1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
3 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
4 (late night release engineering)--
6 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
7 changes in this release
10 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
11 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
14 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
15 since it is called so often by &meta
19 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
20 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
23 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
24 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
25 method for immutablization to check if the
26 destructor object even needs to be created
29 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
30 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
31 - added more descriptive error message to help
32 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
33 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
35 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
37 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.56, all
38 XS based functionality is now optional
39 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
40 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
41 can now be used to force non-XS versions
43 - several of the packages have been tweaked
44 to take care of this, mostly we added
45 support for the package_name and name
46 variables in all the Method metaclasses
47 - before/around/after method modifiers now
48 support regexp matching of names
49 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
50 - tests added for this
51 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
52 is currently not supported in roles,
53 but, ... patches welcome
54 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
55 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
56 the stack trace is usually not helpful
59 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
60 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
61 the stack trace is usually not helpful
62 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
63 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
64 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
67 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
68 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
69 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
73 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
77 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
79 - added tests for this
80 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
81 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
83 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
84 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
85 themselves parameterizable types
87 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
88 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
89 called by the inlined immutable
91 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
93 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
94 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
95 (if possible) to create the anon-class
96 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
98 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
99 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
103 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
104 causing occasional cpantester failures
105 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
106 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
108 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
110 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
111 show where the error is (thanks mst)
114 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
115 ->body when looping through the
116 methods, to avoid the overloaded
118 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
119 eating the $@ values, and so not
120 working correctly, it still kind of
121 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
122 - added tests for this
124 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
125 - added new recipe for immutable
126 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
128 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
129 - added new recipe for builder and
130 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

134 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
137 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
139 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
140 since Module::Install has done that.
142 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
144 drink more coffee before
145 doing release engineering
147 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
148 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
149 modules. This fixes that.
151 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
152 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
153 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
155 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
156 since we have tests which need the C3

259 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
260 - I hate Pod::Coverage
262 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
264 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
265 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
266 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

295 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
296 - added tests for this
297 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
298 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else

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

533 - added docs for this
535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
536 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

598 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
601 - fixed how required methods are handled
602 when they encounter overriden or modified
603 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
604 - added tests for this
606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
607 - fixed the type notation parser so that
608 the | always creates a union and so is
609 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
610 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
612 - added more tests for this
614 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
617 * Parameterized Types
618 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
619 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
620 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
621 They can also be nested:
622 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
623 And work with the type unions as well:
624 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
626 * Better Framework Extendability
627 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
628 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
629 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
630 section of the Moose.pm docs.
633 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
634 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
635 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
636 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
769 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
770 to the 'handles' option.
771 - added tests and docs for this

773 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
774 (but not changing the handles option)
775 - added tests and docs for this
778 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
779 so that required methods can come from superclasses
780 - adjusted tests for this
782 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
784 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
786 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
787 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
789 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
790 the other side (perigrin)
792 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
794 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
795 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
796 prototypes for functions
797 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
798 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
799 - added tests and docs for this
800 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
801 default for where be { 1 }

806 merlyn for finding this bug
807 - tests added for this
808 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
811 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
812 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
813 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
814 - added tests for this
816 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
818 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

836 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
837 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
839 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
840 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
842 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
843 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
844 so this release is just to fix that.
847 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
848 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
849 (thanks to konobi for this)
850 - added tests and docs
852 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
853 ~~ More documentation updates ~~

860 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
861 functions to facilitate introspection.
863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

865 to build the list of delegated methods
866 correctly (and not override important
867 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
869 - added tests and docs for this
870 - added the 'documentation' attributes
871 so that you can actually document your
872 attributes and inspect them through the
874 - added tests and docs for this
877 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
878 it will first look in for the class in the
879 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
880 then default to just loading $name.
881 - added tests and docs for this
883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
884 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
885 - added test for this
888 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
889 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
890 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
891 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
893 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
894 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
897 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
899 - added tests to show types and subtypes
900 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
901 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
904 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
905 !! for this developer release to work !!
907 This release was primarily adding the immutable
908 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
909 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
910 as immutable it will perform various bits of
911 memoization and inline certain part of the code
912 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
913 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
914 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
915 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
916 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
917 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
919 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
920 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
921 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
922 truely interested in what was changed, please do
925 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
927 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
928 are have a type constraint and lazy.
929 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
931 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
933 There are some speed improvements in this release,
934 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
937 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
938 called unless they actually need to be.
939 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
940 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
941 DEMOLISH method present.
943 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
945 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
946 type constraint, which allows for a
947 hand optimized version of the type
948 constraint to be used when possible.
949 - Any internally created type constraints
950 now provide an optimized version as well.
952 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
954 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
955 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
956 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
958 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
959 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
960 your class namespace of these exported
964 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
965 comes up during global destruction
967 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
971 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
975 - changed how we do type checks so that
976 we reduce the overall cost, but still
979 - moved accessor generation methods to
980 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
981 conform to the API changes from
984 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
985 - changed how constraints are compiled
986 so that we do less recursion and more
987 iteration. This makes the type check
989 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
993 - created this from methods formerly found in
994 Moose::Meta::Attribute
996 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
997 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
999 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1000 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1002 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1003 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1005 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1008 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1009 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1010 - added tests for this
1011 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1012 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1013 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1014 - removed tests for this
1016 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1018 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1019 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1020 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1023 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1024 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1025 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1027 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1028 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1029 comments for more info.
1032 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1033 asked questions and common problems
1035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1036 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1037 - added tests for this
1039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1040 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1041 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1042 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1044 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1045 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1048 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1049 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1050 is much appreciated :)
1051 - added tests for this
1053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1054 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1055 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1059 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1061 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1063 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1064 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1068 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1069 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1070 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1072 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1074 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1077 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1078 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1079 keywords because we need to localize them.
1080 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1082 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1083 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1084 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1087 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1090 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1091 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1092 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1095 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1096 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1097 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1099 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1101 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1102 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1103 bottom of your class file.
1106 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1109 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1111 - improved error message when loading modules so
1112 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1113 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1114 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1117 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1118 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1119 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

1122 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1124 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer

1156 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1157 - This release works in combination with
1158 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1159 release because it uses the a new
1160 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1161 complete Role implementation. It has
1162 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1163 the the previous CPAN version. This
1164 release also lacks good updated docs,
1165 the official release will have updated docs.
1168 - refactored the keyword exports
1169 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1170 accepts more than one Role at a time

1176 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1177 accepts more than one Role at a time
1179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1181 string enumerations which can be used as
1183 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1186 - more careful checking of params to new()
1189 - much work done on the role composition
1190 - many new tests for conflict detection
1191 and composition edge cases
1192 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1193 looking at the tests
1195 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1196 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1197 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1199 * Moose::Meta::Class
1200 - some small changes to support the new
1202 - some small additions to support Roles
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1205 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1207 - some small changes to support the new
1209 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1210 with the 'handles' option
1211 - added several tests for this
1212 - no docs for this yet

1218 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1219 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1220 on a per-attribute basis
1221 - added tests for this
1222 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1223 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1224 experimental feature and probably not finished

1226 more details, or ask about it on #moose
1227 - added tests for this
