class namespace of these exported
387 keywords
388
37ee30c9 389 * Moose::Meta::Class
390 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
391 comes up during global destruction
392 (thanks omega)
946289d1 393 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
394 its own file.
395
396 * Moose::Meta::Role
397 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
398 its own file.
399
43123819 400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
401 - changed how we do type checks so that
7623f774 402 we reduce the overall cost, but still
403 retain correctness.
946289d1 404 *** API CHANGE ***
405 - moved accessor generation methods to
406 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
407 conform to the API changes from
408 Class::MOP 0.36
43123819 409
410 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
411 - changed how constraints are compiled
412 so that we do less recursion and more
413 iteration. This makes the type check
414 faster :)
946289d1 415 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
416 into its own file
417
418 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
419 - created this from methods formerly found in
420 Moose::Meta::Attribute
421
422 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
423 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
424
425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
426 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
427
428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
429 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
37ee30c9 430
3ec7b7a3 4310.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
4fd69d6c 432
433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
434 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
435 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
436 - added tests for this
3ec7b7a3 437 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
438 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
439 broke predicates in an ugly way.
440 - removed tests for this
4fd69d6c 441
c0c41f76 4420.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
093b12c2 443 ++ NOTE ++
444 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
445 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
446 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
447
3c2bc5e2 448 * Moose
449 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
093b12c2 450 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
451 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 452
2a0f3bd3 453 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
454 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
455 comments for more info.
456

459 asked questions and common problems
b805c70c 460
3f7376b0 461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
0a5bd159 462 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3f7376b0 463 - added tests for this
464
465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
466 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
467 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
94b8bbb8 468 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
469 as well.
470 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
471 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3f7376b0 472
b805c70c 473 * Moose::Meta::Role
474 - added basic support for runtime role composition
0a5bd159 475 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
476 is much appreciated :)
b805c70c 477 - added tests for this
e95c7c42 478
0a5bd159 479 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
480 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
481 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
482 of unions
483
484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
485 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
486 on a type union
487 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
488
e95c7c42 489 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
490 - properly capturing error when type constraint
491 is not found
492
3c2bc5e2 493 * Build.PL
494 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
495 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
093b12c2 496 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3c2bc5e2 497
40e89659 4980.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2bdd01cd 499 * Moose::Cookbook
500 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
501
502 * Moose
3279ab4a 503 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
504 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
505 keywords because we need to localize them.
68efb014 506 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
0558683c 507
508 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
68efb014 509 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
510 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
f742dfef 511
512 * Moose::Object
68efb014 513 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
514 an object
b26e162e 515
516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
517 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
518 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
f008ac1f 519
68efb014 520 * Moose::Meta::Role
521 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
522 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
523 - fixed tests to reflect this change

31f8ec72 526 * Moose
527 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
8c835eba 528 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
529 bottom of your class file.

532 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
533 dependency.

537 - improved error message when loading modules so
538 it is less confusing when you load a role.

541
542 NOTE:
543 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
544 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
545 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

72c4f6d1 5810.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
582 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
583 - This release works in combination with
584 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
585 release because it uses the a new
586 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
587 complete Role implementation. It has
588 not yet been optimized, so it slower
589 the the previous CPAN version. This
590 release also lacks good updated docs,
591 the official release will have updated docs.
592
98aae381 593 * Moose
594 - refactored the keyword exports
db1ab48d 595 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
596 accepts more than one Role at a time

598 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
599
72c4f6d1 600 * Moose::Role
601 - refactored the keyword exports
602 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
603 accepts more than one Role at a time

611 * Moose::Object
612 - more careful checking of params to new()
613
72c4f6d1 614 * Moose::Meta::Role
615 - much work done on the role composition
616 - many new tests for conflict detection
617 and composition edge cases
618 - not enough documentation, I suggest
619 looking at the tests
620
98aae381 621 * Moose::Meta::Instance
