4 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
5 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
7 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
8 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
11 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
12 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
13 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
14 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
15 coincidental exception. (t0m).
16 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
18 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
19 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
21 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
23 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
24 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
28 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
29 method when that method was provided by another role being
30 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
31 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
33 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
35 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
36 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
38 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
39 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
40 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
41 - added test for this (t0m)
43 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
44 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
45 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
47 - added test for this (t0m)
50 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
51 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
52 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
55 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
56 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
58 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
60 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
63 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
64 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
65 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
67 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
68 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
72 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
73 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
74 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
78 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
79 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
80 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
83 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
84 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
85 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
86 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
89 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
93 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
94 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
95 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
97 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
98 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
99 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
100 created so that the process can be more easily
101 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

104 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
105 the type constraints (RT #37569)
106 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
109 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
112 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
113 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
115 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
116 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
117 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
119 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
120 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
121 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
123 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
124 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
126 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
127 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
130 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
131 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
135 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
136 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
138 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
139 ... this is not my day today ...
141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
142 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
143 clone_and_inherit options still works for
144 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
145 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
148 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
149 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
150 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
151 in this release, except the fact that it includes
152 the changes that I didn't include in the last
155 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
157 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
158 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
159 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
160 this is not ever something you want to do
161 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
162 - added tests for this (stevan)
165 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
167 - added test for this

187 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
190 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
191 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
192 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
193 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
194 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
195 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
196 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
197 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
198 - added tests for this
200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
201 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
202 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
203 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
205 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

279 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
280 changes in this release

325 is currently not supported in roles,
326 but, ... patches welcome
327 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
328 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
329 the stack trace is usually not helpful

333 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
334 the stack trace is usually not helpful

384 show where the error is (thanks mst)
387 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
388 ->body when looping through the
389 methods, to avoid the overloaded

760 - basic support for coercion to ArrayRef and
761 HashRef for containers (sartak)
762 - added tests for this
764 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
765 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
766 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
767 types without having to explictly define them
768 - added tests for this
770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
771 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
772 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
774 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
775 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

777 they should inherit the parent's coercion
778 - added tests for this
779 - you can now define multiple coercions on
780 a single type at different times instead of
781 having to do it all in one place
782 - added tests for this
784 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
785 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
786 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
789 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
790 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
791 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
792 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

794 more type coercions for Union types)
796 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
798 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
799 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
800 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
801 - added tests for this.
802 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
803 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
804 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
805 - added tests for this
806 - added docs for this
808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
809 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
810 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
811 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
812 instead it will just return undef.
813 - added docs for this
815 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
817 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)
819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

828 - added tests for this
831 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
832 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
835 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
836 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
837 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
839 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
840 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
841 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)

875 when they encounter overriden or modified
876 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
877 - added tests for this
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
880 - fixed the type notation parser so that
881 the | always creates a union and so is
882 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
883 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
885 - added more tests for this
887 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
890 * Parameterized Types
891 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
892 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
893 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
894 They can also be nested:
895 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
896 And work with the type unions as well:
897 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
899 * Better Framework Extendability
900 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
901 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
902 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
903 section of the Moose.pm docs.
906 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
907 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
908 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
909 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
912 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
914 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
915 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

954 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
955 - updated the accompanying test as well
957 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
958 +++ with new features added as well +++
960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

964 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
966 - added tests for this
968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
969 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
970 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
971 can track where the type constraints are created
973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
974 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
975 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
977 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
978 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
979 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself

993 under 'isa' in 'has' for how to define a new type
996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
997 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
998 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

1036 - added tests for these
1038 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1039 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1042 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1043 to the 'handles' option.
1044 - added tests and docs for this

