1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
6 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
7 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
9 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
10 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
13 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
14 monkeypatching of classes in one liners
17 - fixing the 'apply_all_roles' keyword so that it will not
18 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
21 - added ->create method which now supports roles (thanks to jrockway)
22 - added tests for this
24 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
25 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
26 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else
28 - added tests for this
31 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
32 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
34 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
35 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
36 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
37 it ever did this originally, this means we now
38 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
40 - added more delegation tests
43 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
44 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)
46 0.38 Fri. Feb. 15, 2008

183 - added this module to support the refactor
184 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

240 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
241 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
242 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

244 more type coercions for Union types)
246 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
248 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
249 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
250 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
251 - added tests for this.
252 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
253 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
254 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
255 - added tests for this
256 - added docs for this
258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
259 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
260 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
261 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
262 instead it will just return undef.
263 - added docs for this

278 - added tests for this
281 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
282 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
285 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

325 when they encounter overriden or modified
326 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
327 - added tests for this
329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
330 - fixed the type notation parser so that
331 the | always creates a union and so is
332 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
333 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
335 - added more tests for this
337 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
340 * Parameterized Types
341 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
342 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
343 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
344 They can also be nested:
345 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
346 And work with the type unions as well:
347 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
349 * Better Framework Extendability
350 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
351 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
352 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
353 section of the Moose.pm docs.
356 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
357 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
358 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
359 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

396 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
398 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
399 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
400 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
401 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
403 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
404 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
405 - updated the accompanying test as well

425 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
427 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
428 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

515 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
517 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
518 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
519 prototypes for functions
520 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
521 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
522 - added tests and docs for this

593 - added the 'documentation' attributes
594 so that you can actually document your
595 attributes and inspect them through the
597 - added tests and docs for this
600 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
601 it will first look in for the class in the
602 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
603 then default to just loading $name.
604 - added tests and docs for this
606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
607 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
608 - added test for this
611 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
612 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
613 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.

616 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
617 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
620 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
622 - added tests to show types and subtypes
623 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
624 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
627 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
628 !! for this developer release to work !!
630 This release was primarily adding the immutable
631 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
632 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
633 as immutable it will perform various bits of
634 memoization and inline certain part of the code
635 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
636 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
637 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
638 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
639 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
640 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
642 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
643 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
644 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
645 truely interested in what was changed, please do
648 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
650 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
651 are have a type constraint and lazy.
652 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
654 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
656 There are some speed improvements in this release,
657 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
660 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
661 called unless they actually need to be.
662 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
663 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
664 DEMOLISH method present.
666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
667 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
668 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
669 type constraint, which allows for a
670 hand optimized version of the type
671 constraint to be used when possible.
672 - Any internally created type constraints
673 now provide an optimized version as well.
675 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
677 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
678 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
679 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
681 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
682 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
683 your class namespace of these exported
687 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
688 comes up during global destruction
690 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
694 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
698 - changed how we do type checks so that
699 we reduce the overall cost, but still
702 - moved accessor generation methods to
703 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
704 conform to the API changes from
707 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
708 - changed how constraints are compiled
709 so that we do less recursion and more
710 iteration. This makes the type check
712 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
716 - created this from methods formerly found in
717 Moose::Meta::Attribute
719 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
720 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
723 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
725 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
726 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
728 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
731 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
732 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
733 - added tests for this
734 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
735 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
736 broke predicates in an ugly way.
737 - removed tests for this
739 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
741 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
742 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
743 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
746 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
747 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
748 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
750 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
751 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
752 comments for more info.
755 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
756 asked questions and common problems
758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
759 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
760 - added tests for this
762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
763 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
764 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
765 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
767 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
768 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
771 - added basic support for runtime role composition
772 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
773 is much appreciated :)
774 - added tests for this
776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
777 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
778 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
781 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
782 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
784 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
786 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
787 - properly capturing error when type constraint
791 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
792 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
793 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
795 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
797 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
800 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
801 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
802 keywords because we need to localize them.
803 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
805 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
806 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
807 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
810 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
814 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
815 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
818 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
819 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
820 - fixed tests to reflect this change
822 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
824 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
825 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
826 bottom of your class file.
829 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
832 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
834 - improved error message when loading modules so
835 it is less confusing when you load a role.
836 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
837 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
840 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
841 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
842 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

845 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
847 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
848 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
849 turn them on for you.
850 - added tests for this
851 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
852 in Moose::Meta::Class
855 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
856 automatically turned on for you.

878 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
879 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
880 - This release works in combination with
881 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
882 release because it uses the a new
883 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
884 complete Role implementation. It has
885 not yet been optimized, so it slower
886 the the previous CPAN version. This
887 release also lacks good updated docs,
888 the official release will have updated docs.
891 - refactored the keyword exports
892 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
893 accepts more than one Role at a time
894 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
895 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
898 - refactored the keyword exports
899 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
900 accepts more than one Role at a time
902 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
903 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
904 string enumerations which can be used as
906 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
909 - more careful checking of params to new()
912 - much work done on the role composition
913 - many new tests for conflict detection
914 and composition edge cases
915 - not enough documentation, I suggest
918 * Moose::Meta::Instance
919 - added new Instance metaclass to support
920 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
923 - some small changes to support the new
925 - some small additions to support Roles
927 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
928 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
930 - some small changes to support the new
932 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
933 with the 'handles' option
934 - added several tests for this
935 - no docs for this yet
937 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
939 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
940 thanks to chansen for this commit
941 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
942 to support custom attribute meta-classes
943 on a per-attribute basis
944 - added tests for this
945 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
946 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
947 experimental feature and probably not finished
