1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
10 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
11 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
13 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
17 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
19 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
23 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
25 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
28 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
32 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
34 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
35 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
39 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
40 more values were required. (rjbs)
42 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
46 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
47 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
52 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
53 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
54 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
56 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
57 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
58 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
60 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
61 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
64 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
65 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
66 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
67 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
72 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
73 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
74 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
77 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
81 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
82 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
85 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
86 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
89 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
90 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
91 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
93 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
94 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
97 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
98 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
99 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
101 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
102 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
105 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
106 the associated stash. (doy)
110 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
111 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
112 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
113 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
115 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
119 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
120 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
121 the attribute's reference.
125 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
126 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
131 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
132 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
133 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
136 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
137 the Object constraint).
139 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
143 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
144 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
149 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
151 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
155 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
158 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
160 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
164 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
166 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
170 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
173 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
174 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
175 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
177 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
180 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
184 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
186 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
190 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
192 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
196 * Include changes from 2.0010.
198 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
202 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
203 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
207 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
208 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
209 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
214 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
216 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
220 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
221 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
223 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
227 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
229 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
233 * Various packaging issues.
235 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
239 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
240 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
245 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
246 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
247 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
251 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
252 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
253 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
255 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
259 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
260 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
262 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
266 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
267 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
269 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
272 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
273 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
277 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
278 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
280 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
284 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
285 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
289 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
291 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
295 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
297 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
301 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
302 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
304 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
308 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
310 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
314 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
316 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
317 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
319 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
323 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
324 skips every other role. (rjbs)
326 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
327 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
328 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
329 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
330 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
332 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
336 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
337 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
338 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
341 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
346 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
348 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
349 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
351 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
355 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
356 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
357 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
361 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
362 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
364 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
365 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
367 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
368 environments. (doy, mateu)
370 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
374 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
375 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
376 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
377 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
381 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
382 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
384 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
388 * Update conflicts list.
391 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
395 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
396 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
397 details. (Dave Rolsky)
399 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
400 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
401 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
402 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
403 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
407 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
408 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
409 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
410 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
411 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
414 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
418 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
419 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
421 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
424 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
428 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
429 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
430 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
431 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
433 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
434 immutable classes). (mo)
436 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
437 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
438 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
440 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
444 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
446 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
448 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
452 * Fix some indexing issues.
454 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
456 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
460 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
461 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
462 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
463 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
464 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
466 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
467 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
472 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
473 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
474 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
475 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
477 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
478 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
479 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
483 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
484 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
487 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
491 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
492 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
496 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
500 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
501 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
502 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
503 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
506 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
510 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
513 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
517 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
518 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
519 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
522 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
526 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
527 policy. (Chris Prather)
529 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
530 on this new support policy. (doy)
534 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
535 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
536 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
538 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
539 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
541 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
545 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
546 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
547 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
548 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
551 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
555 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
556 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
559 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
563 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
564 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
566 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
567 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
571 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
572 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
573 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
574 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
575 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
576 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
578 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
579 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
581 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
582 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
583 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
584 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
586 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
587 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
589 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
594 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
595 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
597 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
601 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
602 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
603 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
605 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
609 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
610 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
611 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
614 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
617 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
618 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
621 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
622 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
623 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
625 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
626 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
631 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
632 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
633 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
634 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
636 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
637 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
639 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
640 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
642 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
643 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
644 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
645 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
647 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
648 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
649 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
652 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
653 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
654 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
655 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
657 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
658 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
661 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
662 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
663 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
665 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
669 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
670 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
671 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
673 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
674 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
675 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
678 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
679 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
680 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
682 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
683 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
684 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
686 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
687 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
691 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
692 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
693 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
695 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
696 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
697 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
698 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
700 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
704 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
705 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
706 value is a reference.
708 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
709 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
711 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
715 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
716 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
717 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
719 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
723 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
724 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
728 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
729 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
730 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
732 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
733 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
734 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
736 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
740 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
742 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
746 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
748 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
749 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
754 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
755 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
757 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
758 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
759 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
760 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
761 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
763 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
764 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
765 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
766 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
768 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
772 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
773 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
778 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
780 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
782 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
787 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
789 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
793 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
794 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
795 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
797 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
798 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
799 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
800 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
802 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
803 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
804 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
805 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
806 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
809 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
814 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
815 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
816 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
817 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
818 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
821 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
825 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
828 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
829 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
833 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
834 function (not just method). (doy)
838 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
839 and aren't easily installable/testable.
