1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
5 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
7 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
9 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
11 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
13 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
16 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
17 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
18 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
19 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
20 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
21 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
23 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
24 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
25 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
26 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
27 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
28 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
30 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
31 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
32 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
34 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
36 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
37 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
39 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
40 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
41 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
42 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
44 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
45 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
46 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
47 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
48 same methods for a single role did not work
49 right (worked just fine with multiple
51 - added test for this (stevan)
53 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
54 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
55 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
58 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
59 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
60 - added test for this (t0m)
63 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
64 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
65 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
67 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
68 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
69 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
70 - added test for this (t0m)
72 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
73 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
74 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
75 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
76 - added test for this (perigrin)
79 - create method for constructing a role
81 - added test for this (Sartak)
82 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
83 - added test for this (Sartak)
86 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
88 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
89 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
90 methods is useful (Sartak)
92 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
93 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
94 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
98 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
99 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
100 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
101 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
102 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
103 - added tests for this (jdv79)
106 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
107 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
109 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
110 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
111 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
112 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
113 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
115 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
117 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
118 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
119 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
122 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
123 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
124 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
125 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
126 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
127 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
131 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
132 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
133 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
134 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
135 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
136 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
137 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
138 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
139 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
140 future. (jnapiorkowski)
142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
143 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
147 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
148 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
149 type. (jnapiorkowski)
150 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
152 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
154 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
155 predicate, and link to more details sections in
156 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
159 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
162 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
163 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
164 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
167 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
168 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
170 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
172 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
173 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
176 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
177 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
180 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
182 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
183 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
186 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
189 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
190 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
191 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
192 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
193 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
194 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
195 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
197 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
198 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
199 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
201 * Roles and role application
202 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
203 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
204 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
205 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
206 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
208 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
209 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
212 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
213 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
214 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
215 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
216 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
219 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
220 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
221 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
222 changes in the Moose internals.
224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
226 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
229 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
230 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
231 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
232 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
235 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
236 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
237 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
240 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
241 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
242 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
243 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
244 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
245 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
246 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
247 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
248 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
249 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
250 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
251 constraint implementations.
253 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
257 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
258 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
259 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
260 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
261 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
262 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
263 - added tests for this (rafl)
266 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
267 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
268 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
269 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
270 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
271 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
272 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
273 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
276 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
277 - added tests for this (thepler)
279 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
280 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
281 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
282 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
287 * Moose::Meta::Method
290 * Moose::Error::Default
291 * Moose::Error::Croak
292 * Moose::Error::Confess
293 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
294 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
295 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
296 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
297 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
298 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
300 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
302 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
303 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
306 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
307 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
308 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
311 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
312 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
313 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
314 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
317 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
318 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
320 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
321 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
322 several major changes in this release of Moose.
323 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
326 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
328 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
329 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
331 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
336 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
337 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
339 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
341 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
342 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
343 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
344 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
345 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
346 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
348 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
349 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
350 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
352 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
354 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
357 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
358 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
359 dependency to 0.64_07.
361 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
362 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
363 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
366 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
369 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
370 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
371 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
372 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
373 coincidental exception. (t0m).
374 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
377 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
379 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
381 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
382 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
386 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
387 method when that method was provided by another role being
388 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
389 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
391 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
393 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
394 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
397 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
398 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
399 - added test for this (t0m)
401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
402 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
403 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
405 - added test for this (t0m)
408 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
409 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
410 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
413 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
414 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
416 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
418 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
421 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
422 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
423 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
425 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
426 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
429 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
430 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
431 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
432 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
436 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
437 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
438 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
441 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
442 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
443 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
444 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
447 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
451 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
452 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
453 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
455 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
457 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
458 created so that the process can be more easily
459 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
462 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
463 the type constraints (RT #37569)
464 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
467 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
470 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
471 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
473 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
474 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
475 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
477 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
478 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
479 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
481 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
482 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
484 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
485 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
488 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
489 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
493 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
494 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
496 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
497 ... this is not my day today ...
499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
500 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
501 clone_and_inherit options still works for
502 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
503 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
506 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
507 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
508 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
509 in this release, except the fact that it includes
510 the changes that I didn't include in the last
513 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
515 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
516 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
517 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
518 this is not ever something you want to do
519 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
520 - added tests for this (stevan)
523 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
525 - added test for this
527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
528 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
529 - added tests for this (wreis)
531 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
532 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
533 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
534 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
536 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
537 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
538 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
541 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
543 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
545 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
548 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
549 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
550 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
551 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
552 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
553 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
554 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
555 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
556 - added tests for this
558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
559 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
560 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
561 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
563 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
565 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
566 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
567 - added tests for this (sartak)
568 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
569 install_delegation method (Stevan)
572 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
574 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
575 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
579 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
580 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
582 - Some null_constraint optimizations
584 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
585 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
588 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
589 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
590 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
593 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
594 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
596 - added docs for this (TODO).
597 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
598 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
599 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
600 - fix builder and default both being used
605 Moose::Meta::Attribute
607 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
608 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
609 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
613 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
617 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
618 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
619 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
622 - move the ClassName type check code to
623 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
625 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
626 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
628 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
629 (early morning release engineering)--
631 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
632 which was causing the indexer to choke
634 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
635 (late night release engineering)--
637 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
638 changes in this release
640 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
641 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
642 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
645 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
646 since it is called so often by &meta
650 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
651 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
655 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
656 method for immutablization to check if the
657 destructor object even needs to be created
660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
661 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
662 - added more descriptive error message to help
663 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
664 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
666 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
668 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
669 XS based functionality is now optional
670 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
671 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
672 can now be used to force non-XS versions
674 - several of the packages have been tweaked
675 to take care of this, mostly we added
676 support for the package_name and name
677 variables in all the Method metaclasses
678 - before/around/after method modifiers now
679 support regexp matching of names
680 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
681 - tests added for this
682 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
683 is currently not supported in roles,
684 but, ... patches welcome
685 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
686 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
687 the stack trace is usually not helpful
690 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
691 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
692 the stack trace is usually not helpful
693 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
694 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
695 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
696 - added test for this
698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
699 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
700 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the

