1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
5 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
6 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
8 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
10 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
11 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
13 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
14 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
17 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
18 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
21 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
22 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
23 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
25 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
26 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
27 attribute. (Dieter Pearcey)
30 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
31 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
32 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
34 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
35 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
38 * Moose::Manual::Delta
39 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
40 with recommended workarounds.
42 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
43 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
45 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
46 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
47 (yes, spelled like that).
49 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
50 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
53 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
54 changes in latest Class::MOP.
56 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
58 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
59 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
60 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
61 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
62 instead. Reported by doy.
64 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
66 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
67 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
69 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
70 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
71 message) is now deprecated.
72 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
73 often got it wrong. For example:
75 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
77 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
81 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
82 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
83 bite you in weird cases.
85 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
86 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
87 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
90 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
91 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
95 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
98 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
99 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
102 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
103 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
106 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
109 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
111 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
112 - added tests for this (stevan)
114 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
115 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
116 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
117 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
121 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
122 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
123 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
124 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
126 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
127 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
128 - added tests for this (rafl)
130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
131 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
132 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
133 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
137 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
138 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
141 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
142 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
143 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
145 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
147 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
148 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
151 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
152 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
153 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
154 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
157 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
158 error message did not specify the attribute name
161 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
163 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
165 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
166 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
167 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
170 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
173 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
175 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
176 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
177 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
178 of fixes and formatting improvements.
180 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
182 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
183 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
184 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
185 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
188 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
189 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
192 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
193 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
194 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
195 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
198 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
199 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
200 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
201 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
204 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
205 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
206 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
207 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
208 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
210 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
211 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
212 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
213 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
214 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
215 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
218 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
220 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
221 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
222 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
223 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
226 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
229 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
233 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
234 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
236 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
237 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
238 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
241 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
243 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
246 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
247 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
248 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
251 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
254 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
255 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
257 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
259 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
262 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
263 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
264 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
265 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
266 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
267 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
270 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
271 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
272 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
273 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
274 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
275 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
276 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
277 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
278 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
280 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
282 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
283 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
285 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
286 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
287 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
288 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
290 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
291 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
292 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
293 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
294 same methods for a single role did not work
295 right (worked just fine with multiple
297 - added test for this (stevan)
299 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
300 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
301 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
304 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
305 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
306 - added test for this (t0m)
309 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
310 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
311 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
314 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
315 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
316 - added test for this (t0m)
318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
319 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
320 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
321 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
322 - added test for this (perigrin)
325 - create method for constructing a role
327 - added test for this (Sartak)
328 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
329 - added test for this (Sartak)
332 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
334 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
335 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
336 methods is useful (Sartak)
338 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
340 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
344 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
345 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
346 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
347 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
348 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
349 - added tests for this (jdv79)
352 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
353 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
355 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
356 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
357 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
358 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
359 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
361 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
363 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
364 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
365 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
368 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
369 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
370 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
371 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
372 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
373 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
377 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
378 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
379 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
380 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
381 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
382 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
383 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
384 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
385 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
386 future. (jnapiorkowski)
388 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
389 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
393 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
394 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
395 type. (jnapiorkowski)
396 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
398 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
400 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
401 predicate, and link to more details sections in
402 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
405 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
408 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
409 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
410 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
413 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
414 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
416 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
418 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
419 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
422 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
423 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
428 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
429 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
432 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
435 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
436 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
437 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
438 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
439 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
440 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
441 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
443 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
444 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
445 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
447 * Roles and role application
448 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
449 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
450 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
451 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
452 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
454 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
455 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
458 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
459 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
460 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
461 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
462 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
465 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
466 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
467 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
468 changes in the Moose internals.
470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
472 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
476 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
477 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
478 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
481 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
482 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
483 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
486 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
487 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
488 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
489 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
490 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
491 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
492 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
493 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
494 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
495 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
496 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
497 constraint implementations.
499 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
503 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
504 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
505 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
506 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
507 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
508 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
509 - added tests for this (rafl)
512 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
513 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
514 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
515 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
516 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
517 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
518 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
519 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
522 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
523 - added tests for this (thepler)
525 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
526 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
527 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
528 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
533 * Moose::Meta::Method
536 * Moose::Error::Default
537 * Moose::Error::Croak
538 * Moose::Error::Confess
539 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
540 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
541 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
542 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
543 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
544 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
546 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
548 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
549 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
552 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
553 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
554 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
556 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
557 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
558 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
559 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
560 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
563 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
564 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
566 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
567 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
568 several major changes in this release of Moose.
569 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
572 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
574 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
575 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
577 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
582 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
583 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
585 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
587 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
588 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
589 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
590 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
591 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
592 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
595 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
596 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
598 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
599 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
600 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
603 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
604 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
605 dependency to 0.64_07.
607 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
608 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
609 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
612 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
616 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
617 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
618 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
619 coincidental exception. (t0m).
620 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
623 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
625 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
627 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
628 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
632 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
633 method when that method was provided by another role being
634 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
635 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
637 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
639 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
640 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
642 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
643 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
644 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
645 - added test for this (t0m)
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
648 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
649 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
651 - added test for this (t0m)
654 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
655 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
656 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
659 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
660 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
662 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
664 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
667 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
668 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
669 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
671 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
672 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
675 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
676 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
677 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
678 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
682 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
683 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
684 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
687 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you

