1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Various packaging issues.
10 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
14 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
15 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
20 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
21 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
22 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
26 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
27 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
28 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
30 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
34 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
36 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
40 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
41 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
43 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
47 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
49 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
53 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
55 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
56 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
58 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
62 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
63 skips every other role. (rjbs)
65 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
66 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
67 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
68 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
69 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
71 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
75 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
76 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
77 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
80 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
85 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
87 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
88 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
90 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
94 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
95 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
96 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
100 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
101 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
103 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
104 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
106 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
107 environments. (doy, mateu)
109 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
113 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
114 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
115 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
116 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
120 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
121 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
123 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
127 * Update conflicts list.
130 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
134 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
135 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
136 details. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
139 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
140 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
141 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
142 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
146 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
147 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
148 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
149 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
150 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
153 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
157 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
158 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
160 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
163 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
167 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
168 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
169 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
170 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
172 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
173 immutable classes). (mo)
175 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
176 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
177 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
179 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
183 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
185 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
187 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
191 * Fix some indexing issues.
193 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
195 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
199 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
200 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
201 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
202 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
203 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
205 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
206 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
211 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
212 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
213 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
214 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
216 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
217 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
218 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
222 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
223 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
226 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
230 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
231 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
235 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
239 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
240 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
241 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
242 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
245 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
249 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
252 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
256 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
257 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
258 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
261 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
265 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
266 policy. (Chris Prather)
268 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
269 on this new support policy. (doy)
273 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
274 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
275 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
277 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
278 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
280 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
284 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
285 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
286 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
287 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
290 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
294 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
295 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
298 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
302 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
303 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
305 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
306 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
310 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
311 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
312 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
313 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
314 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
315 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
318 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
320 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
321 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
322 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
323 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
325 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
326 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
328 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
333 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
334 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
336 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
340 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
341 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
342 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
344 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
348 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
349 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
350 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
352 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
353 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
356 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
357 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
360 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
361 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
362 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
364 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
365 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
370 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
371 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
372 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
373 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
375 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
376 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
378 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
379 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
381 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
382 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
383 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
384 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
386 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
387 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
388 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
391 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
392 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
393 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
394 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
396 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
397 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
400 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
401 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
402 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
404 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
408 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
409 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
410 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
412 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
413 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
414 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
417 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
418 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
419 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
421 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
422 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
423 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
425 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
426 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
430 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
431 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
432 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
434 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
435 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
436 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
437 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
439 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
444 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
445 value is a reference.
447 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
448 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
450 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
454 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
455 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
456 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
458 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
462 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
463 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
467 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
468 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
469 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
472 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
473 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
475 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
479 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
481 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
485 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
487 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
488 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
493 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
494 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
496 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
497 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
498 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
499 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
500 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
502 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
503 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
504 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
505 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
507 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
511 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
512 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
517 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
519 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
521 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
526 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
528 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
532 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
533 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
534 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
536 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
537 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
538 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
539 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
541 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
542 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
543 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
544 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
545 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
548 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
553 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
554 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
555 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
556 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
557 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
560 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
564 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
567 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
568 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
572 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
573 function (not just method). (doy)
577 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
578 and aren't easily installable/testable.
580 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
584 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
585 to be overridden more easily (doy).
587 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
591 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
592 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
594 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
598 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
599 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
600 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
602 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
606 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
607 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
608 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
610 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
611 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
615 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
616 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
618 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
619 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
623 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
624 is applied to a class (t0m).
626 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
627 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
629 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
632 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
633 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
635 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
636 be much more robust. (doy)
638 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
640 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
643 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
647 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
648 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
650 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
654 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
655 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
657 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
660 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
661 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
662 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
664 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
665 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
666 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
669 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
671 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
675 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
676 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
680 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
682 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
687 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
691 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
692 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
696 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
698 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
702 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
703 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
707 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
708 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
712 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
713 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
715 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
719 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
720 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
721 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
724 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
728 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
729 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
730 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
731 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
733 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
737 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
738 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
739 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
743 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
746 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
751 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
752 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
756 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
757 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
759 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
760 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
761 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
762 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
764 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
768 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
772 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
773 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
775 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
776 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
777 - Moose::Util::does_role
778 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
779 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
780 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
782 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
786 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
787 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
788 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
791 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
795 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
796 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
799 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
803 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
804 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
807 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
811 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
813 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
814 class. (Dave Rolsky).
