0.44 2009-06-30

• Use bare option to some attributes to quiet warnings from newer Moose

0.43 2009-06-15

• Add deprecation notice
• Add inline_constructor => 0 to various classes that define their own constructors

0.42 2008-06-27

• Add export methods back to Named and Positional 0.41 2008-05-29
• Fix borked test coverage due to accidental include of methods, no real change. 0.40 2008-05-29
• Preliminary support for compiled signatures that will in many cases yield a significant performance improvement. See the documentation for more information.
• Requirements for various prerequisites lowered. Thanks to Max Kanat-Alexander for testing.
  • MooseX::Method
    • Declaring methods without coderefs inside roles will now make this role require a fully declared method in the class the role is merged into. When stevan gets around to adding the proper hooks, it will also be possible to specify required signatures.
    • You can now do 'no MooseX::Method' to unimport the symbols imported by MooseX::Method.
  • MooseX::Meta::(Parameter|Signature)
    • These are now roles, but think of them like abstract classes. They specify the API for implementing parameters and signatures. The old parameter class has been renamed to...
  • MooseX::Meta::Parameter::Moose
    • The old MooseX::Meta::Parameter.
  • MooseX::Meta::(Parameter|Signature)::Compiled
    • Roles for the compiling API.
• Pass package and method names to wrap(), per changes to Class::MOP (gphat)
• And probably lotsa other stuff.

0.39 Wed. August 1, 2007

• MooseX::Meta::Parameter
  • Moved some checks from runtime to compiletime, which means performance improvements.
  • Support for union types (See Moose docs)
  • Support for specifying classnames as types.
• MooseX::Meta::Method::Signature
  • Added methods for reading the signature.
• MooseX::Method::Exception
  • New class for improved exception handling. The new exception handling is currently only used internally and will not affect users.

0.37 Wed. July 18, 2007

• MooseX::Meta::Parameter
• MooseX::Meta::Signature::Named
• MooseX::Meta::Signature::Positional
• MooseX::Meta::Signature::Combined
  • Added a method to export the internal data.
• MooseX::Method
  • Made it easier to set default attributes with a default_attr function. It's basically just sugar for the old way so the old way will still work just fine.

0.36 Wed. July 18, 2007

• More documentation.
• Also, fixed documentation so a certain person's installation won't throw errors.

0.35 Tue. July 17, 2007

• MooseX::Method
  • Removed noconfess in favour of simply using croak which gives you pretty much the same effect. Huzzahs to mst.

0.34 Tue. July 17, 2007

• New internal error handling scheme, error messages will look slightly different.
  • MooseX::Method
    • You may now specify the "noconfess" attribute to remove the backtrace on validation error.
  • MooseX::Meta::Signature::Semi
    • Now known as...
  • MooseX::Meta::Signature::Combined
    • Which doesn't cause as much noise in my head. The keyword "semi" will continue to work for now, but will probably be removed sometime after version 1.0. More than likely, I'll add some noisy warnings to it at 1.0.

0.32 Thu. July 12, 2007

• Shiny new test suite!
  • MooseX::Method
    • Actually mention in the documentation that signatures now are optional.
    • Moose does no longer need to be explicitly used, although it's still used as before under the hood.

0.31 Fri. July 9, 2007

• MooseX::Method
  • Will now initialize a metaclass if none is found instead of throwing an error.
  • Signatures are now optional.

0.30 Fri. July 6, 2007

• Improved documentation.

0.29 Thu. July 5, 2007

• MooseX::Meta::Signature
  • This is no longer a role. It just feels better that signatures isa ::Signature.
• MooseX::Meta::Signature::Semi
  • Combined positional and named syntax.

0.22 Tue. May 1, 2007

!! NEW SYNTAX !!

• MooseX::Method
  • New syntax.
• MooseX::Meta::Signature
  • This is now a role.

0.20 Tue. May 1, 2007

  • MooseX::Method
    • Add support for attributes.
    • Remove dispatchwrapper support, no longer neccesary.

0.18 Tue. May 1, 2007

• MooseX::Method
  • Document a problem with roles.
  • Make Devel::Cover and MooseX::Method play nice together. :-)

0.17 Mon. April 30, 2007

• 100% test coverage again.
• Rethink the way names are specified to errors.
• Fix various bugs.

0.16 Mon. April 30, 2007

    • Report parameter name/position in error messages.
  • MooseX::Meta::Signature::(Named|Positional)
    • Supply name to parameter object.
