1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
5 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
6 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
7 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
8 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
10 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
11 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
13 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
14 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
15 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
16 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
18 * added maybe_type to exports of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints (rjbs)
20 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints mentioned in the See Also section
21 of main Moose documentation.
23 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
24 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
25 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
27 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
28 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
29 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
30 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
33 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
36 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
37 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
39 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
41 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
44 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
45 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
46 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
47 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
48 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
49 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
51 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
52 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
53 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
54 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
55 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
56 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
58 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
59 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
60 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
62 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
64 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
65 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
67 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
68 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
69 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
70 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
72 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
73 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
74 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
75 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
76 same methods for a single role did not work
77 right (worked just fine with multiple
79 - added test for this (stevan)
81 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
82 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
83 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
86 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
87 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
88 - added test for this (t0m)
91 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
92 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
93 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
95 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
96 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
97 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
98 - added test for this (t0m)
100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
101 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
102 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
103 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
104 - added test for this (perigrin)
107 - create method for constructing a role
109 - added test for this (Sartak)
110 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
111 - added test for this (Sartak)
114 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
116 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
117 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
118 methods is useful (Sartak)
120 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
122 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
126 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
127 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
128 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
129 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
130 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
131 - added tests for this (jdv79)
134 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
135 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
137 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
138 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
139 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
140 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
141 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
143 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
145 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
146 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
147 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
150 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
151 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
152 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
153 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
154 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
155 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
159 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
160 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
161 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
162 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
163 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
164 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
165 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
166 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
167 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
168 future. (jnapiorkowski)
170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
171 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
175 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
176 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
177 type. (jnapiorkowski)
178 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
180 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
182 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
183 predicate, and link to more details sections in
184 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
187 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
190 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
191 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
192 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
195 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
196 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
198 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
200 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
201 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
204 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
205 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
210 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
211 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
214 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
217 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
218 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
219 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
220 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
221 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
222 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
223 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
225 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
226 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
227 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
229 * Roles and role application
230 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
231 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
232 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
233 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
234 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
236 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
237 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
240 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
241 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
242 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
243 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
244 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
247 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
248 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
249 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
250 changes in the Moose internals.
252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
253 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
254 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
258 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
259 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
260 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
263 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
264 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
265 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
268 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
269 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
270 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
271 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
272 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
273 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
274 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
275 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
276 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
277 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
278 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
279 constraint implementations.
281 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
285 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
286 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
287 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
288 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
289 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
290 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
291 - added tests for this (rafl)
294 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
295 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
296 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
297 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
298 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
299 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
300 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
301 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
304 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
305 - added tests for this (thepler)
307 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
308 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
309 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
310 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
315 * Moose::Meta::Method
318 * Moose::Error::Default
319 * Moose::Error::Croak
320 * Moose::Error::Confess
321 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
322 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
323 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
324 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
325 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
326 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
328 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
330 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
331 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
334 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
335 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
336 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
339 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
340 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
341 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
342 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
345 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
346 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
348 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
349 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
350 several major changes in this release of Moose.
351 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
354 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
356 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
357 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
359 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
364 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
365 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
367 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
369 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
370 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
371 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
372 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
373 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
374 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
377 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
378 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
380 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
381 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
382 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
385 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
386 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
387 dependency to 0.64_07.
389 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
390 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
391 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
393 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
394 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
398 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
399 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
400 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
401 coincidental exception. (t0m).
402 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
405 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
407 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
409 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
410 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
414 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
415 method when that method was provided by another role being
416 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
417 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
419 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
421 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
422 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
425 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
426 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
427 - added test for this (t0m)
429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
430 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
431 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
433 - added test for this (t0m)
436 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
437 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
438 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
441 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
442 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
444 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
446 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
449 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
450 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
451 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
454 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
457 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
458 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
459 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
460 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
464 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
465 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
466 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
469 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
470 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
471 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
472 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
475 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
479 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
480 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
481 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
483 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
485 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
486 created so that the process can be more easily
487 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
490 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
491 the type constraints (RT #37569)
492 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
495 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
498 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
499 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
501 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
502 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
503 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
505 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
506 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
507 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
510 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
512 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
513 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
516 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
517 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
521 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
522 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
524 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
525 ... this is not my day today ...
527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
528 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
529 clone_and_inherit options still works for
530 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
531 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
534 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
535 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
536 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
537 in this release, except the fact that it includes
538 the changes that I didn't include in the last
541 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
543 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
544 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
545 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
546 this is not ever something you want to do
547 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
548 - added tests for this (stevan)
551 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
553 - added test for this
555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
556 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
557 - added tests for this (wreis)
559 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
560 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
561 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
562 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
564 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
565 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
566 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
569 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
571 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
573 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
576 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
577 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
578 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
579 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
580 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
581 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
582 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
583 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
584 - added tests for this
586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
587 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
588 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
589 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
591 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
594 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
595 - added tests for this (sartak)
596 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
597 install_delegation method (Stevan)
600 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
602 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
603 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
607 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
608 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
610 - Some null_constraint optimizations
612 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
613 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
616 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
617 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
618 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
621 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
622 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
624 - added docs for this (TODO).
625 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
626 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
627 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
628 - fix builder and default both being used
633 Moose::Meta::Attribute
635 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
636 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
637 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
641 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
645 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
646 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
647 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
650 - move the ClassName type check code to
651 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
653 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
654 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
656 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
657 (early morning release engineering)--
659 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
660 which was causing the indexer to choke
662 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
663 (late night release engineering)--
665 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
666 changes in this release
668 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
669 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
670 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
673 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
674 since it is called so often by &meta
678 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
679 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
683 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
684 method for immutablization to check if the
685 destructor object even needs to be created
688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
689 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
690 - added more descriptive error message to help
691 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
692 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
694 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
696 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
697 XS based functionality is now optional
698 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
699 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
700 can now be used to force non-XS versions

