1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
5 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
7 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
8 - verify_type_constraint method to avoid duplication and
9 enhance extensibility (Sartak)
11 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
13 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
15 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
18 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
19 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
20 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
21 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
22 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
23 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
25 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
26 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
27 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
28 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
29 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
30 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
32 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
33 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
34 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
36 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
38 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
39 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
41 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
42 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
43 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
44 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
46 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
47 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
48 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
49 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
50 same methods for a single role did not work
51 right (worked just fine with multiple
53 - added test for this (stevan)
55 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
56 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
57 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
60 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
61 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
62 - added test for this (t0m)
65 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
66 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
67 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
69 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
70 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
71 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
72 - added test for this (t0m)
74 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
75 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
76 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
77 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
78 - added test for this (perigrin)
81 - create method for constructing a role
83 - added test for this (Sartak)
84 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
85 - added test for this (Sartak)
88 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
90 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
91 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
92 methods is useful (Sartak)
94 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
95 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
96 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
100 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
101 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
102 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
103 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
104 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
105 - added tests for this (jdv79)
108 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
109 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
111 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
112 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
113 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
114 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
115 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
117 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
119 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
120 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
121 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
124 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
125 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
126 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
127 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
128 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
129 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
133 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
134 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
135 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
136 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
137 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
138 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
139 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
140 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
141 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
142 future. (jnapiorkowski)
144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
145 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
149 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
150 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
151 type. (jnapiorkowski)
152 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
154 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
156 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
157 predicate, and link to more details sections in
158 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
161 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
164 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
165 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
166 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
169 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
170 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
172 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
174 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
175 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
178 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
179 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
184 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
185 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
188 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
191 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
192 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
193 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
194 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
195 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
196 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
197 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
199 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
200 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
201 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
203 * Roles and role application
204 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
205 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
206 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
207 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
208 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
210 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
211 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
214 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
215 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
216 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
217 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
218 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
221 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
222 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
223 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
224 changes in the Moose internals.
226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
228 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
232 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
233 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
234 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
236 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
237 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
238 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
239 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
242 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
243 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
244 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
245 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
246 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
247 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
248 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
249 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
250 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
251 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
252 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
253 constraint implementations.
255 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
259 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
260 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
261 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
262 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
263 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
264 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
265 - added tests for this (rafl)
268 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
269 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
270 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
271 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
272 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
273 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
274 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
275 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
278 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
279 - added tests for this (thepler)
281 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
282 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
283 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
284 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
289 * Moose::Meta::Method
292 * Moose::Error::Default
293 * Moose::Error::Croak
294 * Moose::Error::Confess
295 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
296 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
297 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
298 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
299 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
300 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
302 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
304 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
305 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
308 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
309 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
310 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
313 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
314 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
315 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
316 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
319 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
320 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
322 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
323 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
324 several major changes in this release of Moose.
325 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
328 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
330 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
331 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
333 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
338 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
339 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
341 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
343 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
344 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
345 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
346 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
347 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
348 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
350 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
351 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
352 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
356 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
359 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
360 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
361 dependency to 0.64_07.
363 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
364 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
365 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
368 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
371 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
372 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
373 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
374 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
375 coincidental exception. (t0m).
376 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
379 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
381 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
383 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
384 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
388 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
389 method when that method was provided by another role being
390 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
391 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
393 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
395 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
396 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
399 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
400 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
401 - added test for this (t0m)
403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
404 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
405 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
407 - added test for this (t0m)
410 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
411 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
412 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
416 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
418 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
420 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
423 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
424 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
425 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
428 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
431 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
432 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
433 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
434 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
438 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
439 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
440 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
443 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
444 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
445 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
446 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
449 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
453 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
454 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
455 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
457 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
459 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
460 created so that the process can be more easily
461 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
463 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
464 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
465 the type constraints (RT #37569)
466 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
469 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
472 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
473 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
475 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
476 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
477 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
479 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
480 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
481 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
483 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
484 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
486 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
487 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
490 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
491 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
495 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
496 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
498 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
499 ... this is not my day today ...
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
502 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
503 clone_and_inherit options still works for
504 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
505 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
508 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
509 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
510 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
511 in this release, except the fact that it includes
512 the changes that I didn't include in the last
515 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
517 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
518 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
519 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
520 this is not ever something you want to do
521 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
522 - added tests for this (stevan)
525 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
527 - added test for this
529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
530 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
531 - added tests for this (wreis)
533 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
534 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
535 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
536 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
538 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
539 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
540 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
543 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
545 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
547 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
550 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
551 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
552 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
553 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
554 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
555 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
556 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
557 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
558 - added tests for this
560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
561 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
562 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
563 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
565 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
567 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
568 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
569 - added tests for this (sartak)
570 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
571 install_delegation method (Stevan)
574 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
576 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
577 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
579 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
580 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
581 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
582 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
584 - Some null_constraint optimizations
586 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
587 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
590 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
591 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
592 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
595 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
596 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
598 - added docs for this (TODO).
599 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
600 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
601 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
602 - fix builder and default both being used
607 Moose::Meta::Attribute
609 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
610 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
611 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
615 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
619 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
620 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
621 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
623 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
624 - move the ClassName type check code to
625 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
627 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
628 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
630 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
631 (early morning release engineering)--
633 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
634 which was causing the indexer to choke
636 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
637 (late night release engineering)--
639 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
640 changes in this release
642 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
643 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
644 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
647 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
648 since it is called so often by &meta
652 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
653 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
657 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
658 method for immutablization to check if the
659 destructor object even needs to be created
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
663 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
664 - added more descriptive error message to help
665 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
666 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
668 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
670 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
671 XS based functionality is now optional
672 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
673 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
674 can now be used to force non-XS versions
676 - several of the packages have been tweaked
677 to take care of this, mostly we added
678 support for the package_name and name
679 variables in all the Method metaclasses
680 - before/around/after method modifiers now
681 support regexp matching of names
682 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
683 - tests added for this
684 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
685 is currently not supported in roles,
686 but, ... patches welcome
687 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
688 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
689 the stack trace is usually not helpful
692 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
693 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
694 the stack trace is usually not helpful
695 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
696 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
697 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
698 - added test for this
700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

