1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
5 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
7 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
8 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
9 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
10 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
13 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
16 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
17 - predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
18 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
19 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and coincidental
20 exception. The behavior is now in line with to
21 $ob->isa('DoesNotExist') (t0m).
22 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
24 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
25 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
27 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
29 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
31 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
32 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
34 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
35 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
36 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
37 - added test for this (t0m)
39 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
40 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
41 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
43 - added test for this (t0m)
46 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
47 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
48 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
52 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
54 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
56 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
59 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
60 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
61 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
63 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
64 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
67 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
68 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
69 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
70 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
74 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
75 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
76 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
79 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
80 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
81 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
82 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
85 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
89 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
90 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
91 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
93 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
94 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
95 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
96 created so that the process can be more easily
97 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
99 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
100 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
101 the type constraints (RT #37569)
102 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
105 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
108 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
109 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
111 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
112 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
113 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
115 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
116 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
117 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
119 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
120 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
122 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
123 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
126 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
127 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
131 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
132 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
134 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
135 ... this is not my day today ...
137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
138 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
139 clone_and_inherit options still works for
140 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
141 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
144 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
145 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
146 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
147 in this release, except the fact that it includes
148 the changes that I didn't include in the last
151 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
153 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
154 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
155 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
156 this is not ever something you want to do
157 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
158 - added tests for this (stevan)
161 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
163 - added test for this

181 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
183 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
186 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
187 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
188 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
189 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
190 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
191 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
192 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
193 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
194 - added tests for this
196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
197 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
198 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
199 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
201 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
204 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

275 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
276 changes in this release

279 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
280 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

323 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
324 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
325 the stack trace is usually not helpful

380 show where the error is (thanks mst)
383 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
384 ->body when looping through the
385 methods, to avoid the overloaded

761 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
762 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
763 types without having to explictly define them
764 - added tests for this
766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
767 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
768 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
770 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
772 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
773 they should inherit the parent's coercion
774 - added tests for this
775 - you can now define multiple coercions on
776 a single type at different times instead of
777 having to do it all in one place
778 - added tests for this
780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
781 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
782 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
785 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
786 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
787 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
788 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
789 new features above (although you cannot add
790 more type coercions for Union types)
792 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
794 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
795 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
796 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
797 - added tests for this.
798 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
799 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
800 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
801 - added tests for this
802 - added docs for this
804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
805 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
806 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
807 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
808 instead it will just return undef.
809 - added docs for this
811 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
813 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

824 - added tests for this
827 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
828 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
831 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
832 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
833 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
835 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

871 when they encounter overriden or modified
872 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
873 - added tests for this
875 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
876 - fixed the type notation parser so that
877 the | always creates a union and so is
878 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
879 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
881 - added more tests for this
883 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
886 * Parameterized Types
887 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
888 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
889 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
890 They can also be nested:
891 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
892 And work with the type unions as well:
893 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
895 * Better Framework Extendability
896 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
897 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
898 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
899 section of the Moose.pm docs.
902 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
903 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
904 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
905 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
908 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
910 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
911 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
914 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

950 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
951 - updated the accompanying test as well
953 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
954 +++ with new features added as well +++
956 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

960 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
962 - added tests for this
964 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
965 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
966 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
967 can track where the type constraints are created
969 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
970 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
971 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
973 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
974 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
975 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself

1032 - added tests for these
1034 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
1035 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
1037 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1038 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1039 to the 'handles' option.
1040 - added tests and docs for this