816 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
817 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
818 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
820 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
821 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
822 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
825 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
826 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
828 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
829 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
830 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
832 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
834 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
835 substr et al, again. (sorear)
837 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
839 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
842 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
843 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
845 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
846 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
848 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
849 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
850 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
851 dependencies installed.
853 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
854 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
857 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
859 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
863 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
865 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
866 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
867 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
870 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
871 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
873 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
874 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
877 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
878 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
879 others. (nothingmuch)
881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
882 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
883 remove_accessors. (doy)
885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
886 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
887 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
890 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
892 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
894 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
895 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
898 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
899 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
901 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
902 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
904 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
906 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
907 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
910 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
911 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
912 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
913 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
914 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
916 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
919 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
920 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
921 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
922 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
925 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
926 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
927 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
928 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
929 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
931 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
932 which were not receiving the value of
933 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
934 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
935 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
936 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
940 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
941 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
942 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
943 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
944 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
948 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
949 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
950 - added tests for this (Stevan)
953 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
954 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
955 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
958 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
959 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
960 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
963 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
964 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
967 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
968 class if you pass it options for
969 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
970 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
971 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
972 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
973 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
974 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
975 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
976 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
977 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
979 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
980 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
981 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
982 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
983 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
986 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
987 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
988 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
989 existing delegation API. (hdp)
991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
992 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
993 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
994 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
995 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
996 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
999 * Moose::Error::Croak
1000 * Moose::Error::Confess
1001 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1002 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1005 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1008 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1009 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1010 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1012 * Moose::Meta::Class
1013 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1016 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1017 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1018 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1021 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1022 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1023 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1024 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1027 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1030 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1032 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1033 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1036 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1037 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1041 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1042 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1044 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1045 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1046 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1047 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1048 using it for new code!
1050 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1051 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1052 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1053 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1055 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1056 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1057 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1058 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1059 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1060 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1061 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1062 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1065 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1068 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1069 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1073 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1076 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1077 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1079 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1081 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1082 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1084 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1085 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1086 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1088 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1089 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1090 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1093 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1095 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1096 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1097 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1098 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1100 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1102 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1105 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1106 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1107 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1109 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1110 associated_methods. (hdp)
1111 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1112 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1113 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1114 misspelled) arguments
1116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1117 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1118 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1119 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1123 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1125 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1129 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1130 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1133 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1134 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1136 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1137 * Moose::Meta::Class
1138 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1139 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1141 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1142 * Moose::Manual::Types
1143 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1144 string parsing rathole (mst)
1146 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1147 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1148 using plain objects instead
1150 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1151 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1152 that's what we need.
1154 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1155 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1156 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1157 three times today (perigrin)
1158 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1159 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1162 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1163 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1164 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1167 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1168 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1169 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1170 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1171 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1172 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1175 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1176 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1177 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1178 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1181 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1183 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1186 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1188 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1191 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1192 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1193 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1197 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1198 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1201 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1202 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1204 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1205 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1206 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1208 * Moose::Unsweetened
1209 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1212 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1215 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1219 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1220 methods during global destruction (doy)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1224 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1225 consumption (Sartak)
1227 * Moose::Meta::Class
1228 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1229 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1232 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1233 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1236 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1237 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1239 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1241 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1245 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1246 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1247 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1251 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1252 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1255 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1257 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1259 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1263 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1264 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1265 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1267 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1268 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1269 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1272 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1275 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1276 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1277 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1281 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1282 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1284 * Moose::Meta::Class
1285 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1287 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1289 * Moose::Meta::Class
1290 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1291 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1294 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1295 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1298 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1299 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1302 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1305 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1308 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1311 * Moose::Meta::Class
1312 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1314 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1315 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1318 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1319 * More deprecations and renamings
1320 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1321 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1322 when an object is constructed)
1325 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1326 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1327 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1330 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1331 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1332 feature, and it works again.
