1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
3 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
4 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
5 several major changes in this release of Moose.
6 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
9 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
11 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
12 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
14 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
19 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
20 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

24 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
25 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
26 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
27 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
28 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
29 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
31 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
32 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
33 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
35 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
36 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
37 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
40 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
41 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
42 dependency to 0.64_07.
44 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
45 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
46 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
48 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
49 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
52 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
53 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
54 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
55 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
56 coincidental exception. (t0m).
57 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
59 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
60 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
62 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
64 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
65 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
69 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
70 method when that method was provided by another role being
71 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
72 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
74 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
76 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
77 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
79 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
80 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
81 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
82 - added test for this (t0m)
84 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
85 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
86 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
88 - added test for this (t0m)
91 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
92 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
93 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
96 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
97 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
99 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
101 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
104 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
105 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
106 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
108 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
109 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
112 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
113 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
114 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
115 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
119 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
120 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
121 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
124 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
125 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
126 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
127 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
130 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
134 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
135 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
136 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
138 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008

149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
150 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
153 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
154 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
156 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
157 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
158 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
160 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

176 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
177 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
179 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
180 ... this is not my day today ...
182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
183 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
184 clone_and_inherit options still works for
185 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
186 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
189 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
190 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
191 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
192 in this release, except the fact that it includes
193 the changes that I didn't include in the last
196 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
198 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
199 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
200 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
201 this is not ever something you want to do
202 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

231 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
232 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
233 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
234 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
235 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
236 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
237 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
238 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
239 - added tests for this
241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
242 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
243 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

320 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
321 changes in this release
323 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
324 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
325 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

366 is currently not supported in roles,
367 but, ... patches welcome
368 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
369 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
370 the stack trace is usually not helpful

374 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
375 the stack trace is usually not helpful

425 show where the error is (thanks mst)
428 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
429 ->body when looping through the
430 methods, to avoid the overloaded

762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
763 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
764 Moose::Meta::Attribute

771 (thanks to nothingmuch)
773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
774 - added this module to support the refactor
775 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
778 - refactored how these types are handled so they
779 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
783 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
785 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
786 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
787 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

802 HashRef for containers (sartak)
803 - added tests for this
805 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

807 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
808 types without having to explictly define them
809 - added tests for this
811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
812 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
813 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
815 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
816 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

826 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
827 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
830 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
831 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
832 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
833 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

835 more type coercions for Union types)
837 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
839 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
840 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
841 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
842 - added tests for this.
843 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
844 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
845 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
846 - added tests for this
847 - added docs for this
849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
850 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

854 - added docs for this
856 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
858 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

869 - added tests for this
872 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
873 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
876 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

912 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
915 - fixed how required methods are handled
916 when they encounter overriden or modified
917 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
918 - added tests for this
920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
921 - fixed the type notation parser so that
922 the | always creates a union and so is
923 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
924 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
926 - added more tests for this
928 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
931 * Parameterized Types
932 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
933 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
934 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
935 They can also be nested:
936 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
937 And work with the type unions as well:
938 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
940 * Better Framework Extendability
941 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
942 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
943 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
944 section of the Moose.pm docs.
947 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
948 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
949 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
950 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
953 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
955 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
956 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

995 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
996 - updated the accompanying test as well
998 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
999 +++ with new features added as well +++
1001 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1015 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1016 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1018 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1019 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

1035 (thanks to shlomif).
1037 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1038 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1039 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

1097 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1098 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1104 the other side (perigrin)
1106 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1108 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1109 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1110 prototypes for functions
1111 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1112 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1122 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1125 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1126 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1127 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1128 - added tests for this
1130 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1132 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1154 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1156 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1157 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1158 so this release is just to fix that.
1161 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1162 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1163 (thanks to konobi for this)
1164 - added tests and docs
1166 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1167 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1170 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1171 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1172 - added tests for this

1174 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1175 functions to facilitate introspection.
1177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1178 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1179 to build the list of delegated methods
1180 correctly (and not override important
1181 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1183 - added tests and docs for this
1184 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1185 so that you can actually document your
1186 attributes and inspect them through the
1188 - added tests and docs for this
1190 * Moose::Meta::Class
1191 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1192 it will first look in for the class in the
1193 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1194 then default to just loading $name.
1195 - added tests and docs for this
1197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1198 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1199 - added test for this
1202 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1203 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1204 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1205 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1207 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1208 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1211 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1213 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1214 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1215 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1218 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1219 !! for this developer release to work !!
1221 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1222 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1223 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1224 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1225 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1226 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1227 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1228 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1229 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1230 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1231 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1233 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1234 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1235 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1236 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1239 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1241 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1242 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1243 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1245 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1247 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1248 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1251 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1252 called unless they actually need to be.
1253 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1254 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1255 DEMOLISH method present.
1257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1259 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1260 type constraint, which allows for a
1261 hand optimized version of the type
1262 constraint to be used when possible.
1263 - Any internally created type constraints
1264 now provide an optimized version as well.
1266 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1268 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1269 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1270 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1273 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1274 your class namespace of these exported
1277 * Moose::Meta::Class
1278 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1279 comes up during global destruction
1281 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1285 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1289 - changed how we do type checks so that
1290 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1293 - moved accessor generation methods to
1294 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1295 conform to the API changes from
1298 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1299 - changed how constraints are compiled
1300 so that we do less recursion and more
1301 iteration. This makes the type check
1303 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1307 - created this from methods formerly found in
1308 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1310 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1311 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1314 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1317 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1319 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1321 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1322 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1323 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1324 - added tests for this
1325 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1326 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1327 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1328 - removed tests for this
1330 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1332 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1333 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1334 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1337 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1338 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1339 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1341 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1342 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1343 comments for more info.
1346 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1347 asked questions and common problems
1349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1350 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1351 - added tests for this
1353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1354 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1355 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1356 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1358 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1359 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1362 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1363 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1364 is much appreciated :)
1365 - added tests for this
1367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1368 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1369 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1373 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1375 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1377 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1378 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1382 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1383 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1384 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1386 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1388 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1391 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1392 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1393 keywords because we need to localize them.
1394 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1396 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1397 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1398 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1401 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1405 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1406 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1409 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1410 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1411 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1413 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1415 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1416 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1417 bottom of your class file.
1420 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1423 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1425 - improved error message when loading modules so
1426 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1427 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1428 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1431 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1432 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1433 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1435 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1436 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1438 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1439 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1440 turn them on for you.
1441 - added tests for this
1442 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1443 in Moose::Meta::Class

1472 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1473 release because it uses the a new
1474 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1475 complete Role implementation. It has
1476 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1477 the the previous CPAN version. This
1478 release also lacks good updated docs,
1479 the official release will have updated docs.
1482 - refactored the keyword exports
1483 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1484 accepts more than one Role at a time
1485 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1486 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1489 - refactored the keyword exports
1490 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1491 accepts more than one Role at a time
1493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1494 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1495 string enumerations which can be used as
1497 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1500 - more careful checking of params to new()
1503 - much work done on the role composition
1504 - many new tests for conflict detection
1505 and composition edge cases
1506 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1507 looking at the tests
1509 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1510 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1511 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1513 * Moose::Meta::Class
1514 - some small changes to support the new
1516 - some small additions to support Roles
1518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1519 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1521 - some small changes to support the new
1523 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1524 with the 'handles' option
1525 - added several tests for this
1526 - no docs for this yet

1530 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1531 thanks to chansen for this commit
1532 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1533 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1534 on a per-attribute basis
1535 - added tests for this
1536 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1537 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1538 experimental feature and probably not finished
1539 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
1540 more details, or ask about it on #moose