841 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
845 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
846 to be overridden more easily (doy).
848 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
852 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
853 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
855 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
859 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
860 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
861 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
863 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
867 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
868 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
869 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
871 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
872 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
876 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
877 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
879 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
880 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
884 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
885 is applied to a class (t0m).
887 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
888 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
890 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
893 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
894 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
896 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
897 be much more robust. (doy)
899 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
901 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
904 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
908 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
909 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
911 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
915 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
916 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
918 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
921 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
922 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
923 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
925 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
926 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
927 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
930 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
932 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
936 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
937 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
941 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
943 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
948 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
952 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
953 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
957 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
959 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
963 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
964 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
968 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
969 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
973 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
974 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
976 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
980 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
981 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
982 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
985 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
989 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
990 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
991 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
992 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
994 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
998 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
999 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1000 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1004 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1005 (Michael G. Schwern)
1007 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1012 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1013 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1017 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1018 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1020 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1021 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1022 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1023 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1025 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1029 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1033 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1034 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1036 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1037 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1038 - Moose::Util::does_role
1039 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1040 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1041 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1043 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1047 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1048 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1049 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1056 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1057 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1060 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1064 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1065 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1072 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1074 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1075 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1077 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1078 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1079 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1082 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1083 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1086 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1087 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1090 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1091 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1093 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1095 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1096 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1098 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1100 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1103 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1104 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1106 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1107 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1109 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1110 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1111 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1112 dependencies installed.
1114 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1115 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1118 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1120 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1124 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1127 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1128 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1131 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1132 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1134 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1135 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1138 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1139 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1140 others. (nothingmuch)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1143 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1144 remove_accessors. (doy)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1147 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1148 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1151 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1153 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1154 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1155 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1156 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Class
1159 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1160 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1163 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1165 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1167 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1168 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1172 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1173 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1174 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1175 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1177 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1180 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1181 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1182 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1183 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1186 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1187 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1188 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1189 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1190 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1192 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1193 which were not receiving the value of
1194 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1195 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1196 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1197 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1201 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1202 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1203 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1204 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1205 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1209 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1210 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1211 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1213 * Moose::Meta::Class
1214 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1215 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1216 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1219 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1220 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1221 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1224 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1225 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1228 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1229 class if you pass it options for
1230 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1231 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1232 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1233 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1234 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1235 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1236 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1237 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1238 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1241 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1242 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1243 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1244 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1247 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1250 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1253 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1254 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1255 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1256 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1257 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1260 * Moose::Error::Croak
1261 * Moose::Error::Confess
1262 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1263 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1266 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1269 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1270 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1271 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Class
1274 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1277 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1278 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1279 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1282 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1283 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1284 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1285 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1288 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1291 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1293 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1294 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1297 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1298 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1302 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1303 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1306 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1307 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1308 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1309 using it for new code!
1311 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1312 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1313 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1314 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1316 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1317 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1318 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1319 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1320 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1321 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1322 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1323 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1326 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1329 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1330 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1334 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1337 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1338 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1340 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1342 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1343 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1345 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1346 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1347 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1350 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1351 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1354 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1356 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1357 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1358 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1359 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1361 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1363 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1367 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1368 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1370 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1371 associated_methods. (hdp)
1372 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1373 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1374 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1375 misspelled) arguments
1377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1378 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1379 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1380 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1384 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1386 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1390 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1391 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1394 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1395 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1397 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1398 * Moose::Meta::Class
1399 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1400 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1402 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1403 * Moose::Manual::Types
1404 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1405 string parsing rathole (mst)
1407 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1408 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1409 using plain objects instead
1411 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1412 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1413 that's what we need.
