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)
17 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
18 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
19 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
22 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
23 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
24 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
25 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
27 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
28 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
29 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
30 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
32 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
33 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
34 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
35 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
36 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
37 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
38 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
39 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
40 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
41 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
42 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
43 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
44 constraint implementations.
46 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
50 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
51 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
52 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
53 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
54 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
55 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
56 - added tests for this (rafl)
59 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
60 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
61 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
62 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
63 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
64 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
65 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
67 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
69 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
70 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
73 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
74 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
75 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
77 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
78 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
79 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
80 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
81 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
84 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
85 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
87 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
88 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
89 several major changes in this release of Moose.
90 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
93 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
95 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
96 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
98 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
103 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
104 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
106 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.

109 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
110 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
111 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
112 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
113 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
116 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
117 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
119 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
120 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
121 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
124 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
125 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
126 dependency to 0.64_07.
128 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
129 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
130 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
133 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
137 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
138 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
139 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
140 coincidental exception. (t0m).
141 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
143 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
144 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
146 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
148 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
149 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
153 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
154 method when that method was provided by another role being
155 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
156 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
158 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
160 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
161 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!

165 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
166 - added test for this (t0m)
168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
169 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
170 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
172 - added test for this (t0m)
175 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
176 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
177 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
180 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
181 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
183 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
185 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
188 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
189 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
190 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
192 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
193 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
196 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
197 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
198 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
199 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
203 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
204 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
205 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
208 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
209 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
210 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
211 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
214 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
218 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

237 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
238 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
240 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
241 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
242 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

261 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
263 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
264 ... this is not my day today ...
266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
267 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
268 clone_and_inherit options still works for
269 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
270 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
273 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
274 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
275 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
276 in this release, except the fact that it includes
277 the changes that I didn't include in the last
280 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
282 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
283 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
284 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
285 this is not ever something you want to do
286 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

315 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
316 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
317 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
318 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
319 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
320 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
321 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
322 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
323 - added tests for this
325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
326 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
327 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

402 (late night release engineering)--
404 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
405 changes in this release
407 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
408 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
409 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

422 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
423 method for immutablization to check if the
424 destructor object even needs to be created

446 support regexp matching of names
447 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
448 - tests added for this
449 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
450 is currently not supported in roles,
451 but, ... patches welcome
452 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
453 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
454 the stack trace is usually not helpful
457 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
458 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
459 the stack trace is usually not helpful
460 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

508 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
509 show where the error is (thanks mst)
512 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
513 ->body when looping through the
514 methods, to avoid the overloaded
516 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
517 eating the $@ values, and so not

550 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
551 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
553 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

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

921 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
923 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

928 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
929 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.

931 - added docs for this
933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
934 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

996 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
999 - fixed how required methods are handled
1000 when they encounter overriden or modified
1001 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1002 - added tests for this
1004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1005 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1006 the | always creates a union and so is
1007 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1008 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1010 - added more tests for this
1012 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1015 * Parameterized Types
1016 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1017 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1018 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1019 They can also be nested:
1020 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1021 And work with the type unions as well:
1022 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1024 * Better Framework Extendability
1025 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1026 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1027 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1028 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1031 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1032 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1033 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1034 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1037 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1039 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1040 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1188 the other side (perigrin)
1190 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1192 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1193 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1194 prototypes for functions
1195 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1196 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1206 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1209 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1210 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1211 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1212 - added tests for this
1214 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1216 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1238 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1240 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1241 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1242 so this release is just to fix that.
1245 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1246 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1247 (thanks to konobi for this)

1258 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1259 functions to facilitate introspection.
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1262 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1263 to build the list of delegated methods
1264 correctly (and not override important
1265 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1267 - added tests and docs for this
1268 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1269 so that you can actually document your
1270 attributes and inspect them through the
1272 - added tests and docs for this
1274 * Moose::Meta::Class
1275 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1276 it will first look in for the class in the
1277 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1278 then default to just loading $name.
1279 - added tests and docs for this
1281 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1282 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1283 - added test for this
1286 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1287 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1288 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1289 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1291 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1292 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1295 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1297 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1298 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1299 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1302 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1303 !! for this developer release to work !!
1305 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1306 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1307 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1308 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1309 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1310 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1311 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1312 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1313 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1314 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1315 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1317 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1318 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1319 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1320 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1323 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1324 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1325 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1326 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1327 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1329 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1331 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1332 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1335 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1336 called unless they actually need to be.
1337 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1338 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1339 DEMOLISH method present.
1341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1342 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1343 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1344 type constraint, which allows for a
1345 hand optimized version of the type
1346 constraint to be used when possible.
1347 - Any internally created type constraints
1348 now provide an optimized version as well.
1350 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1352 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1353 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1354 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1357 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1358 your class namespace of these exported
1361 * Moose::Meta::Class
1362 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1363 comes up during global destruction
1365 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1369 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1373 - changed how we do type checks so that
1374 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1377 - moved accessor generation methods to
1378 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1379 conform to the API changes from
1382 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1383 - changed how constraints are compiled
1384 so that we do less recursion and more
1385 iteration. This makes the type check
1387 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1391 - created this from methods formerly found in
1392 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1394 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1395 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1398 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1401 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1403 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1406 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1407 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1408 - added tests for this
1409 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1410 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1411 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1412 - removed tests for this
1414 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1416 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1417 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1418 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1421 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1422 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1423 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1425 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1426 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1427 comments for more info.
1430 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1431 asked questions and common problems
1433 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1434 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1435 - added tests for this
1437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1438 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1439 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1440 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1442 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1443 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1446 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1447 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1448 is much appreciated :)
1449 - added tests for this
1451 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1452 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1453 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1456 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1457 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1459 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1461 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1462 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1466 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1467 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1468 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1470 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1472 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1475 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1476 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1477 keywords because we need to localize them.
1478 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1480 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1481 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1482 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1485 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1489 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1490 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1493 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1494 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1495 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1497 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1499 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1500 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1501 bottom of your class file.
1504 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1507 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1509 - improved error message when loading modules so
1510 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1511 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1512 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1515 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1516 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1517 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1520 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1522 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1523 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1524 turn them on for you.
1525 - added tests for this
1526 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1527 in Moose::Meta::Class
1530 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1531 automatically turned on for you.
1532 - added tests for this
1535 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1536 - added tests for this
1537 - added some more edge case tests

1553 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1554 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1555 - This release works in combination with
1556 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1557 release because it uses the a new
1558 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1559 complete Role implementation. It has
1560 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1561 the the previous CPAN version. This
1562 release also lacks good updated docs,
1563 the official release will have updated docs.
1566 - refactored the keyword exports
1567 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1568 accepts more than one Role at a time
1569 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1570 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1573 - refactored the keyword exports
1574 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1575 accepts more than one Role at a time
1577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1578 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1579 string enumerations which can be used as
1581 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1584 - more careful checking of params to new()
1587 - much work done on the role composition
1588 - many new tests for conflict detection
1589 and composition edge cases
1590 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1591 looking at the tests
1593 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1594 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1595 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1597 * Moose::Meta::Class
1598 - some small changes to support the new
1600 - some small additions to support Roles
1602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1603 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1605 - some small changes to support the new
1607 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1608 with the 'handles' option
1609 - added several tests for this
1610 - no docs for this yet
1612 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1614 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1615 thanks to chansen for this commit
1616 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1617 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1618 on a per-attribute basis
1619 - added tests for this
1620 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1621 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1622 experimental feature and probably not finished
