1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
7 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
8 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
9 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
12 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
13 - I hate Pod::Coverage
15 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
17 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
18 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
19 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
20 officially support it.
21 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
22 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
25 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
26 monkeypatching of classes in one liners
29 - fixing the 'apply_all_roles' keyword so that it will not
30 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
33 - added ->create method which now supports roles (thanks to jrockway)
34 - added tests for this
35 - added ->create_anon_class which now supports roles and caching of
36 the results (thanks to jrockway)
37 - added tests for this
38 - made ->does_role a little more forgiving when it is
39 checking a Class::MOP era metaclasses.
41 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
42 - it is now possible to pass extra params to be used when
43 a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params)
44 - added tests for this
46 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
47 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
48 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
49 - added tests for this
50 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
51 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else
53 - added tests for this
56 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
57 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
59 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
60 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
61 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
62 it ever did this originally, this means we now
63 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
65 - added more delegation tests
66 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
67 support traits and their introspection.
68 - added tests for this
71 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
72 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
73 - made ->does a little more forgiving when it is
74 passed Class::MOP era metaclasses.

153 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
156 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
157 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles

213 - added this module to support the refactor
214 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
217 - refactored how these types are handled so they

241 HashRef for containers (sartak)
242 - added tests for this

247 types without having to explictly define them
248 - added tests for this
250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
251 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
252 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)

270 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
271 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
272 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

274 more type coercions for Union types)
276 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
278 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
279 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
280 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
281 - added tests for this.
282 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
283 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
284 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
285 - added tests for this
286 - added docs for this
288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
289 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
290 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
291 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
292 instead it will just return undef.
293 - added docs for this

312 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
315 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
316 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
317 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
319 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

351 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
354 - fixed how required methods are handled
355 when they encounter overriden or modified
356 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
357 - added tests for this
359 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
360 - fixed the type notation parser so that
361 the | always creates a union and so is
362 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
363 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
365 - added more tests for this
367 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
370 * Parameterized Types
371 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
372 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
373 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
374 They can also be nested:
375 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
376 And work with the type unions as well:
377 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
379 * Better Framework Extendability
380 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
381 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
382 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
383 section of the Moose.pm docs.
386 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
387 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
388 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
389 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

426 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
428 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
429 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
430 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
431 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
433 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
434 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
435 - updated the accompanying test as well

455 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
457 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
458 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

545 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
547 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
548 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
549 prototypes for functions
550 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
551 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
552 - added tests and docs for this

623 - added the 'documentation' attributes
624 so that you can actually document your
625 attributes and inspect them through the
627 - added tests and docs for this
630 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
631 it will first look in for the class in the
632 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
633 then default to just loading $name.
634 - added tests and docs for this
636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
637 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
638 - added test for this
641 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
642 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
643 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.

646 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
647 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
650 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
652 - added tests to show types and subtypes
653 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
654 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
657 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
658 !! for this developer release to work !!
660 This release was primarily adding the immutable
661 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
662 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
663 as immutable it will perform various bits of
664 memoization and inline certain part of the code
665 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
666 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
667 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
668 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
669 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
670 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
672 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
673 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
674 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
675 truely interested in what was changed, please do
678 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
680 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
681 are have a type constraint and lazy.
682 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
684 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
686 There are some speed improvements in this release,
687 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
690 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
691 called unless they actually need to be.
692 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
693 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
694 DEMOLISH method present.
696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
697 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
698 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
699 type constraint, which allows for a
700 hand optimized version of the type
701 constraint to be used when possible.
702 - Any internally created type constraints
703 now provide an optimized version as well.
705 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
707 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
708 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
709 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
711 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
712 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
713 your class namespace of these exported
717 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
718 comes up during global destruction
720 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
724 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
727 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
728 - changed how we do type checks so that
729 we reduce the overall cost, but still
732 - moved accessor generation methods to
733 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
734 conform to the API changes from
737 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
738 - changed how constraints are compiled
739 so that we do less recursion and more
740 iteration. This makes the type check
742 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
746 - created this from methods formerly found in
747 Moose::Meta::Attribute
749 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
750 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
753 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
756 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
758 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
761 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
762 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
763 - added tests for this
764 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
765 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
766 broke predicates in an ugly way.
767 - removed tests for this
769 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
771 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
772 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
773 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
776 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
777 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
778 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
780 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
781 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
782 comments for more info.
785 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
786 asked questions and common problems
788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
789 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
790 - added tests for this
792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
793 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
794 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
795 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
797 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
798 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
801 - added basic support for runtime role composition
802 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
803 is much appreciated :)
804 - added tests for this
806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
807 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
808 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
811 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
812 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
814 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
816 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
817 - properly capturing error when type constraint
821 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
822 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
823 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
825 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
827 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
830 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
831 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
832 keywords because we need to localize them.
833 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
835 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
836 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
837 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
840 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
843 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
844 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
845 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
848 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
849 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
850 - fixed tests to reflect this change
852 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
854 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
855 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
856 bottom of your class file.
859 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
862 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
864 - improved error message when loading modules so
865 it is less confusing when you load a role.
866 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
867 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
870 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
871 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
872 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
874 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
875 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
877 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
878 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
879 turn them on for you.
880 - added tests for this
881 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
882 in Moose::Meta::Class
885 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
886 automatically turned on for you.

905 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
908 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
909 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
910 - This release works in combination with
911 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
912 release because it uses the a new
913 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
914 complete Role implementation. It has
915 not yet been optimized, so it slower
916 the the previous CPAN version. This
917 release also lacks good updated docs,
918 the official release will have updated docs.
921 - refactored the keyword exports
922 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
923 accepts more than one Role at a time
924 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
925 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
928 - refactored the keyword exports
929 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
930 accepts more than one Role at a time
932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
933 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
934 string enumerations which can be used as
936 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
939 - more careful checking of params to new()
942 - much work done on the role composition
943 - many new tests for conflict detection
944 and composition edge cases
945 - not enough documentation, I suggest
948 * Moose::Meta::Instance
949 - added new Instance metaclass to support
950 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
953 - some small changes to support the new
955 - some small additions to support Roles
957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
958 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
960 - some small changes to support the new
962 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
963 with the 'handles' option
964 - added several tests for this
965 - no docs for this yet
967 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
969 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
970 thanks to chansen for this commit
971 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
972 to support custom attribute meta-classes
973 on a per-attribute basis
974 - added tests for this
975 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
976 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
977 experimental feature and probably not finished
978 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
979 more details, or ask about it on #moose
