1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
5 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
6 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
7 same methods for a single role did not work
8 right (worked just fine with multiple roles)
11 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
12 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
13 - added test for this (t0m)
15 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
16 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
17 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
19 - create method for constructing a role
21 - begin implementing anonymous roles (Sartak)
23 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
24 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
25 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
29 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
30 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
31 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
32 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
33 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
34 - added tests for this (jdv79)
37 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
38 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
40 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
41 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
42 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
43 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
44 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
46 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
48 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
49 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
50 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
53 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
54 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
55 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
56 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
57 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
58 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
61 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
62 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
63 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
64 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
65 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
66 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
67 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
68 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
69 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
70 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
71 future. (jnapiorkowski)
73 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
74 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
77 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
78 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
79 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
81 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
83 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
85 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
86 predicate, and link to more details sections in
87 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
89 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
90 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
92 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
93 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
94 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
95 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
98 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
99 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
101 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
103 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
104 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
107 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
108 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
112 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
113 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
114 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
117 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
120 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
121 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
122 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
123 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
124 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
125 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
126 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
128 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
129 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
130 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
132 * Roles and role application
133 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
134 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
135 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
136 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
137 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
139 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
140 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
143 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
144 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
145 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
146 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
147 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
150 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
151 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
152 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
153 changes in the Moose internals.
155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
157 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
160 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
161 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
162 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
163 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
166 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
167 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
168 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
171 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
172 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
173 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
174 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
175 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
176 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
177 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
178 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
179 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
180 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
181 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
182 constraint implementations.
184 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
188 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
189 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
190 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
191 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
192 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
193 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
194 - added tests for this (rafl)
197 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
198 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
199 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
200 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
201 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
202 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
203 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
204 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
207 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
208 - added tests for this (thepler)
210 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
211 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
212 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
213 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
218 * Moose::Meta::Method
221 * Moose::Error::Default
222 * Moose::Error::Croak
223 * Moose::Error::Confess
224 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
225 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
226 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
227 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
228 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
229 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
231 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
233 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
234 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
237 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
238 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
239 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
242 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
243 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
244 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
245 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
248 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
249 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
251 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
252 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
253 several major changes in this release of Moose.
254 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
257 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
259 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
260 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
262 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
267 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
268 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
270 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
272 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
273 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
274 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
275 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
276 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
277 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
280 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
281 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
283 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
284 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
285 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
288 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
289 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
290 dependency to 0.64_07.
292 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
293 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
294 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
296 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
297 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
301 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
302 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
303 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
304 coincidental exception. (t0m).
305 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
308 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
310 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
312 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
313 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
317 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
318 method when that method was provided by another role being
319 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
320 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
322 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
324 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
325 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
328 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
329 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
330 - added test for this (t0m)
332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
333 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
334 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
336 - added test for this (t0m)
339 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
340 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
341 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
344 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
345 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
347 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
349 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
352 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
353 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
354 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
356 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
357 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
360 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
361 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
362 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
363 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
367 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
368 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
369 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
372 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
373 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
374 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
375 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
378 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
382 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
383 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
384 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
386 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
388 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
389 created so that the process can be more easily
390 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
393 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
394 the type constraints (RT #37569)
395 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
398 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
401 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
402 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
404 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
405 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
406 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
408 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
409 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
410 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
412 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
413 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
415 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
416 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
419 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
420 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
424 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
425 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
427 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
428 ... this is not my day today ...
430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
431 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
432 clone_and_inherit options still works for
433 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
434 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
437 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
438 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
439 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
440 in this release, except the fact that it includes
441 the changes that I didn't include in the last
444 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
446 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
447 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
448 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
449 this is not ever something you want to do
450 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
451 - added tests for this (stevan)
454 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
456 - added test for this
458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
459 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
460 - added tests for this (wreis)
462 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
463 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
464 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
465 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
467 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
468 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
469 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
472 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
474 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
476 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
479 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
480 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
481 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
482 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
483 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
484 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
485 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
486 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
487 - added tests for this
489 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
490 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
491 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
492 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
494 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
498 - added tests for this (sartak)
499 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
500 install_delegation method (Stevan)
503 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
505 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
506 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
510 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
511 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
513 - Some null_constraint optimizations
515 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
516 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
519 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
520 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
521 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
524 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
525 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
527 - added docs for this (TODO).
528 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
529 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
530 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
531 - fix builder and default both being used
536 Moose::Meta::Attribute
538 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
539 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
540 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
544 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
548 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
549 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
550 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
552 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
553 - move the ClassName type check code to
554 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
556 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
557 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
559 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
560 (early morning release engineering)--
562 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
563 which was causing the indexer to choke
565 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
566 (late night release engineering)--
568 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
569 changes in this release
571 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
572 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
573 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
576 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
577 since it is called so often by &meta
581 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
582 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
586 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
587 method for immutablization to check if the
588 destructor object even needs to be created
591 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
592 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
593 - added more descriptive error message to help
594 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
595 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
597 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
599 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
600 XS based functionality is now optional
601 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
602 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
603 can now be used to force non-XS versions
605 - several of the packages have been tweaked
606 to take care of this, mostly we added
607 support for the package_name and name
608 variables in all the Method metaclasses
609 - before/around/after method modifiers now
610 support regexp matching of names
611 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
612 - tests added for this
613 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
614 is currently not supported in roles,
615 but, ... patches welcome
616 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
617 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
618 the stack trace is usually not helpful
621 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
622 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
623 the stack trace is usually not helpful
624 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
625 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
626 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
627 - added test for this
629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
630 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
631 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
635 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
639 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
641 - added tests for this
642 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
643 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
646 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
647 themselves parameterizable types
649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
650 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
651 called by the inlined immutable
653 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
655 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
656 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
657 (if possible) to create the anon-class
658 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
660 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
661 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
665 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
666 causing occasional cpantester failures
667 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
668 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
670 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
672 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
673 show where the error is (thanks mst)
676 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
677 ->body when looping through the
678 methods, to avoid the overloaded
680 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
681 eating the $@ values, and so not
682 working correctly, it still kind of
683 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
684 - added tests for this
686 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
687 - added new recipe for immutable
688 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
690 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
691 - added new recipe for builder and
692 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
694 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
695 - added new recipe for method aliasing
696 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
699 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
701 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
702 since Module::Install has done that.
704 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
706 drink more coffee before
707 doing release engineering
709 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
710 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
711 modules. This fixes that.
713 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
714 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
715 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
717 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
718 since we have tests which need the C3

