Revision history for Perl extension Moose
0.26 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

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. (RT #29269)
- added tests for this
* Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
- fixed issue with generated accessor code making
assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
* Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
- these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
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

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. Aug. 13, 2007
* Moose
- Documentation update to reference Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
under 'isa' in 'has' for how to define a new type
(thanks to shlomif).

added, but not currently running
(thanks to kolibre)
* Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7

the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
(but not changing the handles option)
- added tests and docs for this

0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
* Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
- fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
prototypes for functions

- coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
merlyn for finding this bug
- tests added for this
- fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
* Moose::Object

so that you can actually document your
attributes and inspect them through the
meta-object.

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 ++
- 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
