1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
6 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
8 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
9 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
10 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
11 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
13 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
14 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
15 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
16 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
17 same methods for a single role did not work
18 right (worked just fine with multiple
20 - added test for this (stevan)
22 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
23 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
24 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
27 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
28 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
29 - added test for this (t0m)
32 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
33 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
34 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
36 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
37 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
38 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
39 - added test for this (t0m)
41 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
42 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
43 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
44 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
45 - added test for this (perigrin)
48 - create method for constructing a role
50 - added test for this (Sartak)
51 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
52 - added test for this (Sartak)
55 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
57 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
58 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
59 methods is useful (Sartak)
61 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
62 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
63 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
67 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
68 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
69 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
70 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
71 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
72 - added tests for this (jdv79)
75 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
76 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
78 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
79 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
80 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
81 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
82 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
84 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
86 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
87 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
88 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
91 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
92 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
93 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
94 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
95 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
96 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
99 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
100 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
101 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
102 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
103 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
104 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
105 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
106 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
107 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
108 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
109 future. (jnapiorkowski)
111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
112 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
116 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
117 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
118 type. (jnapiorkowski)
119 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
121 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
123 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
124 predicate, and link to more details sections in
125 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
128 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
131 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
132 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
133 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
136 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
137 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
139 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
141 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
142 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
145 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
146 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
151 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
152 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
155 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
158 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
159 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
160 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
161 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
162 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
163 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
164 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
166 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
167 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
168 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
170 * Roles and role application
171 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
172 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
173 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
174 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
175 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
177 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
178 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
181 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
182 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
183 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
184 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
185 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
188 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
189 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
190 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
191 changes in the Moose internals.
193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
195 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
199 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
200 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
201 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
204 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
205 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
206 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
209 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
210 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
211 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
212 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
213 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
214 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
215 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
216 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
217 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
218 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
219 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
220 constraint implementations.
222 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
226 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
227 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
228 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
229 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
230 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
231 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
232 - added tests for this (rafl)
235 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
236 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
237 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
238 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
239 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
240 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
241 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
242 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
245 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
246 - added tests for this (thepler)
248 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
249 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
250 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
251 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
256 * Moose::Meta::Method
259 * Moose::Error::Default
260 * Moose::Error::Croak
261 * Moose::Error::Confess
262 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
263 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
264 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
265 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
266 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
267 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
269 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
271 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
272 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
275 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
276 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
277 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
280 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
281 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
282 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
283 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
286 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
287 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
289 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
290 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
291 several major changes in this release of Moose.
292 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
295 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
297 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
298 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
300 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
305 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
306 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
308 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
310 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
311 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
312 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
313 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
314 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
315 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
318 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
319 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
321 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
323 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
326 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
327 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
328 dependency to 0.64_07.
330 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
331 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
332 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
334 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
335 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
338 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
339 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
340 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
341 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
342 coincidental exception. (t0m).
343 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
346 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
348 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
350 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
351 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
355 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
356 method when that method was provided by another role being
357 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
358 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
360 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
362 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
363 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
366 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
367 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
368 - added test for this (t0m)
370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
371 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
372 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
374 - added test for this (t0m)
377 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
378 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
379 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
382 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
383 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
385 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
387 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
390 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
391 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
392 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
395 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
398 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
399 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
400 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
401 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
405 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
406 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
407 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
410 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
411 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
412 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
413 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
416 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
420 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
421 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
422 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
424 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
426 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
427 created so that the process can be more easily
428 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
430 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
431 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
432 the type constraints (RT #37569)
433 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
436 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
439 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
440 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
442 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
443 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
444 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
446 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
447 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
448 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
450 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
451 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
454 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
457 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
458 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
462 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
463 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
465 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
466 ... this is not my day today ...
468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
469 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
470 clone_and_inherit options still works for
471 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
472 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
475 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
476 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
477 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
478 in this release, except the fact that it includes
479 the changes that I didn't include in the last
482 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
484 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
485 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
486 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
487 this is not ever something you want to do
488 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
489 - added tests for this (stevan)
492 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
494 - added test for this
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
498 - added tests for this (wreis)
500 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
501 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
502 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
503 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
505 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
506 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
507 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
510 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
512 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
514 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
517 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
518 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
519 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
520 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
521 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
522 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
523 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
524 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
525 - added tests for this
527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
528 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
529 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
530 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
532 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
535 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
536 - added tests for this (sartak)
537 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
538 install_delegation method (Stevan)
541 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
543 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
544 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
548 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
549 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
551 - Some null_constraint optimizations
553 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
554 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
557 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
558 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
559 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
562 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
563 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
565 - added docs for this (TODO).
566 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
567 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
568 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
569 - fix builder and default both being used
574 Moose::Meta::Attribute
576 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
577 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
578 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
582 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
586 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
587 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
588 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
591 - move the ClassName type check code to
592 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
594 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
595 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
597 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
598 (early morning release engineering)--
600 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
601 which was causing the indexer to choke
603 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
604 (late night release engineering)--
606 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
607 changes in this release
609 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
610 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
611 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
614 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
615 since it is called so often by &meta
619 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
620 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
624 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
625 method for immutablization to check if the
626 destructor object even needs to be created
629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
630 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
631 - added more descriptive error message to help
632 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
633 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
635 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
637 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
638 XS based functionality is now optional
639 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
640 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
641 can now be used to force non-XS versions
643 - several of the packages have been tweaked
644 to take care of this, mostly we added
645 support for the package_name and name
646 variables in all the Method metaclasses
647 - before/around/after method modifiers now
648 support regexp matching of names
649 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
650 - tests added for this
651 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
652 is currently not supported in roles,
653 but, ... patches welcome
654 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
655 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
656 the stack trace is usually not helpful
659 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
660 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
661 the stack trace is usually not helpful
662 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
663 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
664 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
665 - added test for this
667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
668 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
669 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
673 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
677 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
679 - added tests for this
680 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
681 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
684 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
685 themselves parameterizable types
687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
688 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
689 called by the inlined immutable
691 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
693 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
694 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
695 (if possible) to create the anon-class
696 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
698 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
699 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
703 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
704 causing occasional cpantester failures
705 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
706 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
708 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
710 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
711 show where the error is (thanks mst)
714 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
715 ->body when looping through the
716 methods, to avoid the overloaded

