1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
6 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
8 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
9 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
10 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
11 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
12 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
14 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
15 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
18 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
22 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
23 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
25 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
26 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
27 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if
28 the attribute had one.
30 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
31 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
32 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
35 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
36 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
37 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
38 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
39 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
40 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
41 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
44 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
47 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
48 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
51 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
52 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
54 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
55 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
56 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
59 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
60 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
61 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
64 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
65 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
67 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
68 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
69 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
72 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
73 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
74 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
75 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
76 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
77 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
79 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
81 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
84 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
85 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
86 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
88 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
89 associated_methods. (hdp)
90 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
91 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
92 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
95 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
96 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
97 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
98 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
101 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
102 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
104 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
108 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
109 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
112 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
113 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
115 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
117 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
118 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
120 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
121 * Moose::Manual::Types
122 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
123 string parsing rathole (mst)
125 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
126 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
127 using plain objects instead
129 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
130 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
133 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
135 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
136 three times today (perigrin)
137 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
138 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
140 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
141 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
142 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
143 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
146 - A role's required methods are now represented by
147 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
148 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
149 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
150 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
151 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
154 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
155 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
156 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
157 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
160 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
162 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
165 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
167 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
170 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
171 during global destruction. This method has been made more
172 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
176 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
177 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
180 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
181 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
183 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
184 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
185 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
188 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
190 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
191 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
194 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
198 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
199 methods during global destruction (doy)
202 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
203 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
207 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
208 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
211 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
212 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
215 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
216 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
218 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
220 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
224 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
225 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
226 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
229 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
230 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
231 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
234 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
236 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
238 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
242 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
243 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
244 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
246 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
247 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
248 of the Moose core (Sartak)
251 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
254 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
255 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
256 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
260 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
261 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
264 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
266 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
269 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
270 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
273 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
274 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
277 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
278 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
281 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
284 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
287 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
291 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
294 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
297 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
298 * More deprecations and renamings
299 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
300 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
301 when an object is constructed)
304 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
305 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
306 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
309 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
310 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
311 feature, and it works again.
314 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
316 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
318 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
319 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
320 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
323 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
324 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
325 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
326 message. Test provided by perigrin.
328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
329 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
330 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
331 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
332 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
335 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
336 metaclass object. (hdp)
338 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
339 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
340 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
341 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
342 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
343 point out this fact. (hdp)
345 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
346 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
348 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
349 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
353 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
354 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
355 called during instance construction were passed the
356 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
357 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
359 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
360 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
363 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
364 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
365 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
368 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
369 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
370 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
371 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
372 them, but they are not for "public" use.
375 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
377 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
378 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
379 when an object is constructed)
380 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
382 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
383 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
384 when an object is constructed)
385 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
386 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
387 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
390 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
392 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
393 * No changes from 0.72_01.
395 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
397 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
398 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
399 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
401 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
402 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
403 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
405 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
407 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
408 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
410 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
411 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
414 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
415 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
418 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
419 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
420 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
422 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
423 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
427 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
428 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
429 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
431 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
432 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
435 * Moose::Manual::Delta
436 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
437 with recommended workarounds.
439 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
440 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
443 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
444 (yes, spelled like that).
446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
447 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
450 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
451 changes in latest Class::MOP.
453 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
456 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
457 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
458 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
459 instead. Reported by doy.
461 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
463 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
464 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
467 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
468 message) is now deprecated.
469 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
470 often got it wrong. For example:
472 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
474 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
478 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
479 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
480 bite you in weird cases.
482 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
483 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
484 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
487 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
488 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
492 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
495 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
496 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
499 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
500 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
502 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
503 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
506 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
508 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
509 - added tests for this (stevan)
511 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
512 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
513 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
514 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
518 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
519 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
520 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
521 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
523 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
524 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
525 - added tests for this (rafl)
527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
528 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
529 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
530 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
534 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
535 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
538 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
539 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
540 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
542 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
544 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
545 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
548 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
549 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
550 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
551 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
554 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
555 error message did not specify the attribute name
558 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
560 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
562 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
563 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
564 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
567 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
570 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
572 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
573 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
574 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
575 of fixes and formatting improvements.