714 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
715 the stack trace is usually not helpful
718 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
719 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
720 the stack trace is usually not helpful

921 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
923 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

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

1261 when they encounter overriden or modified
1262 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1263 - added tests for this
1265 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1266 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1267 the | always creates a union and so is
1268 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1269 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1271 - added more tests for this
1273 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1276 * Parameterized Types
1277 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1278 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1279 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1280 They can also be nested:
1281 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1282 And work with the type unions as well:
1283 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1285 * Better Framework Extendability
1286 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1287 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1288 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1289 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1292 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1293 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1294 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1295 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1424 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1425 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1428 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1429 to the 'handles' option.
1430 - added tests and docs for this
1431 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
1432 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
1433 (but not changing the handles option)
1434 - added tests and docs for this
1437 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1438 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1439 - adjusted tests for this
1441 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1443 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1446 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
1447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1448 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
1449 the other side (perigrin)
1451 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1452 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1453 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1454 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1455 prototypes for functions
1456 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1457 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1458 - added tests and docs for this
1459 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
1460 default for where be { 1 }

1465 merlyn for finding this bug
1466 - tests added for this
1467 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1470 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1471 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1472 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1473 - added tests for this
1475 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1477 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1498 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1499 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1501 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1502 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1503 so this release is just to fix that.
1506 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1507 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1508 (thanks to konobi for this)
1509 - added tests and docs

1520 functions to facilitate introspection.
1522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1523 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1524 to build the list of delegated methods
1525 correctly (and not override important
1526 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1528 - added tests and docs for this
1529 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1530 so that you can actually document your
1531 attributes and inspect them through the
1533 - added tests and docs for this
1535 * Moose::Meta::Class
1536 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1537 it will first look in for the class in the
1538 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1539 then default to just loading $name.
1540 - added tests and docs for this
1542 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1543 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1544 - added test for this
1547 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1548 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1549 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1550 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1552 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1553 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1556 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1558 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1559 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1560 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1563 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1564 !! for this developer release to work !!
1566 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1567 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1568 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1569 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1570 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1571 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1572 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1573 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1574 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1575 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1576 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1578 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1579 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1580 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1581 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1584 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1586 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1587 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1588 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1590 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1592 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1593 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1596 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1597 called unless they actually need to be.
1598 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1599 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1600 DEMOLISH method present.
1602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1604 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1605 type constraint, which allows for a
1606 hand optimized version of the type
1607 constraint to be used when possible.
1608 - Any internally created type constraints
1609 now provide an optimized version as well.
1611 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1613 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1614 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1615 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1619 your class namespace of these exported
1622 * Moose::Meta::Class
1623 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1624 comes up during global destruction
1626 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1630 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1634 - changed how we do type checks so that
1635 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1638 - moved accessor generation methods to
1639 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1640 conform to the API changes from
1643 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1644 - changed how constraints are compiled
1645 so that we do less recursion and more
1646 iteration. This makes the type check
1648 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1652 - created this from methods formerly found in
1653 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1655 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1656 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1658 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1659 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1662 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1664 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1667 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1668 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1669 - added tests for this
1670 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1671 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1672 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1673 - removed tests for this
1675 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1677 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1678 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1679 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1682 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1683 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1684 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1686 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1687 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1688 comments for more info.
1691 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1692 asked questions and common problems
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1695 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1696 - added tests for this
1698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1699 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1700 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1701 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1703 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1704 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1707 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1708 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1709 is much appreciated :)
1710 - added tests for this
1712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1713 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1714 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1718 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1720 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1722 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1723 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1727 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1728 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1729 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1731 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1733 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1736 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1737 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1738 keywords because we need to localize them.
1739 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1741 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1742 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1743 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1746 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1750 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1751 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1754 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1755 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1756 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1758 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1760 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1761 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1762 bottom of your class file.
1765 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1768 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1770 - improved error message when loading modules so
1771 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1772 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1773 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1776 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1777 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1778 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1780 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1781 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1783 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1784 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1785 turn them on for you.
1786 - added tests for this

1815 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1816 - This release works in combination with
1817 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1818 release because it uses the a new
1819 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1820 complete Role implementation. It has
1821 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1822 the the previous CPAN version. This
1823 release also lacks good updated docs,
1824 the official release will have updated docs.
1827 - refactored the keyword exports
1828 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1829 accepts more than one Role at a time

1840 string enumerations which can be used as
1842 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1845 - more careful checking of params to new()
1848 - much work done on the role composition
1849 - many new tests for conflict detection
1850 and composition edge cases
1851 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1852 looking at the tests
1854 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1855 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1856 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

1875 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1876 thanks to chansen for this commit
1877 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1878 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1879 on a per-attribute basis
1880 - added tests for this
1881 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1882 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1883 experimental feature and probably not finished