1047 (but not changing the handles option)
1048 - added tests and docs for this
1051 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1052 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1066 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1067 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1068 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1069 prototypes for functions
1070 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1071 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1081 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1084 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1085 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1086 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1087 - added tests for this
1089 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1091 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1112 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1113 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1115 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1116 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1117 so this release is just to fix that.
1120 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1121 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1122 (thanks to konobi for this)
1123 - added tests and docs
1125 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1126 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1129 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1130 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1131 - added tests for this
1132 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1133 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1134 functions to facilitate introspection.
1136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1137 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1138 to build the list of delegated methods
1139 correctly (and not override important
1140 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1142 - added tests and docs for this
1143 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1144 so that you can actually document your
1145 attributes and inspect them through the
1147 - added tests and docs for this
1149 * Moose::Meta::Class
1150 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1151 it will first look in for the class in the
1152 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1153 then default to just loading $name.
1154 - added tests and docs for this
1156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1157 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1158 - added test for this
1161 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1162 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1163 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1164 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1166 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1167 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1170 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1172 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1173 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1174 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1177 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1178 !! for this developer release to work !!
1180 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1181 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1182 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1183 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1184 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1185 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1186 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1187 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1188 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1189 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1190 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1192 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1193 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1194 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1195 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1198 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1200 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1201 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1202 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1204 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1206 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1207 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1210 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1211 called unless they actually need to be.
1212 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1213 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1214 DEMOLISH method present.
1216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1218 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1219 type constraint, which allows for a
1220 hand optimized version of the type
1221 constraint to be used when possible.
1222 - Any internally created type constraints
1223 now provide an optimized version as well.
1225 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1227 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1228 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1229 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1232 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1233 your class namespace of these exported
1236 * Moose::Meta::Class
1237 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1238 comes up during global destruction
1240 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1244 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1248 - changed how we do type checks so that
1249 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1252 - moved accessor generation methods to
1253 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1254 conform to the API changes from
1257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1258 - changed how constraints are compiled
1259 so that we do less recursion and more
1260 iteration. This makes the type check
1262 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1266 - created this from methods formerly found in
1267 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1269 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1270 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1273 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1276 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1278 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1280 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1281 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1282 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1283 - added tests for this
1284 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1285 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1286 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1287 - removed tests for this
1289 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1291 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1292 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1293 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1296 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1297 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1298 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1300 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1301 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1302 comments for more info.
1305 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1306 asked questions and common problems
1308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1309 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1310 - added tests for this
1312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1313 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1314 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1315 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1317 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1318 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1321 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1322 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1323 is much appreciated :)
1324 - added tests for this
1326 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1327 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1328 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1331 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1332 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1334 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1336 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1337 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1341 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1342 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1343 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1345 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1347 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1350 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1351 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1352 keywords because we need to localize them.
1353 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1355 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1356 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1357 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1360 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1363 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1364 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1365 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1368 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1369 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1370 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1372 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1374 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1375 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1376 bottom of your class file.
1379 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1382 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1384 - improved error message when loading modules so
1385 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1386 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1387 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1390 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1391 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1392 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1394 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1395 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1397 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1398 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1399 turn them on for you.
1400 - added tests for this
1401 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1402 in Moose::Meta::Class
1405 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1406 automatically turned on for you.
1407 - added tests for this
1410 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1411 - added tests for this
1412 - added some more edge case tests

1424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1425 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1428 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1429 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1430 - This release works in combination with
1431 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1432 release because it uses the a new
1433 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1434 complete Role implementation. It has
1435 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1436 the the previous CPAN version. This
1437 release also lacks good updated docs,
1438 the official release will have updated docs.
1441 - refactored the keyword exports
1442 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1443 accepts more than one Role at a time
1444 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1445 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1448 - refactored the keyword exports
1449 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1450 accepts more than one Role at a time
1452 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1453 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1454 string enumerations which can be used as
1456 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1459 - more careful checking of params to new()
1462 - much work done on the role composition
1463 - many new tests for conflict detection
1464 and composition edge cases
1465 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1466 looking at the tests
1468 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1469 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1470 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1472 * Moose::Meta::Class
1473 - some small changes to support the new
1475 - some small additions to support Roles
1477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1489 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1490 thanks to chansen for this commit
1491 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1492 to support custom attribute meta-classes