1117 - added tests for this
1120 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1121 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1163 - fixed how required methods are handled
1164 when they encounter overriden or modified
1165 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1166 - added tests for this
1168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1176 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1179 * Parameterized Types
1180 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1181 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1182 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1183 They can also be nested:
1184 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1185 And work with the type unions as well:
1186 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1188 * Better Framework Extendability
1189 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1190 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1191 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1192 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1195 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1196 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1197 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1198 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1415 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1419 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1420 - added tests for this
1421 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1422 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1423 functions to facilitate introspection.
1425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1426 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1427 to build the list of delegated methods
1428 correctly (and not override important
1429 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1431 - added tests and docs for this
1432 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1433 so that you can actually document your
1434 attributes and inspect them through the
1436 - added tests and docs for this
1438 * Moose::Meta::Class
1439 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1440 it will first look in for the class in the
1441 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1442 then default to just loading $name.
1443 - added tests and docs for this
1445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1446 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1447 - added test for this
1450 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1451 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1452 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1453 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1455 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1456 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1459 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1461 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1462 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1463 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1466 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1467 !! for this developer release to work !!
1469 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1470 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1471 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1472 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1473 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1474 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1475 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1476 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1477 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1478 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1479 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1481 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1482 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1483 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1484 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1487 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1489 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1490 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1491 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1493 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1495 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1496 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1499 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1500 called unless they actually need to be.
1501 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1502 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1503 DEMOLISH method present.
1505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1506 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1507 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1508 type constraint, which allows for a
1509 hand optimized version of the type
1510 constraint to be used when possible.
1511 - Any internally created type constraints
1512 now provide an optimized version as well.
1514 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1516 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1517 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1518 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1521 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1522 your class namespace of these exported
1525 * Moose::Meta::Class
1526 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1527 comes up during global destruction
1529 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1533 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1537 - changed how we do type checks so that
1538 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1541 - moved accessor generation methods to
1542 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1543 conform to the API changes from
1546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1547 - changed how constraints are compiled
1548 so that we do less recursion and more
1549 iteration. This makes the type check
1551 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1555 - created this from methods formerly found in
1556 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1558 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1559 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1561 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1562 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1564 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1565 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1567 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1570 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1571 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1572 - added tests for this
1573 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1574 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1575 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1576 - removed tests for this
1578 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1580 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1581 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1582 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1585 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1586 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1587 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1589 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1590 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1591 comments for more info.
1594 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1595 asked questions and common problems
1597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1598 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1599 - added tests for this
1601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1602 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1603 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1604 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1606 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1607 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1610 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1611 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1612 is much appreciated :)
1613 - added tests for this
1615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1616 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1617 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1620 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1621 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1623 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1625 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1626 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1630 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1631 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1632 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1634 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1636 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1639 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1640 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1641 keywords because we need to localize them.
1642 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1644 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1645 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1646 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1649 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1653 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1654 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1657 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1658 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1659 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1661 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1663 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1664 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1665 bottom of your class file.
1668 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1671 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1673 - improved error message when loading modules so
1674 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1675 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1676 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1679 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1680 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1681 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1683 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1684 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1686 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1687 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1688 turn them on for you.
1689 - added tests for this
1690 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1691 in Moose::Meta::Class

1718 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1719 - This release works in combination with
1720 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1721 release because it uses the a new
1722 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1723 complete Role implementation. It has
1724 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1725 the the previous CPAN version. This
1726 release also lacks good updated docs,
1727 the official release will have updated docs.
1730 - refactored the keyword exports
1731 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1732 accepts more than one Role at a time

1738 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1739 accepts more than one Role at a time
1741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1743 string enumerations which can be used as
1745 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1748 - more careful checking of params to new()
1751 - much work done on the role composition
1752 - many new tests for conflict detection
1753 and composition edge cases
1754 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1755 looking at the tests
1757 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1758 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1759 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1761 * Moose::Meta::Class

1764 - some small additions to support Roles
1766 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1767 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1769 - some small changes to support the new
1771 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1772 with the 'handles' option
1773 - added several tests for this
1774 - no docs for this yet
1776 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1778 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1779 thanks to chansen for this commit
1780 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1781 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1782 on a per-attribute basis
1783 - added tests for this
1784 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1785 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1786 experimental feature and probably not finished

1851 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
1853 - added test for this
