1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
5 how roles add methods to a class !!
7 * Roles and role application
8 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
9 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
10 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
11 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
12 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
14 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
15 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
17 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
18 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
19 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
24 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
25 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
26 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
27 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
28 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
29 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
30 - added tests for this (rafl)
33 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
34 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
35 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
36 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
37 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
38 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
39 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
41 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
43 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
44 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
47 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
48 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
49 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
52 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
53 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
54 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
55 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
58 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
59 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
61 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
62 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
63 several major changes in this release of Moose.
64 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
67 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
69 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
70 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
72 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
77 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
78 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
80 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
82 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
83 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
84 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
85 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
86 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
87 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
89 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
90 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
91 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
93 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
94 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
95 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
98 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
99 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
100 dependency to 0.64_07.
102 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
103 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
104 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
107 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
110 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
111 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
112 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
113 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
114 coincidental exception. (t0m).
115 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
118 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
120 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
122 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
123 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
127 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
128 method when that method was provided by another role being
129 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
130 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
132 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
134 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
135 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
138 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
139 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
140 - added test for this (t0m)
142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
143 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
144 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
146 - added test for this (t0m)
149 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
150 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
151 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
155 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
157 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
159 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
162 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
163 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
164 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
167 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
171 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
172 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
173 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
177 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
178 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
179 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
182 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
183 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
184 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
185 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
188 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
192 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
193 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
194 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
196 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
198 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
199 created so that the process can be more easily

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

234 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
235 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
237 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
238 ... this is not my day today ...
240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
241 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
242 clone_and_inherit options still works for
243 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
244 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
247 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
248 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
249 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
250 in this release, except the fact that it includes
251 the changes that I didn't include in the last
254 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
256 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
257 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
258 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
259 this is not ever something you want to do
260 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
261 - added tests for this (stevan)
264 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
266 - added test for this

284 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
286 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
289 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
290 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
291 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
292 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
293 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
294 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
295 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
296 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
297 - added tests for this
299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
300 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
301 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

376 (late night release engineering)--
378 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
379 changes in this release
381 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
382 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
383 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
396 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
397 method for immutablization to check if the
398 destructor object even needs to be created

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

482 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
483 show where the error is (thanks mst)
486 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
487 ->body when looping through the
488 methods, to avoid the overloaded

772 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
775 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
776 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
777 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
778 method in the first place ;)
780 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
781 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
782 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

797 - runtime application of roles to instances
798 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
799 classes when applicable
801 * <<New Role composition features>>

805 still retain the original as well)
807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints
808 - added this module (see above)
811 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
812 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct

832 - added this module to support the refactor
833 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
835 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
836 - refactored how these types are handled so they
837 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
841 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
843 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
844 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

865 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
866 types without having to explictly define them
867 - added tests for this
869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
870 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need

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

899 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
900 - added tests for this.
901 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
902 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
903 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
904 - added tests for this
905 - added docs for this
907 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
908 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

970 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
973 - fixed how required methods are handled
974 when they encounter overriden or modified
975 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
976 - added tests for this
978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
979 - fixed the type notation parser so that
980 the | always creates a union and so is
981 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
982 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
984 - added more tests for this
986 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
989 * Parameterized Types
990 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
991 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
992 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
993 They can also be nested:
994 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
995 And work with the type unions as well:
996 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
998 * Better Framework Extendability
999 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1000 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1001 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1002 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1005 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1006 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1007 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1008 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1011 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1013 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1014 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1017 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1063 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1065 - added tests for this
1067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1068 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
1069 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we

1073 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1074 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1076 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

1146 (but not changing the handles option)
1147 - added tests and docs for this
1150 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1151 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1156 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1162 the other side (perigrin)
1164 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1165 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1166 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1167 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1168 prototypes for functions
1169 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1170 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1180 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1183 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1184 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1185 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1186 - added tests for this
1188 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1190 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1212 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1214 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1215 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1216 so this release is just to fix that.
1219 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1220 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1221 (thanks to konobi for this)

