1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.56, all
6 XS based functionality is now optional
7 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
8 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
9 can now be used to force non-XS versions
11 - several of the packages have been tweaked
12 to take care of this, mostly we added
13 support for the package_name and name
14 variables in all the Method metaclasses
15 - before/around/after method modifiers now
16 support regexp matching of names
17 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
18 - tests added for this
19 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
20 is currently not supported in roles,
21 but, ... patches welcome
23 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
24 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
25 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
29 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
33 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
35 - added tests for this
36 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
37 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
39 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
40 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
41 themselves parameterizable types
43 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
44 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
45 called by the inlined immutable
47 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
49 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
50 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
51 (if possible) to create the anon-class
52 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
55 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
56 causing occasional cpantester failures
58 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
60 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
61 show where the error is (thanks mst)
64 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
65 ->body when looping through the
66 methods, to avoid the overloaded
68 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
69 eating the $@ values, and so not
70 working correctly, it still kind of
71 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
72 - added tests for this
74 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
75 - added new recipe for immutable
76 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
78 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

89 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
90 since Module::Install has done that.
92 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
94 drink more coffee before
95 doing release engineering
97 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
98 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
99 modules. This fixes that.
101 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
102 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
103 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

212 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
214 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
215 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
216 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

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

552 when they encounter overriden or modified
553 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
554 - added tests for this
556 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
557 - fixed the type notation parser so that
558 the | always creates a union and so is
559 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
560 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
562 - added more tests for this
564 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
567 * Parameterized Types
568 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
569 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
570 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
571 They can also be nested:
572 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
573 And work with the type unions as well:
574 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
576 * Better Framework Extendability
577 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
578 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
579 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
580 section of the Moose.pm docs.
583 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
584 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
585 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
586 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

755 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
756 merlyn for finding this bug
757 - tests added for this
758 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
761 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
762 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
763 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
764 - added tests for this
766 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
768 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

781 where not handled correctly in roles
782 - added tests for this
785 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
786 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
787 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
789 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
790 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
792 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
793 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
794 so this release is just to fix that.
797 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
798 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
799 (thanks to konobi for this)
800 - added tests and docs
802 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

810 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
811 functions to facilitate introspection.
813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

816 correctly (and not override important
817 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
819 - added tests and docs for this
820 - added the 'documentation' attributes
821 so that you can actually document your
822 attributes and inspect them through the
824 - added tests and docs for this
827 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
828 it will first look in for the class in the
829 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
830 then default to just loading $name.
831 - added tests and docs for this
833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
834 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
835 - added test for this
838 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
839 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
840 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.

843 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
844 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
847 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
849 - added tests to show types and subtypes
850 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
851 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
854 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
855 !! for this developer release to work !!
857 This release was primarily adding the immutable
858 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
859 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
860 as immutable it will perform various bits of
861 memoization and inline certain part of the code
862 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
863 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
864 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
865 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
866 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
867 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
869 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
870 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
871 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
872 truely interested in what was changed, please do
875 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
876 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
877 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
878 are have a type constraint and lazy.
879 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
881 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
883 There are some speed improvements in this release,
884 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
887 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
888 called unless they actually need to be.
889 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
890 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
891 DEMOLISH method present.
893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
894 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
895 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
896 type constraint, which allows for a
897 hand optimized version of the type
898 constraint to be used when possible.
899 - Any internally created type constraints
900 now provide an optimized version as well.
902 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
904 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
905 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
906 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
908 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
909 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
910 your class namespace of these exported
914 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
915 comes up during global destruction
917 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
921 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
925 - changed how we do type checks so that
926 we reduce the overall cost, but still
929 - moved accessor generation methods to
930 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
931 conform to the API changes from
934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
935 - changed how constraints are compiled
936 so that we do less recursion and more
937 iteration. This makes the type check
939 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
943 - created this from methods formerly found in
944 Moose::Meta::Attribute
946 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
947 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
950 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

953 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
955 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
958 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
959 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
960 - added tests for this
961 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
962 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
963 broke predicates in an ugly way.
964 - removed tests for this
966 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
968 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
969 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
970 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
973 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
974 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
975 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
977 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
978 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
979 comments for more info.
982 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
983 asked questions and common problems
985 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
986 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
987 - added tests for this
989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
990 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
991 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
992 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
994 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
995 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
998 - added basic support for runtime role composition
999 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1000 is much appreciated :)
1001 - added tests for this
1003 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1004 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1005 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1009 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1011 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1013 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1014 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1018 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1019 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1020 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1022 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1024 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1027 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1028 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1029 keywords because we need to localize them.
1030 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1032 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1033 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1034 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1037 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1041 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1042 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1045 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1046 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1047 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1049 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1051 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1052 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1053 bottom of your class file.
1056 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1059 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1061 - improved error message when loading modules so
1062 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1063 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1064 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1067 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1068 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1069 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1072 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1074 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer

1106 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1107 - This release works in combination with
1108 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1109 release because it uses the a new
1110 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1111 complete Role implementation. It has
1112 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1113 the the previous CPAN version. This
1114 release also lacks good updated docs,
1115 the official release will have updated docs.
1118 - refactored the keyword exports
1119 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1120 accepts more than one Role at a time

1131 string enumerations which can be used as
1133 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t

1139 - much work done on the role composition
1140 - many new tests for conflict detection
1141 and composition edge cases
1142 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1143 looking at the tests

1168 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1169 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1170 on a per-attribute basis
1171 - added tests for this
1172 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1173 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1174 experimental feature and probably not finished

1176 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1177 - added tests for this
