1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
5 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
7 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
8 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
11 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
12 - predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
13 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
14 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and coincidental
15 exception. The behavior is now in line with to
16 $ob->isa('DoesNotExist') (t0m).
17 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
19 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
20 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
22 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
24 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
26 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
27 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
29 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
30 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
31 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
32 - added test for this (t0m)
34 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
35 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
36 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
38 - added test for this (t0m)
41 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
42 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
43 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
46 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
47 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
49 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
51 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
54 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
55 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
56 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
58 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
59 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
62 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
63 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
64 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
65 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
69 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
70 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
71 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
74 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
75 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
76 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
77 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
80 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
84 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
85 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
86 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
88 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
89 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
90 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
91 created so that the process can be more easily
92 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

95 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
96 the type constraints (RT #37569)
97 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
99 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
100 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
103 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
104 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
106 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
107 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
108 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
110 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
111 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
112 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
114 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
115 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
117 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
118 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
121 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
122 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
126 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
127 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
129 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
130 ... this is not my day today ...
132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
133 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
134 clone_and_inherit options still works for
135 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
136 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
139 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
140 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
141 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
142 in this release, except the fact that it includes
143 the changes that I didn't include in the last
146 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
148 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
149 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
150 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
151 this is not ever something you want to do
152 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
153 - added tests for this (stevan)
156 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
158 - added test for this

178 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
182 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
183 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
184 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
185 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
186 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
187 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
188 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
189 - added tests for this
191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
192 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
193 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
194 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
196 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
198 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
199 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

375 show where the error is (thanks mst)
378 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
379 ->body when looping through the

761 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
762 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
763 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
765 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
766 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
767 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
768 they should inherit the parent's coercion
769 - added tests for this
770 - you can now define multiple coercions on
771 a single type at different times instead of
772 having to do it all in one place
773 - added tests for this
775 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
776 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
777 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
780 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
781 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
782 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
783 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
784 new features above (although you cannot add
785 more type coercions for Union types)
787 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
789 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
790 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
791 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
792 - added tests for this.
793 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
794 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
795 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
796 - added tests for this
797 - added docs for this
799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
800 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
801 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
802 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
803 instead it will just return undef.
804 - added docs for this
806 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
807 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
808 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)
810 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

819 - added tests for this
822 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
823 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
826 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
827 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
828 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
830 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
832 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)
834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

862 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
865 - fixed how required methods are handled
866 when they encounter overriden or modified
867 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
868 - added tests for this
870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
871 - fixed the type notation parser so that
872 the | always creates a union and so is
873 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
874 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
876 - added more tests for this
878 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
881 * Parameterized Types
882 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
883 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
884 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
885 They can also be nested:
886 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
887 And work with the type unions as well:
888 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
890 * Better Framework Extendability
891 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
892 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
893 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
894 section of the Moose.pm docs.
897 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
898 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
899 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
900 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
903 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
905 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
906 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

937 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
939 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
940 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
941 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
942 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)

945 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
946 - updated the accompanying test as well
948 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
949 +++ with new features added as well +++
951 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
952 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
953 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
954 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
955 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
957 - added tests for this
959 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
960 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
961 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
962 can track where the type constraints are created
964 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
965 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
966 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
968 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
969 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
970 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself

983 - Documentation update to reference Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
984 under 'isa' in 'has' for how to define a new type
987 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
988 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
989 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

993 - added tests for this
995 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1027 - added tests for these
1029 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1030 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1033 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1034 to the 'handles' option.
1035 - added tests and docs for this
1036 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
1037 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
1038 (but not changing the handles option)
1039 - added tests and docs for this
1042 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1043 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1046 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1048 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1054 the other side (perigrin)
1056 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1057 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1058 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1059 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1060 prototypes for functions
1061 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1062 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1063 - added tests and docs for this

