1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
9 immutable classes). (mo)
11 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
12 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
13 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
15 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
16 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
17 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
18 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
20 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
24 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
26 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
28 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
32 * Fix some indexing issues.
34 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
36 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
40 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
41 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
42 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
43 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
44 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
46 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
47 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
52 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
53 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
54 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
55 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
57 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
58 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
59 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
63 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
64 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
66 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
70 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
71 policy. (Chris Prather)
73 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
74 on this new support policy. (doy)
78 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
79 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
80 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
82 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
83 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
85 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
89 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
90 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
91 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
92 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
99 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
100 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
103 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
107 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
108 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
110 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
111 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
116 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
117 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
118 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
119 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
120 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
122 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
123 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
125 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
126 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
127 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
128 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
130 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
131 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
133 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
138 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
139 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
141 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
145 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
146 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
147 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
149 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
153 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
154 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
155 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
158 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
161 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
162 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
165 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
166 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
167 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
169 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
170 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
175 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
176 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
177 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
178 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
180 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
181 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
183 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
184 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
186 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
187 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
188 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
189 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
191 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
192 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
193 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
196 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
197 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
198 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
199 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
201 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
202 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
205 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
206 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
207 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
209 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
213 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
214 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
215 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
217 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
218 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
219 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
222 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
223 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
224 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
226 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
227 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
228 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
230 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
231 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
235 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
236 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
237 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
239 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
240 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
241 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
242 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
244 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
248 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
249 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
250 value is a reference.
252 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
253 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
255 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
259 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
260 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
261 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
263 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
267 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
268 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
272 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
273 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
274 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
276 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
277 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
278 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
280 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
284 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
286 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
290 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
292 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
293 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
298 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
299 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
301 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
302 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
303 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
304 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
305 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
307 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
308 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
309 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
310 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
312 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
316 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
317 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
322 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
324 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
326 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
331 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
333 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
337 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
338 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
339 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
341 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
342 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
343 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
344 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
346 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
347 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
348 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
349 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
350 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
353 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
358 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
359 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
360 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
361 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
362 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
365 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
369 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
372 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
373 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
377 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
378 function (not just method). (doy)
382 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
383 and aren't easily installable/testable.
385 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
389 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
390 to be overridden more easily (doy).
392 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
396 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
397 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
399 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
403 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
404 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
405 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
407 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
411 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
412 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
413 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
415 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
416 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
420 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
421 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
423 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
424 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
428 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
429 is applied to a class (t0m).
431 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
432 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
434 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
437 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
438 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
440 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
441 be much more robust. (doy)
443 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
445 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
448 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
452 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
453 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
455 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
459 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
460 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
462 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
465 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
466 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
467 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
469 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
470 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
471 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
474 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
476 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
480 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
481 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
485 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
487 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
492 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
496 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
497 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
501 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
503 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
507 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
508 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
512 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
513 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
517 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
518 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
520 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
524 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
525 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
526 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
529 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
533 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
534 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
535 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
536 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
538 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
542 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
543 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
544 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
548 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
551 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
556 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
557 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
561 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
562 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
564 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
565 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
566 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
567 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
569 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
573 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
577 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
578 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
580 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
581 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
582 - Moose::Util::does_role
583 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
584 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
585 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
587 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
591 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
592 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
593 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
596 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
600 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
601 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
604 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
608 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
609 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
612 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
616 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
618 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
619 class. (Dave Rolsky).
621 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
622 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
623 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
625 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
626 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
627 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
630 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
631 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
633 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
634 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
635 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
637 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
639 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
640 substr et al, again. (sorear)
642 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
644 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
647 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
648 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
650 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
651 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
653 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
654 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
655 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
656 dependencies installed.
658 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
659 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
662 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
664 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
668 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
671 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
672 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
675 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
676 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
678 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
679 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
682 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
683 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
684 others. (nothingmuch)
686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
687 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
688 remove_accessors. (doy)
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
691 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
692 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
695 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
697 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
699 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
700 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
703 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
704 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
707 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
709 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
711 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
712 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
716 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
717 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
718 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
719 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
721 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
722 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
724 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
725 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
726 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
727 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
730 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
731 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
732 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
733 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
734 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
736 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
737 which were not receiving the value of
738 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
739 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
740 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
741 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
745 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
746 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
747 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
748 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
749 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
753 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
754 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
755 - added tests for this (Stevan)
758 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
759 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
760 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
763 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
765 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
768 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
769 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
772 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
773 class if you pass it options for
774 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
775 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
776 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
777 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
778 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
779 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
780 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
781 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
782 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
784 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
785 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
786 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
787 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
788 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
791 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
793 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
794 existing delegation API. (hdp)
796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
797 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
798 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
799 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
800 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
801 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
804 * Moose::Error::Croak
805 * Moose::Error::Confess
806 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
807 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
810 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
813 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
814 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
815 installing a broken sub. (doy)
818 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
821 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
822 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
823 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
825 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
826 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
827 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
828 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
829 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
832 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
835 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
837 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
838 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
841 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
842 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
846 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
847 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
850 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
851 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
852 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
853 using it for new code!
