Revision history for Perl extension Moose 0.63 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass - When a class does not provide all of a role's required methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by Michael Schwern (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon Swartz. (Dave Rolsky) 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008 * Moose::Object - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable before creating the default types provided by Moose. This should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky) 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the same methods for a single role did not work right (worked just fine with multiple roles) (stevan) - added test for this (stevan) * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation - fixed the error message when trying to compose a role with a role it excludes (Sartak) * Moose::Exporter - Catch another case where recursion caused the value of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m) - added test for this (t0m) * Moose - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that use Moose without no Moose (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m) - added test for this (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin) - added test for this (perigrin) * Moose::Meta::Role - create method for constructing a role dynamically (Sartak) - added test for this (Sartak) - anonymous roles! (Sartak) - added test for this (Sartak) * Moose::Role - more consistent error messages (Sartak) * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires methods is useful (Sartak) 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary (perigrin) * Moose::Meta::Class - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods) Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky) - added tests for this (jdv79) * Various - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky) 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008 * Moose::Exporter - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky) - Tests for this bug. (t0m) * Moose::Util - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m) - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage (t0m) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski) - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the future. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized type. (jnapiorkowski) - added tests (jnapiorkowski) 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008 * Moose - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/ predicate, and link to more details sections in Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky) * Tests - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave Rolsky) - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/ lazy_build. (t0m) - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all kinds of supported type. (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Class - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with a required attribute * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems, apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose can no longer parse structured type constraints like ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some time in the future. (Dave Rolsky) 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !! !! how roles add methods to a class !! * Roles and role application ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is now possible to track the source of a method provided by a role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles. This means that methods added by a role now show up when looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky) * Makefile.PL - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one installed. For example, this release conflicts with ... - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05 - Fey::ORM <= 0.10 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small changes in the Moose internals. * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all whitespace. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski) - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski) - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski) - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski) - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type constraint implementations. * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Exporter * Moose - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and always keep them. (Dave Rolsky) - added tests for this (rafl) * Moose::Meta::Class - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky) - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler) * Moose::Meta::Role - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler) - added tests for this (thepler) * Moose::Util::MetaRole - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass, that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the default. * Moose::Meta::Class * Moose::Meta::Attribute * Moose::Meta::Method * Moose * Moose::Object * Moose::Error::Default * Moose::Error::Croak * Moose::Error::Confess - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable C method. This method ultimately calls a class constructor, and you can change the class being called. In addition, errors now pass more information than just a string. The default C behaves like C, so the behavior is not visibly different for end users. 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008 * Moose::Intro - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Unsweetened - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski) - added tests (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Exporter - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky) 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are several major changes in this release of Moose. ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the docs for details. - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch. - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky. - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the cookbook sections. - Various bug fixes. * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance. * Require Class::MOP 0.65. 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008 * Moose::Util::MetaRole * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits using this module. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose extensions (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2, respectively. 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP dependency to 0.64_07. 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not found (t0m). * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and coincidental exception. (t0m). - added docs & test for this (t0m) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is not supplied (t0m). - added docs & test for this (t0m) * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait" (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Role - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required method when that method was provided by another role being composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky) - test and bug finding (tokuhirom) 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !! !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !! * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m) - added test for this (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_ coerce. (t0m) - added test for this (t0m) * Moose::Exporter - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike" modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors much easier. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it): use Moose -traits => 'Foo' This should make writing small Moose extensions a little easier (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky) * Moose * Moose::Role - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Role - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave Rolsky and nothingmuch) - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Role - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body (nothingmuch) * many modules - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash refs, making many more classes immutable, and making constructors immutable. (nothingmuch) 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are created so that the process can be more easily overridden by subclasses (stevan) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - fixing what is passed into a ->message with the type constraints (RT #37569) - added tests for this (Charles Alderman) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst) * Moose::Cookbook - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta, Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading in combination with Moose. (bluefeet) * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base class (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 - how to write modules with an API just like C (Dave Rolsky) * all documentation - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave Rolsky, Paul Fenwick) 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008 ... this is not my day today ... * Moose::Meta::Attribute - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that clone_and_inherit options