1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
5 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
7 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
9 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
12 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
13 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
14 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
15 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
16 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
17 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
19 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
20 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
21 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
22 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
23 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
24 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
26 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
27 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
28 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
30 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
32 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
33 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
35 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
36 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
37 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
38 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
40 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
41 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
42 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
43 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
44 same methods for a single role did not work
45 right (worked just fine with multiple
47 - added test for this (stevan)
49 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
50 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
51 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
54 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
55 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
56 - added test for this (t0m)
59 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
60 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
61 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
63 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
64 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
65 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
66 - added test for this (t0m)
68 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
69 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
70 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
71 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
72 - added test for this (perigrin)
75 - create method for constructing a role
77 - added test for this (Sartak)
78 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
79 - added test for this (Sartak)
82 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
84 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
85 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
86 methods is useful (Sartak)
88 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
89 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
90 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
94 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
95 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
96 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
97 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
98 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
99 - added tests for this (jdv79)
102 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
103 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
106 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
107 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
108 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
109 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
111 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
113 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
114 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
115 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
118 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
119 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
120 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
121 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
122 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
123 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
127 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
128 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
129 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
130 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
131 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
132 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
133 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
134 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
135 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
136 future. (jnapiorkowski)
138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
139 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
143 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
144 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
145 type. (jnapiorkowski)
146 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
148 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
150 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
151 predicate, and link to more details sections in
152 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
154 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
155 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
158 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
159 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
160 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
163 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
164 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
166 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
168 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
169 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
172 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
173 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
177 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
178 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
179 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
182 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
185 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
186 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
187 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
188 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
189 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
190 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
191 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
193 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
194 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
195 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
197 * Roles and role application
198 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
199 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
200 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
201 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
202 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
204 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
205 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
208 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
209 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
210 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
211 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
212 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
215 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
216 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
217 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
218 changes in the Moose internals.
220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
222 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
226 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
227 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
228 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
231 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
232 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
233 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
236 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
237 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
238 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
239 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
240 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
241 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
242 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
243 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
244 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
245 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
246 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
247 constraint implementations.
249 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
253 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
254 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
255 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
256 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
257 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
258 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
259 - added tests for this (rafl)
262 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
263 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
264 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
265 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
266 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
267 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
268 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
269 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
272 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
273 - added tests for this (thepler)
275 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
276 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
277 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
278 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
283 * Moose::Meta::Method
286 * Moose::Error::Default
287 * Moose::Error::Croak
288 * Moose::Error::Confess
289 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
290 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
291 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
292 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
293 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
294 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
296 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
298 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
299 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
302 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
303 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
304 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
307 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
308 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
309 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
310 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
313 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
314 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
316 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
317 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
318 several major changes in this release of Moose.
319 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
322 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
324 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
325 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
327 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
332 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
333 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
335 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
337 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
338 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
339 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
340 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
341 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
342 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
344 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
345 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
346 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
348 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
349 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
350 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
353 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
354 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
355 dependency to 0.64_07.
357 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
358 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
359 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
362 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
366 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
367 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
368 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
369 coincidental exception. (t0m).
370 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
373 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
375 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
377 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
378 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
382 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
383 method when that method was provided by another role being
384 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
385 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
387 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
389 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
390 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
393 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
394 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
395 - added test for this (t0m)
397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
398 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
399 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
401 - added test for this (t0m)
404 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
405 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
406 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
409 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
410 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
412 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
414 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
417 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
418 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
419 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
421 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
422 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
425 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
426 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
427 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
428 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
432 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
433 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
434 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
437 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
438 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
439 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
440 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
443 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
447 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
448 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
449 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
451 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
453 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
454 created so that the process can be more easily
455 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
457 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
458 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
459 the type constraints (RT #37569)
460 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
463 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
466 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
467 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
469 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
470 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
471 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
473 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
474 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
475 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
477 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
478 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
480 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
481 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
484 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
485 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
489 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
490 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
492 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
493 ... this is not my day today ...
495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
496 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
497 clone_and_inherit options still works for
498 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
499 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
502 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
503 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
504 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
505 in this release, except the fact that it includes
506 the changes that I didn't include in the last
509 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
511 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
512 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
513 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
514 this is not ever something you want to do
515 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
516 - added tests for this (stevan)
519 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
521 - added test for this
523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
524 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
525 - added tests for this (wreis)
527 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
528 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
529 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
530 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
532 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
533 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
534 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
537 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
539 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
541 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
544 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
545 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
546 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
547 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
548 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
549 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
550 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
551 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
552 - added tests for this
554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
555 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
556 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
557 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
559 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
562 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
563 - added tests for this (sartak)
564 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
565 install_delegation method (Stevan)
568 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
570 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
571 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
573 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
575 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
576 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
578 - Some null_constraint optimizations
580 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
581 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
584 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
585 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
586 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
589 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
590 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
592 - added docs for this (TODO).
593 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
594 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
595 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
596 - fix builder and default both being used
601 Moose::Meta::Attribute
603 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
604 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
605 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
609 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
613 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
614 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
615 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
618 - move the ClassName type check code to
619 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
621 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
622 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
624 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
625 (early morning release engineering)--
627 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
628 which was causing the indexer to choke
630 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
631 (late night release engineering)--
633 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
634 changes in this release
636 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
637 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
638 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
641 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
642 since it is called so often by &meta
646 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
647 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
651 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
652 method for immutablization to check if the
653 destructor object even needs to be created
656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
657 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
658 - added more descriptive error message to help
659 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
660 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
662 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
664 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
665 XS based functionality is now optional
666 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
667 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
668 can now be used to force non-XS versions
670 - several of the packages have been tweaked
671 to take care of this, mostly we added
672 support for the package_name and name
673 variables in all the Method metaclasses
674 - before/around/after method modifiers now
675 support regexp matching of names
676 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
677 - tests added for this
678 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
679 is currently not supported in roles,
680 but, ... patches welcome
681 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
682 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
683 the stack trace is usually not helpful
686 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
687 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
688 the stack trace is usually not helpful
689 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
690 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
691 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
692 - added test for this
694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
695 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
696 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
700 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
704 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes

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

1241 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1244 * Parameterized Types
1245 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1246 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1247 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1248 They can also be nested:
1249 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1250 And work with the type unions as well:
1251 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1253 * Better Framework Extendability
1254 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1255 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1256 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1257 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1260 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1261 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1262 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1263 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1412 * Moose::Meta::Class
1413 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
1414 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1416 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
1417 the other side (perigrin)
1419 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1421 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1422 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1423 prototypes for functions
1424 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1425 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1426 - added tests and docs for this
1427 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
1428 default for where be { 1 }
1429 - added test for this
1431 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1432 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
1433 merlyn for finding this bug
1434 - tests added for this
1435 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1438 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1439 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1440 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1441 - added tests for this
1443 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1445 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1450 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
1452 * Moose::Meta::Class

1457 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
1458 where not handled correctly in roles
1459 - added tests for this
1461 * Moose::Meta::Class
1462 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1463 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1464 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1466 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1467 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1469 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1470 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1471 so this release is just to fix that.
1474 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1475 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1476 (thanks to konobi for this)
1477 - added tests and docs
1479 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1483 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1484 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1485 - added tests for this
1486 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1487 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1488 functions to facilitate introspection.
1490 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1491 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1492 to build the list of delegated methods
1493 correctly (and not override important
1494 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1496 - added tests and docs for this
1497 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1498 so that you can actually document your
1499 attributes and inspect them through the
1501 - added tests and docs for this
1503 * Moose::Meta::Class
1504 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1505 it will first look in for the class in the
1506 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1507 then default to just loading $name.
1508 - added tests and docs for this
1510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1511 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1512 - added test for this
1515 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1516 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1517 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1518 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1520 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1521 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1524 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1526 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1527 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1528 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1531 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1532 !! for this developer release to work !!
1534 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1535 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1536 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1537 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1538 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1539 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1540 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1541 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1542 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1543 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1544 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1546 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1547 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1548 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1549 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1552 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1554 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1555 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1556 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1558 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1560 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1561 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1564 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1565 called unless they actually need to be.
1566 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1567 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1568 DEMOLISH method present.
1570 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1571 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1572 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1573 type constraint, which allows for a
1574 hand optimized version of the type
1575 constraint to be used when possible.
1576 - Any internally created type constraints
1577 now provide an optimized version as well.
1579 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1581 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1582 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1583 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1586 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1587 your class namespace of these exported
1590 * Moose::Meta::Class
1591 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1592 comes up during global destruction
1594 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1598 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1602 - changed how we do type checks so that
1603 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1606 - moved accessor generation methods to
1607 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1608 conform to the API changes from
1611 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1612 - changed how constraints are compiled
1613 so that we do less recursion and more
1614 iteration. This makes the type check
1616 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1620 - created this from methods formerly found in
1621 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1623 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1624 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1627 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1629 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1630 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1632 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1635 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1636 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1637 - added tests for this
1638 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1639 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1640 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1641 - removed tests for this
1643 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1645 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1646 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1647 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1650 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1651 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1652 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1654 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1655 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1656 comments for more info.
1659 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1660 asked questions and common problems
1662 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1663 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1664 - added tests for this
1666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1667 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1668 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1669 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1671 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1672 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1675 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1676 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1677 is much appreciated :)
1678 - added tests for this
1680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1681 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1682 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1686 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1688 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1690 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1691 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1695 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1696 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1697 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1699 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1701 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1704 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1705 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1706 keywords because we need to localize them.
1707 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1709 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1710 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1711 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1714 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1718 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1719 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1722 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1723 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1724 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1726 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1728 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1729 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1730 bottom of your class file.
1733 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1736 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1738 - improved error message when loading modules so
1739 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1740 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1741 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1744 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1745 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1746 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1748 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1749 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1751 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1752 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1753 turn them on for you.
1754 - added tests for this
1755 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1756 in Moose::Meta::Class

1783 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1784 - This release works in combination with
1785 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1786 release because it uses the a new
1787 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1788 complete Role implementation. It has
1789 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1790 the the previous CPAN version. This
1791 release also lacks good updated docs,
1792 the official release will have updated docs.
1795 - refactored the keyword exports
1796 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1797 accepts more than one Role at a time
1798 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1799 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1802 - refactored the keyword exports
1803 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1804 accepts more than one Role at a time
1806 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1808 string enumerations which can be used as
1810 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1813 - more careful checking of params to new()
1816 - much work done on the role composition
1817 - many new tests for conflict detection
1818 and composition edge cases
1819 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1820 looking at the tests
1822 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1823 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1824 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1826 * Moose::Meta::Class

1829 - some small additions to support Roles
1831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1832 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1834 - some small changes to support the new
1836 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1837 with the 'handles' option
1838 - added several tests for this
1839 - no docs for this yet

1843 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1844 thanks to chansen for this commit
1845 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1846 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1847 on a per-attribute basis
1848 - added tests for this
1849 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1850 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1851 experimental feature and probably not finished
