1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
5 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
7 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
8 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
9 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
11 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
13 - Require Class::MOP 0.74+, which has the side effect of making
14 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
16 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
18 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
21 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
22 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
23 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
24 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
25 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
26 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
28 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
29 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
30 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
31 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
32 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
33 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
35 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
36 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
37 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
39 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
41 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
42 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
44 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
45 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
46 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
47 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
49 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
50 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
51 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
52 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
53 same methods for a single role did not work
54 right (worked just fine with multiple
56 - added test for this (stevan)
58 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
59 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
60 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
63 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
64 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
65 - added test for this (t0m)
68 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
69 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
70 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
72 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
73 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
74 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
75 - added test for this (t0m)
77 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
78 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
79 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
80 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
81 - added test for this (perigrin)
84 - create method for constructing a role
86 - added test for this (Sartak)
87 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
88 - added test for this (Sartak)
91 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
93 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
94 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
95 methods is useful (Sartak)
97 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
98 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
99 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
103 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
104 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
105 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
106 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
107 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
108 - added tests for this (jdv79)
111 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
112 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
114 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
115 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
116 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
117 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
118 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
120 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
122 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
123 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
124 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
127 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
128 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
129 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
130 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
131 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
132 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
136 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
137 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
138 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
139 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
140 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
141 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
142 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
143 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
144 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
145 future. (jnapiorkowski)
147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
148 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
152 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
153 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
154 type. (jnapiorkowski)
155 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
157 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
159 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
160 predicate, and link to more details sections in
161 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
164 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
166 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
167 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
168 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
169 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
172 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
173 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
175 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
177 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
178 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
181 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
182 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
187 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
188 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
190 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
191 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
194 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
195 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
196 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
197 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
198 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
199 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
200 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
202 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
203 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
204 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
206 * Roles and role application
207 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
208 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
209 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
210 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
211 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
213 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
214 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
217 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
218 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
219 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
220 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
221 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
224 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
225 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
226 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
227 changes in the Moose internals.
229 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
231 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
235 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
236 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
237 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
240 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
241 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
242 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
245 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
246 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
247 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
248 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
249 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
250 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
251 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
252 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
253 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
254 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
255 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
256 constraint implementations.
258 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
262 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
263 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
264 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
265 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
266 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
267 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
268 - added tests for this (rafl)
271 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
272 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
273 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
274 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
275 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
276 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
277 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
278 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
281 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
282 - added tests for this (thepler)
284 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
285 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
286 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
287 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
292 * Moose::Meta::Method
295 * Moose::Error::Default
296 * Moose::Error::Croak
297 * Moose::Error::Confess
298 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
299 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
300 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
301 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
302 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
303 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
305 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
307 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
308 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
311 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
312 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
313 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
316 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
317 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
318 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
319 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
322 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
323 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
325 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
326 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
327 several major changes in this release of Moose.
328 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
331 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
333 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
334 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
336 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
341 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
342 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
344 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
346 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
347 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
348 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
349 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
350 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
351 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
354 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
355 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
357 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
358 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
359 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
362 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
363 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
364 dependency to 0.64_07.
366 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
367 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
368 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
371 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
375 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
376 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
377 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
378 coincidental exception. (t0m).
379 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
382 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
384 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
386 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
387 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
391 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
392 method when that method was provided by another role being
393 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
394 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
396 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
398 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
399 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
402 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
403 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
404 - added test for this (t0m)
406 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
407 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
408 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
410 - added test for this (t0m)
413 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
414 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
415 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
418 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
419 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
421 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
423 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
426 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
427 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
428 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
430 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
431 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
434 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
435 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
436 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
437 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
441 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
442 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
443 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
446 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
447 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
448 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
449 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
452 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
456 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
457 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
458 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
460 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
462 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
463 created so that the process can be more easily
464 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
466 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
467 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
468 the type constraints (RT #37569)
469 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
472 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
475 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
476 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
478 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
479 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
480 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
482 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
483 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
484 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
486 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
487 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
489 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
490 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
493 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
494 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
498 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
499 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
501 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
502 ... this is not my day today ...
504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
505 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
506 clone_and_inherit options still works for
507 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
508 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
511 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
512 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
513 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
514 in this release, except the fact that it includes
515 the changes that I didn't include in the last
518 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
520 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
521 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
522 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
523 this is not ever something you want to do
524 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
525 - added tests for this (stevan)
528 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
530 - added test for this
532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
533 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
534 - added tests for this (wreis)
536 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
537 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
538 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
539 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
541 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
542 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
543 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
546 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
548 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
550 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
553 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
554 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
555 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
556 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
557 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
558 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
559 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
560 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
561 - added tests for this
563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
564 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
565 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
566 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
568 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
571 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
572 - added tests for this (sartak)
573 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
574 install_delegation method (Stevan)
577 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
579 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
580 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
584 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
585 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
587 - Some null_constraint optimizations
589 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
590 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
593 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
594 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
595 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
598 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
599 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
601 - added docs for this (TODO).
602 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
603 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
604 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
605 - fix builder and default both being used
610 Moose::Meta::Attribute
612 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
613 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
614 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
618 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
622 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
623 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
624 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
627 - move the ClassName type check code to
628 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
630 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
631 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
633 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
634 (early morning release engineering)--
636 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
637 which was causing the indexer to choke
639 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
640 (late night release engineering)--
642 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
643 changes in this release
645 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
646 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
647 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
650 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
651 since it is called so often by &meta
655 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
656 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
660 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
661 method for immutablization to check if the
662 destructor object even needs to be created
665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
666 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
667 - added more descriptive error message to help
668 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
669 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
671 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
673 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
674 XS based functionality is now optional
675 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
676 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
677 can now be used to force non-XS versions
679 - several of the packages have been tweaked
680 to take care of this, mostly we added
681 support for the package_name and name
682 variables in all the Method metaclasses
683 - before/around/after method modifiers now
684 support regexp matching of names
685 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
686 - tests added for this
687 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
688 is currently not supported in roles,
689 but, ... patches welcome
690 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
691 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
692 the stack trace is usually not helpful
695 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
696 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
697 the stack trace is usually not helpful
698 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
699 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
700 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))

