1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
5 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
6 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
7 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
8 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
10 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
11 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
13 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
14 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
15 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
16 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
18 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
19 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
20 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
22 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
23 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
24 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
25 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
28 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
31 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
32 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
34 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
36 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
39 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
40 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
41 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
42 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
43 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
44 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
46 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
47 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
48 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
49 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
50 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
51 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
53 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
54 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
55 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
57 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
59 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
60 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
62 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
63 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
64 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
65 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
67 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
68 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
69 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
70 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
71 same methods for a single role did not work
72 right (worked just fine with multiple
74 - added test for this (stevan)
76 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
77 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
78 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
81 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
82 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
83 - added test for this (t0m)
86 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
87 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
88 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
90 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
91 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
92 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
93 - added test for this (t0m)
95 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
96 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
97 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
98 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
99 - added test for this (perigrin)
102 - create method for constructing a role
104 - added test for this (Sartak)
105 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
106 - added test for this (Sartak)
109 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
111 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
112 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
113 methods is useful (Sartak)
115 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
117 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
121 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
122 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
123 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
124 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
125 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
126 - added tests for this (jdv79)
129 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
130 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
132 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
133 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
134 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
135 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
136 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
138 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
140 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
141 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
142 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
145 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
146 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
147 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
148 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
149 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
150 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
154 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
155 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
156 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
157 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
158 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
159 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
160 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
161 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
162 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
163 future. (jnapiorkowski)
165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
166 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
170 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
171 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
172 type. (jnapiorkowski)
173 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
175 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
177 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
178 predicate, and link to more details sections in
179 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
181 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
182 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
185 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
186 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
187 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
190 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
191 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
193 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
195 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
196 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
199 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
200 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
205 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
206 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
209 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
212 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
213 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
214 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
215 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
216 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
217 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
218 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
220 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
221 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
222 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
224 * Roles and role application
225 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
226 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
227 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
228 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
229 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
231 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
232 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
235 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
236 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
237 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
238 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
239 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
242 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
243 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
244 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
245 changes in the Moose internals.
247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
249 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
253 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
254 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
255 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
258 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
259 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
260 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
263 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
264 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
265 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
266 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
267 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
268 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
269 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
270 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
271 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
272 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
273 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
274 constraint implementations.
276 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
280 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
281 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
282 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
283 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
284 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
285 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
286 - added tests for this (rafl)
289 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
290 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
291 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
292 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
293 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
294 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
295 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
296 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
299 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
300 - added tests for this (thepler)
302 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
303 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
304 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
305 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
310 * Moose::Meta::Method
313 * Moose::Error::Default
314 * Moose::Error::Croak
315 * Moose::Error::Confess
316 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
317 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
318 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
319 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
320 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
321 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
323 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
325 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
326 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
329 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
330 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
331 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
334 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
335 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
336 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
337 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
340 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
341 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
343 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
344 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
345 several major changes in this release of Moose.
346 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
349 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
351 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
352 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
354 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
359 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
360 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
362 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
364 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
365 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
366 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
367 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
368 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
369 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
371 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
372 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
373 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
375 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
377 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
380 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
381 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
382 dependency to 0.64_07.
384 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
385 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
386 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
389 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
393 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
394 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
395 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
396 coincidental exception. (t0m).
397 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
400 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
402 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
404 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
405 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
409 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
410 method when that method was provided by another role being
411 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
412 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
414 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
416 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
417 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
420 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
421 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
422 - added test for this (t0m)
424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
425 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
426 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
428 - added test for this (t0m)
431 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
432 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
433 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
436 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
437 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
439 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
441 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
444 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
445 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
446 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
448 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
449 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
452 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
453 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
454 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
455 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
459 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
460 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
461 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
464 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
465 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
466 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
467 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
470 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
474 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
475 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
476 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
478 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
480 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
481 created so that the process can be more easily
482 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
485 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
486 the type constraints (RT #37569)
487 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
490 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
493 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
494 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
496 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
497 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
498 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
500 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
501 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
502 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
504 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
505 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
507 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
508 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
511 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
512 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
516 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
517 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
519 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
520 ... this is not my day today ...
522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
523 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
524 clone_and_inherit options still works for
525 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
526 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
529 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
530 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
531 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
532 in this release, except the fact that it includes
533 the changes that I didn't include in the last
536 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
538 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
539 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
540 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
541 this is not ever something you want to do
542 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
543 - added tests for this (stevan)
546 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
548 - added test for this
550 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
551 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
552 - added tests for this (wreis)
554 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
555 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
556 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
557 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
559 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
560 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
561 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
564 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
566 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
568 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
572 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
573 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
574 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
575 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
576 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
577 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
578 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
579 - added tests for this
581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
582 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
583 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
584 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
586 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
589 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
590 - added tests for this (sartak)
591 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
592 install_delegation method (Stevan)
595 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
597 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
598 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
602 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
603 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
605 - Some null_constraint optimizations
607 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
608 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
611 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
612 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
613 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
616 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
617 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
619 - added docs for this (TODO).
620 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
621 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
622 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
623 - fix builder and default both being used
628 Moose::Meta::Attribute
630 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
631 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
632 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
636 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
640 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
641 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
642 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
645 - move the ClassName type check code to
646 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
648 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
649 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
651 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
652 (early morning release engineering)--
654 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
655 which was causing the indexer to choke
657 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
658 (late night release engineering)--
660 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
661 changes in this release
663 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
664 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
665 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
668 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
669 since it is called so often by &meta
673 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
674 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
677 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
678 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
679 method for immutablization to check if the
680 destructor object even needs to be created
683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
684 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
685 - added more descriptive error message to help
686 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
687 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
689 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
691 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
692 XS based functionality is now optional
693 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
694 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
695 can now be used to force non-XS versions
697 - several of the packages have been tweaked
698 to take care of this, mostly we added
699 support for the package_name and name
700 variables in all the Method metaclasses