still works for Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers (stevan) 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before actually releasing the module. No actual changes in this release, except the fact that it includes the changes that I didn't include in the last release. (stevan--) 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008 * Moose - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333) - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since this is not ever something you want to do (fixed by stevan, found by obra) - added tests for this (stevan) * Moose::Object - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES) (nothingmuch) - added test for this * Moose::Meta::Attribute - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis) - added tests for this (wreis) * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::* - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should not have been released yet. Added some more examples to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan) * Moose::Cookbook::Style - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335) * t/ - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan) 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008 * Moose::Role - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does something (sartak) * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in order to provide its own implementation, that method still got added to the list of required methods for consumers of RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example of all this. (Dave Rolsky) - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by dew. (Dave Rolsky) - added test for this (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak) - added tests for this (sartak) - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new install_delegation method (Stevan) * Moose::Object - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new() * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue (not yet fixed) - Some null_constraint optimizations 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules to 0.50. 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !! !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !! * Moose::Meta::Attribute - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with custom defined reader, writer and accessor options. - added docs for this (TODO). - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold) - added the custom attribute alias for regular Moose attributes which is "Moose" - fix builder and default both being used (groditi) * Moose Moose::Meta::Class Moose::Meta::Attribute Moose::Meta::Role Moose::Meta::Role::Composite Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - switched usage of reftype to ref because it is much faster * Moose::Meta::Role - changing add_package_symbol to use the new HASH ref form * Moose::Object - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak) - added test for this (thanks to Sartak) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - move the ClassName type check code to Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak) * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom) 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008 (early morning release engineering)-- - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor which was causing the indexer to choke 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008 (late night release engineering)-- - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional changes in this release 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !! !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !! * Moose::Meta::Class - some optimizations of the &initialize method since it is called so often by &meta * Moose::Meta::Class Moose::Meta::Role - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds faster * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor - is_needed can now also be called as a class method for immutablization to check if the destructor object even needs to be created at all * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - added more descriptive error message to help keep people from wasting time tracking an error that is easily fixed by upgrading. 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008 * Moose - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all XS based functionality is now optional and a Pure Perl version is supplied - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable can now be used to force non-XS versions to always be used - several of the packages have been tweaked to take care of this, mostly we added support for the package_name and name variables in all the Method metaclasses - before/around/after method modifiers now support regexp matching of names (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano) - tests added for this - NOTE: this only works for classes, it is currently not supported in roles, but, ... patches welcome - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since the stack trace is usually not helpful * Moose::Role - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since the stack trace is usually not helpful - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the same array ref form that Moose.pm does (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...)) - added test for this * Moose::Meta::Attribute - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an error, as it's useful to trigger off of the constructor * Moose::Meta::Class - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in Class::MOP 0.57 * Moose::Util - does_role now handles non-Moose classes more gracefully - added tests for this - added the 'add_method_modifier' function (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - subtypes of parameterizable types now are themselves parameterizable types * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - fixed bug where trigger was not being called by the inlined immutable constructors - added test for this (thanks to Caelum) * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance - now uses the metaclass of the instance (if possible) to create the anon-class (thanks Jonathan Rockway) * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe (thanks to Sartak) * t/ - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was causing occasional cpantester failures - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be more descriptive (thanks to Sartak) 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008 * Moose - made make_immutable warning cluck to show where the error is (thanks mst) * Moose::Object - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call ->body when looping through the methods, to avoid the overloaded method call. - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was eating the $@ values, and so not working correctly, it still kind of eats them, but so does vanilla perl - added tests for this * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7 - added new recipe for immutable functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9 - added new recipe for builder and lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11 - added new recipe for method aliasing and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky) * t/ - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack) ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat since Module::Install has done that. 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008 * NOTE TO SELF: drink more coffee before doing release engineering - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests, and we broke some of the custom meta-attr modules. This fixes that. 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else changed in this release (cpantesters++) - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55 since we have tests which need the C3 support 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~ - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan) ** IMPORTANT NOTE ** - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't use it in any new code and please fix your old code as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will be removed. * Moose Moose::Role Moose::Meta::Class - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Class - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the mailing list) - added test for this * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky) - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky) - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden Moose::Meta::Method::Augmented - moved the logic for these into their own classes (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - inherited attributes may now be extended without restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak) - added tests for this (Sartak) - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without a default), give the name of the attribute in the error message (Sartak) - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods to allow introspection of traits - added tests for this - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from Moose::Meta::Class - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch) - added tests for this (t0m) * Moose::Object - localize $@ inside DEMOLISHALL to avoid it eating $@ (found by