1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
10 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
12 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
16 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
19 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
20 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
21 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
23 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
26 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
30 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
32 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
36 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
38 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
42 * Include changes from 2.0010.
44 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
48 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
49 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
53 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
54 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
55 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
60 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
62 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
66 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
67 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
69 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
73 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
75 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
79 * Various packaging issues.
81 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
85 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
86 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
91 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
92 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
93 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
97 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
98 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
99 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
101 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
105 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
106 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
108 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
112 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
113 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
115 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
118 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
119 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
123 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
124 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
126 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
130 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
131 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
135 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
137 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
141 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
143 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
147 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
148 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
150 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
154 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
156 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
160 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
162 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
163 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
165 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
169 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
170 skips every other role. (rjbs)
172 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
173 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
174 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
175 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
176 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
178 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
182 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
183 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
184 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
187 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
192 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
194 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
195 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
197 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
201 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
202 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
203 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
207 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
208 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
210 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
211 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
213 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
214 environments. (doy, mateu)
216 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
220 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
221 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
222 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
223 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
227 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
228 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
230 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
234 * Update conflicts list.
237 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
241 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
242 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
243 details. (Dave Rolsky)
245 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
246 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
247 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
248 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
249 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
253 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
254 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
255 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
256 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
257 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
260 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
264 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
265 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
267 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
270 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
274 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
275 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
276 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
277 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
279 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
280 immutable classes). (mo)
282 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
283 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
284 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
286 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
290 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
292 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
294 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
298 * Fix some indexing issues.
300 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
302 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
306 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
307 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
308 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
309 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
310 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
312 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
313 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
318 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
319 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
320 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
321 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
323 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
324 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
325 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
329 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
330 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
333 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
337 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
338 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
342 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
346 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
347 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
348 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
349 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
352 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
356 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
359 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
363 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
364 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
365 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
368 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
372 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
373 policy. (Chris Prather)
375 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
376 on this new support policy. (doy)
380 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
381 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
382 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
384 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
385 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
387 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
391 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
392 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
393 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
394 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
397 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
401 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
402 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
405 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
409 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
410 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
412 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
413 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
417 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
418 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
419 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
420 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
421 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
422 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
424 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
425 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
427 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
428 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
429 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
430 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
432 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
433 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
440 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
441 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
443 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
447 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
448 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
449 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
451 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
455 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
456 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
457 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
460 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
463 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
464 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
467 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
468 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
469 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
471 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
472 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
477 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
478 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
479 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
480 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
482 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
483 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
485 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
486 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
488 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
489 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
490 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
491 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
493 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
494 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
495 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
498 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
499 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
500 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
501 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
503 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
504 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
507 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
508 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
509 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
511 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
515 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
516 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
517 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
519 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
520 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
521 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
524 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
525 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
526 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
528 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
529 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
530 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
532 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
533 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
537 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
538 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
539 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
541 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
542 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
543 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
544 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
546 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
550 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
551 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
552 value is a reference.
554 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
555 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
557 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
561 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
562 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
563 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
565 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
569 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
570 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
574 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
575 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
576 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
578 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
579 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
580 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
582 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
586 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
588 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
592 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
594 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
595 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
600 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
601 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
603 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
604 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
605 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
606 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
607 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
609 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
610 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
611 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
612 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
614 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
618 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
619 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
624 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
626 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
628 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
633 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
635 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
639 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
640 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
641 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
643 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
644 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
645 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
646 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
648 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
649 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
650 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
651 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
652 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
655 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
660 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
661 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
662 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
663 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
664 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
667 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
671 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
674 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
675 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
679 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
680 function (not just method). (doy)
684 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
685 and aren't easily installable/testable.
687 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
691 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
692 to be overridden more easily (doy).
694 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
698 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
699 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
701 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
705 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
706 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
707 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
709 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
713 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
714 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
715 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
717 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
718 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
722 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
723 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
725 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
726 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
730 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
731 is applied to a class (t0m).
733 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
734 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
736 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
739 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
740 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
742 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
743 be much more robust. (doy)
745 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
747 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
750 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
754 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
755 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
757 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
761 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
762 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
764 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
767 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
768 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
769 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
771 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
772 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
773 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
776 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
778 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
782 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
783 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
787 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
789 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
794 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
798 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.

