1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
3 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
4 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
7 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
9 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
10 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
11 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
14 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
15 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
16 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
17 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
18 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
19 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
22 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
23 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
24 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
25 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
26 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
27 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
28 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
29 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
30 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
31 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
32 future. (jnapiorkowski)
34 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
35 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
38 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
39 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
40 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
42 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
44 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
46 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
47 predicate, and link to more details sections in
48 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
50 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
51 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
53 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
54 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
55 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
56 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
59 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
60 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
62 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
64 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
65 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
68 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
69 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
72 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
73 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
74 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
75 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
77 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
78 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
80 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
81 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
82 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
83 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
84 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
85 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
86 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
87 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
89 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
90 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
91 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
93 * Roles and role application
94 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
95 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
96 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
97 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
98 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
100 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
101 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
104 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
105 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
106 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
107 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
108 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
111 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
112 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
113 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
114 changes in the Moose internals.
116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
118 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
121 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
122 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
123 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
124 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
127 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
128 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
129 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
131 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
132 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
133 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
134 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
135 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
136 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
137 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
138 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
139 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
140 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
141 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
142 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
143 constraint implementations.
145 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
149 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
150 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
151 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
152 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
153 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
154 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
155 - added tests for this (rafl)
158 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
159 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
160 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
161 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
162 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
163 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
164 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
165 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
168 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
169 - added tests for this (thepler)
171 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
172 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
173 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
174 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
179 * Moose::Meta::Method
182 * Moose::Error::Default
183 * Moose::Error::Croak
184 * Moose::Error::Confess
185 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
186 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
187 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
188 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
189 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
190 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
192 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
194 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
195 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
198 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
199 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
200 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
203 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
204 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
205 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
206 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
209 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
210 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
212 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
213 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
214 several major changes in this release of Moose.
215 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
218 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
220 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
221 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
223 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
228 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
229 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
231 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
233 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
234 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
235 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
236 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
237 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
238 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
240 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
241 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
242 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
244 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
245 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
246 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
249 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
250 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
251 dependency to 0.64_07.
253 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
254 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
255 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
258 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
261 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
262 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
263 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
264 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
265 coincidental exception. (t0m).
266 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
269 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
271 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
273 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
274 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
278 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
279 method when that method was provided by another role being
280 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
281 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
283 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
285 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
286 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
289 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
290 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
291 - added test for this (t0m)
293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
294 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
295 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
297 - added test for this (t0m)
300 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
301 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
302 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
305 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
306 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
308 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
310 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
313 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
314 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
315 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
318 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
321 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
323 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
324 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
328 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
329 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
330 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
333 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
334 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
335 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
336 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
339 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
343 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
344 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
345 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
347 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
349 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
350 created so that the process can be more easily
351 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
353 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
354 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
355 the type constraints (RT #37569)
356 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
359 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
362 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
363 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
365 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
366 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
367 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
369 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
370 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
371 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
373 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
374 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)

377 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
380 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
381 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
385 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
386 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
388 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
389 ... this is not my day today ...
391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
392 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
393 clone_and_inherit options still works for
394 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
395 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
398 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
399 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
400 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
401 in this release, except the fact that it includes
402 the changes that I didn't include in the last
405 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
407 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
408 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
409 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
410 this is not ever something you want to do
411 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
412 - added tests for this (stevan)
415 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
417 - added test for this
419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
420 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
421 - added tests for this (wreis)
423 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*

429 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
430 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
433 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
435 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
437 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
440 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
441 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
442 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
443 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
444 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
445 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
446 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
447 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
448 - added tests for this
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
451 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
452 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
453 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
455 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
457 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
458 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
459 - added tests for this (sartak)
460 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
461 install_delegation method (Stevan)

474 - Some null_constraint optimizations
476 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
477 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
480 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
481 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
482 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
485 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
486 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
488 - added docs for this (TODO).
489 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
490 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
491 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
492 - fix builder and default both being used
497 Moose::Meta::Attribute
499 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
500 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
501 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
505 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
509 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
510 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
511 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
514 - move the ClassName type check code to
515 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)

