1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
5 how roles add methods to a class !!
7 * Roles and role application
8 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
9 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
10 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
11 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
12 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
14 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
15 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
18 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
19 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
20 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
21 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
22 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
25 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
26 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
27 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
28 changes in the Moose internals.
30 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
31 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
32 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
35 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
36 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
37 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
38 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
40 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
41 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
42 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
43 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
45 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
46 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
47 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
48 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
49 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
50 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
51 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
52 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
53 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
54 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
55 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
56 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
57 constraint implementations.
59 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
63 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
64 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
65 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
66 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
67 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
68 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
69 - added tests for this (rafl)
72 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
73 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
74 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
75 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
76 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
77 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
78 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
79 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
82 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
83 - added tests for this (thepler)
85 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
86 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
87 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
88 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
91 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
93 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
94 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
97 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
98 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
99 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
102 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
103 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
104 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
105 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
108 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
109 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
111 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
112 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
113 several major changes in this release of Moose.
114 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
117 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
119 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
120 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
122 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
127 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
128 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
130 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
132 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
133 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
134 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
135 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
136 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
137 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
139 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
140 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
141 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
143 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
144 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
145 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
148 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
149 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
150 dependency to 0.64_07.
152 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
153 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
154 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
156 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
157 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
160 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
161 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
162 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
163 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
164 coincidental exception. (t0m).
165 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
168 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
170 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
172 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
173 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
177 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
178 method when that method was provided by another role being
179 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
180 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
182 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
184 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
185 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
188 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
189 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
190 - added test for this (t0m)
192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
193 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
194 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
196 - added test for this (t0m)
199 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
200 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
201 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
204 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
205 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
207 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
209 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
212 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
213 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
214 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
216 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
217 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
220 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
221 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
222 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
223 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
227 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
228 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
229 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
232 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
233 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
234 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
235 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
238 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
242 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
243 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
244 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
246 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

249 created so that the process can be more easily
250 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
258 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
261 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
262 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
264 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
265 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
266 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
268 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

285 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
287 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
288 ... this is not my day today ...
290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
291 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
292 clone_and_inherit options still works for
293 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
294 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
297 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
298 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
299 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
300 in this release, except the fact that it includes
301 the changes that I didn't include in the last
304 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
306 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
307 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
308 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
309 this is not ever something you want to do
310 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

336 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
339 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
340 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
341 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
342 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
343 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
344 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
345 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
346 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
347 - added tests for this
349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
350 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
351 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

423 which was causing the indexer to choke
425 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
426 (late night release engineering)--
428 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
429 changes in this release
431 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
432 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
433 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
436 - some optimizations of the &initialize method

441 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
442 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
446 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
447 method for immutablization to check if the
448 destructor object even needs to be created
451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
452 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
453 - added more descriptive error message to help
454 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
455 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
457 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
459 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
460 XS based functionality is now optional
461 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

470 support regexp matching of names
471 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
472 - tests added for this
473 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
474 is currently not supported in roles,
475 but, ... patches welcome
476 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
477 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
478 the stack trace is usually not helpful
481 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
482 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
483 the stack trace is usually not helpful
484 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

487 - added test for this
489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
490 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an

530 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
532 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
533 show where the error is (thanks mst)
536 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
537 ->body when looping through the
538 methods, to avoid the overloaded
540 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
541 eating the $@ values, and so not
542 working correctly, it still kind of
543 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
544 - added tests for this

566 drink more coffee before
567 doing release engineering
569 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
570 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
571 modules. This fixes that.

