1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual
6 goal of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
7 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
9 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
10 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
11 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
12 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
13 message. Test provided by perigrin.
15 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
16 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
17 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's suggestion
18 to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
19 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
22 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class' metaclass
23 object. (Dieter Pearcey)
25 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
26 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
27 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
28 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
29 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and point out
30 this fact. (Dieter Pearcey)
33 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
34 * No changes from 0.72_01.
36 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
38 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
39 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
40 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
42 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
43 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
44 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
46 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
48 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
49 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
51 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
52 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
55 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
56 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
59 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
60 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
61 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
63 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
64 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
65 attribute. (Dieter Pearcey)
68 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
69 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
70 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
72 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
73 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
76 * Moose::Manual::Delta
77 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
78 with recommended workarounds.
80 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
81 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
83 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
84 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
85 (yes, spelled like that).
87 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
88 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
91 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
92 changes in latest Class::MOP.
94 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
96 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
97 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
98 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
99 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
100 instead. Reported by doy.
102 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
104 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
105 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
108 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
109 message) is now deprecated.
110 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
111 often got it wrong. For example:
113 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
115 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
119 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
120 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
121 bite you in weird cases.
123 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
124 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
125 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
128 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
129 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
133 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
136 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
137 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
140 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
141 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
144 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
147 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
149 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
150 - added tests for this (stevan)
152 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
153 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
154 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
155 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
159 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
160 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
161 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
162 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
164 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
165 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
166 - added tests for this (rafl)
168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
169 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
170 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
171 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
175 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
176 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
179 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
180 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
181 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
183 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
185 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
186 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
189 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
190 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
191 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
192 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
194 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
195 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
196 error message did not specify the attribute name
199 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
201 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
203 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
204 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
205 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
207 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
208 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
211 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
213 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
214 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
215 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
216 of fixes and formatting improvements.
218 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
220 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
221 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
222 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
223 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
226 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
227 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
230 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
231 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
232 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
233 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
236 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
237 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
238 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
239 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
242 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
243 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
244 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
245 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
246 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
248 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
249 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
250 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
251 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
252 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
253 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
256 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
258 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
259 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
260 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
261 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
264 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
267 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
271 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
272 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
274 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
275 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
276 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
279 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
281 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
284 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
285 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
286 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
289 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
292 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
293 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
295 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
297 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
300 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
302 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
303 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
304 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
305 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
308 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
309 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
310 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
311 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
312 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
313 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
314 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
315 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
316 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
318 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
320 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
321 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
324 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
325 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
326 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
328 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
329 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
330 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
331 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
332 same methods for a single role did not work
333 right (worked just fine with multiple
335 - added test for this (stevan)
337 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
338 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
339 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
342 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
343 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
344 - added test for this (t0m)
347 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
348 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
349 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
352 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
353 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
354 - added test for this (t0m)
356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
357 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
358 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
359 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
360 - added test for this (perigrin)
363 - create method for constructing a role
365 - added test for this (Sartak)
366 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
367 - added test for this (Sartak)
370 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
372 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
373 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
374 methods is useful (Sartak)
376 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
378 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
382 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
383 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
384 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
385 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
386 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
387 - added tests for this (jdv79)
390 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
391 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
393 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
395 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
396 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
397 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
399 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
401 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
402 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
403 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
406 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
407 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
408 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
409 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
410 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
411 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
415 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
416 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
417 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
418 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
419 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
420 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
421 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
422 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
423 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
424 future. (jnapiorkowski)
426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
427 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
430 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
431 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
432 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
433 type. (jnapiorkowski)
434 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
436 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
438 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
439 predicate, and link to more details sections in
440 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
443 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
445 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
446 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
447 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
448 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
451 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
452 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
454 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
456 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
457 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
460 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
461 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
465 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
466 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
467 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
469 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
470 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
473 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
474 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
475 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
476 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
477 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
478 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
479 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
481 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
482 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
483 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
485 * Roles and role application
486 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
487 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
488 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
489 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
490 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
492 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
493 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
496 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
497 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
498 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
499 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
500 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
503 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
504 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
505 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
506 changes in the Moose internals.
508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
510 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
514 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
515 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
516 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
518 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
519 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
520 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
521 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
524 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
525 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
526 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
527 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
528 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
529 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
530 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
531 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
532 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
533 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
534 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
535 constraint implementations.
537 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
541 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
542 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
543 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
544 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
545 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
546 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
547 - added tests for this (rafl)
550 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
551 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
552 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
553 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
554 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
555 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
556 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
557 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
560 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
561 - added tests for this (thepler)
563 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
564 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
565 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
566 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
571 * Moose::Meta::Method
574 * Moose::Error::Default
575 * Moose::Error::Croak
576 * Moose::Error::Confess
577 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
578 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
579 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
580 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
581 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
582 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
584 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
586 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
587 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
590 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
591 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
592 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
595 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
596 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
597 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
598 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
601 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
602 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
604 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
605 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
606 several major changes in this release of Moose.
607 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
610 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
612 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
613 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
615 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
620 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
621 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
623 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
625 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
626 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
627 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
628 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
629 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
630 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
632 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
633 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
634 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
636 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
637 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
638 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
641 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
642 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
643 dependency to 0.64_07.
645 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
646 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
647 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
650 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
653 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
654 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
655 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
656 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
657 coincidental exception. (t0m).
658 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
661 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
663 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
665 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
666 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
670 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
671 method when that method was provided by another role being
672 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
673 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
675 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
677 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
678 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
681 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
682 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
683 - added test for this (t0m)
685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