577 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
579 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
580 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
581 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
582 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
585 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
586 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
589 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
590 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
591 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
592 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
595 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
596 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
597 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
598 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
601 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
602 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
603 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
604 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
605 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
607 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
608 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
609 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
610 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
611 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
612 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
615 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
617 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
618 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
619 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
620 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
623 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
626 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
630 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
631 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
633 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
634 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
635 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
638 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
640 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
643 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
644 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
645 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
648 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
651 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
652 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
654 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
656 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
659 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
660 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
661 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
662 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
663 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
664 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
666 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
667 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
668 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
669 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
670 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
671 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
672 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
673 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
674 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
675 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
677 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
679 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
680 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
682 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
683 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
684 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
685 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
687 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
688 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
689 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
690 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
691 same methods for a single role did not work
692 right (worked just fine with multiple
694 - added test for this (stevan)
696 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
697 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
698 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
701 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
702 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
703 - added test for this (t0m)
706 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
707 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
708 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
711 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
712 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
713 - added test for this (t0m)
715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
716 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
717 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
718 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
719 - added test for this (perigrin)
722 - create method for constructing a role
724 - added test for this (Sartak)
725 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
726 - added test for this (Sartak)
729 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
731 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
732 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
733 methods is useful (Sartak)
735 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
736 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
737 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
741 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
742 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
743 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
744 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
745 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
746 - added tests for this (jdv79)
749 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
750 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
752 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
753 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
754 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
755 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
756 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
758 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
760 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
761 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
762 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
765 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
766 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
767 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
768 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
769 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
770 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
774 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
775 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
776 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
777 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
778 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
779 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
780 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
781 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
782 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
783 future. (jnapiorkowski)
785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
786 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
789 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
790 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
791 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
792 type. (jnapiorkowski)
793 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
795 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
797 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
798 predicate, and link to more details sections in
799 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
802 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
805 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
806 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
807 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
810 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
811 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
813 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
815 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
816 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
819 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
820 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
823 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
825 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
826 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
829 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
832 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
833 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
834 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
835 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
836 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
837 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
838 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
840 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
841 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
842 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
844 * Roles and role application
845 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
846 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
847 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
848 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
849 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
851 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
852 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
855 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
856 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
857 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
858 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
859 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
862 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
863 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
864 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
865 changes in the Moose internals.
867 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
869 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
872 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
873 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
874 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
875 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
878 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
879 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
880 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
883 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
884 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
885 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
886 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
887 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
888 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
889 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
890 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
891 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
892 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
893 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
894 constraint implementations.
896 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
900 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
901 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
902 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
903 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
904 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
905 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
906 - added tests for this (rafl)
909 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
910 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
911 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
912 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
913 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
914 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
915 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
916 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
919 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
920 - added tests for this (thepler)
922 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
923 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
924 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
925 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
929 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
930 * Moose::Meta::Method
933 * Moose::Error::Default
934 * Moose::Error::Croak
935 * Moose::Error::Confess
936 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
937 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
938 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
939 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
940 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
941 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
943 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
945 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
946 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
949 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
950 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
951 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
954 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
955 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
956 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
957 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
960 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
961 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
963 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
964 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
965 several major changes in this release of Moose.
966 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
969 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
971 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
972 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
974 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
979 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
980 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
982 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
984 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
985 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
986 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
987 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
988 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
989 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
991 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
992 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
993 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
995 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
996 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
997 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1000 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1001 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1002 dependency to 0.64_07.