742 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
743 ... this is not my day today ...
745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
746 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that

748 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
749 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
752 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
753 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
754 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

759 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
761 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
762 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

794 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
795 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
796 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
797 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
798 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
799 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
800 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
801 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
802 - added tests for this
804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

988 show where the error is (thanks mst)
991 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
992 ->body when looping through the

1139 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1141 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1402 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
1403 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
1404 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
1405 - added tests for this.
1406 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
1407 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
1408 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
1409 - added tests for this
1410 - added docs for this
1412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1413 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1414 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1415 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1416 instead it will just return undef.
1417 - added docs for this
1419 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
1420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1421 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

1425 code generation for runtime speed (groditi)
1427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1428 - fix ClassName constraint to introspect symbol table (mst)
1429 - added more tests for this (mst)
1430 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
1431 with work correctly.
1432 - added tests for this
1435 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1436 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1439 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1440 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1441 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1443 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
1444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1445 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)
1447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

1455 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
1457 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
1458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1472 - tests for builder and lazy_build (groditi)
1474 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
1475 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1478 - fixed how required methods are handled
1479 when they encounter overriden or modified
1480 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1481 - added tests for this
1483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1484 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1485 the | always creates a union and so is
1486 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1487 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1489 - added more tests for this
1491 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1494 * Parameterized Types
1495 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1496 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1497 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1498 They can also be nested:
1499 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1500 And work with the type unions as well:
1501 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1503 * Better Framework Extendability
1504 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1505 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1506 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1507 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1510 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1511 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1512 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1513 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1516 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1518 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1519 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1522 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1550 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
1552 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
1553 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
1554 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
1555 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
1558 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
1559 - updated the accompanying test as well
1561 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
1562 +++ with new features added as well +++
1564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1565 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
1566 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

1578 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1579 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1581 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1582 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

1598 (thanks to shlomif).
1600 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1601 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1602 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
1603 - added tests for this
1604 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
1606 - added tests for this
1608 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1609 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1640 - added tests for these
1642 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1643 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1645 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1646 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1647 to the 'handles' option.
1648 - added tests and docs for this

1651 (but not changing the handles option)
1652 - added tests and docs for this
1655 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1656 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1659 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1661 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1667 the other side (perigrin)
1669 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1671 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1672 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1673 prototypes for functions
1674 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1675 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1685 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1688 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1689 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1690 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1691 - added tests for this
1693 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1695 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1711 * Moose::Meta::Class
1712 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1713 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1714 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1716 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1717 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1719 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1720 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1721 so this release is just to fix that.
1724 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1725 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1726 (thanks to konobi for this)
1727 - added tests and docs
1729 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1730 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1733 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1734 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1735 - added tests for this

