1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
5 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
7 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
8 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
9 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
10 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
12 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
14 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
15 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
17 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
18 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
19 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
20 - added test for this (t0m)
22 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
23 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
24 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
26 - added test for this (t0m)
29 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
30 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
31 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
35 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
37 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
39 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
42 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
43 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
44 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
46 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
47 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
50 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
51 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
52 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
53 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
57 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
58 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
59 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
62 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
63 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
64 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
65 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
68 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
72 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
73 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
74 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
76 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
77 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
78 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
79 created so that the process can be more easily
80 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
82 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
83 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
84 the type constraints (RT #37569)
85 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
87 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
88 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
91 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
92 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
94 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
95 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
96 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
98 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
99 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
100 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
102 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
103 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
105 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
106 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
109 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
110 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
114 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
115 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
117 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
118 ... this is not my day today ...
120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
121 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
122 clone_and_inherit options still works for
123 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
124 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
127 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
128 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
129 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
130 in this release, except the fact that it includes
131 the changes that I didn't include in the last
134 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
136 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
137 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
138 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
139 this is not ever something you want to do
140 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
141 - added tests for this (stevan)
144 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
146 - added test for this

159 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
162 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
164 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
166 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
169 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
170 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
171 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
172 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
173 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
174 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
175 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
176 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
177 - added tests for this
179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
180 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
181 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
182 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
184 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
187 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

256 (late night release engineering)--
258 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
259 changes in this release
261 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
262 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
263 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

304 is currently not supported in roles,
305 but, ... patches welcome
306 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
307 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
308 the stack trace is usually not helpful
311 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
312 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
313 the stack trace is usually not helpful

363 show where the error is (thanks mst)
366 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
367 ->body when looping through the
368 methods, to avoid the overloaded

760 having to do it all in one place
761 - added tests for this
763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
764 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
765 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
768 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
769 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
770 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
771 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
772 new features above (although you cannot add
773 more type coercions for Union types)
775 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
777 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
778 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
779 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
780 - added tests for this.
781 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
782 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
783 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
784 - added tests for this
785 - added docs for this
787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
788 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
789 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
790 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
791 instead it will just return undef.
792 - added docs for this
794 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
796 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)
798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

800 code generation for runtime speed (groditi)
802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
803 - fix ClassName constraint to introspect symbol table (mst)
804 - added more tests for this (mst)
805 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
807 - added tests for this
810 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
811 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
814 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
815 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
816 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
818 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
820 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)
822 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

830 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
832 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
834 - Added support for the new builder option (groditi)
835 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
836 - Changed slot initialization for predicate changes (groditi)
838 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
839 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
840 - Fix inline methods to work with corrected predicate
843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
844 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
847 - tests for builder and lazy_build (groditi)
849 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
850 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
853 - fixed how required methods are handled
854 when they encounter overriden or modified
855 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
856 - added tests for this
858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
859 - fixed the type notation parser so that
860 the | always creates a union and so is
861 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
862 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
864 - added more tests for this
866 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
869 * Parameterized Types
870 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
871 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
872 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
873 They can also be nested:
874 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
875 And work with the type unions as well:
876 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
878 * Better Framework Extendability
879 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
880 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
881 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
882 section of the Moose.pm docs.
885 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
886 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
887 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
888 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
891 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
893 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
894 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
897 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

925 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
927 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
928 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
929 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
930 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
933 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
934 - updated the accompanying test as well
936 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
937 +++ with new features added as well +++
939 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
940 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
941 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
942 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
943 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
945 - added tests for this
947 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
948 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
949 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
950 can track where the type constraints are created
952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
953 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
954 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
956 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

971 - Documentation update to reference Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
972 under 'isa' in 'has' for how to define a new type
975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
976 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
977 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

981 - added tests for this
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1021 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1022 to the 'handles' option.
1023 - added tests and docs for this
1024 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to

