1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
9 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
10 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
11 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
16 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
17 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
18 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
22 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
23 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
25 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
29 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
30 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
35 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
37 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
41 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
44 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
46 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
50 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
52 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
56 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
59 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
60 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
61 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
63 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
66 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
70 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
72 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
76 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
78 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
82 * Include changes from 2.0010.
84 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
88 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
89 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
93 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
94 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
95 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
100 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
102 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
106 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
107 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
109 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
113 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
115 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
119 * Various packaging issues.
121 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
125 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
126 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
131 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
132 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
133 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
137 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
138 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
139 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
141 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
145 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
146 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
148 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
152 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
153 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
155 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
158 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
159 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
163 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
164 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
166 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
170 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
171 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
175 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
177 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
181 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
183 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
187 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
188 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
190 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
194 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
196 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
200 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
202 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
203 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
205 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
209 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
210 skips every other role. (rjbs)
212 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
213 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
214 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
215 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
216 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
218 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
222 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
223 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
224 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
227 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
232 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
234 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
235 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
237 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
241 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
242 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
243 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
247 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
248 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
250 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
251 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
253 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
254 environments. (doy, mateu)
256 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
260 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
261 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
262 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
263 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
267 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
268 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
270 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
274 * Update conflicts list.
277 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
281 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
282 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
283 details. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
286 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
287 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
288 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
289 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
293 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
294 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
295 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
296 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
297 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
300 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
304 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
305 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
307 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
310 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
314 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
315 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
316 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
317 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
319 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
320 immutable classes). (mo)
322 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
323 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
324 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
326 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
330 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
332 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
334 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
338 * Fix some indexing issues.
340 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
342 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
346 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
347 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
348 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
349 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
350 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
352 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
353 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
358 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
359 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
360 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
361 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
363 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
364 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
365 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
369 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
370 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
373 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
377 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
378 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
382 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
386 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
387 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
388 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
389 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
392 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
396 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
399 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
403 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
404 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
405 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
408 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
412 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
413 policy. (Chris Prather)
415 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
416 on this new support policy. (doy)
420 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
421 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
422 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
424 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
425 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
427 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
431 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
432 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
433 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
434 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
437 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
441 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
442 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
445 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
449 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
450 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
452 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
453 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
457 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
458 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
459 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
460 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
461 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
462 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
464 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
465 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
467 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
468 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
469 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
470 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
472 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
473 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
475 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
480 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
481 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
483 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
487 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
488 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
489 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
491 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
495 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
496 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
497 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
500 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
503 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
504 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
507 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
508 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
509 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
511 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
512 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
517 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
518 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
519 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
520 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
522 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
523 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
525 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
526 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
528 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
529 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
530 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
531 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
533 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
534 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
535 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
538 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
539 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
540 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
541 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
543 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
544 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
547 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
548 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
549 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
551 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
555 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
556 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
557 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
559 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
560 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
561 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
564 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
565 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
566 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
568 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
569 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
570 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
572 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
573 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
577 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
578 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
579 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
581 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
582 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
583 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
584 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
586 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
590 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
591 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
592 value is a reference.
594 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
595 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
597 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
601 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
602 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
603 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
605 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
609 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
610 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
615 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
616 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
618 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
619 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
620 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
622 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
626 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
628 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
632 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
634 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
635 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
640 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
641 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
643 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
644 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
645 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
646 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
647 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
649 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
650 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
651 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
652 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
654 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
658 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
659 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
664 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
666 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
668 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
673 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
675 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
679 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
680 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
681 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
683 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
684 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
685 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
686 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
688 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
689 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
690 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
691 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
692 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
695 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
700 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
701 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
702 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
703 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
704 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
707 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
711 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
714 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
715 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
719 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
720 function (not just method). (doy)
724 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
725 and aren't easily installable/testable.
727 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
731 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
732 to be overridden more easily (doy).
734 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
738 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
739 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
741 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
745 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
746 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
747 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
749 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
753 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
754 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
755 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
757 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
758 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
762 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
763 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
765 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
766 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
770 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
771 is applied to a class (t0m).
773 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
774 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
776 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
779 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
780 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
782 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
783 be much more robust. (doy)
785 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
787 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
790 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
794 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
795 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
797 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
801 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
802 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
804 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
807 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
808 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