1737 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1738 functions to facilitate introspection.
1740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1741 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1742 to build the list of delegated methods
1743 correctly (and not override important
1744 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1746 - added tests and docs for this
1747 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1748 so that you can actually document your
1749 attributes and inspect them through the
1751 - added tests and docs for this
1753 * Moose::Meta::Class
1754 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1755 it will first look in for the class in the
1756 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1757 then default to just loading $name.
1758 - added tests and docs for this
1760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1761 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1762 - added test for this
1765 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1766 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1767 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1768 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1770 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1771 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1774 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1776 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1777 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1778 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1781 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1782 !! for this developer release to work !!
1784 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1785 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1786 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1787 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1788 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1789 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1790 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1791 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1792 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1793 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1794 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1796 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1797 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1798 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1799 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1802 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1804 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1805 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1806 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1808 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1810 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1811 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1814 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1815 called unless they actually need to be.
1816 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1817 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1818 DEMOLISH method present.
1820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1821 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1822 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1823 type constraint, which allows for a
1824 hand optimized version of the type
1825 constraint to be used when possible.
1826 - Any internally created type constraints
1827 now provide an optimized version as well.
1829 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1831 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1832 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1833 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1836 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1837 your class namespace of these exported
1840 * Moose::Meta::Class
1841 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1842 comes up during global destruction
1844 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1848 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1852 - changed how we do type checks so that
1853 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1856 - moved accessor generation methods to
1857 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1858 conform to the API changes from
1861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1862 - changed how constraints are compiled
1863 so that we do less recursion and more
1864 iteration. This makes the type check
1866 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1870 - created this from methods formerly found in
1871 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1873 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1874 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1876 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1877 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1879 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1880 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1882 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1885 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1886 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1887 - added tests for this
1888 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1889 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1890 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1891 - removed tests for this
1893 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1895 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1896 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1897 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1900 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1901 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1902 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1904 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1905 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1906 comments for more info.
1909 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1910 asked questions and common problems
1912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1913 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1914 - added tests for this
1916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1917 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1918 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1919 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1921 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1922 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1925 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1926 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1927 is much appreciated :)
1928 - added tests for this
1930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1931 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1932 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1935 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1936 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1938 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1940 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1941 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1945 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1946 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1947 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1949 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1951 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1954 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1955 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1956 keywords because we need to localize them.
1957 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1959 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1960 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1961 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1964 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1967 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1968 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1969 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1972 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1973 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1974 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1976 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1978 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1979 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1980 bottom of your class file.
1983 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1986 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1988 - improved error message when loading modules so
1989 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1990 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1991 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1994 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1995 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1996 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1998 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1999 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2001 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2002 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2003 turn them on for you.
2004 - added tests for this
2005 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2006 in Moose::Meta::Class
2009 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2010 automatically turned on for you.
2011 - added tests for this
2014 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2015 - added tests for this
2016 - added some more edge case tests
2018 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
2019 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2021 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2025 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2029 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2032 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2033 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2034 - This release works in combination with
2035 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2036 release because it uses the a new
2037 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2038 complete Role implementation. It has
2039 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2040 the the previous CPAN version. This
2041 release also lacks good updated docs,
2042 the official release will have updated docs.
2045 - refactored the keyword exports
2046 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2047 accepts more than one Role at a time
2048 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2049 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2052 - refactored the keyword exports
2053 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2054 accepts more than one Role at a time
2056 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2057 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2058 string enumerations which can be used as
2060 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2063 - more careful checking of params to new()
2066 - much work done on the role composition
2067 - many new tests for conflict detection
2068 and composition edge cases
2069 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2070 looking at the tests
2072 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2073 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2074 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2076 * Moose::Meta::Class
2077 - some small changes to support the new
2079 - some small additions to support Roles
2081 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2082 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2084 - some small changes to support the new
2086 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2087 with the 'handles' option
2088 - added several tests for this
2089 - no docs for this yet
2091 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2093 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2094 thanks to chansen for this commit
2095 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2096 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2097 on a per-attribute basis
2098 - added tests for this
2099 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2100 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2101 experimental feature and probably not finished
2102 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
