14 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
16 drink more coffee before
17 doing release engineering
19 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
20 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
21 modules. This fixes that.
23 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
24 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
25 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

47 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
50 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
51 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the

131 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
132 - I hate Pod::Coverage
134 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
136 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
137 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
138 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

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

395 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

403 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
404 - added tests for this
405 - added docs for this
407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
408 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
409 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
410 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
411 instead it will just return undef.
412 - added docs for this

434 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
435 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
436 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
438 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

474 when they encounter overriden or modified
475 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
476 - added tests for this
478 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
479 - fixed the type notation parser so that
480 the | always creates a union and so is
481 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
482 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
484 - added more tests for this
486 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
489 * Parameterized Types
490 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
491 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
492 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
493 They can also be nested:
494 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
495 And work with the type unions as well:
496 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
498 * Better Framework Extendability
499 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
500 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
501 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
502 section of the Moose.pm docs.
505 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
506 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
507 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
508 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

742 - added the 'documentation' attributes
743 so that you can actually document your
744 attributes and inspect them through the
746 - added tests and docs for this
749 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
750 it will first look in for the class in the
751 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
752 then default to just loading $name.
753 - added tests and docs for this
755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
756 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
757 - added test for this
760 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
761 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
762 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
763 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
765 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
766 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
769 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
771 - added tests to show types and subtypes
772 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
773 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
776 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
777 !! for this developer release to work !!
779 This release was primarily adding the immutable
780 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
781 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
782 as immutable it will perform various bits of
783 memoization and inline certain part of the code
784 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
785 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
786 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
787 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
788 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
789 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
791 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
792 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
793 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
794 truely interested in what was changed, please do
797 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
799 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
800 are have a type constraint and lazy.
801 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
803 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
805 There are some speed improvements in this release,
806 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
809 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
810 called unless they actually need to be.
811 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
812 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
813 DEMOLISH method present.
815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
816 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
817 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
818 type constraint, which allows for a
819 hand optimized version of the type
820 constraint to be used when possible.
821 - Any internally created type constraints
822 now provide an optimized version as well.
824 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
826 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
827 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
828 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
831 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
832 your class namespace of these exported
836 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
837 comes up during global destruction
839 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
843 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
847 - changed how we do type checks so that
848 we reduce the overall cost, but still
851 - moved accessor generation methods to
852 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
853 conform to the API changes from
856 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
857 - changed how constraints are compiled
858 so that we do less recursion and more
859 iteration. This makes the type check
861 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
865 - created this from methods formerly found in
866 Moose::Meta::Attribute
868 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
869 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
871 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
872 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
875 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
877 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
880 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
881 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
882 - added tests for this
883 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
884 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
885 broke predicates in an ugly way.
886 - removed tests for this
888 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
890 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
891 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
892 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
895 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
896 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
897 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
899 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
900 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
901 comments for more info.
904 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
905 asked questions and common problems
907 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
908 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
909 - added tests for this
911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
912 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
913 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
914 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
916 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
917 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
920 - added basic support for runtime role composition
921 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
922 is much appreciated :)
923 - added tests for this
925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
926 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
927 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
931 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
933 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
935 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
936 - properly capturing error when type constraint
940 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
941 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
942 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
944 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
946 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
949 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
950 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
951 keywords because we need to localize them.
952 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
954 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
955 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
956 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
959 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
962 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
963 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
964 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
967 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
968 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
969 - fixed tests to reflect this change
971 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
973 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
974 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
975 bottom of your class file.
978 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
981 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
983 - improved error message when loading modules so
984 it is less confusing when you load a role.
985 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
986 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
989 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
990 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
991 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
993 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
994 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
996 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
997 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
998 turn them on for you.
999 - added tests for this
1000 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1001 in Moose::Meta::Class
1004 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1005 automatically turned on for you.

1028 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1029 - This release works in combination with
1030 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1031 release because it uses the a new
1032 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1033 complete Role implementation. It has
1034 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1035 the the previous CPAN version. This
1036 release also lacks good updated docs,
1037 the official release will have updated docs.
1040 - refactored the keyword exports
1041 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1042 accepts more than one Role at a time

1048 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1049 accepts more than one Role at a time
1051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1053 string enumerations which can be used as
1055 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1058 - more careful checking of params to new()
1061 - much work done on the role composition
1062 - many new tests for conflict detection
1063 and composition edge cases
1064 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1065 looking at the tests
1067 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1068 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1069 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

1079 - some small changes to support the new
1081 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1082 with the 'handles' option
1083 - added several tests for this
1084 - no docs for this yet
1086 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1088 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1089 thanks to chansen for this commit
1090 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1091 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1092 on a per-attribute basis
1093 - added tests for this
1094 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1095 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1096 experimental feature and probably not finished

1161 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
1163 - added test for this
