1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
3 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
5 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
6 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
7 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
9 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
10 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
13 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
14 monkeypatching of classes in one liners
17 - fixing the 'apply_all_roles' keyword so that it will not
18 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
21 - added ->create method which now supports roles (thanks to jrockway)
22 - added tests for this
23 - added ->create_anon_class which now supports roles and caching of
24 the results (thanks to jrockway)
25 - added tests for this
26 - made ->does_role a little more forgiving when it is
27 checking a Class::MOP era metaclasses.
29 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
30 - it is now possible to pass extra params to be used when
31 a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params)
32 - added tests for this
34 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
35 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
36 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
37 - added tests for this
38 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
39 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else
41 - added tests for this
44 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
45 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
47 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
48 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
49 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
50 it ever did this originally, this means we now
51 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
53 - added more delegation tests
54 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
55 support traits and their introspection.
56 - added tests for this
59 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
60 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
61 - made ->does a little more forgiving when it is
62 passed Class::MOP era metaclasses.

149 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
150 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~

201 - added this module to support the refactor
202 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
205 - refactored how these types are handled so they
206 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
210 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
212 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
213 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
214 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

229 HashRef for containers (sartak)
230 - added tests for this
232 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

236 - added tests for this
238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

258 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
259 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
260 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
261 new features above (although you cannot add
262 more type coercions for Union types)
264 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
266 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
267 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
268 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
269 - added tests for this.
270 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
271 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
272 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
273 - added tests for this
274 - added docs for this
276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
277 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
278 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
279 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
280 instead it will just return undef.
281 - added docs for this

296 - added tests for this
299 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
300 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
303 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
304 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
305 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
307 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

339 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
342 - fixed how required methods are handled
343 when they encounter overriden or modified
344 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
345 - added tests for this
347 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
348 - fixed the type notation parser so that
349 the | always creates a union and so is
350 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
351 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
353 - added more tests for this
355 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
358 * Parameterized Types
359 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
360 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
361 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
362 They can also be nested:
363 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
364 And work with the type unions as well:
365 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
367 * Better Framework Extendability
368 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
369 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
370 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
371 section of the Moose.pm docs.
374 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
375 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
376 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
377 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

382 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
383 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
386 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

414 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
416 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
417 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
418 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
419 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
421 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
422 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
423 - updated the accompanying test as well

441 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
442 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
443 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
445 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
446 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

533 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
534 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
535 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
536 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
537 prototypes for functions
538 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
539 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
540 - added tests and docs for this

548 - tests added for this
549 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
552 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass

601 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
602 functions to facilitate introspection.
604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

606 to build the list of delegated methods
607 correctly (and not override important
608 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
610 - added tests and docs for this
611 - added the 'documentation' attributes
612 so that you can actually document your
613 attributes and inspect them through the
615 - added tests and docs for this
618 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
619 it will first look in for the class in the
620 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
621 then default to just loading $name.
622 - added tests and docs for this
624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
625 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
626 - added test for this
629 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
630 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
631 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.

634 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
635 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
638 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
640 - added tests to show types and subtypes
641 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
642 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
645 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
646 !! for this developer release to work !!
648 This release was primarily adding the immutable
649 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
650 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
651 as immutable it will perform various bits of
652 memoization and inline certain part of the code
653 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
654 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
655 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
656 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
657 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
658 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
660 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
661 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
662 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
663 truely interested in what was changed, please do
666 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
668 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
669 are have a type constraint and lazy.
670 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
672 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
674 There are some speed improvements in this release,
675 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
678 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
679 called unless they actually need to be.
680 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
681 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
682 DEMOLISH method present.
684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
686 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
687 type constraint, which allows for a
688 hand optimized version of the type
689 constraint to be used when possible.
690 - Any internally created type constraints
691 now provide an optimized version as well.
693 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
695 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
696 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
697 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
700 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
701 your class namespace of these exported
705 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
706 comes up during global destruction
708 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
712 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
716 - changed how we do type checks so that
717 we reduce the overall cost, but still
720 - moved accessor generation methods to
721 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
722 conform to the API changes from
725 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
726 - changed how constraints are compiled
727 so that we do less recursion and more
728 iteration. This makes the type check
730 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
733 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
734 - created this from methods formerly found in
735 Moose::Meta::Attribute
737 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
738 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
741 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
743 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
744 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
746 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
749 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
750 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
751 - added tests for this
752 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
753 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
754 broke predicates in an ugly way.
755 - removed tests for this
757 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
759 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
760 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
761 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
764 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
765 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
766 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
768 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
769 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
770 comments for more info.
773 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
774 asked questions and common problems
776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
777 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
778 - added tests for this
780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
781 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
782 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
783 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
785 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
786 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
789 - added basic support for runtime role composition
790 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
791 is much appreciated :)
792 - added tests for this
794 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
795 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
796 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
800 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
802 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
804 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
805 - properly capturing error when type constraint
809 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
810 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
811 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
813 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
815 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
818 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
819 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
820 keywords because we need to localize them.
821 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
823 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
824 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
825 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
828 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
832 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
833 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
836 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
837 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
838 - fixed tests to reflect this change
840 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
842 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
843 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
844 bottom of your class file.
847 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
850 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
852 - improved error message when loading modules so
853 it is less confusing when you load a role.
854 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
855 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
858 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
859 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
860 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
862 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
863 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
865 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
866 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
867 turn them on for you.
868 - added tests for this
869 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
870 in Moose::Meta::Class
873 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
874 automatically turned on for you.

893 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
896 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
897 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
898 - This release works in combination with
899 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
900 release because it uses the a new
901 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
902 complete Role implementation. It has
903 not yet been optimized, so it slower
904 the the previous CPAN version. This
905 release also lacks good updated docs,
906 the official release will have updated docs.
909 - refactored the keyword exports
910 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
911 accepts more than one Role at a time
912 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
913 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
916 - refactored the keyword exports
917 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
918 accepts more than one Role at a time
920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
921 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
922 string enumerations which can be used as
924 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
927 - more careful checking of params to new()
930 - much work done on the role composition
931 - many new tests for conflict detection
932 and composition edge cases
933 - not enough documentation, I suggest
936 * Moose::Meta::Instance
937 - added new Instance metaclass to support
938 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
941 - some small changes to support the new
943 - some small additions to support Roles
945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
946 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
948 - some small changes to support the new
950 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
951 with the 'handles' option
952 - added several tests for this
953 - no docs for this yet
955 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
957 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
958 thanks to chansen for this commit
959 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
960 to support custom attribute meta-classes
961 on a per-attribute basis
962 - added tests for this
963 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
964 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
965 experimental feature and probably not finished
966 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
967 more details, or ask about it on #moose
968 - added tests for this
