1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
5 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
6 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
7 same methods for a single role did not work
8 right (worked just fine with multiple
10 - added test for this (stevan)
11 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
12 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
13 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
15 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
16 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
17 - added test for this (t0m)
19 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
20 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
21 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
22 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
23 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
24 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
25 - added test for this (t0m)
27 - create method for constructing a role
29 - added test for this (Sartak)
30 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
31 - added test for this (Sartak)
33 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
34 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
35 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
36 methods is useful (Sartak)
38 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
39 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
40 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
44 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
45 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
46 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
47 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
48 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
49 - added tests for this (jdv79)
52 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
53 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
55 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
56 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
57 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
58 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
59 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
61 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
63 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
64 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
65 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
68 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
69 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
70 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
71 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
72 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
73 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
76 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
77 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
78 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
79 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
80 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
81 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
82 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
83 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
84 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
85 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
86 future. (jnapiorkowski)
88 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
89 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
92 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
93 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
94 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
96 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
98 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
100 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
101 predicate, and link to more details sections in
102 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
105 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
108 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
109 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
110 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
113 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
114 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
116 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
118 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
119 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
122 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
123 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
128 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
129 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
132 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
134 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
135 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
136 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
137 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
138 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
139 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
140 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
141 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
143 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
144 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
145 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
147 * Roles and role application
148 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
149 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
150 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
151 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
152 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
154 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
155 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
158 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
159 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
160 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
161 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
162 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
165 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
166 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
167 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
168 changes in the Moose internals.
170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
171 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
172 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
176 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
177 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
178 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
180 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
181 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
182 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
183 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
185 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
186 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
187 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
188 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
189 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
190 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
191 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
192 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
193 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
194 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
195 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
196 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
197 constraint implementations.
199 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
203 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
204 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
205 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
206 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
207 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
208 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
209 - added tests for this (rafl)
212 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
213 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
214 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
215 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
216 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
217 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
218 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
219 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
222 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
223 - added tests for this (thepler)
225 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
226 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
227 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
228 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
233 * Moose::Meta::Method
236 * Moose::Error::Default
237 * Moose::Error::Croak
238 * Moose::Error::Confess
239 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
240 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
241 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
242 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
243 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
244 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
246 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
248 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
249 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
252 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
253 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
254 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
256 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
257 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
258 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
259 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
260 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
263 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
264 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
266 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
267 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
268 several major changes in this release of Moose.
269 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
272 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
274 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
275 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
277 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
282 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
283 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
285 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
287 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
288 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
289 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
290 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
291 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
292 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
294 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
295 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
296 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
298 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
299 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
300 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
303 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
304 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
305 dependency to 0.64_07.
307 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
308 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
309 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
312 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
316 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
317 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
318 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
319 coincidental exception. (t0m).
320 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
323 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
325 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
327 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
328 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
332 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
333 method when that method was provided by another role being
334 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
335 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
337 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
339 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
340 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
342 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
343 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
344 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
345 - added test for this (t0m)
347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
348 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
349 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
351 - added test for this (t0m)
354 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
355 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
356 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
359 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
360 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
362 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
364 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
367 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
368 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
369 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
371 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
372 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
375 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
377 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
378 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
382 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
383 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
384 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
387 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
388 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
389 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
390 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
393 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
397 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
398 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
399 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
401 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
403 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
404 created so that the process can be more easily
405 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
408 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
409 the type constraints (RT #37569)
410 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
413 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
416 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
417 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
419 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
420 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
421 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
423 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
424 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
425 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
427 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
428 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
430 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
431 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
434 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
435 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
439 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
440 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
442 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
443 ... this is not my day today ...
445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
446 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
447 clone_and_inherit options still works for
448 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
449 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
452 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
453 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
454 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
455 in this release, except the fact that it includes
456 the changes that I didn't include in the last
459 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
461 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
462 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
463 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
464 this is not ever something you want to do
465 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
466 - added tests for this (stevan)
469 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
471 - added test for this
473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
474 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
475 - added tests for this (wreis)
477 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
478 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
479 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
480 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
482 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
483 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
484 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
487 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
489 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
491 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
494 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
495 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
496 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
497 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
498 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
499 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
500 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
501 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
502 - added tests for this
504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
505 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
506 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
507 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
509 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
512 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
513 - added tests for this (sartak)
514 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
515 install_delegation method (Stevan)
518 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
520 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
521 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
525 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
526 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
528 - Some null_constraint optimizations
530 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
531 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
534 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
535 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
536 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
539 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
540 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
542 - added docs for this (TODO).
543 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
544 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
545 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
546 - fix builder and default both being used
551 Moose::Meta::Attribute
553 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
554 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
555 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
559 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
563 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
564 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
565 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
568 - move the ClassName type check code to
569 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
571 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
572 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
574 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
575 (early morning release engineering)--
577 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
578 which was causing the indexer to choke
580 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
581 (late night release engineering)--
583 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
584 changes in this release
586 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
587 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
588 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
591 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
592 since it is called so often by &meta
596 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
597 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
600 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
601 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
602 method for immutablization to check if the
603 destructor object even needs to be created
606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
607 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
608 - added more descriptive error message to help
609 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
610 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
612 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
614 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
615 XS based functionality is now optional
616 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
617 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
618 can now be used to force non-XS versions
620 - several of the packages have been tweaked
621 to take care of this, mostly we added
622 support for the package_name and name
623 variables in all the Method metaclasses
624 - before/around/after method modifiers now
625 support regexp matching of names
626 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
627 - tests added for this
628 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
629 is currently not supported in roles,
630 but, ... patches welcome
631 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
632 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
633 the stack trace is usually not helpful
636 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
637 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
638 the stack trace is usually not helpful
639 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
640 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
641 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
642 - added test for this
644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
645 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
646 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
650 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
654 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
656 - added tests for this
657 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
658 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
661 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
662 themselves parameterizable types
664 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
665 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
666 called by the inlined immutable
668 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
670 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
671 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
672 (if possible) to create the anon-class
673 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
675 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
676 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
680 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
681 causing occasional cpantester failures
682 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
683 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
685 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
687 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
688 show where the error is (thanks mst)
691 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
692 ->body when looping through the
693 methods, to avoid the overloaded
695 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
696 eating the $@ values, and so not
697 working correctly, it still kind of
698 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
699 - added tests for this
701 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
702 - added new recipe for immutable
703 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
705 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
706 - added new recipe for builder and
707 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
709 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
710 - added new recipe for method aliasing
711 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
714 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