855 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
856 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
857 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
858 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
860 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
861 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
862 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
863 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
864 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
865 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
866 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
867 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
870 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
873 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
874 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
878 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
881 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
882 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
885 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
886 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
887 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
890 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
891 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
894 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
895 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
898 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
900 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
901 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
902 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
903 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
905 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
907 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
911 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
912 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
914 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
915 associated_methods. (hdp)
916 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
917 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
918 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
919 misspelled) arguments
921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
922 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
923 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
924 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
927 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
928 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
930 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
934 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
935 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
938 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
939 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
941 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
943 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
944 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
946 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
947 * Moose::Manual::Types
948 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
949 string parsing rathole (mst)
951 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
952 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
953 using plain objects instead
955 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
956 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
959 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
961 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
962 three times today (perigrin)
963 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
964 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
966 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
967 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
968 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
969 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
972 - A role's required methods are now represented by
973 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
974 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
975 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
976 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
977 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
980 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
981 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
982 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
983 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
986 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
988 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
991 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
993 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
996 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
997 during global destruction. This method has been made more
998 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1002 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1003 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1006 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1007 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1009 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1010 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1011 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1013 * Moose::Unsweetened
1014 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1016 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1017 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1020 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1024 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1025 methods during global destruction (doy)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Class
1028 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1029 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1030 consumption (Sartak)
1032 * Moose::Meta::Class
1033 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1034 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1037 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1038 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1041 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1042 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1044 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1046 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1050 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1051 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1052 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1055 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1056 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1057 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1060 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1062 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1063 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1064 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1068 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1069 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1070 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1073 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1074 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1077 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1080 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1081 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1082 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1086 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1087 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1089 * Moose::Meta::Class
1090 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1092 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1094 * Moose::Meta::Class
1095 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1096 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1099 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1100 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1103 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1104 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1107 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1110 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1113 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1116 * Moose::Meta::Class
1117 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1120 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1123 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1124 * More deprecations and renamings
1125 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1126 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1127 when an object is constructed)
1130 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1131 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1132 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1135 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1136 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1137 feature, and it works again.
1140 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1142 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1144 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1145 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1146 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1148 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1149 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1150 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1151 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1152 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1154 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1155 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1156 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1157 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1158 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1161 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1162 metaclass object. (hdp)
1164 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1165 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1167 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1168 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1169 point out this fact. (hdp)
1171 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1172 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1174 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1175 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1177 * Moose::Meta::Class
1178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1179 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1180 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1181 called during instance construction were passed the
1182 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1183 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1185 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1186 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1189 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1190 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1191 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1194 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1195 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1196 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1197 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1198 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1200 - Moose::Meta::Class
1201 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1203 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1204 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1205 when an object is constructed)
1206 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1208 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1209 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1210 when an object is constructed)
1211 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1212 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1213 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1216 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1218 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1219 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1221 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1223 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1224 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1225 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1228 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1229 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1231 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1233 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1234 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1237 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1240 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1241 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1244 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1245 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1246 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1253 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1254 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1255 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1258 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1261 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1262 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1263 with recommended workarounds.
1265 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1266 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1269 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1270 (yes, spelled like that).
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1273 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1275 * Moose::Meta::Class
1276 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1277 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1279 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1282 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1283 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1284 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1285 instead. Reported by doy.
1287 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1289 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1290 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1293 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1294 message) is now deprecated.
1295 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1296 often got it wrong. For example:
1298 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1300 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1304 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1305 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1306 bite you in weird cases.
1308 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1309 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1310 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1311 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1314 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1318 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1321 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1322 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1325 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1326 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1329 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1332 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1334 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1335 - added tests for this (stevan)
1337 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1338 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1339 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1340 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1344 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1345 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1346 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1347 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1349 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1350 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1351 - added tests for this (rafl)
1353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1354 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1355 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1356 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1360 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1361 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1364 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1365 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1366 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1368 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1370 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1371 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1373 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1374 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1375 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1376 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1377 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1380 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1381 error message did not specify the attribute name
1384 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1386 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1388 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1389 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1390 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1393 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1396 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1398 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1399 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1400 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1401 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1403 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1405 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1406 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1407 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1408 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1411 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1412 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1415 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1416 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1417 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1418 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1421 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1422 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1423 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1424 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1427 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1428 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1429 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1430 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1431 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1433 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1434 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1435 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1436 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1437 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1438 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1440 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1441 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1443 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1444 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1445 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1446 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1449 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1452 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1456 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1457 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1460 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1461 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1462 guts. (nothingmuch).