809 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
811 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
812 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
813 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
816 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
818 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
822 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
823 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
827 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
829 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
834 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
838 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
839 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
843 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
845 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
849 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
850 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
854 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
855 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
859 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
860 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
862 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
866 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
867 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
868 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
871 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
875 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
876 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
877 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
878 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
880 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
884 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
885 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
886 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
890 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
893 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
898 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
899 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
903 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
904 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
906 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
907 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
908 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
909 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
911 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
915 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
919 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
920 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
922 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
923 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
924 - Moose::Util::does_role
925 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
926 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
927 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
929 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
933 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
934 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
935 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
938 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
942 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
943 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
946 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
950 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
951 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
954 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
958 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
960 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
961 class. (Dave Rolsky).
963 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
964 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
965 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
967 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
968 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
969 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
972 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
973 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
975 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
976 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
977 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
979 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
981 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
982 substr et al, again. (sorear)
984 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
986 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
989 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
990 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
992 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
993 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
995 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
996 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
997 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
998 dependencies installed.
1000 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1001 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1004 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1006 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1010 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1013 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1014 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1016 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1017 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1018 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1020 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1021 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1024 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1025 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1026 others. (nothingmuch)
1028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1029 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1030 remove_accessors. (doy)
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1033 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1034 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1037 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1039 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1041 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1042 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1044 * Moose::Meta::Class
1045 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1046 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1049 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1051 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1053 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1054 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1058 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1059 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1060 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1061 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1063 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1066 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1067 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1068 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1069 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1073 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1074 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1075 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1076 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1078 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1079 which were not receiving the value of
1080 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1081 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1082 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1083 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1087 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1088 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1089 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1090 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1091 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1095 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1096 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1097 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1099 * Moose::Meta::Class
1100 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1101 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1102 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1105 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1107 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1110 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1111 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1114 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1115 class if you pass it options for
1116 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1117 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1118 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1119 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1120 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1121 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1122 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1124 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1127 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1128 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1129 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1130 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1133 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1135 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1136 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1139 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1140 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1141 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1142 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1143 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1146 * Moose::Error::Croak
1147 * Moose::Error::Confess
1148 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1149 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1152 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1155 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1156 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1157 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1159 * Moose::Meta::Class
1160 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1163 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1164 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1165 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1167 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1169 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1170 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1171 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1174 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1177 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1179 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1180 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1183 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1184 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1188 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1189 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1192 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1193 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1194 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1195 using it for new code!
1197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1198 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1199 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1200 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1202 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1203 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1204 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1205 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1206 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1207 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1208 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1209 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1212 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1215 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1216 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1219 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1220 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1223 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1224 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1226 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1228 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1229 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1231 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1232 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1233 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1236 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1237 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1240 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1242 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1243 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1244 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1245 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1247 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1249 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1253 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1254 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1256 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1257 associated_methods. (hdp)
1258 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1259 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1260 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1261 misspelled) arguments
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1265 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1266 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1270 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1272 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1276 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1277 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1280 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1281 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1283 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1284 * Moose::Meta::Class
1285 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1286 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1288 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1289 * Moose::Manual::Types
1290 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1291 string parsing rathole (mst)
1293 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1294 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1295 using plain objects instead
1297 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1298 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1299 that's what we need.
1301 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1302 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1303 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1304 three times today (perigrin)
1305 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1306 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1309 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1310 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1311 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1314 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1315 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1316 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1317 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1318 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1319 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1322 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1323 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1324 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1325 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1328 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1330 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1333 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1335 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1338 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1339 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1340 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1344 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1345 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1348 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1349 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1351 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1352 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1353 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1355 * Moose::Unsweetened
1356 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1359 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1362 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1366 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1367 methods during global destruction (doy)
1369 * Moose::Meta::Class
1370 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1371 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1372 consumption (Sartak)
1374 * Moose::Meta::Class
1375 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1376 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1379 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1380 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1383 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1384 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1386 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1388 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1392 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1393 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1394 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1397 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1398 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1399 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1402 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1404 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1405 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1406 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1410 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1411 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1412 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1414 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1415 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1416 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1419 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1422 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1424 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1428 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1429 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1431 * Moose::Meta::Class
1432 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1434 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1436 * Moose::Meta::Class
1437 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1438 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1441 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1442 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1445 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1446 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1449 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1452 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1455 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1458 * Moose::Meta::Class
1459 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1462 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1465 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1466 * More deprecations and renamings
1467 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1468 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1469 when an object is constructed)
1472 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1473 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1474 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1477 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1478 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1479 feature, and it works again.
1482 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1484 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1486 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1487 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1488 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1491 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1492 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1493 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1494 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1497 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1498 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1499 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1500 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1503 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1504 metaclass object. (hdp)
1506 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1507 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1508 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1509 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1510 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1511 point out this fact. (hdp)
1513 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1514 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1517 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1519 * Moose::Meta::Class