895 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
897 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
898 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
940 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
941 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
942 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1235 when they encounter overriden or modified
1236 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1237 - added tests for this

1245 - added more tests for this
1247 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1250 * Parameterized Types
1251 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1252 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1253 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1254 They can also be nested:
1255 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1256 And work with the type unions as well:
1257 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1259 * Better Framework Extendability
1260 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1261 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1262 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1263 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1266 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1267 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1268 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1269 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1412 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1413 - adjusted tests for this
1415 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1417 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
1418 * Moose::Meta::Class

1420 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
1421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1422 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
1423 the other side (perigrin)
1425 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1427 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1428 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1429 prototypes for functions
1430 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1431 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1432 - added tests and docs for this
1433 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
1434 default for where be { 1 }

1438 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
1439 merlyn for finding this bug
1440 - tests added for this
1441 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1444 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1445 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1446 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1447 - added tests for this
1449 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1451 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1464 where not handled correctly in roles
1465 - added tests for this
1467 * Moose::Meta::Class
1468 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1469 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1470 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1472 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1473 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

1476 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1477 so this release is just to fix that.
1480 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1481 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1482 (thanks to konobi for this)
1483 - added tests and docs
1485 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1493 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1494 functions to facilitate introspection.
1496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1497 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1498 to build the list of delegated methods
1499 correctly (and not override important
1500 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1502 - added tests and docs for this
1503 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1504 so that you can actually document your
1505 attributes and inspect them through the
1507 - added tests and docs for this
1509 * Moose::Meta::Class
1510 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1511 it will first look in for the class in the
1512 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1513 then default to just loading $name.
1514 - added tests and docs for this
1516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1517 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1518 - added test for this
1521 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1522 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1523 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1524 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1526 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1527 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1530 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1532 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1533 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1534 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1537 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1538 !! for this developer release to work !!
1540 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1541 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1542 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1543 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1544 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1545 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1546 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1547 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1548 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1549 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1550 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1552 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1553 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1554 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1555 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1558 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1560 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1561 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1562 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1564 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1566 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1567 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1570 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1571 called unless they actually need to be.
1572 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1573 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1574 DEMOLISH method present.
1576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1578 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1579 type constraint, which allows for a
1580 hand optimized version of the type
1581 constraint to be used when possible.
1582 - Any internally created type constraints
1583 now provide an optimized version as well.
1585 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1587 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1588 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1589 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1592 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1593 your class namespace of these exported
1596 * Moose::Meta::Class
1597 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1598 comes up during global destruction
1600 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1604 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1608 - changed how we do type checks so that
1609 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1612 - moved accessor generation methods to
1613 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1614 conform to the API changes from
1617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1618 - changed how constraints are compiled
1619 so that we do less recursion and more
1620 iteration. This makes the type check
1622 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1625 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1626 - created this from methods formerly found in
1627 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1629 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1630 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1633 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1636 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1638 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1641 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1642 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1643 - added tests for this
1644 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1645 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1646 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1647 - removed tests for this
1649 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1651 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1652 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1653 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1656 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1657 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1658 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1660 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1661 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1662 comments for more info.
1665 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1666 asked questions and common problems
1668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1669 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1670 - added tests for this
1672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1673 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1674 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1675 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1677 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1678 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1681 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1682 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1683 is much appreciated :)
1684 - added tests for this
1686 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1687 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1688 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1691 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1692 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1694 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1696 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1697 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1701 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1702 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1703 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1705 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1707 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1710 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1711 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1712 keywords because we need to localize them.
1713 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1715 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1716 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1717 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1720 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1723 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1724 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1725 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1728 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1729 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1730 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1732 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1734 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1735 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1736 bottom of your class file.
1739 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1742 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1744 - improved error message when loading modules so
1745 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1746 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1747 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1750 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1751 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1752 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1754 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1755 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1757 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1758 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1759 turn them on for you.
1760 - added tests for this

1789 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1790 - This release works in combination with
1791 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1792 release because it uses the a new
1793 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1794 complete Role implementation. It has
1795 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1796 the the previous CPAN version. This
1797 release also lacks good updated docs,
1798 the official release will have updated docs.
1801 - refactored the keyword exports
1802 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1803 accepts more than one Role at a time

1814 string enumerations which can be used as
1816 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1819 - more careful checking of params to new()
1822 - much work done on the role composition
1823 - many new tests for conflict detection
1824 and composition edge cases
1825 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1826 looking at the tests
1828 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1829 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1830 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

1851 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1852 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1853 on a per-attribute basis
1854 - added tests for this
1855 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1856 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
