1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
6 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
9 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
10 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
11 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
13 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
14 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
15 several major changes in this release of Moose.
16 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
19 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
21 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
22 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
24 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the

38 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
39 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
42 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
43 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
45 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

58 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
59 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
62 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
63 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
64 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
65 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
66 coincidental exception. (t0m).
67 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
69 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
70 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
72 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
74 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
75 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
79 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required

82 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
84 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

91 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
92 - added test for this (t0m)
94 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

96 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
98 - added test for this (t0m)
101 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
102 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
103 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
107 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
109 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
111 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
114 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
115 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
116 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
118 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

125 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
129 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
130 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to

167 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
168 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

189 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
190 ... this is not my day today ...
192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
193 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
194 clone_and_inherit options still works for
195 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
196 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
199 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
200 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
201 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

206 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
208 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
209 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

211 this is not ever something you want to do
212 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

241 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
242 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
243 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
244 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
245 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
246 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
247 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
248 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
249 - added tests for this
251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
252 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

331 changes in this release
333 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
334 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
335 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

435 show where the error is (thanks mst)
438 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
439 ->body when looping through the
440 methods, to avoid the overloaded

757 still retain the original as well)
759 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints
760 - added this module (see above)
763 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
764 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
767 - fixed bug when passing a list of values to
768 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
769 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)
770 - added tests for this (Sartak again)
772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
773 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
774 Moose::Meta::Attribute
775 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

784 - added this module to support the refactor
785 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
788 - refactored how these types are handled so they
789 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
793 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
795 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
796 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
797 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

817 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
818 types without having to explictly define them
819 - added tests for this
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
822 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
823 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
825 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
826 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
827 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
828 they should inherit the parent's coercion

836 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
837 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
840 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
841 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
842 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
843 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

845 more type coercions for Union types)
847 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
849 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
850 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
851 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
852 - added tests for this.
853 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
854 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
855 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
856 - added tests for this
857 - added docs for this
859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
860 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

879 - added tests for this
882 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
883 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
886 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

926 when they encounter overriden or modified
927 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
928 - added tests for this
930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
931 - fixed the type notation parser so that
932 the | always creates a union and so is
933 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
934 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
936 - added more tests for this
938 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
941 * Parameterized Types
942 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
943 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
944 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
945 They can also be nested:
946 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
947 And work with the type unions as well:
948 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
950 * Better Framework Extendability
951 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
952 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
953 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
954 section of the Moose.pm docs.
957 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
958 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
959 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
960 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
963 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
965 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
966 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
969 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1008 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
1009 +++ with new features added as well +++
1011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1012 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of

1015 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1017 - added tests for this
1019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1020 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
1021 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
1022 can track where the type constraints are created

1025 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1026 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1028 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1029 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1030 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1031 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1045 (thanks to shlomif).
1047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1048 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1049 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

1053 - added tests for this
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1056 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1057 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

1098 (but not changing the handles option)
1099 - added tests and docs for this
1102 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1103 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1106 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1108 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1118 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1119 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1120 prototypes for functions
1121 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1122 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1132 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1135 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1136 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1137 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1138 - added tests for this
1140 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1142 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1163 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1164 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1166 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1167 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1168 so this release is just to fix that.
1171 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1172 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1173 (thanks to konobi for this)
1174 - added tests and docs
1176 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1177 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1180 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1181 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1182 - added tests for this

1184 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1185 functions to facilitate introspection.
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1188 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1189 to build the list of delegated methods
1190 correctly (and not override important
1191 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1193 - added tests and docs for this
1194 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1195 so that you can actually document your
1196 attributes and inspect them through the
1198 - added tests and docs for this
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1202 it will first look in for the class in the
1203 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1204 then default to just loading $name.
1205 - added tests and docs for this
1207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1208 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1209 - added test for this
1212 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1213 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1214 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1215 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1217 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1218 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1221 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1223 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1224 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1225 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1228 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1229 !! for this developer release to work !!
1231 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1232 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1233 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1234 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1235 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1236 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1237 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1238 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1239 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1240 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1241 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1243 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1244 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1245 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1246 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1249 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1251 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1252 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1253 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1255 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1257 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1258 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1261 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1262 called unless they actually need to be.
1263 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1264 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1265 DEMOLISH method present.
1267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1269 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1270 type constraint, which allows for a
1271 hand optimized version of the type
1272 constraint to be used when possible.
1273 - Any internally created type constraints
1274 now provide an optimized version as well.
1276 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1278 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1279 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1280 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1283 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1284 your class namespace of these exported
1287 * Moose::Meta::Class
1288 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1289 comes up during global destruction
1291 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1295 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1299 - changed how we do type checks so that
1300 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1303 - moved accessor generation methods to
1304 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1305 conform to the API changes from
1308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1309 - changed how constraints are compiled
1310 so that we do less recursion and more
1311 iteration. This makes the type check
1313 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1317 - created this from methods formerly found in
1318 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1320 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1321 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1324 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1326 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1327 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1329 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1332 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1333 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1334 - added tests for this
1335 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1336 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1337 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1338 - removed tests for this
1340 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1342 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1343 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1344 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1347 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1348 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1349 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1351 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1352 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1353 comments for more info.
1356 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1357 asked questions and common problems
1359 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1360 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1361 - added tests for this
1363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1364 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1365 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1366 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1368 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1369 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1372 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1373 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1374 is much appreciated :)
1375 - added tests for this
1377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1378 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1379 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1382 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1383 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1385 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1387 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1388 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1392 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1393 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1394 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1396 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1398 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1401 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1402 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1403 keywords because we need to localize them.
1404 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1406 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1407 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1408 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1411 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1414 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1415 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1416 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1419 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1420 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1421 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1423 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1425 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1426 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1427 bottom of your class file.
1430 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1433 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1435 - improved error message when loading modules so
1436 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1437 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1438 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1441 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1442 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1443 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1445 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1446 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1448 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1449 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1450 turn them on for you.
1451 - added tests for this
1452 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1453 in Moose::Meta::Class
1456 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1457 automatically turned on for you.

1480 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1481 - This release works in combination with
1482 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1483 release because it uses the a new
1484 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1485 complete Role implementation. It has
1486 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1487 the the previous CPAN version. This
1488 release also lacks good updated docs,
1489 the official release will have updated docs.
1492 - refactored the keyword exports
1493 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1494 accepts more than one Role at a time
1495 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1496 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1499 - refactored the keyword exports
1500 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1501 accepts more than one Role at a time
1503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1504 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1505 string enumerations which can be used as
1507 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1510 - more careful checking of params to new()
1513 - much work done on the role composition
1514 - many new tests for conflict detection
1515 and composition edge cases
1516 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1517 looking at the tests
1519 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1520 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1521 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1523 * Moose::Meta::Class
1524 - some small changes to support the new
1526 - some small additions to support Roles
1528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1529 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1531 - some small changes to support the new
1533 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1534 with the 'handles' option
1535 - added several tests for this
1536 - no docs for this yet

1540 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1541 thanks to chansen for this commit
1542 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1543 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1544 on a per-attribute basis
1545 - added tests for this
1546 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1547 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1548 experimental feature and probably not finished
1549 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
1550 more details, or ask about it on #moose
