1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
6 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
7 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
8 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
9 instead. Reported by doy.
11 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
13 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
14 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
16 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
17 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
18 message) is now deprecated.
19 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
20 often got it wrong. For example:
22 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
24 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
28 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
29 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
30 bite you in weird cases.
32 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
33 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
34 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
37 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
38 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
42 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
45 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline POD
46 to ensure they don't get out of sync. (Dave Rolsky)
49 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
50 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
52 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
53 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
56 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
57 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
58 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
59 - added tests for this (stevan)
61 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
62 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
63 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
64 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
68 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
69 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
70 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
71 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
73 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
74 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
75 - added tests for this (rafl)
77 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
78 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
79 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
80 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
84 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
85 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
88 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
89 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
90 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
92 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
94 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
95 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
98 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
99 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
100 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
101 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
104 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
105 error message did not specify the attribute name
108 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
110 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
112 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
113 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
114 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
117 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
120 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
122 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
123 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
124 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
125 of fixes and formatting improvements.
127 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
129 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
130 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
131 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
132 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
135 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
136 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
139 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
140 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
141 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
142 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
145 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
146 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
147 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
148 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
151 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
152 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
153 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
154 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
155 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
157 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
158 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
159 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
160 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
161 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
162 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
164 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
165 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
167 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
168 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
169 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
170 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
173 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
176 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
180 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
181 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
183 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
184 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
185 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
188 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
190 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
193 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
194 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
195 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
198 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
201 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
202 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
204 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
206 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
209 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
210 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
211 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
212 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
213 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
214 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
217 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
218 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
219 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
220 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
221 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
222 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
223 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
224 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
225 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
227 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
229 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
230 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
233 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
234 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
235 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
237 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
238 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
239 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
240 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
241 same methods for a single role did not work
242 right (worked just fine with multiple
244 - added test for this (stevan)
246 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
247 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
248 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
251 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
252 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
253 - added test for this (t0m)
256 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
257 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
258 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
261 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
262 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
263 - added test for this (t0m)
265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
266 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
267 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
268 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
269 - added test for this (perigrin)
272 - create method for constructing a role
274 - added test for this (Sartak)
275 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
276 - added test for this (Sartak)
279 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
281 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
282 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
283 methods is useful (Sartak)
285 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
287 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
291 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
292 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
293 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
294 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
295 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
296 - added tests for this (jdv79)
299 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
300 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
302 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
303 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
304 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
305 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
306 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
308 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
310 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
311 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
312 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
315 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
316 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
317 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
318 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
319 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
320 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
324 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
325 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
326 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
327 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
328 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
329 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
330 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
331 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
332 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
333 future. (jnapiorkowski)
335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
336 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
340 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
341 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
342 type. (jnapiorkowski)
343 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
345 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
347 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
348 predicate, and link to more details sections in
349 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
351 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
352 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
355 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
356 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
357 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
360 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
361 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
363 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
365 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
366 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
369 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
370 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
375 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
376 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
379 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
382 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
383 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
384 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
385 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
386 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
387 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
388 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
390 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
391 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
392 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
394 * Roles and role application
395 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
396 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
397 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
398 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
399 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
401 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
402 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
405 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
406 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
407 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
408 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
409 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
412 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
413 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
414 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
415 changes in the Moose internals.
417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
419 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
422 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
423 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
424 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
425 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
428 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
429 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
430 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
433 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
434 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
435 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
436 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
437 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
438 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
439 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
440 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
441 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
442 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
443 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
444 constraint implementations.
446 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
450 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
451 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
452 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
453 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
454 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
455 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
456 - added tests for this (rafl)
459 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
460 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
461 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
462 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
463 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
464 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
465 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
466 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
469 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
470 - added tests for this (thepler)
472 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
473 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
474 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
475 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
480 * Moose::Meta::Method
483 * Moose::Error::Default
484 * Moose::Error::Croak
485 * Moose::Error::Confess
486 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
487 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
488 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
489 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
490 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
491 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
493 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
495 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
496 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
499 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
500 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
501 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
504 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
505 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
506 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
507 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
510 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
511 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
513 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
514 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
515 several major changes in this release of Moose.
516 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
519 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
521 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
522 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
524 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
529 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
530 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
532 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
534 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
535 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
536 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
537 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
538 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
539 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
542 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
543 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
545 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
546 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
547 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
550 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
551 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
552 dependency to 0.64_07.
554 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
555 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
556 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
559 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
563 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
564 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
565 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
566 coincidental exception. (t0m).
567 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
570 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
572 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
574 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
575 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
579 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
580 method when that method was provided by another role being
581 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
582 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
584 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
586 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
587 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
590 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
591 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
592 - added test for this (t0m)
594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
595 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
596 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
598 - added test for this (t0m)
601 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
602 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
603 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
606 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
607 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
609 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
611 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
614 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
615 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
616 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
618 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
619 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
622 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
623 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
624 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
625 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
629 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
630 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
631 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
634 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
635 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
636 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
637 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
640 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
644 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
645 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
646 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
648 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
650 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
651 created so that the process can be more easily
652 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
655 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
656 the type constraints (RT #37569)
657 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
660 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
663 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
664 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
666 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
667 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
668 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
670 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
671 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
672 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
674 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
675 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
677 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
678 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
681 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
682 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
686 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
687 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
689 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
690 ... this is not my day today ...
692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
693 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
694 clone_and_inherit options still works for
695 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
696 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
699 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
700 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
701 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
702 in this release, except the fact that it includes
703 the changes that I didn't include in the last
706 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
708 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
709 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
710 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
711 this is not ever something you want to do
712 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
713 - added tests for this (stevan)
716 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
718 - added test for this