1203 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1204 - added tests for this

1214 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1217 * Parameterized Types
1218 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1219 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1220 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1221 They can also be nested:
1222 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1223 And work with the type unions as well:
1224 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1226 * Better Framework Extendability
1227 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1228 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1229 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1230 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1233 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1234 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1235 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1236 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1412 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1413 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1414 - added tests for this
1416 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1418 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
1419 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
1420 - altered unimport tests to handle this
1423 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
1425 * Moose::Meta::Class
1426 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
1427 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
1430 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
1431 where not handled correctly in roles
1432 - added tests for this
1434 * Moose::Meta::Class
1435 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1436 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1437 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1439 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1440 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1442 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1443 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1444 so this release is just to fix that.
1447 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1448 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1449 (thanks to konobi for this)
1450 - added tests and docs
1452 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1453 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1456 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1457 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1458 - added tests for this
1459 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1460 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1461 functions to facilitate introspection.
1463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1464 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1465 to build the list of delegated methods
1466 correctly (and not override important
1467 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1469 - added tests and docs for this
1470 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1471 so that you can actually document your
1472 attributes and inspect them through the
1474 - added tests and docs for this
1476 * Moose::Meta::Class
1477 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1478 it will first look in for the class in the
1479 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1480 then default to just loading $name.
1481 - added tests and docs for this
1483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1484 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1485 - added test for this
1488 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1489 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1490 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1491 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1493 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1494 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1497 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1499 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1500 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1501 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1504 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1505 !! for this developer release to work !!
1507 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1508 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1509 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1510 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1511 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1512 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1513 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1514 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1515 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1516 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1517 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1519 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1520 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1521 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1522 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1525 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1527 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1528 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1529 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1531 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1533 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1534 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1537 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1538 called unless they actually need to be.
1539 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1540 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1541 DEMOLISH method present.
1543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1544 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1545 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1546 type constraint, which allows for a
1547 hand optimized version of the type
1548 constraint to be used when possible.
1549 - Any internally created type constraints
1550 now provide an optimized version as well.
1552 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1554 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1555 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1556 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1559 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1560 your class namespace of these exported
1563 * Moose::Meta::Class
1564 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1565 comes up during global destruction
1567 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1571 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1575 - changed how we do type checks so that
1576 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1579 - moved accessor generation methods to
1580 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1581 conform to the API changes from
1584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1585 - changed how constraints are compiled
1586 so that we do less recursion and more
1587 iteration. This makes the type check
1589 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1593 - created this from methods formerly found in
1594 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1596 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1597 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1600 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1603 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1605 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1608 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1609 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1610 - added tests for this
1611 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1612 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1613 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1614 - removed tests for this
1616 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1618 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1619 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1620 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1623 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1624 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1625 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1627 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1628 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1629 comments for more info.
1632 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1633 asked questions and common problems
1635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1636 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1637 - added tests for this
1639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1640 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1641 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1642 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1644 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1645 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1648 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1649 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1650 is much appreciated :)
1651 - added tests for this
1653 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1654 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1655 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1659 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1661 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1663 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1664 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1668 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1669 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1670 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1672 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1674 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1677 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1678 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1679 keywords because we need to localize them.
1680 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1682 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1683 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1684 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1687 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1690 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1691 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1692 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1695 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1696 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1697 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1699 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1701 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1702 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1703 bottom of your class file.
1706 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1709 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1711 - improved error message when loading modules so
1712 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1713 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1714 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1717 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1718 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1719 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1721 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1722 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1724 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1725 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1726 turn them on for you.
1727 - added tests for this

1756 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1757 - This release works in combination with
1758 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1759 release because it uses the a new
1760 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1761 complete Role implementation. It has
1762 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1763 the the previous CPAN version. This
1764 release also lacks good updated docs,
1765 the official release will have updated docs.
1768 - refactored the keyword exports
1769 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1770 accepts more than one Role at a time

1776 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1777 accepts more than one Role at a time
1779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1781 string enumerations which can be used as
1783 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1786 - more careful checking of params to new()
1789 - much work done on the role composition
1790 - many new tests for conflict detection
1791 and composition edge cases
1792 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1793 looking at the tests
1795 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1796 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1797 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

1807 - some small changes to support the new
1809 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1810 with the 'handles' option

1818 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1819 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1820 on a per-attribute basis
1821 - added tests for this