1043 (but not changing the handles option)
1044 - added tests and docs for this
1047 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1048 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1059 the other side (perigrin)
1061 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1062 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1063 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1064 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1065 prototypes for functions
1066 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1067 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1077 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1080 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1081 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1082 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1083 - added tests for this
1085 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1087 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1106 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1108 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1109 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1111 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1112 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1113 so this release is just to fix that.
1116 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1117 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1118 (thanks to konobi for this)
1119 - added tests and docs
1121 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1122 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1124 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1125 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1126 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1127 - added tests for this
1128 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1129 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1130 functions to facilitate introspection.
1132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1133 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1134 to build the list of delegated methods
1135 correctly (and not override important
1136 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1138 - added tests and docs for this
1139 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1140 so that you can actually document your
1141 attributes and inspect them through the
1143 - added tests and docs for this
1145 * Moose::Meta::Class
1146 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1147 it will first look in for the class in the
1148 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1149 then default to just loading $name.
1150 - added tests and docs for this
1152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1153 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1154 - added test for this
1157 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1158 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1159 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1160 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatability sucks *cough* ;)
1162 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1163 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1166 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1168 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1169 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1170 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1173 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1174 !! for this developer release to work !!
1176 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1177 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1178 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1179 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1180 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1181 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1182 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1183 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1184 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1185 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1186 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1188 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1189 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1190 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1191 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1194 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1195 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1196 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1197 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1198 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1200 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1202 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1203 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1206 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1207 called unless they actually need to be.
1208 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1209 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1210 DEMOLISH method present.
1212 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1214 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1215 type constraint, which allows for a
1216 hand optimized version of the type
1217 constraint to be used when possible.
1218 - Any internally created type constraints
1219 now provide an optimized version as well.
1221 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1223 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1224 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1225 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1228 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1229 your class namespace of these exported
1232 * Moose::Meta::Class
1233 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1234 comes up during global destruction
1236 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1240 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1244 - changed how we do type checks so that
1245 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1248 - moved accessor generation methods to
1249 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1250 conform to the API changes from
1253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1254 - changed how constraints are compiled
1255 so that we do less recursion and more
1256 iteration. This makes the type check
1258 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1262 - created this from methods formerly found in
1263 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1265 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1266 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1269 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1272 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1274 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1277 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1278 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1279 - added tests for this
1280 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1281 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1282 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1283 - removed tests for this
1285 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1287 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1288 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1289 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1292 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1293 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1294 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1296 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1297 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1298 comments for more info.
1301 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1302 asked questions and common problems
1304 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1305 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1306 - added tests for this
1308 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1309 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1310 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1311 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1313 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1314 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1317 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1318 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1319 is much appreciated :)
1320 - added tests for this
1322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1323 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1324 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1327 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1328 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1330 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1332 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1333 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1337 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1338 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1339 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1341 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1343 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1346 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1347 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1348 keywords because we need to localize them.
1349 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1351 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1352 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1353 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1356 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1359 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1360 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1361 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1364 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1365 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1366 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1368 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1370 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1371 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1372 bottom of your class file.
1375 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1378 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1380 - improved error message when loading modules so
1381 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1382 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1383 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1386 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1387 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1388 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1390 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1391 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1393 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1394 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1395 turn them on for you.
1396 - added tests for this
1397 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1398 in Moose::Meta::Class
1401 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1402 automatically turned on for you.
1403 - added tests for this
1406 - now handles an edge case for override errors
1407 - added tests for this
1408 - added some more edge case tests

1420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1421 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
1424 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1425 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1426 - This release works in combination with
1427 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1428 release because it uses the a new
1429 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1430 complete Role implementation. It has
1431 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1432 the the previous CPAN version. This
1433 release also lacks good updated docs,
1434 the official release will have updated docs.
1437 - refactored the keyword exports
1438 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1439 accepts more than one Role at a time
1440 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1441 needed to ensure metaclass compatability
1444 - refactored the keyword exports
1445 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1446 accepts more than one Role at a time
1448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1449 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1450 string enumerations which can be used as
1452 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1455 - more careful checking of params to new()
1458 - much work done on the role composition
1459 - many new tests for conflict detection
1460 and composition edge cases
1461 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1462 looking at the tests
1464 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1465 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1466 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1468 * Moose::Meta::Class
1469 - some small changes to support the new
1471 - some small additions to support Roles
1473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1474 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1476 - some small changes to support the new
1478 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1479 with the 'handles' option

1485 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1486 thanks to chansen for this commit
1487 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1488 to support custom attribute meta-classes