1232 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1233 functions to facilitate introspection.
1235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1236 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1237 to build the list of delegated methods
1238 correctly (and not override important
1239 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1241 - added tests and docs for this
1242 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1243 so that you can actually document your
1244 attributes and inspect them through the
1246 - added tests and docs for this
1248 * Moose::Meta::Class
1249 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1250 it will first look in for the class in the
1251 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1252 then default to just loading $name.
1253 - added tests and docs for this
1255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1256 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1257 - added test for this
1260 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1261 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1262 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1263 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1265 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1266 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1269 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1271 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1272 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1273 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1276 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1277 !! for this developer release to work !!
1279 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1280 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1281 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1282 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1283 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1284 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1285 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1286 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1287 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1288 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1289 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1291 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1292 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1293 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1294 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1297 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1299 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1300 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1301 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1303 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1305 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1306 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1309 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1310 called unless they actually need to be.
1311 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1312 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1313 DEMOLISH method present.
1315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1317 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1318 type constraint, which allows for a
1319 hand optimized version of the type
1320 constraint to be used when possible.
1321 - Any internally created type constraints
1322 now provide an optimized version as well.
1324 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1326 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1327 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1328 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1330 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1331 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1332 your class namespace of these exported
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1337 comes up during global destruction
1339 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1343 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 - changed how we do type checks so that
1348 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1351 - moved accessor generation methods to
1352 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1353 conform to the API changes from
1356 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1357 - changed how constraints are compiled
1358 so that we do less recursion and more
1359 iteration. This makes the type check
1361 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1365 - created this from methods formerly found in
1366 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1368 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1369 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1372 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1375 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1377 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1380 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1381 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1382 - added tests for this
1383 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1384 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1385 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1386 - removed tests for this
1388 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1390 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1391 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1392 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1395 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1396 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1397 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1399 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1400 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1401 comments for more info.
1404 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1405 asked questions and common problems
1407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1408 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1409 - added tests for this
1411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1412 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1413 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1414 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1416 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1417 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1420 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1421 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1422 is much appreciated :)
1423 - added tests for this
1425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1426 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1427 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1430 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1431 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1433 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1435 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1436 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1440 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1441 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1442 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1444 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1446 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1449 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1450 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1451 keywords because we need to localize them.
1452 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1454 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1455 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1456 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1459 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1462 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1463 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1464 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1467 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1468 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1469 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1471 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1473 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1474 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1475 bottom of your class file.
1478 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1481 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1483 - improved error message when loading modules so
1484 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1485 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1486 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1489 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1490 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1491 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1494 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1496 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1497 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1498 turn them on for you.
1499 - added tests for this
1500 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1501 in Moose::Meta::Class
1504 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1505 automatically turned on for you.

1509 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1510 - added tests for this

1527 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1528 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1529 - This release works in combination with
1530 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1531 release because it uses the a new
1532 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1533 complete Role implementation. It has
1534 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1535 the the previous CPAN version. This
1536 release also lacks good updated docs,
1537 the official release will have updated docs.
1540 - refactored the keyword exports
1541 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1542 accepts more than one Role at a time
1543 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1544 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1547 - refactored the keyword exports
1548 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1549 accepts more than one Role at a time
1551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1552 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1553 string enumerations which can be used as
1555 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1558 - more careful checking of params to new()
1561 - much work done on the role composition
1562 - many new tests for conflict detection
1563 and composition edge cases
1564 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1565 looking at the tests
1567 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1568 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1569 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1571 * Moose::Meta::Class
1572 - some small changes to support the new
1574 - some small additions to support Roles
1576 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1577 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1579 - some small changes to support the new
1581 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1582 with the 'handles' option
1583 - added several tests for this
1584 - no docs for this yet

1588 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1589 thanks to chansen for this commit
1590 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1591 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1592 on a per-attribute basis
1593 - added tests for this
