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)
9 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
10 - Add some explanation for a few explanationless methods (gphat)
12 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
13 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
14 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
15 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
16 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
17 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
18 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
20 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
22 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
23 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
25 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
27 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
30 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
31 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
32 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
33 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
34 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
35 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
37 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
38 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
39 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
40 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
41 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
42 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
44 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
45 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
46 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
48 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
50 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
51 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
53 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
54 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
55 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
56 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
58 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
59 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
60 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
61 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
62 same methods for a single role did not work
63 right (worked just fine with multiple
65 - added test for this (stevan)
67 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
68 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
69 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
72 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
73 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
74 - added test for this (t0m)
77 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
78 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
79 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
81 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
82 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
83 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
84 - added test for this (t0m)
86 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
87 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
88 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
89 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
90 - added test for this (perigrin)
93 - create method for constructing a role
95 - added test for this (Sartak)
96 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
97 - added test for this (Sartak)
100 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
102 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
103 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
104 methods is useful (Sartak)
106 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
108 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
112 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
113 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
114 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
115 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
116 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
117 - added tests for this (jdv79)
120 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
121 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
123 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
124 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
125 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
126 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
127 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
129 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
131 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
132 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
133 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
136 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
137 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
138 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
139 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
140 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
141 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
145 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
146 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
147 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
148 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
149 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
150 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
151 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
152 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
153 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
154 future. (jnapiorkowski)
156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
157 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
160 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
161 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
162 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
163 type. (jnapiorkowski)
164 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
166 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
168 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
169 predicate, and link to more details sections in
170 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
173 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
176 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
177 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
178 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
181 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
182 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
184 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
186 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
187 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
190 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
191 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
194 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
196 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
197 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
199 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
200 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
203 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
204 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
205 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
206 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
207 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
208 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
209 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
211 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
212 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
213 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
215 * Roles and role application
216 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
217 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
218 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
219 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
220 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
222 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
223 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
226 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
227 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
228 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
229 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
230 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
233 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
234 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
235 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
236 changes in the Moose internals.
238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
240 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
244 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
245 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
246 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
249 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
250 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
251 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
253 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
254 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
255 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
256 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
257 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
258 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
259 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
260 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
261 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
262 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
263 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
264 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
265 constraint implementations.
267 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
271 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
272 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
273 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
274 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
275 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
276 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
277 - added tests for this (rafl)
280 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
281 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
282 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
283 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
284 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
285 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
286 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
287 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
290 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
291 - added tests for this (thepler)
293 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
294 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
295 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
296 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
301 * Moose::Meta::Method
304 * Moose::Error::Default
305 * Moose::Error::Croak
306 * Moose::Error::Confess
307 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
308 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
309 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
310 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
311 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
312 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
314 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
316 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
317 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
320 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
321 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
322 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
325 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
326 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
327 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
328 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
331 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
332 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
334 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
335 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
336 several major changes in this release of Moose.
337 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
340 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
342 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
343 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
345 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
350 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
351 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
353 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
355 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
356 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
357 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
358 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
359 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
360 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
363 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
364 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
366 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
367 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
368 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
371 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
372 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
373 dependency to 0.64_07.
375 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
376 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
377 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
379 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
380 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
383 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
384 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
385 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
386 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
387 coincidental exception. (t0m).
388 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
391 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
393 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
395 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
396 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
400 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
401 method when that method was provided by another role being
402 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
403 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
405 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
407 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
408 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
411 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
412 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
413 - added test for this (t0m)
415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
416 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
417 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
419 - added test for this (t0m)
422 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
423 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
424 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
428 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
430 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
432 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
435 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
436 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
437 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
440 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
444 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
445 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
446 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
450 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
451 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
452 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
455 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
456 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
457 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
458 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
461 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
465 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
466 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
467 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
469 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
470 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
471 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
472 created so that the process can be more easily
473 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
476 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
477 the type constraints (RT #37569)
478 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
481 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
484 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
485 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
487 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
488 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
489 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
491 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
492 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
493 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
495 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
496 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
498 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
499 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
502 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
503 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
507 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
508 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
510 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
511 ... this is not my day today ...
513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
514 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
515 clone_and_inherit options still works for
516 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
517 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
520 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
521 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
522 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
523 in this release, except the fact that it includes
524 the changes that I didn't include in the last
527 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
529 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
530 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
531 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
532 this is not ever something you want to do
533 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
534 - added tests for this (stevan)
537 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
539 - added test for this
541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
542 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
543 - added tests for this (wreis)
545 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
546 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
547 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
548 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
550 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
551 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
552 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
555 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
557 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
559 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
563 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
564 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
565 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
566 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
567 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
568 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
569 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
570 - added tests for this
572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
573 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
574 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
575 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
577 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
580 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
581 - added tests for this (sartak)
582 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
583 install_delegation method (Stevan)
586 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
588 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
589 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
592 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
593 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
594 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
596 - Some null_constraint optimizations
598 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
599 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
602 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
603 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
604 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
607 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
608 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
610 - added docs for this (TODO).
611 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
612 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
613 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
614 - fix builder and default both being used
619 Moose::Meta::Attribute
621 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
622 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
623 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
627 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
631 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
632 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
633 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
636 - move the ClassName type check code to
637 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
639 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
640 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
642 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
643 (early morning release engineering)--
645 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
646 which was causing the indexer to choke
648 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
649 (late night release engineering)--
651 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
652 changes in this release
654 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
655 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
656 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
659 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
660 since it is called so often by &meta
664 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
665 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
669 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
670 method for immutablization to check if the
671 destructor object even needs to be created
674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
675 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
676 - added more descriptive error message to help
677 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
678 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
680 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
682 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
683 XS based functionality is now optional
684 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
685 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
686 can now be used to force non-XS versions
688 - several of the packages have been tweaked
689 to take care of this, mostly we added
690 support for the package_name and name
691 variables in all the Method metaclasses
692 - before/around/after method modifiers now
693 support regexp matching of names
694 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
695 - tests added for this
696 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
697 is currently not supported in roles,
698 but, ... patches welcome
699 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
700 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
701 the stack trace is usually not helpful
704 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
705 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
706 the stack trace is usually not helpful
707 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