710 the stack trace is usually not helpful
713 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
714 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
715 the stack trace is usually not helpful

916 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
918 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

960 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
961 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
962 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
963 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1256 when they encounter overriden or modified
1257 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1258 - added tests for this
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1266 - added more tests for this
1268 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1271 * Parameterized Types
1272 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1273 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1274 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1275 They can also be nested:
1276 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1277 And work with the type unions as well:
1278 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1280 * Better Framework Extendability
1281 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1282 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1283 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1284 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1287 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1288 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1289 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1290 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1419 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1420 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1422 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1423 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1424 to the 'handles' option.
1425 - added tests and docs for this
1426 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
1427 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
1428 (but not changing the handles option)
1429 - added tests and docs for this
1432 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1433 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1434 - adjusted tests for this
1436 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1438 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1441 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
1442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1443 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
1444 the other side (perigrin)
1446 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1448 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1449 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1450 prototypes for functions
1451 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1452 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1453 - added tests and docs for this
1454 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
1455 default for where be { 1 }

1460 merlyn for finding this bug
1461 - tests added for this
1462 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1465 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1466 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1467 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1468 - added tests for this
1470 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1472 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1488 * Moose::Meta::Class
1489 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1490 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for

1493 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1494 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1496 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1497 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1498 so this release is just to fix that.
1501 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1502 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1503 (thanks to konobi for this)
1504 - added tests and docs

1515 functions to facilitate introspection.
1517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1518 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1519 to build the list of delegated methods
1520 correctly (and not override important
1521 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1523 - added tests and docs for this
1524 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1525 so that you can actually document your
1526 attributes and inspect them through the
1528 - added tests and docs for this
1530 * Moose::Meta::Class
1531 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1532 it will first look in for the class in the
1533 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1534 then default to just loading $name.
1535 - added tests and docs for this
1537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1538 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1539 - added test for this
1542 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1543 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1544 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1545 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1547 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1548 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1551 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1553 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1554 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1555 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1558 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1559 !! for this developer release to work !!
1561 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1562 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1563 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1564 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1565 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1566 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1567 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1568 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1569 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1570 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1571 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1573 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1574 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1575 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1576 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1579 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1581 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1582 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1583 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1585 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1587 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1588 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1591 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1592 called unless they actually need to be.
1593 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1594 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1595 DEMOLISH method present.
1597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1598 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1599 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1600 type constraint, which allows for a
1601 hand optimized version of the type
1602 constraint to be used when possible.
1603 - Any internally created type constraints
1604 now provide an optimized version as well.
1606 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1608 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1609 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1610 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1613 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1614 your class namespace of these exported
1617 * Moose::Meta::Class
1618 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1619 comes up during global destruction
1621 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1625 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1628 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1629 - changed how we do type checks so that
1630 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1633 - moved accessor generation methods to
1634 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1635 conform to the API changes from
1638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1639 - changed how constraints are compiled
1640 so that we do less recursion and more
1641 iteration. This makes the type check
1643 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1647 - created this from methods formerly found in
1648 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1650 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1651 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1654 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1657 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1659 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1662 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1663 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1664 - added tests for this
1665 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1666 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1667 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1668 - removed tests for this
1670 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1672 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1673 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1674 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1677 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1678 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1679 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1681 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1682 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1683 comments for more info.
1686 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1687 asked questions and common problems
1689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1690 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1691 - added tests for this
1693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1694 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1695 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1696 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1698 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1699 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1702 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1703 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1704 is much appreciated :)
1705 - added tests for this
1707 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1708 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1709 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1713 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1715 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1717 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1718 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1722 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1723 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1724 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1726 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1728 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1731 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1732 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1733 keywords because we need to localize them.
1734 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1736 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1737 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1738 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1741 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1745 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1746 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1749 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1750 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1751 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1753 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1755 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1756 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1757 bottom of your class file.
1760 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1763 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1765 - improved error message when loading modules so
1766 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1767 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1768 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1771 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1772 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1773 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1775 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1776 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1778 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1779 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1780 turn them on for you.
1781 - added tests for this

1810 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1811 - This release works in combination with
1812 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1813 release because it uses the a new
1814 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1815 complete Role implementation. It has
1816 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1817 the the previous CPAN version. This
1818 release also lacks good updated docs,
1819 the official release will have updated docs.
1822 - refactored the keyword exports
1823 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1824 accepts more than one Role at a time

1830 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1831 accepts more than one Role at a time
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1835 string enumerations which can be used as
1837 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1840 - more careful checking of params to new()
1843 - much work done on the role composition
1844 - many new tests for conflict detection
1845 and composition edge cases
1846 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1847 looking at the tests
1849 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1850 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1851 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1853 * Moose::Meta::Class

1861 - some small changes to support the new
1863 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1864 with the 'handles' option

1872 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1873 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1874 on a per-attribute basis
1875 - added tests for this
1876 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1877 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1878 experimental feature and probably not finished
