1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
5 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
6 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
7 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
9 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
10 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
11 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
12 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
14 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
15 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
16 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
17 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
18 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
19 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
20 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
21 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
22 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
23 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
24 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
25 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
26 constraint implementations.
28 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
32 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
33 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
34 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
35 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
36 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
37 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
38 - added tests for this (rafl)
40 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
42 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
43 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
46 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
47 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
48 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
50 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
51 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
52 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
53 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
54 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
57 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
58 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
60 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
61 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
62 several major changes in this release of Moose.
63 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
66 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
68 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
69 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
71 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
76 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
77 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
79 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
81 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
82 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
83 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
84 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
85 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
86 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
88 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
89 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
90 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
92 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
93 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
94 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
97 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
98 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
99 dependency to 0.64_07.
101 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
102 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
103 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
106 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
109 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
110 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
111 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
112 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
113 coincidental exception. (t0m).
114 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
117 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
119 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
121 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
122 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
126 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
127 method when that method was provided by another role being
128 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
129 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
131 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
133 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
134 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
137 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
138 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
139 - added test for this (t0m)
141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
142 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
143 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
145 - added test for this (t0m)
148 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
149 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
150 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
154 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
156 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
158 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
161 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
162 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
163 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
165 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
166 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
170 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
171 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
172 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
176 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
177 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
178 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
181 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
182 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
183 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
184 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
187 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
191 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
192 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
193 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
195 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
207 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
210 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
211 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
213 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
214 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
215 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
217 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

233 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
234 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
236 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
237 ... this is not my day today ...
239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
240 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
241 clone_and_inherit options still works for
242 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
243 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
246 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
247 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
248 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
249 in this release, except the fact that it includes
250 the changes that I didn't include in the last
253 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
255 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
256 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
257 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
258 this is not ever something you want to do
259 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
260 - added tests for this (stevan)
263 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
265 - added test for this

285 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
288 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
289 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
290 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
291 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
292 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
293 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
294 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
295 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
296 - added tests for this
298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
299 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
300 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
301 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
303 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

372 which was causing the indexer to choke
374 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
375 (late night release engineering)--
377 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
378 changes in this release
380 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
381 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
382 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
395 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
396 method for immutablization to check if the
397 destructor object even needs to be created
400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
401 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
402 - added more descriptive error message to help
403 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

419 support regexp matching of names
420 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
421 - tests added for this
422 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
423 is currently not supported in roles,
424 but, ... patches welcome
425 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
426 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
427 the stack trace is usually not helpful
430 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
431 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
432 the stack trace is usually not helpful
433 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

481 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
482 show where the error is (thanks mst)
485 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
486 ->body when looping through the
487 methods, to avoid the overloaded
489 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
490 eating the $@ values, and so not

523 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
524 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

533 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
534 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
537 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
538 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
539 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will

678 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
679 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
680 it ever did this originally, this means we now

771 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
774 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
775 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles

831 - added this module to support the refactor
832 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
834 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

865 types without having to explictly define them
866 - added tests for this
868 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

894 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
896 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

898 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
899 - added tests for this.
900 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
901 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
902 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.

904 - added docs for this
906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
907 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

973 when they encounter overriden or modified
974 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
975 - added tests for this
977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
978 - fixed the type notation parser so that
979 the | always creates a union and so is
980 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
981 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
983 - added more tests for this
985 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
988 * Parameterized Types
989 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
990 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
991 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
992 They can also be nested:
993 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
994 And work with the type unions as well:
995 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
997 * Better Framework Extendability
998 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
999 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1000 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1001 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1004 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1005 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1006 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1007 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1010 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1012 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1013 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1062 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1064 - added tests for this
1066 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1067 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
1068 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we

1072 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1073 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1075 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

1145 (but not changing the handles option)
1146 - added tests and docs for this
1149 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1150 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1161 the other side (perigrin)
1163 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1165 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1166 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1167 prototypes for functions
1168 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1169 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1179 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1182 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1183 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1184 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1185 - added tests for this
1187 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1189 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1211 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1213 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1214 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1215 so this release is just to fix that.
1218 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1219 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1220 (thanks to konobi for this)