730 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
731 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
734 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
736 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
738 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
741 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
742 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
743 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
744 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
745 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
746 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
747 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
748 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
749 - added tests for this
751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
752 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
753 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

828 (late night release engineering)--
830 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
831 changes in this release
833 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
834 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
835 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
838 - some optimizations of the &initialize method

859 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
861 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
862 XS based functionality is now optional
863 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

876 is currently not supported in roles,
877 but, ... patches welcome
878 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
879 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
880 the stack trace is usually not helpful

884 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
885 the stack trace is usually not helpful

935 show where the error is (thanks mst)
938 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
939 ->body when looping through the
940 methods, to avoid the overloaded

1086 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1088 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1422 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1425 - fixed how required methods are handled
1426 when they encounter overriden or modified
1427 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1428 - added tests for this
1430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1431 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1432 the | always creates a union and so is
1433 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1434 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1436 - added more tests for this
1438 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1441 * Parameterized Types
1442 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1443 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1444 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1445 They can also be nested:
1446 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1447 And work with the type unions as well:
1448 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1450 * Better Framework Extendability
1451 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1452 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1453 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1454 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1457 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1458 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1459 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1460 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1463 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1465 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

1525 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1526 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1528 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

1545 (thanks to shlomif).
1547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1548 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1549 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

1614 the other side (perigrin)
1616 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1619 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1620 prototypes for functions
1621 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1622 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1632 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1635 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1636 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1637 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1638 - added tests for this
1640 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1642 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1663 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1664 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1666 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1667 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1668 so this release is just to fix that.
1671 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1672 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1673 (thanks to konobi for this)
1674 - added tests and docs
1676 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1680 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1681 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1682 - added tests for this

1684 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1685 functions to facilitate introspection.
1687 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1688 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1689 to build the list of delegated methods
1690 correctly (and not override important
1691 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1693 - added tests and docs for this
1694 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1695 so that you can actually document your
1696 attributes and inspect them through the
1698 - added tests and docs for this
1700 * Moose::Meta::Class
1701 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1702 it will first look in for the class in the
1703 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1704 then default to just loading $name.
1705 - added tests and docs for this
1707 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1708 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1709 - added test for this
1712 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1713 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1714 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1715 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1717 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1718 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1721 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1723 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1724 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1725 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1728 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1729 !! for this developer release to work !!
1731 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1732 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1733 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1734 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1735 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1736 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1737 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1738 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1739 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1740 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1741 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1743 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1744 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1745 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1746 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1749 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1751 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1752 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1753 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1755 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1757 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1758 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1761 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1762 called unless they actually need to be.
1763 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1764 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1765 DEMOLISH method present.
1767 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1769 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1770 type constraint, which allows for a
1771 hand optimized version of the type
1772 constraint to be used when possible.
1773 - Any internally created type constraints
1774 now provide an optimized version as well.
1776 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1778 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1779 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1780 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1783 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1784 your class namespace of these exported
1787 * Moose::Meta::Class
1788 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1789 comes up during global destruction
1791 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1795 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1799 - changed how we do type checks so that
1800 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1803 - moved accessor generation methods to
1804 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1805 conform to the API changes from
1808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1809 - changed how constraints are compiled
1810 so that we do less recursion and more
1811 iteration. This makes the type check
1813 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1817 - created this from methods formerly found in
1818 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1820 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1821 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1823 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1824 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1827 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1829 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1832 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1833 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1834 - added tests for this
1835 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1836 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1837 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1838 - removed tests for this
1840 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1842 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1843 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1844 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1847 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1848 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1849 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1851 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1852 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1853 comments for more info.
1856 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1857 asked questions and common problems
1859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1860 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1861 - added tests for this
1863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1864 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1865 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1866 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1868 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1869 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1872 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1873 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1874 is much appreciated :)
1875 - added tests for this
1877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1878 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1879 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1882 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1883 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1885 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1887 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1888 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1892 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1893 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1894 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1896 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1898 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1901 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1902 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1903 keywords because we need to localize them.
1904 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1906 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1907 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1908 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1911 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1914 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1915 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1916 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1919 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1920 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1921 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1923 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1925 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1926 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1927 bottom of your class file.
1930 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1933 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1935 - improved error message when loading modules so
1936 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1937 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1938 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1941 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1942 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1943 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1945 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1946 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1948 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1949 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1950 turn them on for you.
1951 - added tests for this
1952 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1953 in Moose::Meta::Class
1956 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1957 automatically turned on for you.

1976 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1979 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1980 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1981 - This release works in combination with
1982 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1983 release because it uses the a new
1984 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1985 complete Role implementation. It has
1986 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1987 the the previous CPAN version. This
1988 release also lacks good updated docs,
1989 the official release will have updated docs.
1992 - refactored the keyword exports
1993 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1994 accepts more than one Role at a time
1995 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1996 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1999 - refactored the keyword exports
2000 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2001 accepts more than one Role at a time
2003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2004 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2005 string enumerations which can be used as
2007 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2010 - more careful checking of params to new()
2013 - much work done on the role composition
2014 - many new tests for conflict detection
2015 and composition edge cases
2016 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2017 looking at the tests
2019 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2020 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2021 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2023 * Moose::Meta::Class

2026 - some small additions to support Roles
2028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2031 - some small changes to support the new
2033 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2034 with the 'handles' option
2035 - added several tests for this
2036 - no docs for this yet
2038 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2040 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2041 thanks to chansen for this commit
2042 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2043 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2044 on a per-attribute basis
2045 - added tests for this
2046 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2047 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2048 experimental feature and probably not finished
2049 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2050 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2051 - added tests for this
2054 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2066 construct_instance (for the better)
2068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2069 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2070 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
