Revision history for Perl extension Moose

+ !! 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<throw_error> 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<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, 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
- - Add a remove_keywords function so if you extend Moose
- you don't have to cargo cult Moose's unimport (Sartak)
+ - 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 now warns when you try to have it export its sugar
- functions into the "main" package. Previously it silently did
- nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
+ * 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)