1335 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1337 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1339 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1340 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1341 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1344 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1345 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1346 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1347 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1350 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1351 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1352 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1353 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1356 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1357 metaclass object. (hdp)
1359 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1360 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1363 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1364 point out this fact. (hdp)
1366 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1367 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1369 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1370 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1372 * Moose::Meta::Class
1373 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1374 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1375 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1376 called during instance construction were passed the
1377 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1378 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1380 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1381 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1384 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1385 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1386 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1389 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1390 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1391 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1392 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1393 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1395 - Moose::Meta::Class
1396 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1398 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1399 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1400 when an object is constructed)
1401 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1403 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1404 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1405 when an object is constructed)
1406 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1407 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1408 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1411 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1413 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1414 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1416 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1418 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1419 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1420 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1423 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1424 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1426 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1428 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1429 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1431 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1432 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1435 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1436 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1439 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1440 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1441 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1444 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1448 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1449 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1450 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1452 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1453 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1456 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1457 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1458 with recommended workarounds.
1460 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1461 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1464 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1465 (yes, spelled like that).
1467 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1468 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1470 * Moose::Meta::Class
1471 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1472 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1474 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1477 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1478 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1479 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1480 instead. Reported by doy.
1482 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1484 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1485 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1488 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1489 message) is now deprecated.
1490 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1491 often got it wrong. For example:
1493 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1495 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1499 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1500 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1501 bite you in weird cases.
1503 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1504 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1505 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1506 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1508 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1509 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1513 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1516 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1517 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1521 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1524 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1527 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1529 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1530 - added tests for this (stevan)
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1533 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1534 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1535 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1539 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1540 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1541 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1542 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1544 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1545 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1546 - added tests for this (rafl)
1548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1549 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1550 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1551 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1555 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1556 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1560 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1561 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1563 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1565 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1566 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1568 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1569 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1570 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1571 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1572 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1575 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1576 error message did not specify the attribute name
1579 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1581 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1583 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1584 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1585 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1588 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1591 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1593 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1594 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1595 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1596 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1598 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1600 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1601 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1602 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1603 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1606 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1607 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1609 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1610 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1611 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1612 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1613 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1616 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1617 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1618 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1619 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1622 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1623 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1624 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1625 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1626 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1628 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1629 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1630 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1631 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1632 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1633 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1636 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1638 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1639 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1640 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1641 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1644 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1647 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1651 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1652 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1654 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1655 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1656 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1657 guts. (nothingmuch).
1659 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1661 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1664 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1665 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1666 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1668 * Moose::Meta::Class
1669 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1672 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1673 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1675 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1676 * Moose::Unsweetened
1677 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1680 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1681 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1682 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1683 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1684 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1685 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1688 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1689 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1690 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1691 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1692 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1693 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1695 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1696 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1698 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1700 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1701 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1704 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1705 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1706 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1709 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1710 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1711 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1712 same methods for a single role did not work
1713 right (worked just fine with multiple
1715 - added test for this (stevan)
1717 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1718 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1719 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1722 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1723 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1724 - added test for this (t0m)
1727 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1728 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1729 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1731 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1732 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1733 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1734 - added test for this (t0m)
1736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1737 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1738 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1739 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1740 - added test for this (perigrin)
1743 - create method for constructing a role
1744 dynamically (Sartak)
1745 - added test for this (Sartak)
1746 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1747 - added test for this (Sartak)
1750 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1752 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1753 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1754 methods is useful (Sartak)
1756 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1757 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1758 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1761 * Moose::Meta::Class
1762 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1763 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1764 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1765 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1766 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1767 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1770 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1771 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1775 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1776 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1777 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1781 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1782 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1783 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1786 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1787 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1788 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1789 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1790 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1791 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1794 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1795 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1796 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1797 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1798 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1799 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1800 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1801 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1802 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1803 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1804 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1807 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1810 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1811 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1812 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1813 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1814 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1816 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1818 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1819 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1820 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1823 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1826 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1827 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1828 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1831 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1832 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1834 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1836 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1837 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1839 * Moose::Meta::Class
1840 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1841 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1842 a required attribute
1844 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1846 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1847 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1850 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1852 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1853 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1854 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1855 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1856 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1857 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1858 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1859 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1861 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1862 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1863 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1865 * Roles and role application
1866 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1867 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1868 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1869 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1870 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1872 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1873 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1876 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1877 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1878 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1879 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1880 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1883 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1884 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1885 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1886 changes in the Moose internals.
