1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.56, all
6 XS based functionality is now optional
7 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
8 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
9 can now be used to force non-XS versions
11 - several of the packages have been tweaked
12 to take care of this, mostly we added
13 support for the package_name and name
14 variables in all the Method metaclasses
15 - before/around/after method modifiers now
16 support regexp matching of names
17 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
18 - tests added for this
19 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
20 is currently not supported in roles,
21 but, ... patches welcome
22 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
23 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
24 the stack trace is usually not helpful
27 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
28 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
29 the stack trace is usually not helpful
30 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
31 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
32 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
35 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
36 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
37 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
41 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
45 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
47 - added tests for this
48 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
49 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
51 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
52 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
53 themselves parameterizable types
55 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
56 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
57 called by the inlined immutable
59 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
61 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
62 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
63 (if possible) to create the anon-class
64 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
66 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
67 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
71 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
72 causing occasional cpantester failures
73 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
74 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
76 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
78 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
79 show where the error is (thanks mst)
82 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
83 ->body when looping through the
84 methods, to avoid the overloaded
86 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
87 eating the $@ values, and so not
88 working correctly, it still kind of
89 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
90 - added tests for this
92 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
93 - added new recipe for immutable
94 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
96 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
97 - added new recipe for builder and
98 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

102 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
105 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
107 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
108 since Module::Install has done that.

112 drink more coffee before
113 doing release engineering
115 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

120 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
121 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

230 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
232 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
233 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
234 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

272 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
274 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
275 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
276 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
277 it ever did this originally, this means we now

570 when they encounter overriden or modified
571 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
572 - added tests for this
574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
575 - fixed the type notation parser so that
576 the | always creates a union and so is
577 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
578 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
580 - added more tests for this
582 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
585 * Parameterized Types
586 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
587 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
588 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
589 They can also be nested:
590 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
591 And work with the type unions as well:
592 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
594 * Better Framework Extendability
595 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
596 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
597 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
598 section of the Moose.pm docs.
601 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
602 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
603 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
604 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

754 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
755 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
756 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
757 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
758 the other side (perigrin)
760 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
762 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
763 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
764 prototypes for functions
765 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
766 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
767 - added tests and docs for this
768 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
769 default for where be { 1 }
770 - added test for this
772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
773 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
774 merlyn for finding this bug
775 - tests added for this
776 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
779 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
780 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
781 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
782 - added tests for this
784 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
786 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
787 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
788 - altered unimport tests to handle this

798 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
799 where not handled correctly in roles
800 - added tests for this
803 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
804 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
805 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
807 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
808 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

811 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
812 so this release is just to fix that.
815 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
816 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
817 (thanks to konobi for this)
818 - added tests and docs
820 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

828 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
829 functions to facilitate introspection.
831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

834 correctly (and not override important
835 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
837 - added tests and docs for this
838 - added the 'documentation' attributes
839 so that you can actually document your
840 attributes and inspect them through the
842 - added tests and docs for this
845 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
846 it will first look in for the class in the
847 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
848 then default to just loading $name.
849 - added tests and docs for this
851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
852 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
853 - added test for this
856 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
857 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
858 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
859 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
861 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
862 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
865 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
867 - added tests to show types and subtypes
868 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
869 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
872 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
873 !! for this developer release to work !!
875 This release was primarily adding the immutable
876 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
877 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
878 as immutable it will perform various bits of
879 memoization and inline certain part of the code
880 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
881 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
882 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
883 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
884 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
885 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
887 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
888 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
889 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
890 truely interested in what was changed, please do
893 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
894 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
895 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
896 are have a type constraint and lazy.
897 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
899 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
901 There are some speed improvements in this release,
902 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
905 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
906 called unless they actually need to be.
907 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
908 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
909 DEMOLISH method present.
911 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
913 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
914 type constraint, which allows for a
915 hand optimized version of the type
916 constraint to be used when possible.
917 - Any internally created type constraints
918 now provide an optimized version as well.
920 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
922 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
923 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
924 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
927 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
928 your class namespace of these exported
932 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
933 comes up during global destruction
935 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
939 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
943 - changed how we do type checks so that
944 we reduce the overall cost, but still
947 - moved accessor generation methods to
948 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
949 conform to the API changes from
952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
953 - changed how constraints are compiled
954 so that we do less recursion and more
955 iteration. This makes the type check
957 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
961 - created this from methods formerly found in
962 Moose::Meta::Attribute
964 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
965 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
968 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
970 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
971 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
973 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
976 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
977 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
978 - added tests for this
979 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
980 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
981 broke predicates in an ugly way.
982 - removed tests for this
984 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
986 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
987 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
988 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
991 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
992 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
993 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
995 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
996 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
997 comments for more info.
1000 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1001 asked questions and common problems
1003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1004 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1005 - added tests for this
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1008 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1009 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1010 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1012 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1013 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1016 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1017 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1018 is much appreciated :)
1019 - added tests for this
1021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1022 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1023 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1027 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1029 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1031 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1032 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1036 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1037 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1038 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1040 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1042 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1045 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1046 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1047 keywords because we need to localize them.
1048 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1050 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1051 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1052 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1055 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1059 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1060 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1063 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1064 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1065 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1067 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1069 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1070 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1071 bottom of your class file.
1074 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1077 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1079 - improved error message when loading modules so
1080 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1081 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1082 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1085 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1086 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1087 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1124 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1125 - This release works in combination with
1126 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1127 release because it uses the a new
1128 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1129 complete Role implementation. It has
1130 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1131 the the previous CPAN version. This
1132 release also lacks good updated docs,
1133 the official release will have updated docs.
1136 - refactored the keyword exports
1137 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1138 accepts more than one Role at a time

1157 - much work done on the role composition
1158 - many new tests for conflict detection
1159 and composition edge cases
1160 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1161 looking at the tests

1186 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1187 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1188 on a per-attribute basis
1189 - added tests for this
1190 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1191 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1192 experimental feature and probably not finished

1194 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1195 - added tests for this
