1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
5 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
6 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
9 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
10 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
11 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
14 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
15 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
16 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
17 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
20 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
21 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
23 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
24 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
25 several major changes in this release of Moose.
26 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
29 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
31 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
32 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
34 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
39 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
40 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

45 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
46 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

48 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
49 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
52 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
53 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
55 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

57 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
60 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
61 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
62 dependency to 0.64_07.

65 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
66 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
68 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
69 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
72 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
73 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
74 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
75 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
76 coincidental exception. (t0m).
77 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
79 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
80 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
82 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
84 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
85 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
89 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
90 method when that method was provided by another role being
91 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
92 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
94 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

101 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
102 - added test for this (t0m)
104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

106 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
108 - added test for this (t0m)
111 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
112 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
113 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
116 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
117 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
119 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
121 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
124 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
125 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
126 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
128 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
129 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
132 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
133 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
134 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
135 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
139 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
140 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
141 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
144 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
145 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
146 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
147 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
150 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
154 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
155 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
156 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

176 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
177 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
178 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
180 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

196 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
197 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
199 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
200 ... this is not my day today ...
202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
203 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
204 clone_and_inherit options still works for
205 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
206 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
209 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
210 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
211 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

213 the changes that I didn't include in the last
216 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
218 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
219 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
220 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
221 this is not ever something you want to do
222 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

251 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
252 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
253 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
254 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
255 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
256 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
257 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
258 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
259 - added tests for this
261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
262 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

340 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
341 changes in this release
343 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
344 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
345 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

445 show where the error is (thanks mst)
448 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
449 ->body when looping through the
450 methods, to avoid the overloaded

755 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
756 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
758 - new Composite role metaclass
759 - runtime application of roles to instances
760 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
761 classes when applicable
763 * <<New Role composition features>>
764 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
766 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
767 still retain the original as well)
769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints
770 - added this module (see above)
773 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
774 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
776 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
777 - fixed bug when passing a list of values to
778 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
779 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)
780 - added tests for this (Sartak again)
782 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
783 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
784 Moose::Meta::Attribute
785 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

791 (thanks to nothingmuch)
793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
794 - added this module to support the refactor
795 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
798 - refactored how these types are handled so they
799 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
803 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
805 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
806 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
807 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

827 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
828 types without having to explictly define them
829 - added tests for this
831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
832 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
833 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
835 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
837 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
838 they should inherit the parent's coercion

846 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
847 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
850 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
851 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
852 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
853 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

855 more type coercions for Union types)
857 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
859 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
860 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
861 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
862 - added tests for this.
863 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
864 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
865 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
866 - added tests for this
867 - added docs for this
869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
870 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
871 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer

889 - added tests for this
892 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
893 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
896 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

936 when they encounter overriden or modified
937 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
938 - added tests for this
940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
941 - fixed the type notation parser so that
942 the | always creates a union and so is
943 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
944 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
946 - added more tests for this
948 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
951 * Parameterized Types
952 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
953 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
954 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
955 They can also be nested:
956 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
957 And work with the type unions as well:
958 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
960 * Better Framework Extendability
961 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
962 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
963 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
964 section of the Moose.pm docs.
967 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
968 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
969 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
970 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
973 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
975 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
976 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
979 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
980 set it to inline the accessors

1025 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1027 - added tests for this
1029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1030 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
1031 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
1032 can track where the type constraints are created
1034 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1035 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1036 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1038 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1039 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

1055 (thanks to shlomif).
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1059 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