1004 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1005 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1006 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1009 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1012 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1013 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1014 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1015 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1016 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1017 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1020 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1022 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1024 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1025 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1029 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1030 method when that method was provided by another role being
1031 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1034 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1036 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1037 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1040 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1041 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1042 - added test for this (t0m)
1044 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1045 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1046 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1048 - added test for this (t0m)
1051 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1052 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1053 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1056 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1057 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1059 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1061 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1062 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1064 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1065 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1066 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1069 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1073 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1074 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1075 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1079 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1080 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1081 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1084 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1085 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1086 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1087 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1090 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1094 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1095 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1096 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1098 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1099 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1100 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1101 created so that the process can be more easily
1102 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1105 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1106 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1107 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1110 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1113 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1114 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1116 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1117 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1118 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1121 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1122 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1124 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1125 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1128 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1131 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1132 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1136 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1137 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1139 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1140 ... this is not my day today ...
1142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1143 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1144 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1145 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1146 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1149 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1150 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1151 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1152 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1153 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1156 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1158 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1159 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1160 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1161 this is not ever something you want to do
1162 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1163 - added tests for this (stevan)
1166 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1168 - added test for this
1170 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1171 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1172 - added tests for this (wreis)
1174 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1175 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1176 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1177 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1179 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1180 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1181 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1184 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1186 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1188 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1192 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1193 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1194 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1195 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1196 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1197 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1198 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 - added tests for this
1201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1202 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1203 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1204 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1206 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1209 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1210 - added tests for this (sartak)
1211 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1212 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1215 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1217 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1218 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1221 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1222 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1223 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1225 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1227 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1228 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1231 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1232 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1233 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1236 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1237 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1239 - added docs for this (TODO).
1240 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1241 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1242 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1243 - fix builder and default both being used
1248 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1250 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1251 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1252 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1256 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1260 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1261 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1262 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1265 - move the ClassName type check code to
1266 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1268 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1269 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1271 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1272 (early morning release engineering)--
1274 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1275 which was causing the indexer to choke
1277 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1278 (late night release engineering)--
1280 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1281 changes in this release
1283 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1284 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1285 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1287 * Moose::Meta::Class
1288 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1289 since it is called so often by &meta
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1293 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1294 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1298 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1299 method for immutablization to check if the
1300 destructor object even needs to be created
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1304 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1305 - added more descriptive error message to help
1306 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1307 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1309 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1311 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1312 XS based functionality is now optional
1313 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1314 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1315 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1317 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1318 to take care of this, mostly we added
1319 support for the package_name and name
1320 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1321 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1322 support regexp matching of names
1323 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1324 - tests added for this
1325 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1326 is currently not supported in roles,
1327 but, ... patches welcome
1328 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1329 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1330 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1333 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1334 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1335 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1336 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1337 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1338 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1339 - added test for this
1341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1342 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1343 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1346 * Moose::Meta::Class
1347 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1351 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1353 - added tests for this
1354 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1355 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1358 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1359 themselves parameterizable types
1361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1362 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1363 called by the inlined immutable
1365 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1368 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1369 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1370 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1373 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1377 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1378 causing occasional cpantester failures
1379 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1380 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1382 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1384 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1385 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1388 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1389 ->body when looping through the
1390 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1392 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1393 eating the $@ values, and so not
1394 working correctly, it still kind of
1395 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1396 - added tests for this
1398 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1399 - added new recipe for immutable
1400 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1402 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1418 drink more coffee before
1419 doing release engineering
1421 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1536 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1538 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1539 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1582 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1583 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1888 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1891 * Parameterized Types
1892 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1893 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1894 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1895 They can also be nested:
1896 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1897 And work with the type unions as well:
1898 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1900 * Better Framework Extendability
1901 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1902 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1903 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1904 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1907 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1908 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1909 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1910 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2079 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2080 merlyn for finding this bug
2081 - tests added for this
2082 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2085 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2086 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2087 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2088 - added tests for this
2090 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2092 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2105 where not handled correctly in roles
2106 - added tests for this
2108 * Moose::Meta::Class
2109 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2110 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2111 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2113 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2114 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2116 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2117 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2118 so this release is just to fix that.
