1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
6 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
7 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
10 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
11 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
12 - added more descriptive error message to help
13 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
14 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
16 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
18 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.56, all
19 XS based functionality is now optional
20 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
21 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
22 can now be used to force non-XS versions
24 - several of the packages have been tweaked
25 to take care of this, mostly we added
26 support for the package_name and name
27 variables in all the Method metaclasses
28 - before/around/after method modifiers now
29 support regexp matching of names
30 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
31 - tests added for this
32 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
33 is currently not supported in roles,
34 but, ... patches welcome
35 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
36 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
37 the stack trace is usually not helpful
40 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
41 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
42 the stack trace is usually not helpful
43 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
44 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
45 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
48 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
49 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
50 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
54 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
58 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
60 - added tests for this
61 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
62 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
64 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

69 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
70 called by the inlined immutable
72 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
74 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
75 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
76 (if possible) to create the anon-class
77 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
79 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
80 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
84 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
85 causing occasional cpantester failures
86 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
87 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
89 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
91 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
92 show where the error is (thanks mst)
95 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
96 ->body when looping through the
97 methods, to avoid the overloaded
99 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
100 eating the $@ values, and so not
101 working correctly, it still kind of
102 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
103 - added tests for this
105 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
106 - added new recipe for immutable
107 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

125 drink more coffee before
126 doing release engineering
128 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

241 - I hate Pod::Coverage
243 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
245 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
246 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

285 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
288 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
289 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
290 it ever did this originally, this means we now

583 when they encounter overriden or modified
584 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
585 - added tests for this
587 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
588 - fixed the type notation parser so that
589 the | always creates a union and so is
590 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
591 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
593 - added more tests for this
595 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
598 * Parameterized Types
599 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
600 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
601 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
602 They can also be nested:
603 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
604 And work with the type unions as well:
605 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
607 * Better Framework Extendability
608 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
609 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
610 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
611 section of the Moose.pm docs.
614 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
615 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
616 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
617 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

755 (but not changing the handles option)
756 - added tests and docs for this
759 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
760 so that required methods can come from superclasses
761 - adjusted tests for this
763 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
765 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
767 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
768 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
769 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
770 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
771 the other side (perigrin)
773 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
775 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
776 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
777 prototypes for functions
778 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
779 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
780 - added tests and docs for this
781 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
782 default for where be { 1 }
783 - added test for this

787 merlyn for finding this bug
788 - tests added for this
789 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
792 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
793 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
794 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
795 - added tests for this
797 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
799 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

812 where not handled correctly in roles
813 - added tests for this
816 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
817 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
818 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
820 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
821 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
823 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
824 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
825 so this release is just to fix that.
828 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
829 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
830 (thanks to konobi for this)
831 - added tests and docs
833 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
834 ~~ More documentation updates ~~

841 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
842 functions to facilitate introspection.
844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

847 correctly (and not override important
848 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
850 - added tests and docs for this
851 - added the 'documentation' attributes
852 so that you can actually document your
853 attributes and inspect them through the
855 - added tests and docs for this
858 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
859 it will first look in for the class in the
860 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
861 then default to just loading $name.
862 - added tests and docs for this
864 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
865 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
866 - added test for this
869 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
870 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
871 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.

874 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
875 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
878 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
880 - added tests to show types and subtypes
881 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
882 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
885 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
886 !! for this developer release to work !!
888 This release was primarily adding the immutable
889 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
890 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
891 as immutable it will perform various bits of
892 memoization and inline certain part of the code
893 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
894 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
895 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
896 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
897 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
898 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
900 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
901 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
902 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
903 truely interested in what was changed, please do
906 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
908 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
909 are have a type constraint and lazy.
910 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
912 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
914 There are some speed improvements in this release,
915 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
918 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
919 called unless they actually need to be.
920 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
921 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
922 DEMOLISH method present.
924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
926 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
927 type constraint, which allows for a
928 hand optimized version of the type
929 constraint to be used when possible.
930 - Any internally created type constraints
931 now provide an optimized version as well.
933 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
935 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
936 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
937 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
939 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
940 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
941 your class namespace of these exported
945 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
946 comes up during global destruction
948 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
952 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
956 - changed how we do type checks so that
957 we reduce the overall cost, but still
960 - moved accessor generation methods to
961 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
962 conform to the API changes from
965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
966 - changed how constraints are compiled
967 so that we do less recursion and more
968 iteration. This makes the type check
970 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
974 - created this from methods formerly found in
975 Moose::Meta::Attribute
977 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
978 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
980 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
981 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
984 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
986 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
989 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
990 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
991 - added tests for this
992 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
993 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
994 broke predicates in an ugly way.
995 - removed tests for this
997 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
999 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1000 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1001 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1004 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1005 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1006 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1008 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1009 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1010 comments for more info.
1013 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1014 asked questions and common problems
1016 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1017 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1018 - added tests for this
1020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1021 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1022 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1023 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1025 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1026 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1029 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1030 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1031 is much appreciated :)
1032 - added tests for this
1034 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1035 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1036 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1040 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1042 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1044 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1045 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1049 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1050 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1051 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1053 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1055 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1058 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1059 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1060 keywords because we need to localize them.
1061 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1063 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1064 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1065 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1068 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1071 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1072 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1073 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1076 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1077 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1078 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1080 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1082 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1083 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1084 bottom of your class file.
1087 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1090 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1092 - improved error message when loading modules so
1093 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1094 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1095 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1098 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1099 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1100 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1103 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1105 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer

1107 turn them on for you.
1108 - added tests for this

1137 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1138 - This release works in combination with
1139 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1140 release because it uses the a new
1141 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1142 complete Role implementation. It has
1143 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1144 the the previous CPAN version. This
1145 release also lacks good updated docs,
1146 the official release will have updated docs.
1149 - refactored the keyword exports
1150 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1151 accepts more than one Role at a time

1162 string enumerations which can be used as
1164 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1167 - more careful checking of params to new()
1170 - much work done on the role composition
1171 - many new tests for conflict detection
1172 and composition edge cases
1173 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1174 looking at the tests
1176 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1177 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1178 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1180 * Moose::Meta::Class

1188 - some small changes to support the new
1190 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1191 with the 'handles' option

1197 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1198 thanks to chansen for this commit
1199 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1200 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1201 on a per-attribute basis
1202 - added tests for this
1203 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1204 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1205 experimental feature and probably not finished

1207 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1208 - added tests for this