1070 merlyn for finding this bug
1071 - tests added for this
1072 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1075 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1076 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1077 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1078 - added tests for this
1080 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1082 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1100 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1101 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1103 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1104 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1106 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1107 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1108 so this release is just to fix that.
1111 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1112 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1113 (thanks to konobi for this)
1114 - added tests and docs
1116 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1117 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1120 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1121 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1122 - added tests for this
1123 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1124 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1125 functions to facilitate introspection.
1127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1128 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1129 to build the list of delegated methods
1130 correctly (and not override important
1131 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1133 - added tests and docs for this
1134 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1135 so that you can actually document your
1136 attributes and inspect them through the
1138 - added tests and docs for this
1140 * Moose::Meta::Class
1141 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1142 it will first look in for the class in the
1143 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1144 then default to just loading $name.
1145 - added tests and docs for this
1147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1148 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1149 - added test for this
1152 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1153 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1154 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1155 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1157 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1158 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1161 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1163 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1164 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1165 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1168 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1169 !! for this developer release to work !!
1171 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1172 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1173 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1174 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1175 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1176 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1177 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1178 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1179 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1180 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1181 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1183 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1184 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1185 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1186 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1189 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1191 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1192 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1193 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1195 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1197 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1198 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1201 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1202 called unless they actually need to be.
1203 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1204 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1205 DEMOLISH method present.
1207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1209 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1210 type constraint, which allows for a
1211 hand optimized version of the type
1212 constraint to be used when possible.
1213 - Any internally created type constraints
1214 now provide an optimized version as well.
1216 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1218 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1219 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1220 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1223 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1224 your class namespace of these exported
1227 * Moose::Meta::Class
1228 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1229 comes up during global destruction
1231 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1235 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1239 - changed how we do type checks so that
1240 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1243 - moved accessor generation methods to
1244 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1245 conform to the API changes from
1248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1249 - changed how constraints are compiled
1250 so that we do less recursion and more
1251 iteration. This makes the type check
1253 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1257 - created this from methods formerly found in
1258 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1260 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1261 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1264 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1266 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1267 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1269 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1272 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1273 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1274 - added tests for this
1275 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1276 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1277 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1278 - removed tests for this
1280 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1282 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1283 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1284 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1287 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1288 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1289 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1291 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1292 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1293 comments for more info.
1296 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1297 asked questions and common problems
1299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1300 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1301 - added tests for this
1303 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1304 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1305 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1306 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1308 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1309 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1312 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1313 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1314 is much appreciated :)
1315 - added tests for this
1317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1318 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1319 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1323 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1325 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1327 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1328 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1332 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1333 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1334 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1336 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1338 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1341 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1342 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1343 keywords because we need to localize them.
1344 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1346 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1347 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1348 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1351 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1354 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1355 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1356 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1359 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1360 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1361 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1363 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1365 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1366 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1367 bottom of your class file.
1370 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1373 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1375 - improved error message when loading modules so
1376 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1377 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1378 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1381 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1382 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1383 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1385 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1386 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1388 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1389 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1390 turn them on for you.
1391 - added tests for this
1392 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1393 in Moose::Meta::Class
1396 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1397 automatically turned on for you.
1398 - added tests for this
1401 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1402 - added tests for this
1403 - added some more edge case tests

1416 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1419 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1420 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1421 - This release works in combination with
1422 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1423 release because it uses the a new
1424 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1425 complete Role implementation. It has
1426 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1427 the the previous CPAN version. This
1428 release also lacks good updated docs,
1429 the official release will have updated docs.
1432 - refactored the keyword exports
1433 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1434 accepts more than one Role at a time
1435 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1436 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1439 - refactored the keyword exports
1440 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1441 accepts more than one Role at a time
1443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1444 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1445 string enumerations which can be used as
1447 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1450 - more careful checking of params to new()
1453 - much work done on the role composition
1454 - many new tests for conflict detection
1455 and composition edge cases
1456 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1457 looking at the tests
1459 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1460 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1461 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1463 * Moose::Meta::Class
1464 - some small changes to support the new
1466 - some small additions to support Roles
1468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1469 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1471 - some small changes to support the new
1473 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1474 with the 'handles' option
1475 - added several tests for this
1476 - no docs for this yet
1478 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1480 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1481 thanks to chansen for this commit
1482 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1483 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1484 on a per-attribute basis
1485 - added tests for this
1486 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1487 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1488 experimental feature and probably not finished
1489 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
1490 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1491 - added tests for this