1888 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1890 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1893 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1894 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1895 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1896 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1898 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1899 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1900 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1901 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1904 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1905 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1906 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1907 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1908 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1909 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1910 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1911 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1912 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1913 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1914 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1915 constraint implementations.
1917 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1921 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1922 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1923 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1924 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1925 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1926 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1927 - added tests for this (rafl)
1929 * Moose::Meta::Class
1930 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1931 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1932 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1933 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1934 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1935 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1936 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1940 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1941 - added tests for this (thepler)
1943 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1944 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1945 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1946 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1949 * Moose::Meta::Class
1950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1951 * Moose::Meta::Method
1954 * Moose::Error::Default
1955 * Moose::Error::Croak
1956 * Moose::Error::Confess
1957 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1958 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1959 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1960 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1961 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1962 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1964 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1966 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1967 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1969 * Moose::Unsweetened
1970 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1971 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1972 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1975 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1976 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1977 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1978 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1981 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1982 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1984 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1985 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1986 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1987 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1990 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1992 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1993 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1995 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1998 - Various bug fixes.
2000 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2001 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2003 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2005 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2006 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2007 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2008 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2009 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2010 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2013 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2014 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2016 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2017 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2018 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2021 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2022 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2023 dependency to 0.64_07.
2025 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2026 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2027 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2030 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2034 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2035 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2036 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2037 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2038 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2041 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2043 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2045 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2046 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2050 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2051 method when that method was provided by another role being
2052 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)

2060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2061 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2062 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2063 - added test for this (t0m)
2065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2066 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2067 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2069 - added test for this (t0m)
2072 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2073 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2074 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)

2078 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2080 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2083 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2085 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2100 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2101 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2102 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2106 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2107 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

2161 ... this is not my day today ...
2163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2164 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2165 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2166 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2167 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2170 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2171 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2172 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2173 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2174 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2177 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2179 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2180 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2212 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2213 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2214 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2215 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2216 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2217 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2218 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2219 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2220 - added tests for this
2222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2223 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2224 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2225 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2333 XS based functionality is now optional
2334 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2335 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2336 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2751 - error handling/messages
2752 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2755 - added this module to support the refactor
2756 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2759 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2760 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2764 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2766 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2767 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2768 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2770 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2771 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2783 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2784 - added tests for this
2786 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2788 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2789 types without having to explictly define them
2790 - added tests for this
2792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2793 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2794 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2796 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2798 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2799 they should inherit the parent's coercion

2802 a single type at different times instead of
2803 having to do it all in one place
2804 - added tests for this
2806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2807 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2808 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2811 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2812 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2813 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2814 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2815 new features above (although you cannot add

2818 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2820 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2822 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2823 - added tests for this.
2824 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2825 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2826 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2827 - added tests for this
2828 - added docs for this
2830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2831 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2832 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2833 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2834 instead it will just return undef.
2835 - added docs for this
2837 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2849 with work correctly.
2850 - added tests for this
2853 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2854 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2857 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2858 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2859 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2861 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2893 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2896 - fixed how required methods are handled
2897 when they encounter overriden or modified
2898 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2899 - added tests for this
2901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2902 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2903 the | always creates a union and so is
2904 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2905 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2907 - added more tests for this
2909 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2912 * Parameterized Types
2913 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2914 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2915 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2916 They can also be nested:
2917 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2918 And work with the type unions as well:
2919 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2921 * Better Framework Extendability
2922 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2923 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2924 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2925 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2928 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2929 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2930 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2931 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2934 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2936 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2937 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2940 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2968 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2970 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2971 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2972 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2973 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2975 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2976 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2977 - updated the accompanying test as well
2979 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2980 +++ with new features added as well +++
2982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2983 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2984 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2985 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2986 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2988 - added tests for this
2990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2996 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2997 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2999 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3000 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3001 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3002 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3016 (thanks to shlomif).
3018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3019 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3020 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3021 - added tests for this

3024 - added tests for this
3026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3027 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3069 (but not changing the handles option)
3070 - added tests and docs for this
3073 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3074 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3075 - adjusted tests for this
3077 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3078 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3079 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3085 the other side (perigrin)
3087 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3089 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3090 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3091 prototypes for functions
3092 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3093 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3103 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3106 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3107 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3108 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3109 - added tests for this
3111 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3113 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3131 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3132 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3134 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3135 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3137 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3138 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3139 so this release is just to fix that.