893 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
895 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
896 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
897 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

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

1233 when they encounter overriden or modified
1234 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1235 - added tests for this
1237 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1241 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1243 - added more tests for this
1245 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1248 * Parameterized Types
1249 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1250 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1251 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1252 They can also be nested:
1253 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1254 And work with the type unions as well:
1255 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1257 * Better Framework Extendability
1258 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1259 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1260 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1261 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1264 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1265 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1266 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1267 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1413 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1415 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
1416 * Moose::Meta::Class
1417 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
1418 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
1419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1420 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
1421 the other side (perigrin)
1423 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1425 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1426 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1427 prototypes for functions
1428 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1429 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1430 - added tests and docs for this
1431 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
1432 default for where be { 1 }
1433 - added test for this
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1436 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
1437 merlyn for finding this bug
1438 - tests added for this
1439 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1442 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1443 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1444 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1445 - added tests for this
1447 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1449 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1461 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
1462 where not handled correctly in roles
1463 - added tests for this
1465 * Moose::Meta::Class
1466 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1467 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1468 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1470 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1471 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1473 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1474 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1475 so this release is just to fix that.
1478 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1479 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1480 (thanks to konobi for this)
1481 - added tests and docs
1483 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1491 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1492 functions to facilitate introspection.
1494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1495 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1496 to build the list of delegated methods
1497 correctly (and not override important
1498 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1500 - added tests and docs for this
1501 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1502 so that you can actually document your
1503 attributes and inspect them through the
1505 - added tests and docs for this
1507 * Moose::Meta::Class
1508 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1509 it will first look in for the class in the
1510 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1511 then default to just loading $name.
1512 - added tests and docs for this
1514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1515 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1516 - added test for this
1519 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1520 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1521 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1522 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1524 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1525 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1528 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1530 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1531 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1532 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1535 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1536 !! for this developer release to work !!
1538 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1539 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1540 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1541 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1542 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1543 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1544 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1545 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1546 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1547 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1548 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1550 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1551 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1552 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1553 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1556 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1558 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1559 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1560 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1562 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1564 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1565 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1568 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1569 called unless they actually need to be.
1570 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1571 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1572 DEMOLISH method present.
1574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1575 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1576 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1577 type constraint, which allows for a
1578 hand optimized version of the type
1579 constraint to be used when possible.
1580 - Any internally created type constraints
1581 now provide an optimized version as well.
1583 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1585 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1586 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1587 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1589 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1590 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1591 your class namespace of these exported
1594 * Moose::Meta::Class
1595 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1596 comes up during global destruction
1598 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1602 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1605 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1606 - changed how we do type checks so that
1607 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1610 - moved accessor generation methods to
1611 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1612 conform to the API changes from
1615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1616 - changed how constraints are compiled
1617 so that we do less recursion and more
1618 iteration. This makes the type check
1620 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1624 - created this from methods formerly found in
1625 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1627 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1628 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1631 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1633 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1634 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1636 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1638 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1639 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1640 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1641 - added tests for this
1642 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1643 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1644 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1645 - removed tests for this
1647 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1649 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1650 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1651 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1654 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1655 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1656 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1658 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1659 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1660 comments for more info.
1663 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1664 asked questions and common problems
1666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1667 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1668 - added tests for this
1670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1671 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1672 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1673 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1675 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1676 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1679 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1680 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1681 is much appreciated :)
1682 - added tests for this
1684 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1685 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1686 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1690 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1692 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1694 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1695 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1699 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1700 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1701 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1703 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1705 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1708 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1709 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1710 keywords because we need to localize them.
1711 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1713 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1714 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1715 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1718 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1721 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1722 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1723 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1726 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1727 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1728 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1730 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1732 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1733 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1734 bottom of your class file.
1737 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1740 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1742 - improved error message when loading modules so
1743 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1744 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1745 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1748 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1749 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1750 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1752 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1753 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1755 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1756 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1757 turn them on for you.
1758 - added tests for this

1787 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1788 - This release works in combination with
1789 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1790 release because it uses the a new
1791 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1792 complete Role implementation. It has
1793 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1794 the the previous CPAN version. This
1795 release also lacks good updated docs,
1796 the official release will have updated docs.
1799 - refactored the keyword exports
1800 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1801 accepts more than one Role at a time

1807 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1808 accepts more than one Role at a time
1810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1812 string enumerations which can be used as
1814 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1817 - more careful checking of params to new()
1820 - much work done on the role composition
1821 - many new tests for conflict detection
1822 and composition edge cases
1823 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1824 looking at the tests
1826 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1827 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1828 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

1847 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1848 thanks to chansen for this commit
1849 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1850 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1851 on a per-attribute basis
1852 - added tests for this
1853 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1854 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1855 experimental feature and probably not finished

1857 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1858 - added tests for this