682 - I hate Pod::Coverage
684 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
686 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
687 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
688 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

728 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
729 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
730 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
731 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1020 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1023 - fixed how required methods are handled
1024 when they encounter overriden or modified
1025 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1026 - added tests for this
1028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1029 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1030 the | always creates a union and so is
1031 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1032 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1034 - added more tests for this
1036 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1039 * Parameterized Types
1040 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1041 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1042 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1043 They can also be nested:
1044 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1045 And work with the type unions as well:
1046 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1048 * Better Framework Extendability
1049 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1050 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1051 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1052 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1055 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1056 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1057 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1058 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1061 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1063 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

1292 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1293 so that you can actually document your
1294 attributes and inspect them through the

1298 * Moose::Meta::Class
1299 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1300 it will first look in for the class in the

1305 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1306 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1307 - added test for this

1312 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1313 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1315 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1316 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1319 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1321 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1322 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1323 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1326 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1327 !! for this developer release to work !!
1329 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1330 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1331 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1332 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1333 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1334 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1335 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1336 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1337 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1338 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1339 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1341 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1342 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1343 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1344 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1347 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1349 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1350 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1351 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1353 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1355 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1356 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1359 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1360 called unless they actually need to be.
1361 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1362 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1363 DEMOLISH method present.
1365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1366 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1367 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1368 type constraint, which allows for a
1369 hand optimized version of the type
1370 constraint to be used when possible.
1371 - Any internally created type constraints
1372 now provide an optimized version as well.
1374 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1376 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1377 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1378 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1381 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1382 your class namespace of these exported
1385 * Moose::Meta::Class
1386 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1387 comes up during global destruction
1389 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1393 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1397 - changed how we do type checks so that
1398 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1401 - moved accessor generation methods to
1402 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1403 conform to the API changes from
1406 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1407 - changed how constraints are compiled
1408 so that we do less recursion and more
1409 iteration. This makes the type check
1411 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1415 - created this from methods formerly found in
1416 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1418 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1419 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1422 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1425 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1427 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1430 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1431 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1432 - added tests for this
1433 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1434 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1435 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1436 - removed tests for this
1438 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1440 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1441 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1442 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1445 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1446 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1447 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1449 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1450 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1451 comments for more info.
1454 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1455 asked questions and common problems
1457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1458 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1459 - added tests for this
1461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1462 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1463 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1464 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1466 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1467 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1470 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1471 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1472 is much appreciated :)
1473 - added tests for this
1475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1476 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1477 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1481 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1483 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1485 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1486 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1490 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1491 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1492 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1494 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1496 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1499 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1500 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1501 keywords because we need to localize them.
1502 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1504 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1505 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1506 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1509 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1513 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1514 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1517 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1518 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1519 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1521 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1523 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1524 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1525 bottom of your class file.
1528 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1531 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1533 - improved error message when loading modules so
1534 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1535 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1536 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1539 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1540 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1541 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1544 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1546 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1547 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1548 turn them on for you.
1549 - added tests for this
1550 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1551 in Moose::Meta::Class
1554 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1555 automatically turned on for you.

1577 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1578 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1579 - This release works in combination with
1580 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1581 release because it uses the a new
1582 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1583 complete Role implementation. It has
1584 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1585 the the previous CPAN version. This
1586 release also lacks good updated docs,
1587 the official release will have updated docs.
1590 - refactored the keyword exports
1591 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1592 accepts more than one Role at a time
1593 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1594 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1597 - refactored the keyword exports
1598 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1599 accepts more than one Role at a time
1601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1602 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1603 string enumerations which can be used as
1605 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1608 - more careful checking of params to new()
1611 - much work done on the role composition
1612 - many new tests for conflict detection
1613 and composition edge cases
1614 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1615 looking at the tests
1617 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1618 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1619 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1621 * Moose::Meta::Class
1622 - some small changes to support the new
1624 - some small additions to support Roles
1626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1627 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1629 - some small changes to support the new
1631 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1632 with the 'handles' option
1633 - added several tests for this
1634 - no docs for this yet
1636 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1638 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1639 thanks to chansen for this commit
1640 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1641 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1642 on a per-attribute basis
1643 - added tests for this
1644 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1645 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1646 experimental feature and probably not finished

1648 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1649 - added tests for this