3142 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3143 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3144 (thanks to konobi for this)
3145 - added tests and docs
3147 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3148 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3151 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3152 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3153 - added tests for this
3154 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3155 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3156 functions to facilitate introspection.
3158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3159 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3160 to build the list of delegated methods
3161 correctly (and not override important
3162 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3164 - added tests and docs for this
3165 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3166 so that you can actually document your
3167 attributes and inspect them through the
3169 - added tests and docs for this
3171 * Moose::Meta::Class
3172 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3173 it will first look in for the class in the
3174 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3175 then default to just loading $name.
3176 - added tests and docs for this
3178 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3179 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3180 - added test for this
3183 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3184 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3185 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3186 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3188 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3189 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3192 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3194 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3195 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3196 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3199 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3200 !! for this developer release to work !!
3202 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3203 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3204 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3205 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3206 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3207 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3208 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3209 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3210 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3211 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3212 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3214 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3215 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3216 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3217 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3220 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3222 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3223 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3224 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3226 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3228 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3229 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3232 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3233 called unless they actually need to be.
3234 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3235 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3236 DEMOLISH method present.
3238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3240 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3241 type constraint, which allows for a
3242 hand optimized version of the type
3243 constraint to be used when possible.
3244 - Any internally created type constraints
3245 now provide an optimized version as well.
3247 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3249 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3250 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3251 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3253 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3254 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3255 your class namespace of these exported
3258 * Moose::Meta::Class
3259 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3260 comes up during global destruction
3262 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3266 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3270 - changed how we do type checks so that
3271 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3274 - moved accessor generation methods to
3275 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3276 conform to the API changes from
3279 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3280 - changed how constraints are compiled
3281 so that we do less recursion and more
3282 iteration. This makes the type check
3284 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3288 - created this from methods formerly found in
3289 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3291 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3292 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3295 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3297 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3298 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3300 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3303 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3304 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3305 - added tests for this
3306 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3307 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3308 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3309 - removed tests for this
3311 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3313 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3314 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3315 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3318 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3319 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3320 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3322 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3323 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3324 comments for more info.
3327 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3328 asked questions and common problems
3330 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3331 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3332 - added tests for this
3334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3335 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3336 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3337 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3339 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3340 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3343 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3344 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3345 is much appreciated :)
3346 - added tests for this
3348 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3349 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3350 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3353 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3354 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3356 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3358 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3359 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3363 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3364 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3365 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3367 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3369 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3372 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3373 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3374 keywords because we need to localize them.
3375 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3377 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3378 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3379 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3382 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3385 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3386 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3387 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3390 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3391 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3392 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3394 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3396 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3397 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3398 bottom of your class file.
3401 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3404 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3406 - improved error message when loading modules so
3407 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3408 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3409 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3412 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3413 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3414 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3416 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3417 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3419 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3420 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3421 turn them on for you.
3422 - added tests for this

3450 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3451 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3452 - This release works in combination with
3453 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3454 release because it uses the a new
3455 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3456 complete Role implementation. It has
3457 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3458 the the previous CPAN version. This
3459 release also lacks good updated docs,
3460 the official release will have updated docs.
3463 - refactored the keyword exports
3464 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3465 accepts more than one Role at a time
3466 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3467 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3470 - refactored the keyword exports
3471 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3472 accepts more than one Role at a time
3474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3475 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3476 string enumerations which can be used as
3478 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3481 - more careful checking of params to new()
3484 - much work done on the role composition
3485 - many new tests for conflict detection
3486 and composition edge cases
3487 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3488 looking at the tests
3490 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3491 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3492 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3494 * Moose::Meta::Class
3495 - some small changes to support the new
3497 - some small additions to support Roles
3499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3500 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3502 - some small changes to support the new
3504 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3505 with the 'handles' option
3506 - added several tests for this
3507 - no docs for this yet

3511 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3512 thanks to chansen for this commit
3513 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3514 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3515 on a per-attribute basis
3516 - added tests for this
3517 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3518 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3519 experimental feature and probably not finished
3520 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3521 more details, or ask about it on #moose