1520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1521 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1522 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1523 called during instance construction were passed the
1524 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1525 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1527 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1528 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1531 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1532 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1533 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1536 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1537 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1538 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1539 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1540 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1542 - Moose::Meta::Class
1543 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1545 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1546 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1547 when an object is constructed)
1548 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1550 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1551 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1552 when an object is constructed)
1553 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1554 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1555 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1558 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1560 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1561 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1563 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1565 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1566 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1567 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1570 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1571 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1573 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1575 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1576 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1579 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1583 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1586 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1587 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1588 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1591 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1595 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1596 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1597 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1600 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1603 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1604 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1605 with recommended workarounds.
1607 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1608 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1611 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1612 (yes, spelled like that).
1614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1615 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1617 * Moose::Meta::Class
1618 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1619 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1621 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1624 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1625 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1626 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1627 instead. Reported by doy.
1629 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1631 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1632 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1635 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1636 message) is now deprecated.
1637 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1638 often got it wrong. For example:
1640 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1642 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1646 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1647 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1648 bite you in weird cases.
1650 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1651 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1652 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1653 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1656 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1660 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1663 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1664 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1668 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1671 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1674 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1676 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1677 - added tests for this (stevan)
1679 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1680 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1681 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1682 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1686 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1687 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1688 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1689 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1691 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1692 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1693 - added tests for this (rafl)
1695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1696 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1697 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1698 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1702 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1703 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1706 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1707 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1708 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1712 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1713 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1715 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1716 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1717 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1718 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1719 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1722 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1723 error message did not specify the attribute name
1726 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1728 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1730 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1731 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1732 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1734 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1735 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1738 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1740 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1741 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1742 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1743 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1745 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1747 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1748 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1749 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1750 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1753 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1754 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1757 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1758 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1759 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1760 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1763 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1764 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1765 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1766 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1769 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1770 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1771 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1772 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1773 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1775 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1776 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1777 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1778 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1779 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1780 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1783 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1785 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1786 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1787 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1788 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1791 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1794 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1798 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1799 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1801 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1802 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1803 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1804 guts. (nothingmuch).
1806 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1807 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1808 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1810 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1811 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1812 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1813 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1815 * Moose::Meta::Class
1816 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1819 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1820 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1823 * Moose::Unsweetened
1824 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1827 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1828 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1829 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1830 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1831 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1832 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1835 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1836 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1837 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1838 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1839 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1840 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1842 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1843 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1847 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1848 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1851 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1852 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1853 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1855 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1856 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1857 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1858 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1859 same methods for a single role did not work
1860 right (worked just fine with multiple
1862 - added test for this (stevan)
1864 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1865 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1866 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1869 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1870 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1871 - added test for this (t0m)
1874 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1875 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1876 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1879 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1880 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1881 - added test for this (t0m)
1883 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1884 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1885 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1886 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1887 - added test for this (perigrin)
1890 - create method for constructing a role
1891 dynamically (Sartak)
1892 - added test for this (Sartak)
1893 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1894 - added test for this (Sartak)
1897 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1899 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1900 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1901 methods is useful (Sartak)
1903 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1904 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1905 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1908 * Moose::Meta::Class
1909 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1910 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1911 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1912 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1913 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1914 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1917 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1918 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1921 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1922 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1923 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1924 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1928 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1929 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1933 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1934 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1935 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1936 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1937 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1938 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1942 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1943 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1944 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1945 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1946 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1947 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1948 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1949 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1950 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1951 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1954 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1957 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1958 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1959 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1960 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1961 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1963 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1965 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1966 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1967 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1970 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1973 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1974 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1975 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1978 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1979 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1981 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1983 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1984 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1986 * Moose::Meta::Class
1987 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1988 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1989 a required attribute
1991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1993 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1994 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1997 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2000 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2001 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2002 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2003 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2004 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2005 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2006 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2009 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2010 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2012 * Roles and role application
2013 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2014 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2015 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2016 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2017 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2019 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2020 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2023 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2024 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2025 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2026 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2027 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2030 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2031 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2032 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2033 changes in the Moose internals.
2035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2037 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2041 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2042 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2043 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2045 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2046 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2047 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2048 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2051 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2052 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2053 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2054 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2055 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2056 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2057 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2058 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2059 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2060 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2061 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2062 constraint implementations.
2064 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2068 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2069 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2070 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2071 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2072 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2073 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2074 - added tests for this (rafl)
2076 * Moose::Meta::Class
2077 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2078 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2079 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2080 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2081 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2082 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2083 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2084 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2087 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2088 - added tests for this (thepler)
2090 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2091 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2092 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2093 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2096 * Moose::Meta::Class
2097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2098 * Moose::Meta::Method
2101 * Moose::Error::Default
2102 * Moose::Error::Croak
2103 * Moose::Error::Confess
2104 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2105 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2106 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2107 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2108 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2109 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2111 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2113 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2114 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2116 * Moose::Unsweetened
2117 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2118 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2119 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2122 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2123 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2124 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2125 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2128 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2129 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2131 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2132 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2133 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2134 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2160 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2161 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