2121 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2122 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2123 (thanks to konobi for this)
2124 - added tests and docs
2126 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2129 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2130 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2131 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2132 - added tests for this

2134 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2135 functions to facilitate introspection.
2137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2138 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2139 to build the list of delegated methods
2140 correctly (and not override important
2141 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2143 - added tests and docs for this
2144 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2145 so that you can actually document your
2146 attributes and inspect them through the
2148 - added tests and docs for this
2150 * Moose::Meta::Class
2151 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2152 it will first look in for the class in the
2153 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2154 then default to just loading $name.
2155 - added tests and docs for this
2157 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2158 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2159 - added test for this
2162 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2163 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2164 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2165 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2167 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2168 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2171 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2173 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2174 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2175 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2178 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2179 !! for this developer release to work !!
2181 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2182 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2183 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2184 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2185 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2186 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2187 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2188 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2189 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2190 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2191 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2193 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2194 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2195 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2196 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2199 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2201 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2202 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2203 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2205 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2207 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2208 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2211 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2212 called unless they actually need to be.
2213 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2214 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2215 DEMOLISH method present.
2217 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2219 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2220 type constraint, which allows for a
2221 hand optimized version of the type
2222 constraint to be used when possible.
2223 - Any internally created type constraints
2224 now provide an optimized version as well.
2226 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2228 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2229 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2230 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2233 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2234 your class namespace of these exported
2237 * Moose::Meta::Class
2238 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2239 comes up during global destruction
2241 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2245 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2249 - changed how we do type checks so that
2250 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2253 - moved accessor generation methods to
2254 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2255 conform to the API changes from
2258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2259 - changed how constraints are compiled
2260 so that we do less recursion and more
2261 iteration. This makes the type check
2263 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2267 - created this from methods formerly found in
2268 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2270 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2271 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2274 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2277 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2279 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2282 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2283 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2284 - added tests for this
2285 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2286 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2287 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2288 - removed tests for this
2290 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2292 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2293 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2294 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2297 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2298 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2299 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2301 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2302 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2303 comments for more info.
2306 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2307 asked questions and common problems
2309 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2310 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2311 - added tests for this
2313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2314 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2315 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2316 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2318 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2319 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2322 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2323 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2324 is much appreciated :)
2325 - added tests for this
2327 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2328 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2329 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2332 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2333 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2335 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2337 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2338 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2342 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2343 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2344 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2346 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2348 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2351 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2352 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2353 keywords because we need to localize them.
2354 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2356 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2357 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2358 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2361 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2365 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2366 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2369 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2370 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2371 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2373 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2375 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2376 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2377 bottom of your class file.
2380 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2383 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2385 - improved error message when loading modules so
2386 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2387 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2388 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2391 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2392 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2393 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2395 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2396 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2398 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2399 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2400 turn them on for you.
2401 - added tests for this

2430 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2431 - This release works in combination with
2432 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2433 release because it uses the a new
2434 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2435 complete Role implementation. It has
2436 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2437 the the previous CPAN version. This
2438 release also lacks good updated docs,
2439 the official release will have updated docs.
2442 - refactored the keyword exports
2443 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2444 accepts more than one Role at a time

2455 string enumerations which can be used as
2457 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2460 - more careful checking of params to new()
2463 - much work done on the role composition
2464 - many new tests for conflict detection
2465 and composition edge cases
2466 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2467 looking at the tests
2469 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2470 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2471 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2476 - some small additions to support Roles
2478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2479 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2481 - some small changes to support the new
2483 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2484 with the 'handles' option
2485 - added several tests for this
2486 - no docs for this yet

2490 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2491 thanks to chansen for this commit
2492 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2493 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2494 on a per-attribute basis
2495 - added tests for this
2496 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2497 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
