1 Revision history for Perl extension Moose
4 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
5 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
6 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
7 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
8 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
9 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
12 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
13 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
15 * Roles and role application
16 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
17 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
18 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
19 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
20 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
22 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
23 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
26 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
27 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
28 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
29 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
30 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
33 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
34 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
35 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
36 changes in the Moose internals.
38 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
39 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
40 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
43 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
44 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
45 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
46 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
48 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
49 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
50 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
51 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
53 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
54 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
55 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
56 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
57 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
58 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
59 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
60 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
61 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
62 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
63 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
64 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
65 constraint implementations.
67 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
71 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
72 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
73 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
74 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
75 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
76 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
77 - added tests for this (rafl)
80 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
81 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
82 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
83 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
84 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
85 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
86 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
87 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
90 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
91 - added tests for this (thepler)
93 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
94 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
95 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
96 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
100 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
101 * Moose::Meta::Method
104 * Moose::Error::Default
105 * Moose::Error::Croak
106 * Moose::Error::Confess
107 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
108 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
109 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
110 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
111 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
112 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
114 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
116 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
117 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
120 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
121 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
122 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
124 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
125 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
126 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
127 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
128 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
131 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
132 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
134 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
135 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
136 several major changes in this release of Moose.
137 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
140 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
142 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
143 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
145 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
150 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
151 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
153 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
155 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
156 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
157 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
158 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
159 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
160 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
162 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
163 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
164 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
166 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
167 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
168 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
171 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
172 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
173 dependency to 0.64_07.
175 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
176 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
177 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
180 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
184 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
185 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
186 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
187 coincidental exception. (t0m).
188 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
190 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
191 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
193 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
195 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
196 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
200 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
201 method when that method was provided by another role being
202 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
203 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
205 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
207 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
208 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
211 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
212 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
213 - added test for this (t0m)
215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
216 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
217 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
219 - added test for this (t0m)
222 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
223 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
224 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
227 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
228 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
230 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
232 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
235 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
236 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
237 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
239 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
240 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
243 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
244 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
245 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
246 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
250 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
251 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
252 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
255 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
256 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
257 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
258 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
261 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
265 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
266 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
267 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

281 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
284 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
285 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
287 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
288 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
289 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
291 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

308 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
310 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
311 ... this is not my day today ...
313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
314 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
315 clone_and_inherit options still works for
316 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
317 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
320 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
321 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
322 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
323 in this release, except the fact that it includes
324 the changes that I didn't include in the last
327 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
329 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
330 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
331 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
332 this is not ever something you want to do
333 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

359 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
362 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
363 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
364 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
365 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
366 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
367 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
368 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
369 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
370 - added tests for this
372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
373 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
374 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
375 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

449 (late night release engineering)--
451 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
452 changes in this release
454 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
455 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
456 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
459 - some optimizations of the &initialize method

469 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
470 method for immutablization to check if the
471 destructor object even needs to be created
474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
475 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
476 - added more descriptive error message to help
477 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
478 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
480 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
482 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
483 XS based functionality is now optional

491 variables in all the Method metaclasses
492 - before/around/after method modifiers now
493 support regexp matching of names
494 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
495 - tests added for this
496 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
497 is currently not supported in roles,
498 but, ... patches welcome
499 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
500 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
501 the stack trace is usually not helpful
504 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
505 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
506 the stack trace is usually not helpful
507 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

553 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
555 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
556 show where the error is (thanks mst)
559 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
560 ->body when looping through the
561 methods, to avoid the overloaded
563 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
564 eating the $@ values, and so not
565 working correctly, it still kind of
566 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
567 - added tests for this
569 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7

607 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
608 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)

743 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else
745 - added tests for this

749 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
752 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
753 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
754 it ever did this originally, this means we now
755 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
757 - added more delegation tests
758 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
759 support traits and their introspection.
760 - added tests for this

1046 - fixed how required methods are handled
1047 when they encounter overriden or modified
1048 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1049 - added tests for this
1051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1052 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1053 the | always creates a union and so is
1054 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1055 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1057 - added more tests for this
1059 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1062 * Parameterized Types
1063 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1064 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1065 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1066 They can also be nested:
1067 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values
1068 And work with the type unions as well:
1069 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1071 * Better Framework Extendability
1072 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1073 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1074 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1075 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1078 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1079 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1080 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1081 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1084 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1086 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