2173 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2174 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2177 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2180 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2181 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2182 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2183 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2184 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2185 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2188 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2190 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2192 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2193 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

2210 - added test for this (t0m)
2212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2213 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2214 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2216 - added test for this (t0m)
2219 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2220 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2221 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2224 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2225 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2227 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2230 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2232 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2264 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2266 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2268 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2269 created so that the process can be more easily
2270 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2304 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2305 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2307 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2308 ... this is not my day today ...
2310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2311 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2312 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2313 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2314 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2317 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2318 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2319 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2320 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2321 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2324 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2326 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2327 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2331 - added tests for this (stevan)
2334 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2336 - added test for this

2356 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2359 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2360 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2361 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2362 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2363 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2364 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2365 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2366 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2367 - added tests for this
2369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2370 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2371 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2466 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2467 method for immutablization to check if the
2468 destructor object even needs to be created
2471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2472 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2473 - added more descriptive error message to help
2474 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2475 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2477 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2479 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2480 XS based functionality is now optional
2481 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2482 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2483 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2485 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2486 to take care of this, mostly we added
2487 support for the package_name and name

2490 support regexp matching of names
2491 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2493 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2494 is currently not supported in roles,
2495 but, ... patches welcome

2497 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2498 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2503 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2504 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

2557 ->body when looping through the
2558 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2560 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2561 eating the $@ values, and so not
2562 working correctly, it still kind of
2563 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2564 - added tests for this
2566 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2567 - added new recipe for immutable

2586 drink more coffee before
2587 doing release engineering
2589 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2704 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2706 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2707 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2746 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2749 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2750 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2751 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2907 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2911 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2913 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2914 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2915 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2997 - added tests for this
3000 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3001 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3040 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3043 - fixed how required methods are handled
3044 when they encounter overriden or modified
3045 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3046 - added tests for this
3048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3049 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3050 the | always creates a union and so is
3051 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3052 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3054 - added more tests for this
3056 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3059 * Parameterized Types
3060 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3061 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3062 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3063 They can also be nested:
3064 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3065 And work with the type unions as well:
3066 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3068 * Better Framework Extendability
3069 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3070 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3071 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3072 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3075 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3076 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3077 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3078 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3081 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3083 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3084 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3312 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3313 so that you can actually document your
3314 attributes and inspect them through the

