8 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
9 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
11 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
12 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
15 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
16 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
17 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
18 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
19 coincidental exception. (t0m).
20 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
22 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
23 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
25 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
27 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
28 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
32 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required

34 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
35 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
37 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
39 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
40 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
42 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
43 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
44 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
45 - added test for this (t0m)
47 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
48 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
49 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
51 - added test for this (t0m)
54 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
55 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
56 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
59 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
60 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
62 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
64 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
67 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
68 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
69 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
72 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
75 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

77 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
78 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
82 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
83 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
84 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
87 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
88 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
89 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
90 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
93 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
97 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
98 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
99 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
101 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

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

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

281 (late night release engineering)--
283 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
284 changes in this release
286 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
287 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
288 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

329 is currently not supported in roles,
330 but, ... patches welcome
331 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
332 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
333 the stack trace is usually not helpful
336 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
337 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
338 the stack trace is usually not helpful

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

764 - basic support for coercion to ArrayRef and
765 HashRef for containers (sartak)
766 - added tests for this
768 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
769 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
770 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
771 types without having to explictly define them
772 - added tests for this
774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
775 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
776 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
778 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

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

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

832 - added tests for this
835 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
836 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
839 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
840 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
841 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
843 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

875 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
878 - fixed how required methods are handled
879 when they encounter overriden or modified
880 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
881 - added tests for this
883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
884 - fixed the type notation parser so that
885 the | always creates a union and so is
886 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
887 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
889 - added more tests for this
891 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
894 * Parameterized Types
895 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
896 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
897 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
898 They can also be nested:
899 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
900 And work with the type unions as well:
901 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
903 * Better Framework Extendability
904 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
905 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
906 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
907 section of the Moose.pm docs.
910 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
911 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
912 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
913 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
916 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
918 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
919 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
922 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
923 set it to inline the accessors

950 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
952 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
953 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
954 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
955 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
957 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
958 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
959 - updated the accompanying test as well
961 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
962 +++ with new features added as well +++
964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

966 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
967 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
968 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
970 - added tests for this
972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
973 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
974 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
975 can track where the type constraints are created
977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
978 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
979 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
981 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
982 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
983 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
984 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

997 under 'isa' in 'has' for how to define a new type
1000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1001 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1002 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
1003 - added tests for this

1006 - added tests for this
1008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1011 - type-constraint tests now handle overloaded objects correctly

1040 - added tests for these
1042 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1043 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1046 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1047 to the 'handles' option.
1048 - added tests and docs for this

1051 (but not changing the handles option)
1052 - added tests and docs for this
1055 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1056 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1059 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1061 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1067 the other side (perigrin)
1069 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1071 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1072 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1073 prototypes for functions
1074 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1075 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1085 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1088 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1089 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1090 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1091 - added tests for this
1093 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1095 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1113 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1114 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1116 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1117 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1119 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1120 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1121 so this release is just to fix that.
1124 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1125 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1126 (thanks to konobi for this)
1127 - added tests and docs
1129 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1130 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1133 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1134 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1135 - added tests for this
1136 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1137 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1138 functions to facilitate introspection.
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1142 to build the list of delegated methods
1143 correctly (and not override important
1144 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1146 - added tests and docs for this
1147 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1148 so that you can actually document your
1149 attributes and inspect them through the
1151 - added tests and docs for this
1153 * Moose::Meta::Class
1154 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1155 it will first look in for the class in the
1156 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1157 then default to just loading $name.
1158 - added tests and docs for this
1160 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1161 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1162 - added test for this
1165 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1166 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1167 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1168 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1170 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1171 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1174 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1176 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1177 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1178 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1181 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1182 !! for this developer release to work !!
1184 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1185 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1186 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1187 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1188 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1189 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1190 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1191 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1192 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1193 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1194 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1196 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1197 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1198 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1199 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1202 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1203 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1204 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1205 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1206 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1208 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1210 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1211 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1214 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1215 called unless they actually need to be.
1216 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1217 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1218 DEMOLISH method present.
1220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1221 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1222 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1223 type constraint, which allows for a
1224 hand optimized version of the type
1225 constraint to be used when possible.
1226 - Any internally created type constraints
1227 now provide an optimized version as well.
1229 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1231 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1232 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1233 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1236 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1237 your class namespace of these exported
1240 * Moose::Meta::Class
1241 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1242 comes up during global destruction
1244 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1248 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1252 - changed how we do type checks so that
1253 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1256 - moved accessor generation methods to
1257 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1258 conform to the API changes from
1261 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1262 - changed how constraints are compiled
1263 so that we do less recursion and more
1264 iteration. This makes the type check
1266 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1270 - created this from methods formerly found in
1271 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1274 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1277 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1279 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1280 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1282 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1285 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1286 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1287 - added tests for this
1288 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1289 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1290 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1291 - removed tests for this
1293 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1295 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1296 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1297 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1300 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1301 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1302 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1304 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1305 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1306 comments for more info.
1309 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1310 asked questions and common problems
1312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1313 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1314 - added tests for this
1316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1317 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1318 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1319 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1321 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1322 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1325 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1326 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1327 is much appreciated :)
1328 - added tests for this
1330 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1331 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1332 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1336 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1338 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1340 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1341 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1345 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1346 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1347 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1349 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1351 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1354 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1355 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1356 keywords because we need to localize them.
1357 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1359 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1360 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1361 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1364 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1368 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1369 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1372 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1373 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1374 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1376 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1378 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1379 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1380 bottom of your class file.
1383 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1386 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1388 - improved error message when loading modules so
1389 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1390 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1391 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1394 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1395 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1396 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1398 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1399 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1401 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1402 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1403 turn them on for you.
1404 - added tests for this
1405 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1406 in Moose::Meta::Class
1409 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1410 automatically turned on for you.
1411 - added tests for this
1414 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1415 - added tests for this
1416 - added some more edge case tests
1418 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
1419 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1421 - added prototypes to the exported subs

1428 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1429 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1432 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1433 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1434 - This release works in combination with
1435 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1436 release because it uses the a new
1437 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1438 complete Role implementation. It has
1439 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1440 the the previous CPAN version. This
1441 release also lacks good updated docs,
1442 the official release will have updated docs.
1445 - refactored the keyword exports
1446 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1447 accepts more than one Role at a time
1448 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1449 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1452 - refactored the keyword exports
1453 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1454 accepts more than one Role at a time
1456 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1457 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1458 string enumerations which can be used as
1460 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1463 - more careful checking of params to new()
1466 - much work done on the role composition
1467 - many new tests for conflict detection
1468 and composition edge cases
1469 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1470 looking at the tests
1472 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1473 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1474 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1476 * Moose::Meta::Class

1493 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1494 thanks to chansen for this commit
1495 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1496 to support custom attribute meta-classes

1500 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1501 experimental feature and probably not finished