907 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
909 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
910 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
911 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

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

1247 when they encounter overriden or modified
1248 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1249 - added tests for this
1251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1252 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1253 the | always creates a union and so is

1255 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1257 - added more tests for this
1259 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1262 * Parameterized Types
1263 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1264 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1265 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1266 They can also be nested:
1267 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1268 And work with the type unions as well:
1269 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1271 * Better Framework Extendability
1272 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1273 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1274 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1275 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1278 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1279 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1280 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1281 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1408 - added tests for these
1410 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1411 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1414 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1415 to the 'handles' option.
1416 - added tests and docs for this
1417 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
1418 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
1419 (but not changing the handles option)
1420 - added tests and docs for this
1423 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1424 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1425 - adjusted tests for this
1427 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1429 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Class
1431 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
1432 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
1433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1434 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
1435 the other side (perigrin)
1437 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1438 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1439 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1440 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1441 prototypes for functions
1442 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1443 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1444 - added tests and docs for this
1445 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
1446 default for where be { 1 }

1449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1450 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
1451 merlyn for finding this bug
1452 - tests added for this
1453 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1456 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1457 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1458 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1459 - added tests for this
1461 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1463 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1475 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
1476 where not handled correctly in roles
1477 - added tests for this
1479 * Moose::Meta::Class
1480 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1481 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1482 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1484 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1485 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1487 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1488 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1489 so this release is just to fix that.
1492 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1493 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1494 (thanks to konobi for this)
1495 - added tests and docs
1497 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1505 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1506 functions to facilitate introspection.
1508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1509 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1510 to build the list of delegated methods
1511 correctly (and not override important
1512 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1514 - added tests and docs for this
1515 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1516 so that you can actually document your
1517 attributes and inspect them through the
1519 - added tests and docs for this
1521 * Moose::Meta::Class
1522 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1523 it will first look in for the class in the
1524 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1525 then default to just loading $name.
1526 - added tests and docs for this
1528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1529 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1530 - added test for this
1533 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1534 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1535 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1536 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1538 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1539 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1542 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1544 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1545 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1546 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1549 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1550 !! for this developer release to work !!
1552 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1553 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1554 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1555 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1556 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1557 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1558 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1559 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1560 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1561 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1562 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1564 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1565 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1566 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1567 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1570 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1571 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1572 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1573 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1574 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1576 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1578 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1579 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1582 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1583 called unless they actually need to be.
1584 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1585 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1586 DEMOLISH method present.
1588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1589 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1590 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1591 type constraint, which allows for a
1592 hand optimized version of the type
1593 constraint to be used when possible.
1594 - Any internally created type constraints
1595 now provide an optimized version as well.
1597 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1599 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1600 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1601 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1604 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1605 your class namespace of these exported
1608 * Moose::Meta::Class
1609 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1610 comes up during global destruction
1612 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1616 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1620 - changed how we do type checks so that
1621 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1624 - moved accessor generation methods to
1625 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1626 conform to the API changes from
1629 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1630 - changed how constraints are compiled
1631 so that we do less recursion and more
1632 iteration. This makes the type check
1634 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1637 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1638 - created this from methods formerly found in
1639 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1641 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1642 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1645 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1647 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1648 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1650 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1653 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1654 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1655 - added tests for this
1656 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1657 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1658 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1659 - removed tests for this
1661 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1663 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1664 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1665 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1668 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1669 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1670 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1672 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1673 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1674 comments for more info.
1677 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1678 asked questions and common problems
1680 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1681 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1682 - added tests for this
1684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1685 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1686 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1687 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1689 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1690 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1693 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1694 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1695 is much appreciated :)
1696 - added tests for this
1698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1699 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1700 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1704 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1706 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1708 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1709 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1713 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1714 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1715 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1717 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1719 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1722 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1723 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1724 keywords because we need to localize them.
1725 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1727 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1728 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1729 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1732 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1735 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1736 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1737 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1740 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1741 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1742 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1744 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1746 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1747 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1748 bottom of your class file.
1751 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1754 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1756 - improved error message when loading modules so
1757 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1758 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1759 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1762 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1763 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1764 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1766 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1767 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1769 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1770 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1771 turn them on for you.
1772 - added tests for this

1801 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1802 - This release works in combination with
1803 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1804 release because it uses the a new
1805 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1806 complete Role implementation. It has
1807 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1808 the the previous CPAN version. This
1809 release also lacks good updated docs,
1810 the official release will have updated docs.
1813 - refactored the keyword exports
1814 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1815 accepts more than one Role at a time

1821 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1822 accepts more than one Role at a time
1824 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1826 string enumerations which can be used as
1828 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1831 - more careful checking of params to new()
1834 - much work done on the role composition
1835 - many new tests for conflict detection
1836 and composition edge cases
1837 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1838 looking at the tests
1840 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1841 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1842 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1844 * Moose::Meta::Class
1845 - some small changes to support the new
1847 - some small additions to support Roles
1849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1850 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1852 - some small changes to support the new
1854 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1855 with the 'handles' option
1856 - added several tests for this
1857 - no docs for this yet

1863 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1864 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1865 on a per-attribute basis
1866 - added tests for this
1867 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1868 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
