Revision history for Perl extension Moose 0.15 * Moose::Meta::Class - fixed minor issue which occasionally comes up during global destruction (thanks omega) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - changed how we do type checks so that we reduce the overall cost, but still retain correctness. * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - changed how constraints are compiled so that we do less recursion and more iteration. This makes the type check faster :) 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley) - added tests for this - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it broke predicates in an ugly way. - removed tests for this 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006 ++ NOTE ++ This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have been made in order to be compatible with that release. * Moose - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better symbol table citizen and remove a dependency (thanks Adam Kennedy) **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~** - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the comments for more info. * Moose::Cookbook - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently asked questions and common problems * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Attribute - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM. This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef as well. - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too. - new test added for this (thanks to ashley) * Moose::Meta::Role - added basic support for runtime role composition but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback is much appreciated :) - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - the type constraint now handles the coercion process through delegation, this is to support the coercion of unions * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - it is now possible for coercions to be performed on a type union - added tests for this (thanks to konobi) * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion - properly capturing error when type constraint is not found * Build.PL - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin. (thanks Adam Kennedy) 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006 * Moose::Cookbook - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written * Moose - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super keywords because we need to localize them. - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :) **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~** - added the method and self keywords, they are basically just sugar, and they may not stay around. * Moose::Object - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper an object * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes) * Moose::Meta::Role - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer creates the _role_meta ugliness of before. - fixed tests to reflect this change 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006 * Moose - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the bottom of your class file. * t/ - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test dependency. 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006 * Moose - improved error message when loading modules so it is less confusing when you load a role. - added &calculate_all_roles method to Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role NOTE: This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;) 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++ * Moose - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will turn them on for you. - added tests for this - moved code from exported subs to private methods in Moose::Meta::Class * Moose::Role - as with Moose, strict and warnings are automatically turned on for you. - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Role - now handles an edge case for override errors - added tests for this - added some more edge case tests 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++ * Moose - added prototypes to the exported subs - updated docs * Moose::Role - added prototypes to the exported subs - updated docs * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - cleaned up prototypes for the subs - updated docs 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++ - This release works in combination with Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer release because it uses the a new instance sub-protocol and a fairly complete Role implementation. It has not yet been optimized, so it slower the the previous CPAN version. This release also lacks good updated docs, the official release will have updated docs. * Moose - refactored the keyword exports - 'with' now checks Role validaity and accepts more than one Role at a time - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as needed to ensure metaclass compatability * Moose::Role - refactored the keyword exports - 'with' now checks Role validaity and accepts more than one Role at a time * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added the 'enum' keyword for simple string enumerations which can be used as type constraints - see example of usage in t/202_example.t * Moose::Object - more careful checking of params to new() * Moose::Meta::Role - much work done on the role composition - many new tests for conflict detection and composition edge cases - not enough documentation, I suggest looking at the tests * Moose::Meta::Instance - added new Instance metaclass to support the new Class::MOP instance protocol * Moose::Meta::Class - some small changes to support the new instance protocol - some small additions to support Roles * Moose::Meta::Attribute - some improvements to the accessor generation code by nothingmuch - some small changes to support the new instance protocol - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support with the 'handles' option - added several tests for this - no docs for this yet 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006 * Moose - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter thanks to chansen for this commit - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option to support custom attribute meta-classes on a per-attribute basis - added tests for this - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an experimental feature and probably not finished see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for more details, or ask about it on #moose - added tests for this * Moose::Role - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice on this - added some tests for this - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter thanks to chansen for this commit * Moose::Meta::Class - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change construct_instance (for the better) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - added type constraint unions - added tests for this - added the is_subtype_of predicate method - added tests for this 0.04 Sun. April 16th, 2006 * Moose::Role - Roles can now consume other roles - added tests for this - Roles can specify required methods now with the requires() keyword - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Role - ripped out much of it's guts ,.. much cleaner now - added required methods and correct handling of them in apply() for both classes and roles - added tests for this - no longer adds a does() method to consuming classes it relys on the one in Moose::Object - added roles attribute and some methods to support roles consuming roles * Moose::Meta::Attribute - added support for triggers on attributes - added tests for this - added support for does option on an attribute - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Class - added support for attribute triggers in the object construction - added tests for this * Moose - Moose no longer creates a subtype for your class if a subtype of the same name already exists, this should DWIM in 99.9999% of all cases * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were being reported - added test for this * Moose::Object - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now - added test for this 0.03_02 Wed. April 12, 2006 * Moose - you must now explictly use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints it no longer gets exported for you automatically * Moose::Object - new() now accepts hash-refs as well as key/value lists - added does() method to check for Roles - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Class - added roles attribute along with the add_role() and does_role() methods - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Role - now adds a does() method to consuming classes which tests the class's hierarchy for roles - added tests for this 0.03_01 Mon. April 10, 2006 * Moose::Cookbook - added new Role recipe (no content yet, only code) * Moose - added 'with' keyword for Role support - added test and docs for this - fixed subtype quoting bug - added test for this * Moose::Role - Roles for Moose - added test and docs * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added the message keyword to add custom error messages to type constraints * Moose::Meta::Role - the meta role to support Moose::Role - added tests and docs * Moose::Meta::Class - moved a number of things from Moose.pm to here, they should have been here in the first place * Moose::Meta::Attribute - moved the attribute option macros here instead of putting them in Moose.pm * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - added the message attributes and the validate method - added tests and docs for this 0.03 Thurs. March 30, 2006 * Moose::Cookbook - added the Moose::Cookbook with 5 recipes, describing all the stuff Moose can do. * Moose - fixed an issue with &extends super class loading it now captures errors and deals with inline packages correctly (bug found by mst, solution stolen from alias) - added super/override & inner/augment features - added tests and docs for these * Moose::Object - BUILDALL now takes a reference of the %params that are passed to &new, and passes that to each BUILD as well. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Type constraints now survive runtime reloading - added test for this * Moose::Meta::Class - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled during instance construction (bug found by chansen) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - read-only attributes now actually enforce their read-only-ness (this corrected in Class::MOP as well) 0.02 Tues. March 21, 2006 * Moose - many more tests, fixing some bugs and edge cases - &extends now loads the base module with UNIVERSAL::require - added UNIVERSAL::require to the dependencies list ** API CHANGES ** - each new Moose class will also create and register a subtype of Object which correspond to the new Moose class. - the 'isa' option in &has now only accepts strings, and will DWIM in almost all cases * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added type coercion features - added tests for this - added support for this in attributes and instance construction ** API CHANGES ** - type construction no longer creates a function, it registers the type instead. - added several functions to get the registered types * Moose::Object - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL were broken because of a mis-named hash key, Whoops :) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - adding support for coercion in the autogenerated accessors * Moose::Meta::Class - adding support for coercion in the instance construction * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion - type constraints and coercions are now full fledges meta-objects 0.01 Wed. March 15, 2006 - Moooooooooooooooooose!!!