3318 * Moose::Meta::Class
3319 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3320 it will first look in for the class in the
3321 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3322 then default to just loading $name.
3323 - added tests and docs for this
3325 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3326 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3327 - added test for this

3332 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3333 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3335 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3336 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3339 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3341 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3342 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3343 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3346 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3347 !! for this developer release to work !!
3349 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3350 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3351 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3352 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3353 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3354 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3355 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3356 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3357 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3358 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3359 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3361 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3362 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3363 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3364 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3367 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3369 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3370 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3371 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3373 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3375 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3376 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3379 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3380 called unless they actually need to be.
3381 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3382 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3383 DEMOLISH method present.
3385 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3386 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3387 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3388 type constraint, which allows for a
3389 hand optimized version of the type
3390 constraint to be used when possible.
3391 - Any internally created type constraints
3392 now provide an optimized version as well.
3394 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3396 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3397 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3398 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3401 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3402 your class namespace of these exported
3405 * Moose::Meta::Class
3406 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3407 comes up during global destruction
3409 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3413 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3416 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3417 - changed how we do type checks so that
3418 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3421 - moved accessor generation methods to
3422 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3423 conform to the API changes from
3426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3427 - changed how constraints are compiled
3428 so that we do less recursion and more
3429 iteration. This makes the type check
3431 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3435 - created this from methods formerly found in
3436 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3438 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3439 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3442 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3444 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3445 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3447 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3449 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3450 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3451 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3452 - added tests for this
3453 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3454 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3455 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3456 - removed tests for this
3458 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3460 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3461 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3462 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3465 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3466 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3467 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3469 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3470 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3471 comments for more info.
3474 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3475 asked questions and common problems
3477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3478 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3479 - added tests for this
3481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3482 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3483 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3484 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3486 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3487 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3490 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3491 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3492 is much appreciated :)
3493 - added tests for this
3495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3496 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3497 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3501 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3503 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3505 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3506 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3510 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3511 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3512 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3514 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3516 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3519 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3520 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3521 keywords because we need to localize them.
3522 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3524 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3525 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3526 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3529 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3532 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3533 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3534 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3537 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3538 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3539 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3541 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3543 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3544 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3545 bottom of your class file.
3548 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3551 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3553 - improved error message when loading modules so
3554 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3555 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3556 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3559 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3560 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3561 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3563 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3564 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3566 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3567 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3568 turn them on for you.
3569 - added tests for this
3570 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3571 in Moose::Meta::Class
3574 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3575 automatically turned on for you.
3576 - added tests for this
3579 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3580 - added tests for this
3581 - added some more edge case tests
3583 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3584 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3586 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3590 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3594 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3597 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3598 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3599 - This release works in combination with
3600 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3601 release because it uses the a new
3602 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3603 complete Role implementation. It has
3604 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3605 the the previous CPAN version. This
3606 release also lacks good updated docs,
3607 the official release will have updated docs.
3610 - refactored the keyword exports
3611 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3612 accepts more than one Role at a time
3613 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3614 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3617 - refactored the keyword exports
3618 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3619 accepts more than one Role at a time
3621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3622 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3623 string enumerations which can be used as
3625 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3628 - more careful checking of params to new()
3631 - much work done on the role composition
3632 - many new tests for conflict detection
3633 and composition edge cases
3634 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3635 looking at the tests
3637 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3638 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3639 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3641 * Moose::Meta::Class
3642 - some small changes to support the new
3644 - some small additions to support Roles
3646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3647 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3649 - some small changes to support the new
3651 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3652 with the 'handles' option
3653 - added several tests for this
3654 - no docs for this yet
3656 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3658 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3659 thanks to chansen for this commit
3660 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3661 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3662 on a per-attribute basis
3663 - added tests for this
3664 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3665 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3666 experimental feature and probably not finished
3667 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3668 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3669 - added tests for this

3684 construct_instance (for the better)
3686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3731 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3733 - added test for this
3736 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