717 since Module::Install has done that.
719 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
721 drink more coffee before
722 doing release engineering

726 modules. This fixes that.
728 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
729 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
730 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

836 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
837 - I hate Pod::Coverage
839 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
841 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

883 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
884 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
885 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
886 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1179 when they encounter overriden or modified
1180 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1181 - added tests for this
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1189 - added more tests for this
1191 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1194 * Parameterized Types
1195 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1196 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1197 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1198 They can also be nested:
1199 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1200 And work with the type unions as well:
1201 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1203 * Better Framework Extendability
1204 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1205 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1206 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1207 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1210 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1211 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1212 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1213 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1412 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1413 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1414 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1416 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1417 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1419 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1420 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1421 so this release is just to fix that.
1424 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1425 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1426 (thanks to konobi for this)
1427 - added tests and docs
1429 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1430 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1433 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1434 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1435 - added tests for this
1436 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1437 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1438 functions to facilitate introspection.
1440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1441 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1442 to build the list of delegated methods
1443 correctly (and not override important
1444 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1446 - added tests and docs for this
1447 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1448 so that you can actually document your
1449 attributes and inspect them through the
1451 - added tests and docs for this
1453 * Moose::Meta::Class
1454 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1455 it will first look in for the class in the
1456 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1457 then default to just loading $name.
1458 - added tests and docs for this
1460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1461 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1462 - added test for this
1465 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1466 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1467 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1468 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1470 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1471 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1474 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1476 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1477 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1478 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1481 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1482 !! for this developer release to work !!
1484 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1485 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1486 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1487 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1488 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1489 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1490 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1491 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1492 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1493 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1494 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1496 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1497 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1498 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1499 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1502 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1504 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1505 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1506 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1508 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1510 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1511 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1514 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1515 called unless they actually need to be.
1516 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1517 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1518 DEMOLISH method present.
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1521 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1522 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1523 type constraint, which allows for a
1524 hand optimized version of the type
1525 constraint to be used when possible.
1526 - Any internally created type constraints
1527 now provide an optimized version as well.
1529 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1531 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1532 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1533 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1536 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1537 your class namespace of these exported
1540 * Moose::Meta::Class
1541 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1542 comes up during global destruction
1544 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1548 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1552 - changed how we do type checks so that
1553 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1556 - moved accessor generation methods to
1557 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1558 conform to the API changes from
1561 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1562 - changed how constraints are compiled
1563 so that we do less recursion and more
1564 iteration. This makes the type check
1566 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1569 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1570 - created this from methods formerly found in
1571 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1573 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1574 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1577 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1580 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1582 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1585 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1586 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1587 - added tests for this
1588 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1589 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1590 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1591 - removed tests for this
1593 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1595 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1596 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1597 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1600 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1601 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1602 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1604 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1605 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1606 comments for more info.
1609 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1610 asked questions and common problems
1612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1613 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1614 - added tests for this
1616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1617 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1618 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1619 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1621 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1622 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1625 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1626 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1627 is much appreciated :)
1628 - added tests for this
1630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1631 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1632 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1636 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1638 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1640 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1641 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1645 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1646 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1647 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1649 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1651 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1654 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1655 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1656 keywords because we need to localize them.
1657 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1659 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1660 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1661 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1664 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1667 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1668 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1669 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1672 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1673 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1674 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1676 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1678 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1679 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1680 bottom of your class file.
1683 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1686 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1688 - improved error message when loading modules so
1689 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1690 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1691 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1694 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1695 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1696 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1698 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1699 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1701 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1702 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1703 turn them on for you.
1704 - added tests for this

1733 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1734 - This release works in combination with
1735 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1736 release because it uses the a new
1737 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1738 complete Role implementation. It has
1739 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1740 the the previous CPAN version. This
1741 release also lacks good updated docs,
1742 the official release will have updated docs.
1745 - refactored the keyword exports
1746 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1747 accepts more than one Role at a time

1758 string enumerations which can be used as
1760 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1763 - more careful checking of params to new()
1766 - much work done on the role composition
1767 - many new tests for conflict detection
1768 and composition edge cases
1769 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1770 looking at the tests
1772 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1773 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1774 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1776 * Moose::Meta::Class

1779 - some small additions to support Roles
1781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1782 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1784 - some small changes to support the new
1786 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1787 with the 'handles' option
1788 - added several tests for this
1789 - no docs for this yet

1793 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1794 thanks to chansen for this commit
1795 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1796 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1797 on a per-attribute basis
1798 - added tests for this
1799 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1800 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