1312 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1314 - added tests and docs for this
1315 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1316 so that you can actually document your
1317 attributes and inspect them through the
1319 - added tests and docs for this
1321 * Moose::Meta::Class
1322 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1323 it will first look in for the class in the
1324 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1325 then default to just loading $name.
1326 - added tests and docs for this
1328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1329 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1330 - added test for this
1333 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

1335 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1336 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1338 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1339 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1342 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1344 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1345 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1346 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1349 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1350 !! for this developer release to work !!
1352 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1353 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1354 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1355 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1356 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1357 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1358 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1359 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1360 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1361 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1362 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1364 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1365 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1366 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1367 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1370 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1372 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1373 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1374 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1376 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1378 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1379 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1382 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1383 called unless they actually need to be.
1384 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1385 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1386 DEMOLISH method present.
1388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1389 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1390 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1391 type constraint, which allows for a
1392 hand optimized version of the type
1393 constraint to be used when possible.
1394 - Any internally created type constraints
1395 now provide an optimized version as well.
1397 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1399 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1400 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1401 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1404 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1405 your class namespace of these exported
1408 * Moose::Meta::Class
1409 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1410 comes up during global destruction
1412 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1416 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1420 - changed how we do type checks so that
1421 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1424 - moved accessor generation methods to
1425 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1426 conform to the API changes from
1429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1430 - changed how constraints are compiled
1431 so that we do less recursion and more
1432 iteration. This makes the type check
1434 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1438 - created this from methods formerly found in
1439 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1441 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1442 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1445 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1447 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1448 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1450 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1453 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1454 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1455 - added tests for this
1456 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1457 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1458 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1459 - removed tests for this
1461 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1463 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1464 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1465 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1468 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1469 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1470 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1472 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1473 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1474 comments for more info.
1477 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1478 asked questions and common problems
1480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1481 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1482 - added tests for this
1484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1485 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1486 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1487 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1489 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1490 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1493 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1494 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1495 is much appreciated :)
1496 - added tests for this
1498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1499 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1500 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1504 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1506 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1508 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1509 - properly capturing error when type constraint
1513 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
1514 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
1515 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1517 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
1519 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
1522 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
1523 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
1524 keywords because we need to localize them.
1525 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
1527 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1528 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
1529 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
1532 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
1535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1536 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
1537 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
1540 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
1541 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
1542 - fixed tests to reflect this change
1544 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
1546 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
1547 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
1548 bottom of your class file.
1551 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
1554 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
1556 - improved error message when loading modules so
1557 it is less confusing when you load a role.
1558 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
1559 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
1562 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
1563 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
1564 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
1566 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
1567 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1569 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
1570 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
1571 turn them on for you.
1572 - added tests for this
1573 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
1574 in Moose::Meta::Class
1577 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
1578 automatically turned on for you.

1600 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
1601 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
1602 - This release works in combination with
1603 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
1604 release because it uses the a new
1605 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
1606 complete Role implementation. It has
1607 not yet been optimized, so it slower
1608 the the previous CPAN version. This
1609 release also lacks good updated docs,
1610 the official release will have updated docs.
1613 - refactored the keyword exports
1614 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1615 accepts more than one Role at a time
1616 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
1617 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
1620 - refactored the keyword exports
1621 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
1622 accepts more than one Role at a time
1624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1625 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
1626 string enumerations which can be used as
1628 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
1631 - more careful checking of params to new()
1634 - much work done on the role composition
1635 - many new tests for conflict detection
1636 and composition edge cases
1637 - not enough documentation, I suggest
1638 looking at the tests
1640 * Moose::Meta::Instance
1641 - added new Instance metaclass to support
1642 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
1644 * Moose::Meta::Class
1645 - some small changes to support the new
1647 - some small additions to support Roles
1649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1650 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
1652 - some small changes to support the new
1654 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
1655 with the 'handles' option
1656 - added several tests for this
1657 - no docs for this yet
1659 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
1661 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
1662 thanks to chansen for this commit
1663 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
1664 to support custom attribute meta-classes
1665 on a per-attribute basis
1666 - added tests for this
1667 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
1668 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
1669 experimental feature and probably not finished