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

1238 when they encounter overriden or modified
1239 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1240 - added tests for this

1250 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1253 * Parameterized Types
1254 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1255 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1256 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1257 They can also be nested:
1258 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1259 And work with the type unions as well:
1260 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1262 * Better Framework Extendability
1263 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1264 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1265 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1266 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1269 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1270 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1271 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1272 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

1410 (but not changing the handles option)
1411 - added tests and docs for this
1414 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1415 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1416 - adjusted tests for this
1418 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1420 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
1421 * Moose::Meta::Class
1422 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
1423 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
1424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1425 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
1426 the other side (perigrin)
1428 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1429 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1430 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1431 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1432 prototypes for functions
1433 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1434 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
1435 - added tests and docs for this
1436 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
1437 default for where be { 1 }

1442 merlyn for finding this bug
1443 - tests added for this
1444 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1447 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1448 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1449 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1450 - added tests for this
1452 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1454 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1467 where not handled correctly in roles
1468 - added tests for this
1470 * Moose::Meta::Class
1471 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1472 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1473 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1475 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1476 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1478 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1479 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1480 so this release is just to fix that.
1483 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1484 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1485 (thanks to konobi for this)
1486 - added tests and docs
1488 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1496 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1497 functions to facilitate introspection.
1499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1500 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1501 to build the list of delegated methods
1502 correctly (and not override important
1503 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1505 - added tests and docs for this
1506 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1507 so that you can actually document your
1508 attributes and inspect them through the
1510 - added tests and docs for this
1512 * Moose::Meta::Class
1513 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1514 it will first look in for the class in the
1515 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1516 then default to just loading $name.
1517 - added tests and docs for this
1519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1520 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1521 - added test for this
1524 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1525 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1526 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1527 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1529 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1530 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1533 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1535 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1536 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1537 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1540 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1541 !! for this developer release to work !!
1543 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1544 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1545 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1546 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1547 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1548 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1549 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1550 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1551 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1552 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1553 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1555 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1556 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1557 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1558 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1561 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1563 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1564 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1565 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1567 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1569 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1570 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1573 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1574 called unless they actually need to be.
1575 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1576 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1577 DEMOLISH method present.
1579 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1580 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1581 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1582 type constraint, which allows for a
1583 hand optimized version of the type
1584 constraint to be used when possible.
1585 - Any internally created type constraints
1586 now provide an optimized version as well.
1588 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1590 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1591 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1592 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1594 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1595 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1596 your class namespace of these exported
1599 * Moose::Meta::Class
1600 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1601 comes up during global destruction
1603 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1607 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1611 - changed how we do type checks so that
1612 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1615 - moved accessor generation methods to
1616 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1617 conform to the API changes from
1620 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1621 - changed how constraints are compiled
1622 so that we do less recursion and more
1623 iteration. This makes the type check
1625 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1629 - created this from methods formerly found in
1630 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1632 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1633 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1636 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1639 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1641 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1643 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1644 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1645 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1646 - added tests for this
1647 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1648 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1649 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1650 - removed tests for this
1652 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1654 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1655 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1656 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1659 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1660 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1661 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1663 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1664 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1665 comments for more info.
1668 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1669 asked questions and common problems
1671 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1672 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1673 - added tests for this
1675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1676 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1677 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1678 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1680 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1681 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1684 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1685 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1686 is much appreciated :)
1687 - added tests for this
1689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1690 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1691 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1695 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1697 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1699 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1700 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1704 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1705 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1706 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1708 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1710 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1713 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1714 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1715 keywords because we need to localize them.
1716 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1718 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1719 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1720 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1723 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1727 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1728 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1731 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1732 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1733 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1735 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1737 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1738 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1739 bottom of your class file.
1742 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1745 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1747 - improved error message when loading modules so
1748 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1749 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1750 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1753 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1754 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1755 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1757 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1758 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1760 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1761 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1762 turn them on for you.
1763 - added tests for this

1792 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1793 - This release works in combination with
1794 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1795 release because it uses the a new
1796 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1797 complete Role implementation. It has
1798 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1799 the the previous CPAN version. This
1800 release also lacks good updated docs,
1801 the official release will have updated docs.
1804 - refactored the keyword exports
1805 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1806 accepts more than one Role at a time

1812 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1813 accepts more than one Role at a time
1815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1817 string enumerations which can be used as
1819 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1822 - more careful checking of params to new()
1825 - much work done on the role composition
1826 - many new tests for conflict detection
1827 and composition edge cases
1828 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1829 looking at the tests
1831 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1832 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1833 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1835 * Moose::Meta::Class

1843 - some small changes to support the new
1845 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1846 with the 'handles' option
1847 - added several tests for this
1848 - no docs for this yet

1854 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1855 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1856 on a per-attribute basis
1857 - added tests for this
1858 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1859 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1860 experimental feature and probably not finished