803 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
805 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
809 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
810 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
814 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
815 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
819 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
820 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
822 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
826 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
827 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
828 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
831 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
835 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
836 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
837 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
838 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
840 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
844 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
845 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
846 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
850 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
853 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
858 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
859 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
863 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
864 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
866 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
867 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
868 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
869 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
871 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
875 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
879 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
880 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
882 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
883 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
884 - Moose::Util::does_role
885 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
886 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
887 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
889 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
893 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
894 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
895 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
898 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
902 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
903 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
906 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
910 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
911 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
914 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
918 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
920 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
921 class. (Dave Rolsky).
923 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
924 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
925 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
927 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
928 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
929 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
932 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
933 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
935 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
936 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
937 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
939 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
941 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
942 substr et al, again. (sorear)
944 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
946 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
949 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
950 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
952 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
953 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
955 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
956 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
957 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
958 dependencies installed.
960 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
961 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
964 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
966 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
970 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
972 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
973 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
974 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
977 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
978 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
980 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
981 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
984 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
985 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
986 others. (nothingmuch)
988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
989 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
990 remove_accessors. (doy)
992 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
993 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
994 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
997 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
999 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1001 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1002 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1004 * Moose::Meta::Class
1005 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1006 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1009 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1011 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1013 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1014 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1017 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1018 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1019 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1020 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1021 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1023 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1026 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1027 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1028 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1029 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1033 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1034 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1035 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1036 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1038 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1039 which were not receiving the value of
1040 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1041 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1042 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1043 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1047 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1048 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1049 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1050 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1051 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1055 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1056 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1057 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1059 * Moose::Meta::Class
1060 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1061 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1062 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1065 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1067 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1070 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1071 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1074 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1075 class if you pass it options for
1076 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1077 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1078 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1079 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1080 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1081 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1082 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1084 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1087 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1088 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1089 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1090 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1093 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1095 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1096 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1099 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1100 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1101 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1102 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1103 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1106 * Moose::Error::Croak
1107 * Moose::Error::Confess
1108 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1109 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1112 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1115 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1116 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1117 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Class
1120 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1123 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1124 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1125 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1127 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1128 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1129 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1130 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1131 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1134 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1137 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1139 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1140 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1143 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1144 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1148 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1149 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1152 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1153 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1154 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1155 using it for new code!
1157 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1158 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1159 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1160 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1162 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1163 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1164 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1165 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1166 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1167 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1168 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1169 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1172 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1175 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1176 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1180 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1183 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1184 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1186 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1188 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1189 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1191 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1192 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1193 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1195 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1196 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1197 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1200 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1202 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1203 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1204 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1205 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1207 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1209 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1213 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1214 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1216 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1217 associated_methods. (hdp)
1218 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1219 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1220 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1221 misspelled) arguments
1223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1224 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1225 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1226 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1229 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1230 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1232 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1236 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1237 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1240 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1241 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1243 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1244 * Moose::Meta::Class
1245 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1246 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1248 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1249 * Moose::Manual::Types
1250 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1251 string parsing rathole (mst)
1253 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1254 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1255 using plain objects instead
1257 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1258 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1259 that's what we need.
1261 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1262 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1263 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1264 three times today (perigrin)
1265 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1266 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1269 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1270 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1271 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1274 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1275 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1276 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1277 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1278 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1279 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1282 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1283 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1284 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1285 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1288 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1290 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1293 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1295 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1298 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1299 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1300 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1304 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1305 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1308 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1309 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1311 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1313 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1315 * Moose::Unsweetened
1316 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1318 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1319 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1322 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1326 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1327 methods during global destruction (doy)
1329 * Moose::Meta::Class
1330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1331 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1332 consumption (Sartak)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Class
1335 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1336 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1339 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1340 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1343 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1344 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1346 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1348 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1352 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1353 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1354 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1358 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1359 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1362 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1364 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1366 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1369 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1370 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1371 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1372 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1374 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1375 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1376 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1379 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1382 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1383 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1384 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1388 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1389 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1391 * Moose::Meta::Class
1392 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1394 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1396 * Moose::Meta::Class
1397 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1398 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1401 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1402 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1405 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1406 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1409 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1412 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1415 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1418 * Moose::Meta::Class
1419 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1421 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1422 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1425 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1426 * More deprecations and renamings
1427 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1428 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1429 when an object is constructed)
1432 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1433 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1434 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1437 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1438 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1439 feature, and it works again.
1442 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1444 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1446 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1447 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1448 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1451 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1452 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1453 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1454 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1456 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1457 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1458 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1459 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1460 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1463 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1464 metaclass object. (hdp)
1466 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1467 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1468 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1469 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1470 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1471 point out this fact. (hdp)
1473 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1474 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1476 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1477 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1479 * Moose::Meta::Class