Ernesto) - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - &find_type_constraint now DWIMs when given an type constraint object or name (nothingmuch) - &find_or_create_type_constraint superseded with a number of more specific functions: - find_or_create_{isa,does}_type_constraint - find_or_parse_type_constraint * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Enum Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized - added the &equals method for comparing two type constraints (nothingmuch) - added tests for this (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - add the &parents method, which is just an alias to &parent. Useful for polymorphism with TC::{Class,Role,Union} (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class - added the class attribute for introspection purposes (nothingmuch) - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Enum Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role - broke these out into their own classes (nothingmuch) * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe* - fixed references to test file locations in the POD and updated up some text for new Moose features (Sartak) * Moose::Util - Added &resolve_metaclass_alias, a helper function for finding an actual class for a short name (e.g. in the traits list) 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008 - I hate Pod::Coverage 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008 * Moose - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes that come from recently composed roles. It makes sense, people are using it, and so why not just officially support it. - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763) * oose - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow monkeypatching of classes in one liners * Moose::Util - fixing the 'apply_all_roles' keyword so that it will not trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763) * Moose::Meta::Class - added ->create method which now supports roles (thanks to jrockway) - added tests for this - added ->create_anon_class which now supports roles and caching of the results (thanks to jrockway) - added tests for this - made ->does_role a little more forgiving when it is checking a Class::MOP era metaclasses. * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance - it is now possible to pass extra params to be used when a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params) - added tests for this * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi) - added tests for this - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else works as before. - added tests for this * t/ - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed from a role, it works and makes sense too. * Moose::Meta::Attribute - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing when the method cannot be found, not sure why it ever did this originally, this means we now have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed objects - added more delegation tests - adding ->does method to this so as to better support traits and their introspection. - added tests for this * Moose::Object - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so that it does not pollute others (RT #33509) - made ->does a little more forgiving when it is passed Class::MOP era metaclasses. 0.38 Fri. Feb. 15, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - fixed initializer to correctly do type checking and coercion in the callback - added tests for this * t/ - fixed some finicky tests (thanks to konobi) 0.37 Thurs.

Sept. 27, 2007 == New Features == * Parameterized Types We now support parameterized collection types, such as: ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values They can also be nested: ArrayRef[HashRef[RegExpr]] # an array of hashes with regexpr values And work with the type unions as well: ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings * Better Framework Extendability Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE" section of the Moose.pm docs. * Moose Snacks! In an effort to begin documenting some of the various details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code. ==== ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~ - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of Module::Build (thanks to jrockway) * Moose - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and set it to inline the accessors - fix import to allow Sub::Exporter like { into => } and { into_level => } (perigrin) - exposed and documented init_meta() to allow better embedding and extending of Moose (perigrin) * t/ - complete re-organization of the test suite - added some new tests as well - finally re-enabled the Moose::POOP test since the new version of DBM::Deep now works again (thanks rob) * Moose::Meta::Class - fixed very odd and very nasty recursion bug with inner/augment (mst) - added tests for this (eilara) * Moose::Meta::Attribute Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - fixed issue with overload::Overloaded getting called on non-blessed items.

So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++) * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct - updated the accompanying test as well +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++ +++ with new features added as well +++ * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint - no longer uses package variable to keep track of the type constraints, now uses the an instance of Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it - added more sophisticated type notation parsing (thanks to mugwump) - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we can track where the type constraints are created * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union - this has been added to service the newly refactored Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized - added this module (taken from MooseX::AttributeHelpers) to help construct nested collection types - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry - added this class to keep track of type constraints 0.25 Mon.

March 10, 2007 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~ * misc. - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to load all classes. - added tests to show types and subtypes working with Declare::Constraints::Simple and Test::Deep as constraint engines. 0.18_001 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !! !! for this developer release to work !! This release was primarily adding the immutable feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which you promise not to alter. When you set the class as immutable it will perform various bits of memoization and inline certain part of the code (constructors, destructors and accessors). This minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates) one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional. It has several configurable bits as well, so you can pick and choose to your specific needs. The changes involved in this were fairly wide and highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are truely interested in what was changed, please do a diff :) 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - bugfix for read-only accessors which are have a type constraint and lazy. Thanks to chansen for finding it. 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006 ++ NOTE ++ There are some speed improvements in this release, but they are only the begining, so stay tuned. * Moose::Object - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get called unless they actually need to be. This gave us a signifigant speed boost for the cases when there is no BUILD or DEMOLISH method present. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - added an 'optimize_as' option to the type constraint, which allows for a hand optimized version of the type constraint to be used when possible. - Any internally created type constraints now provide an optimized version as well. 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006 ++ NOTE ++ This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have been made in order to be compatible with that release. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added &unimport so that you can clean out your class namespace of these exported keywords * Moose::Meta::Class - fixed minor issue which occasionally comes up during global destruction (thanks omega) - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into its own file. * Moose::Meta::Role - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into its own file. * Moose::Meta::Attribute - changed how we do type checks so that we reduce the overall cost, but still retain correctness. *** API CHANGE *** - moved accessor generation methods to Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to conform to the API changes from Class::MOP 0.36 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - changed how constraints are compiled so that we do less recursion and more iteration. This makes the type check faster :) - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union into its own file * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - created this from methods formerly found in Moose::Meta::Attribute * Moose::Meta::Role::Method - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint 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 compatibility * 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.