518 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
520 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
521 (early morning release engineering)--
523 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
524 which was causing the indexer to choke
526 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
527 (late night release engineering)--
529 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
530 changes in this release
532 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
533 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
534 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
537 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
538 since it is called so often by &meta
542 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
543 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
547 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
548 method for immutablization to check if the
549 destructor object even needs to be created
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
553 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
554 - added more descriptive error message to help
555 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
556 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
558 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
560 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
561 XS based functionality is now optional
562 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
563 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
564 can now be used to force non-XS versions
566 - several of the packages have been tweaked
567 to take care of this, mostly we added
568 support for the package_name and name
569 variables in all the Method metaclasses
570 - before/around/after method modifiers now
571 support regexp matching of names
572 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
573 - tests added for this
574 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
575 is currently not supported in roles,
576 but, ... patches welcome
577 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
578 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
579 the stack trace is usually not helpful
582 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
583 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
584 the stack trace is usually not helpful
585 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
586 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
587 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
588 - added test for this
590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
591 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
592 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
596 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
600 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
602 - added tests for this
603 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
604 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
607 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
608 themselves parameterizable types
610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
611 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
612 called by the inlined immutable
614 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
616 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
617 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
618 (if possible) to create the anon-class
619 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
621 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
622 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
626 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
627 causing occasional cpantester failures
628 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
629 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
631 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
633 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
634 show where the error is (thanks mst)
637 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
638 ->body when looping through the
639 methods, to avoid the overloaded
641 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
642 eating the $@ values, and so not
643 working correctly, it still kind of
644 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
645 - added tests for this
647 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
648 - added new recipe for immutable
649 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
651 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
652 - added new recipe for builder and
653 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
655 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
656 - added new recipe for method aliasing
657 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
660 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
662 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
663 since Module::Install has done that.
665 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
667 drink more coffee before
668 doing release engineering
670 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
671 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
672 modules. This fixes that.
674 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
675 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
676 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
678 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
679 since we have tests which need the C3
682 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
683 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
685 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
686 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
689 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
690 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
691 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
697 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
698 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
701 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
702 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
704 - added test for this
706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
707 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
708 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug

719 classes (nothingmuch)
721 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
722 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
723 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
724 - added tests for this (Sartak)
725 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
726 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error

783 - I hate Pod::Coverage
785 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008

1126 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1127 - added tests for this
1129 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1135 - added more tests for this
1137 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1140 * Parameterized Types
1141 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1142 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1143 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1144 They can also be nested:
1145 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1146 And work with the type unions as well:
1147 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1149 * Better Framework Extendability
1150 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1151 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1152 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1153 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1156 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1157 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1158 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1159 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1420 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1422 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1423 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1424 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1427 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1428 !! for this developer release to work !!
1430 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1431 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1432 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1433 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1434 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1435 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1436 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1437 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1438 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1439 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1440 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1442 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1443 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1444 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1445 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1448 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1450 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1451 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1452 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1454 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1456 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1457 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1460 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1461 called unless they actually need to be.
1462 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1463 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1464 DEMOLISH method present.
1466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1467 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1468 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1469 type constraint, which allows for a
1470 hand optimized version of the type
1471 constraint to be used when possible.
1472 - Any internally created type constraints
1473 now provide an optimized version as well.
1475 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1477 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1478 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1479 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1482 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1483 your class namespace of these exported
1486 * Moose::Meta::Class
1487 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1488 comes up during global destruction
1490 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1494 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1498 - changed how we do type checks so that
1499 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1502 - moved accessor generation methods to
1503 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1504 conform to the API changes from
1507 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1508 - changed how constraints are compiled
1509 so that we do less recursion and more
1510 iteration. This makes the type check
1512 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1515 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1516 - created this from methods formerly found in
1517 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1519 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1520 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1523 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1526 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1528 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1531 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1532 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1533 - added tests for this
1534 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1535 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1536 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1537 - removed tests for this
1539 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1541 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1542 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1543 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1546 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1547 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1548 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1550 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1551 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1552 comments for more info.
1555 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1556 asked questions and common problems
1558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1559 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1560 - added tests for this
1562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1563 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1564 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1565 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1567 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1568 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1571 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1572 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1573 is much appreciated :)
1574 - added tests for this
1576 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1577 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1578 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1581 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1582 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1584 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1586 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1587 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1591 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1592 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1593 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1595 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1597 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1600 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1601 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1602 keywords because we need to localize them.
1603 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1605 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1606 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1607 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1610 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1613 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1614 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1615 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1618 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1619 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1620 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1622 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1624 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1625 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1626 bottom of your class file.
1629 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1632 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1634 - improved error message when loading modules so
1635 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1636 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1637 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1640 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1641 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1642 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1644 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1645 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1647 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1648 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1649 turn them on for you.
1650 - added tests for this
1651 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1652 in Moose::Meta::Class
1655 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1656 automatically turned on for you.

1679 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1680 - This release works in combination with
1681 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1682 release because it uses the a new
1683 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1684 complete Role implementation. It has
1685 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1686 the the previous CPAN version. This
1687 release also lacks good updated docs,
1688 the official release will have updated docs.
1691 - refactored the keyword exports
1692 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1693 accepts more than one Role at a time
1694 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1695 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1698 - refactored the keyword exports
1699 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1700 accepts more than one Role at a time
1702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1703 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1704 string enumerations which can be used as
1706 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1709 - more careful checking of params to new()
1712 - much work done on the role composition
1713 - many new tests for conflict detection
1714 and composition edge cases
1715 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1716 looking at the tests
1718 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1719 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1720 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1722 * Moose::Meta::Class
1723 - some small changes to support the new
1725 - some small additions to support Roles
1727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1728 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1730 - some small changes to support the new
1732 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1733 with the 'handles' option
1734 - added several tests for this
1735 - no docs for this yet
1737 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1739 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1740 thanks to chansen for this commit
1741 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1742 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1743 on a per-attribute basis
1744 - added tests for this
1745 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1746 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1747 experimental feature and probably not finished

1749 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1750 - added tests for this

1812 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
1814 - added test for this
1817 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
