1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
6 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
7 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
10 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
12 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.56, all
13 XS based functionality is now optional
14 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
15 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
16 can now be used to force non-XS versions
18 - several of the packages have been tweaked
19 to take care of this, mostly we added
20 support for the package_name and name
21 variables in all the Method metaclasses
22 - before/around/after method modifiers now
23 support regexp matching of names
24 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
25 - tests added for this
26 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
27 is currently not supported in roles,
28 but, ... patches welcome
29 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
30 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
31 the stack trace is usually not helpful
34 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
35 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
36 the stack trace is usually not helpful
37 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
38 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
39 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
42 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
43 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
44 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
48 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
52 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
54 - added tests for this
55 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
56 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
58 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
59 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
60 themselves parameterizable types
62 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
63 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
64 called by the inlined immutable
66 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
68 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
69 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
70 (if possible) to create the anon-class
71 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
73 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
74 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
78 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
79 causing occasional cpantester failures
80 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
81 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
83 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
85 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
86 show where the error is (thanks mst)
89 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
90 ->body when looping through the
91 methods, to avoid the overloaded
93 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
94 eating the $@ values, and so not
95 working correctly, it still kind of
96 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
97 - added tests for this
99 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
100 - added new recipe for immutable
101 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
103 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
104 - added new recipe for builder and

109 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
112 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
114 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
115 since Module::Install has done that.

119 drink more coffee before
120 doing release engineering
122 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
123 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
124 modules. This fixes that.
126 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
127 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
128 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

234 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
235 - I hate Pod::Coverage
237 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
239 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
240 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
241 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

279 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
282 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
283 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
284 it ever did this originally, this means we now

577 when they encounter overriden or modified
578 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
579 - added tests for this
581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
582 - fixed the type notation parser so that
583 the | always creates a union and so is
584 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
585 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
587 - added more tests for this
589 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
592 * Parameterized Types
593 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
594 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
595 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
596 They can also be nested:
597 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
598 And work with the type unions as well:
599 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
601 * Better Framework Extendability
602 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
603 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
604 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
605 section of the Moose.pm docs.
608 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
609 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
610 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
611 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

757 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
759 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
761 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
762 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
763 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
764 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
765 the other side (perigrin)
767 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
769 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
770 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
771 prototypes for functions
772 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
773 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
774 - added tests and docs for this
775 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
776 default for where be { 1 }
777 - added test for this
779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
780 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
781 merlyn for finding this bug
782 - tests added for this
783 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
786 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
787 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
788 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
789 - added tests for this
791 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
793 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
794 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
795 - altered unimport tests to handle this

805 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
806 where not handled correctly in roles
807 - added tests for this
810 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
811 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
812 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
814 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
815 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

818 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
819 so this release is just to fix that.
822 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
823 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
824 (thanks to konobi for this)
825 - added tests and docs
827 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
828 ~~ More documentation updates ~~

836 functions to facilitate introspection.
838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

841 correctly (and not override important
842 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
844 - added tests and docs for this
845 - added the 'documentation' attributes
846 so that you can actually document your
847 attributes and inspect them through the
849 - added tests and docs for this
852 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
853 it will first look in for the class in the
854 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
855 then default to just loading $name.
856 - added tests and docs for this
858 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
859 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
860 - added test for this
863 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
864 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
865 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
866 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
868 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
869 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
872 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
874 - added tests to show types and subtypes
875 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
876 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
879 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
880 !! for this developer release to work !!
882 This release was primarily adding the immutable
883 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
884 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
885 as immutable it will perform various bits of
886 memoization and inline certain part of the code
887 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
888 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
889 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
890 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
891 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
892 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
894 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
895 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
896 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
897 truely interested in what was changed, please do
900 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
902 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
903 are have a type constraint and lazy.
904 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
906 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
908 There are some speed improvements in this release,
909 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
912 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
913 called unless they actually need to be.
914 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
915 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
916 DEMOLISH method present.
918 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
919 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
920 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
921 type constraint, which allows for a
922 hand optimized version of the type
923 constraint to be used when possible.
924 - Any internally created type constraints
925 now provide an optimized version as well.
927 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
929 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
930 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
931 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
934 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
935 your class namespace of these exported
939 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
940 comes up during global destruction
942 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
946 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
950 - changed how we do type checks so that
951 we reduce the overall cost, but still
954 - moved accessor generation methods to
955 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
956 conform to the API changes from
959 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
960 - changed how constraints are compiled
961 so that we do less recursion and more
962 iteration. This makes the type check
964 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
968 - created this from methods formerly found in
969 Moose::Meta::Attribute
971 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
972 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
975 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
978 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
980 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
983 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
984 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
985 - added tests for this
986 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
987 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
988 broke predicates in an ugly way.
989 - removed tests for this
991 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
993 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
994 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
995 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
998 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
999 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1000 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1002 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1003 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1004 comments for more info.
1007 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1008 asked questions and common problems
1010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1011 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1012 - added tests for this
1014 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1015 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1016 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1017 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1019 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1020 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1023 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1024 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1025 is much appreciated :)
1026 - added tests for this
1028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1029 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1030 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1034 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1036 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1038 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1039 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1043 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1044 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1045 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1047 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1049 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1052 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1053 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1054 keywords because we need to localize them.
1055 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1057 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1058 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1059 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1062 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1066 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1067 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1070 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1071 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1072 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1074 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1076 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1077 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1078 bottom of your class file.
1081 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1084 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1086 - improved error message when loading modules so
1087 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1088 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1089 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1092 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1093 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1094 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1097 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1099 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer

1101 turn them on for you.
1102 - added tests for this
1103 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1104 in Moose::Meta::Class

1131 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1132 - This release works in combination with
1133 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1134 release because it uses the a new
1135 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1136 complete Role implementation. It has
1137 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1138 the the previous CPAN version. This
1139 release also lacks good updated docs,
1140 the official release will have updated docs.
1143 - refactored the keyword exports
1144 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1145 accepts more than one Role at a time

1156 string enumerations which can be used as
1158 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1161 - more careful checking of params to new()
1164 - much work done on the role composition
1165 - many new tests for conflict detection
1166 and composition edge cases
1167 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1168 looking at the tests
1170 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1171 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1172 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1174 * Moose::Meta::Class

1182 - some small changes to support the new
1184 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1185 with the 'handles' option

1193 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1194 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1195 on a per-attribute basis
1196 - added tests for this
1197 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1198 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