1480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1481 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1482 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1483 called during instance construction were passed the
1484 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1485 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1487 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1488 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1491 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1492 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1493 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1496 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1497 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1498 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1499 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1500 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1502 - Moose::Meta::Class
1503 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1505 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1506 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1507 when an object is constructed)
1508 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1510 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1511 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1512 when an object is constructed)
1513 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1514 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1515 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1518 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1520 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1521 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1523 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1525 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1526 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1527 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1529 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1530 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1531 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1533 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1535 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1536 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1538 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1539 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1542 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1543 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1546 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1547 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1548 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1550 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1551 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1555 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1556 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1557 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1560 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1563 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1564 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1565 with recommended workarounds.
1567 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1568 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1571 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1572 (yes, spelled like that).
1574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1575 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1577 * Moose::Meta::Class
1578 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1579 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1581 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1584 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1585 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1586 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1587 instead. Reported by doy.
1589 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1591 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1592 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1594 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1595 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1596 message) is now deprecated.
1597 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1598 often got it wrong. For example:
1600 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1602 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1606 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1607 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1608 bite you in weird cases.
1610 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1612 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1613 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1615 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1616 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1620 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1623 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1624 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1628 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1631 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1634 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1636 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1637 - added tests for this (stevan)
1639 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1640 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1641 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1642 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1646 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1647 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1648 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1649 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1651 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1652 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1653 - added tests for this (rafl)
1655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1656 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1657 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1658 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1662 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1663 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1667 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1668 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1672 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1673 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1675 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1676 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1677 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1678 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1679 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1682 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1683 error message did not specify the attribute name
1686 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1688 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1690 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1691 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1692 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1694 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1695 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1698 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1700 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1701 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1702 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1703 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1705 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1707 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1708 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1709 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1710 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1712 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1713 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1714 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1717 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1718 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1719 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1720 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1723 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1724 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1725 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1726 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1729 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1730 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1731 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1732 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1733 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1735 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1736 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1737 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1738 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1739 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1740 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1743 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1745 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1746 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1747 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1748 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1751 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1754 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1758 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1759 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1761 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1762 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1763 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1764 guts. (nothingmuch).
1766 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1768 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1771 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1772 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1773 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1775 * Moose::Meta::Class
1776 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1779 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1780 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1783 * Moose::Unsweetened
1784 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1787 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1788 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1789 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1790 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1791 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1792 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1795 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1796 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1797 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1798 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1799 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1800 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1802 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1803 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1807 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1808 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1811 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1812 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1813 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1816 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1817 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1818 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1819 same methods for a single role did not work
1820 right (worked just fine with multiple
1822 - added test for this (stevan)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1825 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1826 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1829 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1830 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1831 - added test for this (t0m)
1834 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1835 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1836 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1839 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1840 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1841 - added test for this (t0m)
1843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1844 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1845 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1846 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1847 - added test for this (perigrin)
1850 - create method for constructing a role
1851 dynamically (Sartak)
1852 - added test for this (Sartak)
1853 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1854 - added test for this (Sartak)
1857 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1859 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1860 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1861 methods is useful (Sartak)
1863 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1865 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1868 * Moose::Meta::Class
1869 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1870 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1871 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1872 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1873 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1874 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1877 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1878 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1882 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1883 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1884 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1886 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1888 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1889 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1890 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1893 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1894 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1895 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1896 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1897 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1898 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1902 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1903 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1904 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1905 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1906 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1907 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1908 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1909 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1910 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1911 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1913 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1914 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1918 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1919 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1920 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1921 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1923 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1925 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1926 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1927 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1929 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1930 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1933 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1934 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1935 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1939 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1941 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1943 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1944 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1946 * Moose::Meta::Class
1947 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1948 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1949 a required attribute
1951 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1953 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1954 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1956 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1957 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1959 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1960 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1961 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1962 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1963 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1964 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1965 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1966 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1969 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1970 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1972 * Roles and role application
1973 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1974 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1975 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1976 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1977 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1979 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1980 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1983 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1984 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1985 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1986 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1987 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1990 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1991 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1992 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1993 changes in the Moose internals.
1995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1997 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2001 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2002 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2003 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2005 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2006 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2007 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2008 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2011 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2012 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2013 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2014 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2015 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2016 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2017 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2018 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2019 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2020 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2021 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2022 constraint implementations.
2024 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2028 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2029 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2030 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2031 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2032 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2033 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2034 - added tests for this (rafl)
2036 * Moose::Meta::Class
2037 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2038 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2039 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2040 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2041 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2042 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2043 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2044 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2047 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2048 - added tests for this (thepler)
2050 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2051 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2052 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2053 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2056 * Moose::Meta::Class
2057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2058 * Moose::Meta::Method
2061 * Moose::Error::Default
2062 * Moose::Error::Croak
2063 * Moose::Error::Confess
2064 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2065 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2066 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2067 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2068 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2069 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2071 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2073 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2074 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2076 * Moose::Unsweetened
2077 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2078 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2079 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2082 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2083 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent

2085 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2088 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2089 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2091 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2092 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2093 several major changes in this release of Moose.

2141 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2142 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2143 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2144 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2145 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2148 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

2184 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2185 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2187 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2268 ... this is not my day today ...
2270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2271 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2272 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2273 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2274 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2277 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2278 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2279 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2281 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2284 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2286 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2287 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2319 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2320 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2321 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2322 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2323 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2324 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2325 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2326 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2327 - added tests for this
2329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2330 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2331 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2440 XS based functionality is now optional
2441 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2546 drink more coffee before
2547 doing release engineering

2805 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2806 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2807 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2808 method in the first place ;)
2810 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008

2871 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2873 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2874 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2875 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2914 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2915 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2918 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2919 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2920 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2921 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2938 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2957 - added tests for this
2960 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2961 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3000 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3003 - fixed how required methods are handled
3004 when they encounter overriden or modified
3005 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3006 - added tests for this
3008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3009 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3010 the | always creates a union and so is
3011 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3012 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3014 - added more tests for this
3016 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3019 * Parameterized Types
3020 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3021 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3022 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3023 They can also be nested:
3024 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3025 And work with the type unions as well:
3026 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3028 * Better Framework Extendability
3029 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3030 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3031 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3032 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3035 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3036 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3037 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3038 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3041 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3043 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3044 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3104 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3106 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3196 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3197 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3198 prototypes for functions
3199 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3200 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3215 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3216 - added tests for this
3218 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3220 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3246 so this release is just to fix that.
3249 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3250 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