1108 (but not changing the handles option)
1109 - added tests and docs for this
1112 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1113 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1114 - adjusted tests for this
1116 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1118 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1124 the other side (perigrin)
1126 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1128 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1129 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1130 prototypes for functions
1131 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1132 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1142 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1145 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1146 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1147 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1148 - added tests for this
1150 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1152 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1173 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1174 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1176 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1177 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1178 so this release is just to fix that.
1181 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1182 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1183 (thanks to konobi for this)
1184 - added tests and docs
1186 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1187 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1191 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1192 - added tests for this
1193 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1194 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1195 functions to facilitate introspection.
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1198 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1199 to build the list of delegated methods
1200 correctly (and not override important
1201 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1203 - added tests and docs for this
1204 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1205 so that you can actually document your
1206 attributes and inspect them through the
1208 - added tests and docs for this
1210 * Moose::Meta::Class
1211 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1212 it will first look in for the class in the
1213 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1214 then default to just loading $name.
1215 - added tests and docs for this
1217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1218 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1219 - added test for this
1222 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1223 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1224 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1225 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1227 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1228 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1231 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1233 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1234 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1235 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1238 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1239 !! for this developer release to work !!
1241 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1242 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1243 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1244 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1245 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1246 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1247 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1248 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1249 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1250 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1251 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1253 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1254 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1255 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1256 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1259 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1260 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1261 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1262 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1263 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1265 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1267 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1268 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1271 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1272 called unless they actually need to be.
1273 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1274 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1275 DEMOLISH method present.
1277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1279 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1280 type constraint, which allows for a
1281 hand optimized version of the type
1282 constraint to be used when possible.
1283 - Any internally created type constraints
1284 now provide an optimized version as well.
1286 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1288 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1289 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1290 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1293 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1294 your class namespace of these exported
1297 * Moose::Meta::Class
1298 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1299 comes up during global destruction
1301 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1305 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1308 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1309 - changed how we do type checks so that
1310 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1313 - moved accessor generation methods to
1314 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1315 conform to the API changes from
1318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1319 - changed how constraints are compiled
1320 so that we do less recursion and more
1321 iteration. This makes the type check
1323 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1327 - created this from methods formerly found in
1328 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1331 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1334 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1337 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1339 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1342 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1343 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1344 - added tests for this
1345 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1346 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1347 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1348 - removed tests for this
1350 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1352 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1353 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1354 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1357 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1358 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1359 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1361 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1362 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1363 comments for more info.
1366 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1367 asked questions and common problems
1369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1370 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1371 - added tests for this
1373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1374 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1375 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1376 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1378 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1379 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1382 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1383 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1384 is much appreciated :)
1385 - added tests for this
1387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1388 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1389 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1393 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1395 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1397 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1398 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1402 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1403 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1404 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1406 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1408 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1411 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1412 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1413 keywords because we need to localize them.
1414 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1416 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1417 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1418 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1421 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1425 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1426 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1429 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1430 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1431 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1433 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1435 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1436 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1437 bottom of your class file.
1440 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1443 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1445 - improved error message when loading modules so
1446 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1447 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1448 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1451 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1452 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1453 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1455 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1456 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1458 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1459 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1460 turn them on for you.
1461 - added tests for this

1490 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1491 - This release works in combination with
1492 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1493 release because it uses the a new
1494 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1495 complete Role implementation. It has
1496 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1497 the the previous CPAN version. This
1498 release also lacks good updated docs,
1499 the official release will have updated docs.
1502 - refactored the keyword exports
1503 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1504 accepts more than one Role at a time
1505 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1506 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1509 - refactored the keyword exports
1510 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1511 accepts more than one Role at a time
1513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1514 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1515 string enumerations which can be used as
1517 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1520 - more careful checking of params to new()
1523 - much work done on the role composition
1524 - many new tests for conflict detection
1525 and composition edge cases
1526 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1527 looking at the tests
1529 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1530 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1531 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1533 * Moose::Meta::Class
1534 - some small changes to support the new
1536 - some small additions to support Roles
1538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1539 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1541 - some small changes to support the new
1543 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1544 with the 'handles' option
1545 - added several tests for this
1546 - no docs for this yet

1550 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1551 thanks to chansen for this commit
1552 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1553 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1554 on a per-attribute basis
1555 - added tests for this
1556 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1557 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1558 experimental feature and probably not finished