1464 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1466 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1469 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1470 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1471 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1473 * Moose::Meta::Class
1474 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1477 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1478 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1480 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1481 * Moose::Unsweetened
1482 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1485 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1486 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1487 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1488 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1489 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1490 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1492 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1493 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1494 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1495 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1496 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1497 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1498 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1500 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1501 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1503 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1505 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1506 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1509 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1510 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1511 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1513 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1514 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1515 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1516 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1517 same methods for a single role did not work
1518 right (worked just fine with multiple
1520 - added test for this (stevan)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1523 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1524 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1527 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1528 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1529 - added test for this (t0m)
1532 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1533 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1534 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1537 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1538 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1539 - added test for this (t0m)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1542 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1543 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1544 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1545 - added test for this (perigrin)
1548 - create method for constructing a role
1549 dynamically (Sartak)
1550 - added test for this (Sartak)
1551 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1552 - added test for this (Sartak)
1555 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1558 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1559 methods is useful (Sartak)
1561 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1563 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1566 * Moose::Meta::Class
1567 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1568 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1569 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1570 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1571 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1572 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1575 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1576 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1579 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1580 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1581 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1582 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1584 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1586 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1587 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1588 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1591 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1592 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1593 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1594 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1595 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1596 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1600 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1601 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1602 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1603 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1604 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1605 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1606 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1607 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1608 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1609 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1611 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1612 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1616 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1617 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1618 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1619 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1621 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1623 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1624 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1625 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1627 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1628 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1631 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1632 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1633 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1637 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1639 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1641 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1642 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1644 * Moose::Meta::Class
1645 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1646 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1647 a required attribute
1649 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1650 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1651 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1652 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1655 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1658 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1659 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1660 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1661 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1662 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1663 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1664 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1667 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1668 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1670 * Roles and role application
1671 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1672 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1673 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1674 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1675 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1677 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1678 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1681 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1682 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1683 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1684 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1685 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1688 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1689 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1690 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1691 changes in the Moose internals.
1693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1695 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1699 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1700 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1701 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1704 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1705 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1706 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1709 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1710 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1711 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1712 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1713 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1714 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1715 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1716 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1717 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1718 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1719 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1720 constraint implementations.
1722 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1726 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1727 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1728 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1729 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1730 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1731 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1732 - added tests for this (rafl)
1734 * Moose::Meta::Class
1735 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1736 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1737 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1738 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1739 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1740 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1741 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1745 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1746 - added tests for this (thepler)
1748 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1749 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1750 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1751 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1754 * Moose::Meta::Class
1755 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1756 * Moose::Meta::Method
1759 * Moose::Error::Default
1760 * Moose::Error::Croak
1761 * Moose::Error::Confess
1762 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1763 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1764 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1765 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1766 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1767 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1769 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1771 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1772 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1774 * Moose::Unsweetened
1775 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1776 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1777 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1780 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1781 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1782 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1783 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1786 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1787 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1789 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1790 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1791 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1792 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1795 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1797 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1798 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1800 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1803 - Various bug fixes.
1805 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1806 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1808 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1810 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1811 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1813 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1814 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1815 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1817 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1818 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1819 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1821 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1822 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1823 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1826 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1827 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1828 dependency to 0.64_07.
1830 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1831 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1832 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1834 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1835 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1838 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1839 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1840 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1841 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1842 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1843 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1846 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1848 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1850 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1851 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1855 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1856 method when that method was provided by another role being
1857 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1860 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1862 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1863 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1865 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1866 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1867 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1868 - added test for this (t0m)
1870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1871 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1872 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1874 - added test for this (t0m)
1877 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1878 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1879 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1883 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1885 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1887 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1888 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1890 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1891 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1892 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1894 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1895 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1899 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1900 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1901 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1905 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1906 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1907 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1910 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1911 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1912 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1913 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1916 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1920 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1921 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1922 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1924 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1926 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1927 created so that the process can be more easily
1928 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1931 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1932 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1933 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1935 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1936 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1939 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1940 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1942 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1943 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1944 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1946 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1947 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1948 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1950 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1951 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1953 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1954 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1957 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1958 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1962 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1963 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1965 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1966 ... this is not my day today ...