3263 functions to facilitate introspection.
3265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3266 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3267 to build the list of delegated methods
3268 correctly (and not override important
3269 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3271 - added tests and docs for this
3272 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3273 so that you can actually document your
3274 attributes and inspect them through the
3276 - added tests and docs for this
3278 * Moose::Meta::Class
3279 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3280 it will first look in for the class in the
3281 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3282 then default to just loading $name.
3283 - added tests and docs for this
3285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3286 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3287 - added test for this
3290 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3291 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3292 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3293 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3295 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3296 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3299 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3301 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3302 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3303 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3306 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3307 !! for this developer release to work !!
3309 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3310 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3311 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3312 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3313 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3314 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3315 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3316 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3317 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3318 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3319 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3321 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3322 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3323 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3324 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3327 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3329 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3330 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3331 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3333 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3335 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3336 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3339 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3340 called unless they actually need to be.
3341 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3342 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3343 DEMOLISH method present.
3345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3347 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3348 type constraint, which allows for a
3349 hand optimized version of the type
3350 constraint to be used when possible.
3351 - Any internally created type constraints
3352 now provide an optimized version as well.
3354 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3356 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3357 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3358 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3361 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3362 your class namespace of these exported
3365 * Moose::Meta::Class
3366 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3367 comes up during global destruction
3369 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3373 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3377 - changed how we do type checks so that
3378 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3381 - moved accessor generation methods to
3382 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3383 conform to the API changes from
3386 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3387 - changed how constraints are compiled
3388 so that we do less recursion and more
3389 iteration. This makes the type check
3391 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3395 - created this from methods formerly found in
3396 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3398 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3399 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3402 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3405 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3407 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3410 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3411 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3412 - added tests for this
3413 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3414 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3415 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3416 - removed tests for this
3418 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3420 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3421 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3422 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3425 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3426 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3427 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3429 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3430 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3431 comments for more info.
3434 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3435 asked questions and common problems
3437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3438 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3439 - added tests for this
3441 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3442 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3443 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3444 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3446 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3447 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3450 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3451 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3452 is much appreciated :)
3453 - added tests for this
3455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3456 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3457 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3461 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3463 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3465 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3466 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3470 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3471 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3472 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3474 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3476 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3479 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3480 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3481 keywords because we need to localize them.
3482 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3484 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3485 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3486 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3489 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3493 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3494 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3497 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3498 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3499 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3501 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3503 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3504 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3505 bottom of your class file.
3508 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3511 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3513 - improved error message when loading modules so
3514 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3515 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3516 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3519 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3520 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3521 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3524 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3526 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3527 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3528 turn them on for you.
3529 - added tests for this
3530 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3531 in Moose::Meta::Class
3534 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3535 automatically turned on for you.

3539 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3540 - added tests for this
3541 - added some more edge case tests

3557 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3558 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3559 - This release works in combination with
3560 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3561 release because it uses the a new
3562 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3563 complete Role implementation. It has
3564 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3565 the the previous CPAN version. This
3566 release also lacks good updated docs,
3567 the official release will have updated docs.
3570 - refactored the keyword exports
3571 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3572 accepts more than one Role at a time
3573 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3574 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3577 - refactored the keyword exports
3578 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3579 accepts more than one Role at a time
3581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3582 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3583 string enumerations which can be used as
3585 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3588 - more careful checking of params to new()
3591 - much work done on the role composition
3592 - many new tests for conflict detection
3593 and composition edge cases
3594 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3595 looking at the tests
3597 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3598 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3599 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3601 * Moose::Meta::Class
3602 - some small changes to support the new
3604 - some small additions to support Roles
3606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3607 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3609 - some small changes to support the new
3611 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3612 with the 'handles' option
3613 - added several tests for this
3614 - no docs for this yet
3616 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3618 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3619 thanks to chansen for this commit
3620 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3621 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3622 on a per-attribute basis
3623 - added tests for this
3624 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3625 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3626 experimental feature and probably not finished
3627 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3628 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3629 - added tests for this

3691 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3693 - added test for this