1026 (but not changing the handles option)
1027 - added tests and docs for this
1030 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1031 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1036 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1042 the other side (perigrin)
1044 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1046 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1047 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1048 prototypes for functions
1049 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1050 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1058 merlyn for finding this bug
1059 - tests added for this
1060 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1063 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1064 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1065 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1066 - added tests for this
1068 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1070 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1089 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1091 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1092 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1094 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1095 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1096 so this release is just to fix that.
1099 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1100 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1101 (thanks to konobi for this)
1102 - added tests and docs
1104 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1105 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1108 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1109 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1110 - added tests for this
1111 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1112 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1113 functions to facilitate introspection.
1115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1116 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1117 to build the list of delegated methods
1118 correctly (and not override important
1119 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1121 - added tests and docs for this
1122 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1123 so that you can actually document your
1124 attributes and inspect them through the
1126 - added tests and docs for this
1128 * Moose::Meta::Class
1129 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1130 it will first look in for the class in the
1131 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1132 then default to just loading $name.
1133 - added tests and docs for this
1135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1136 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1137 - added test for this
1140 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1141 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1142 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1143 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1145 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1146 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1149 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1151 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1152 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1153 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1156 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1157 !! for this developer release to work !!
1159 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1160 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1161 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1162 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1163 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1164 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1165 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1166 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1167 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1168 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1169 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1171 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1172 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1173 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1174 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1177 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1179 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1180 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1181 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1183 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1185 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1186 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1189 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1190 called unless they actually need to be.
1191 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1192 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1193 DEMOLISH method present.
1195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1197 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1198 type constraint, which allows for a
1199 hand optimized version of the type
1200 constraint to be used when possible.
1201 - Any internally created type constraints
1202 now provide an optimized version as well.
1204 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1206 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1207 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1208 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1210 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1211 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1212 your class namespace of these exported
1215 * Moose::Meta::Class
1216 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1217 comes up during global destruction
1219 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1223 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1227 - changed how we do type checks so that
1228 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1231 - moved accessor generation methods to
1232 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1233 conform to the API changes from
1236 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1237 - changed how constraints are compiled
1238 so that we do less recursion and more
1239 iteration. This makes the type check
1241 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1244 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1245 - created this from methods formerly found in
1246 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1248 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1249 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1252 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1255 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1257 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1260 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1261 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1262 - added tests for this
1263 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1264 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1265 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1266 - removed tests for this
1268 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1270 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1271 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1272 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1275 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1276 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1277 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1279 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1280 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1281 comments for more info.
1284 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1285 asked questions and common problems
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1289 - added tests for this
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1292 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1293 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1294 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1296 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1297 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1300 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1301 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1302 is much appreciated :)
1303 - added tests for this
1305 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1306 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1307 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1311 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1313 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1315 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1316 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1320 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1321 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1322 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1324 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1326 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1329 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1330 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1331 keywords because we need to localize them.
1332 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1334 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1335 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1336 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1339 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1342 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1343 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1344 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1347 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1348 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1349 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1351 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1353 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1354 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1355 bottom of your class file.
1358 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1361 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1363 - improved error message when loading modules so
1364 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1365 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1366 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1369 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1370 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1371 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1373 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1374 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1376 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1377 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1378 turn them on for you.
1379 - added tests for this
1380 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1381 in Moose::Meta::Class
1384 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1385 automatically turned on for you.
1386 - added tests for this
1389 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1390 - added tests for this
1391 - added some more edge case tests
1393 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
1394 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1396 - added prototypes to the exported subs
1400 - added prototypes to the exported subs
1403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1404 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1407 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1408 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1409 - This release works in combination with
1410 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1411 release because it uses the a new
1412 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1413 complete Role implementation. It has
1414 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1415 the the previous CPAN version. This
1416 release also lacks good updated docs,
1417 the official release will have updated docs.
1420 - refactored the keyword exports
1421 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1422 accepts more than one Role at a time
1423 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1424 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1427 - refactored the keyword exports
1428 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1429 accepts more than one Role at a time
1431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1432 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1433 string enumerations which can be used as
1435 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1438 - more careful checking of params to new()
1441 - much work done on the role composition
1442 - many new tests for conflict detection
1443 and composition edge cases
1444 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1445 looking at the tests
1447 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1448 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1449 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1451 * Moose::Meta::Class
1452 - some small changes to support the new
1454 - some small additions to support Roles
1456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1457 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1459 - some small changes to support the new
1461 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1462 with the 'handles' option
1463 - added several tests for this
1464 - no docs for this yet
1466 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1468 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1469 thanks to chansen for this commit
1470 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1471 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1472 on a per-attribute basis
1473 - added tests for this
1474 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1475 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1476 experimental feature and probably not finished
1477 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
1478 more details, or ask about it on #moose