687 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
689 - added test for this (t0m)

780 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
781 ... this is not my day today ...
783 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
784 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
785 clone_and_inherit options still works for
786 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
787 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
790 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
791 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
792 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

794 the changes that I didn't include in the last
797 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
799 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
800 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

832 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
833 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
834 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
835 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
836 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
837 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
838 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
839 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
840 - added tests for this
842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1026 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1029 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1030 ->body when looping through the

1177 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1179 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1219 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1403 HashRef for containers (sartak)
1404 - added tests for this
1406 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1408 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
1409 types without having to explictly define them
1410 - added tests for this
1412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1413 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
1414 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
1416 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
1419 they should inherit the parent's coercion
1420 - added tests for this
1421 - you can now define multiple coercions on
1422 a single type at different times instead of
1423 having to do it all in one place
1424 - added tests for this
1426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1427 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1428 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1431 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1433 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1434 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
1435 new features above (although you cannot add
1436 more type coercions for Union types)
1438 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1440 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
1441 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
1442 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
1443 - added tests for this.
1444 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
1445 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
1446 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
1447 - added tests for this
1448 - added docs for this
1450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1451 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1452 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1453 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1454 instead it will just return undef.
1455 - added docs for this
1457 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

1469 with work correctly.
1470 - added tests for this
1473 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1474 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1477 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1478 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1479 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1481 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
1482 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1513 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1516 - fixed how required methods are handled
1517 when they encounter overriden or modified
1518 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1519 - added tests for this
1521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1522 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1523 the | always creates a union and so is
1524 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1525 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1527 - added more tests for this
1529 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1532 * Parameterized Types
1533 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1534 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1535 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1536 They can also be nested:
1537 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1538 And work with the type unions as well:
1539 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1541 * Better Framework Extendability
1542 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1543 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1544 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1545 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1548 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1549 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1550 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1551 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1554 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1556 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1557 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1592 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
1593 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
1595 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
1596 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

1616 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1617 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1619 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1620 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1621 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1622 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1636 (thanks to shlomif).
1638 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1639 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1640 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
1641 - added tests for this

1644 - added tests for this
1646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1678 - added tests for these
1680 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1681 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1684 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1685 to the 'handles' option.
1686 - added tests and docs for this