1968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1969 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1970 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1971 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1972 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1975 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1976 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1977 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1978 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1979 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1982 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1984 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1985 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1986 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1987 this is not ever something you want to do
1988 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1989 - added tests for this (stevan)
1992 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1994 - added test for this
1996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1997 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1998 - added tests for this (wreis)
2000 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2001 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2002 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2003 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2005 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2006 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2007 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2010 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2012 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2014 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2017 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2018 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2019 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2020 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2021 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2022 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2023 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2024 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2025 - added tests for this
2027 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2028 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2029 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2030 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2032 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2034 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2035 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2036 - added tests for this (sartak)
2037 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2038 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2041 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()

2362 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2364 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2723 And work with the type unions as well:
2724 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2726 * Better Framework Extendability
2727 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2728 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2729 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2730 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2733 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2734 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2735 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2736 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2739 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2741 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2742 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2745 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2890 the other side (perigrin)
2892 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2894 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2895 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2896 prototypes for functions
2897 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2898 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2908 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2911 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2912 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2913 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2914 - added tests for this
2916 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2918 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2939 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2940 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2942 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2943 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2944 so this release is just to fix that.
2947 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2948 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2949 (thanks to konobi for this)

2961 functions to facilitate introspection.
2963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2964 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2965 to build the list of delegated methods
2966 correctly (and not override important
2967 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2969 - added tests and docs for this
2970 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2971 so that you can actually document your
2972 attributes and inspect them through the
2974 - added tests and docs for this
2976 * Moose::Meta::Class
2977 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2978 it will first look in for the class in the
2979 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2980 then default to just loading $name.
2981 - added tests and docs for this
2983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2984 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2985 - added test for this
2988 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2989 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2990 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2991 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2993 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2994 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2997 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2999 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3000 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3001 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3004 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3005 !! for this developer release to work !!
3007 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3008 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3009 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3010 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3011 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3012 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3013 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3014 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3015 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3016 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3017 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3019 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3020 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3021 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3022 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3025 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3027 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3028 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3029 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3031 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3033 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3034 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3037 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3038 called unless they actually need to be.
3039 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3040 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3041 DEMOLISH method present.
3043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3044 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3045 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3046 type constraint, which allows for a
3047 hand optimized version of the type
3048 constraint to be used when possible.
3049 - Any internally created type constraints
3050 now provide an optimized version as well.
3052 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3054 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3055 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3056 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3059 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3060 your class namespace of these exported
3063 * Moose::Meta::Class
3064 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3065 comes up during global destruction
3067 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3071 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3075 - changed how we do type checks so that
3076 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3079 - moved accessor generation methods to
3080 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3081 conform to the API changes from
3084 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3085 - changed how constraints are compiled
3086 so that we do less recursion and more
3087 iteration. This makes the type check
3089 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3092 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3093 - created this from methods formerly found in
3094 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3096 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3097 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3099 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3100 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3102 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3103 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3105 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3108 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3109 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3110 - added tests for this
3111 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3112 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3113 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3114 - removed tests for this
3116 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3118 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3119 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3120 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3123 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3124 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3125 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3127 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3128 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3129 comments for more info.
3132 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3133 asked questions and common problems
3135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3136 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3137 - added tests for this
3139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3140 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3141 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3142 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3144 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3145 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3148 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3149 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3150 is much appreciated :)
3151 - added tests for this
3153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3154 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3155 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3159 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3161 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3163 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3164 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3168 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3169 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3170 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3172 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3174 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3177 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3178 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3179 keywords because we need to localize them.
3180 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3182 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3183 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3184 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3187 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3190 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3191 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3192 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3195 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3196 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3197 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3199 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3201 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3202 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3203 bottom of your class file.
3206 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3209 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3211 - improved error message when loading modules so
3212 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3213 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3214 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3217 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3218 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3219 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3221 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3222 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3224 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3225 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3226 turn them on for you.
3227 - added tests for this
3228 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3229 in Moose::Meta::Class

3256 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3257 - This release works in combination with
3258 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3259 release because it uses the a new
3260 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3261 complete Role implementation. It has
3262 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3263 the the previous CPAN version. This
3264 release also lacks good updated docs,
3265 the official release will have updated docs.
3268 - refactored the keyword exports
3269 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3270 accepts more than one Role at a time

3276 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3277 accepts more than one Role at a time
3279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3281 string enumerations which can be used as
3283 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3286 - more careful checking of params to new()
3289 - much work done on the role composition
3290 - many new tests for conflict detection
3291 and composition edge cases
3292 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3293 looking at the tests
3295 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3296 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3297 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3316 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3317 thanks to chansen for this commit
3318 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3319 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3320 on a per-attribute basis
3321 - added tests for this
3322 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3323 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3324 experimental feature and probably not finished

3326 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3327 - added tests for this
3330 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3389 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3391 - added test for this
3394 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