1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1228 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1229 - added tests for this

1231 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1232 functions to facilitate introspection.
1234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1235 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1236 to build the list of delegated methods
1237 correctly (and not override important
1238 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1240 - added tests and docs for this
1241 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1242 so that you can actually document your
1243 attributes and inspect them through the
1245 - added tests and docs for this
1247 * Moose::Meta::Class
1248 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1249 it will first look in for the class in the
1250 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1251 then default to just loading $name.
1252 - added tests and docs for this
1254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1255 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1256 - added test for this
1259 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1260 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1261 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1262 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1264 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1265 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1268 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1270 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1271 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1272 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1275 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1276 !! for this developer release to work !!
1278 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1279 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1280 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1281 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1282 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1283 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1284 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1285 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1286 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1287 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1288 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1290 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1291 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1292 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1293 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1296 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1298 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1299 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1300 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1302 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1304 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1305 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1308 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1309 called unless they actually need to be.
1310 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1311 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1312 DEMOLISH method present.
1314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1316 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1317 type constraint, which allows for a
1318 hand optimized version of the type
1319 constraint to be used when possible.
1320 - Any internally created type constraints
1321 now provide an optimized version as well.
1323 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1325 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1326 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1327 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1330 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1331 your class namespace of these exported
1334 * Moose::Meta::Class
1335 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1336 comes up during global destruction
1338 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1342 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1346 - changed how we do type checks so that
1347 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1350 - moved accessor generation methods to
1351 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1352 conform to the API changes from
1355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1356 - changed how constraints are compiled
1357 so that we do less recursion and more
1358 iteration. This makes the type check
1360 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1364 - created this from methods formerly found in
1365 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1367 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1368 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1371 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1374 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1376 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1379 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1380 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1381 - added tests for this
1382 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1383 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1384 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1385 - removed tests for this
1387 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1389 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1390 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1391 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1394 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1395 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1396 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1398 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1399 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1400 comments for more info.
1403 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1404 asked questions and common problems
1406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1407 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1408 - added tests for this
1410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1411 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1412 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1413 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1415 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1416 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1419 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1420 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1421 is much appreciated :)
1422 - added tests for this
1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1425 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1426 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1430 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1432 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1434 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1435 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1439 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1440 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1441 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1443 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1445 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1448 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1449 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1450 keywords because we need to localize them.
1451 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1453 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1454 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1455 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1458 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1462 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1463 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1466 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1467 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1468 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1470 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1472 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1473 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1474 bottom of your class file.
1477 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1480 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1482 - improved error message when loading modules so
1483 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1484 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1485 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1488 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1489 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1490 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1493 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1495 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1496 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1497 turn them on for you.
1498 - added tests for this
1499 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1500 in Moose::Meta::Class
1503 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1504 automatically turned on for you.
1505 - added tests for this
1508 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1509 - added tests for this
1510 - added some more edge case tests

1526 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1527 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1528 - This release works in combination with
1529 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1530 release because it uses the a new
1531 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1532 complete Role implementation. It has
1533 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1534 the the previous CPAN version. This
1535 release also lacks good updated docs,
1536 the official release will have updated docs.
1539 - refactored the keyword exports
1540 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1541 accepts more than one Role at a time
1542 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1543 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1546 - refactored the keyword exports
1547 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1548 accepts more than one Role at a time
1550 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1551 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1552 string enumerations which can be used as
1554 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1557 - more careful checking of params to new()
1560 - much work done on the role composition
1561 - many new tests for conflict detection
1562 and composition edge cases
1563 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1564 looking at the tests
1566 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1567 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1568 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1570 * Moose::Meta::Class
1571 - some small changes to support the new
1573 - some small additions to support Roles
1575 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1576 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1578 - some small changes to support the new
1580 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1581 with the 'handles' option
1582 - added several tests for this
1583 - no docs for this yet

1587 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1588 thanks to chansen for this commit
1589 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1590 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1591 on a per-attribute basis
1592 - added tests for this

1594 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1595 experimental feature and probably not finished