1689 (but not changing the handles option)
1690 - added tests and docs for this
1693 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1694 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1697 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1699 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1705 the other side (perigrin)
1707 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1709 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1710 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1711 prototypes for functions
1712 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1713 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1723 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1726 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1727 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1728 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1729 - added tests for this
1731 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1733 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1751 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1752 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1754 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1755 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1757 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1758 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1759 so this release is just to fix that.
1762 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1763 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1764 (thanks to konobi for this)
1765 - added tests and docs
1767 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1775 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1776 functions to facilitate introspection.
1778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1779 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1780 to build the list of delegated methods
1781 correctly (and not override important
1782 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1784 - added tests and docs for this
1785 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1786 so that you can actually document your
1787 attributes and inspect them through the
1789 - added tests and docs for this
1791 * Moose::Meta::Class
1792 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1793 it will first look in for the class in the
1794 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1795 then default to just loading $name.
1796 - added tests and docs for this
1798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1799 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1800 - added test for this
1803 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1804 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1805 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1806 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1808 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1809 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1812 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1814 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1815 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1816 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1819 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1820 !! for this developer release to work !!
1822 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1823 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1824 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1825 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1826 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1827 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1828 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1829 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1830 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1831 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1832 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1834 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1835 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1836 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1837 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1840 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1842 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1843 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1844 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1846 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1848 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1849 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1852 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1853 called unless they actually need to be.
1854 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1855 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1856 DEMOLISH method present.
1858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1860 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1861 type constraint, which allows for a
1862 hand optimized version of the type
1863 constraint to be used when possible.
1864 - Any internally created type constraints
1865 now provide an optimized version as well.
1867 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1869 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1870 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1871 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1874 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1875 your class namespace of these exported
1878 * Moose::Meta::Class
1879 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1880 comes up during global destruction
1882 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1886 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1890 - changed how we do type checks so that
1891 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1894 - moved accessor generation methods to
1895 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1896 conform to the API changes from
1899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1900 - changed how constraints are compiled
1901 so that we do less recursion and more
1902 iteration. This makes the type check
1904 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1908 - created this from methods formerly found in
1909 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1911 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1912 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1915 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1918 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1920 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1923 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1924 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1925 - added tests for this
1926 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1927 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1928 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1929 - removed tests for this
1931 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1933 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1934 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1935 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1938 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1939 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1940 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1942 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1943 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1944 comments for more info.
1947 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1948 asked questions and common problems
1950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1951 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1952 - added tests for this
1954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1955 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1956 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1957 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1959 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1960 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1963 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1964 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1965 is much appreciated :)
1966 - added tests for this
1968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1969 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1970 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1974 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1976 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1978 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1979 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1983 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1984 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1985 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1987 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1989 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1992 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1993 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1994 keywords because we need to localize them.
1995 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1997 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1998 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1999 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2002 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2005 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2006 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2007 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2010 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2011 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2012 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2014 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2016 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2017 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2018 bottom of your class file.
2021 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2024 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2026 - improved error message when loading modules so
2027 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2028 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2029 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2032 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2033 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2034 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2036 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2037 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2039 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2040 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2041 turn them on for you.
2042 - added tests for this
2043 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2044 in Moose::Meta::Class
2047 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2048 automatically turned on for you.

2071 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2072 - This release works in combination with
2073 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2074 release because it uses the a new
2075 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2076 complete Role implementation. It has
2077 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2078 the the previous CPAN version. This
2079 release also lacks good updated docs,
2080 the official release will have updated docs.
2083 - refactored the keyword exports
2084 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2085 accepts more than one Role at a time
2086 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2087 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2090 - refactored the keyword exports
2091 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2092 accepts more than one Role at a time
2094 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2095 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2096 string enumerations which can be used as
2098 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2101 - more careful checking of params to new()
2104 - much work done on the role composition
2105 - many new tests for conflict detection
2106 and composition edge cases
2107 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2108 looking at the tests

2131 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2132 thanks to chansen for this commit