1415 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1416 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1417 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1418 three times today (perigrin)
1419 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1420 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1423 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1424 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1425 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1428 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1429 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1430 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1431 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1432 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1433 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1436 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1437 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1438 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1439 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1442 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1444 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1447 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1449 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1452 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1453 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1454 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1458 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1459 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1462 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1463 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1465 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1466 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1467 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1469 * Moose::Unsweetened
1470 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1472 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1473 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1476 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1480 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1481 methods during global destruction (doy)
1483 * Moose::Meta::Class
1484 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1485 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1486 consumption (Sartak)
1488 * Moose::Meta::Class
1489 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1490 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1493 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1494 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1497 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1498 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1500 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1502 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1506 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1507 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1508 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1511 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1512 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1513 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1516 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1518 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1520 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1523 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1524 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1525 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1526 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1528 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1529 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1530 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1533 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1536 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1538 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1542 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1543 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1545 * Moose::Meta::Class
1546 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1548 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1550 * Moose::Meta::Class
1551 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1552 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1555 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1556 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1559 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1560 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1563 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1566 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1569 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1572 * Moose::Meta::Class
1573 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1575 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1576 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1579 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1580 * More deprecations and renamings
1581 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1582 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1583 when an object is constructed)
1586 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1587 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1588 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1591 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1592 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1593 feature, and it works again.
1596 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1598 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1600 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1601 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1602 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1605 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1606 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1607 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1608 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1611 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1612 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1613 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1614 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1617 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1618 metaclass object. (hdp)
1620 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1621 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1622 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1623 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1624 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1625 point out this fact. (hdp)
1627 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1628 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1630 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1631 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1633 * Moose::Meta::Class
1634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1635 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1636 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1637 called during instance construction were passed the
1638 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1639 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1641 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1642 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1645 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1646 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1647 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1650 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1651 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1652 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1653 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1654 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1656 - Moose::Meta::Class
1657 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1659 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1660 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1661 when an object is constructed)
1662 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1664 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1665 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1666 when an object is constructed)
1667 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1668 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1669 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1672 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1674 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1675 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1677 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1679 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1680 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1681 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1684 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1685 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1687 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1689 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1690 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1692 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1693 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1696 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1697 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1700 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1701 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1702 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1704 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1705 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1709 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1710 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1711 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1713 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1714 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1717 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1718 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1719 with recommended workarounds.
1721 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1722 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1725 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1726 (yes, spelled like that).
1728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1729 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1731 * Moose::Meta::Class
1732 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1733 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1735 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1738 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1739 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1740 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1741 instead. Reported by doy.
1743 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1745 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1746 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1748 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1749 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1750 message) is now deprecated.
1751 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1752 often got it wrong. For example:
1754 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1756 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1760 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1761 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1762 bite you in weird cases.
1764 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1766 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1767 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1770 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1774 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1777 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1778 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1782 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1785 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1788 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1790 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1791 - added tests for this (stevan)
1793 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1794 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1795 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1796 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1800 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1801 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1802 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1803 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1805 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1806 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1807 - added tests for this (rafl)
1809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1810 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1811 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1812 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1816 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1817 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1821 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1822 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1824 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1826 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1827 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1829 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1830 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1831 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1832 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1833 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1836 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1837 error message did not specify the attribute name
1840 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1842 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1844 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1845 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1846 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1849 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1852 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1854 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1855 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1856 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1857 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1859 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1861 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1862 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1863 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1864 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1867 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1868 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1871 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1872 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1873 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1874 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1877 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1878 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1879 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1880 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1883 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1884 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1885 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1886 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1887 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1889 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1890 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1891 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1892 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1893 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1894 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1897 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1899 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1900 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1901 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1902 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1905 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1908 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1912 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1913 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1915 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1916 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1917 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1918 guts. (nothingmuch).
1920 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1922 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1925 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1926 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1927 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1929 * Moose::Meta::Class
1930 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1933 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1934 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1936 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1937 * Moose::Unsweetened
1938 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1941 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1942 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1943 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1944 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1945 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1946 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1948 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1949 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1950 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1951 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1952 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1953 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1954 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1955 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1956 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1957 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1959 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1961 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1962 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1965 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1966 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1967 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1969 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1970 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1971 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1972 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1973 same methods for a single role did not work
1974 right (worked just fine with multiple
1976 - added test for this (stevan)
1978 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1979 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1980 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1983 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1984 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1985 - added test for this (t0m)
1988 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1989 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1990 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1992 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1993 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1994 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1995 - added test for this (t0m)
1997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1998 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1999 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2000 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2001 - added test for this (perigrin)
2004 - create method for constructing a role
2005 dynamically (Sartak)
2006 - added test for this (Sartak)
2007 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2008 - added test for this (Sartak)
2011 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2013 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2014 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2015 methods is useful (Sartak)
2017 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2019 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2022 * Moose::Meta::Class
2023 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2024 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2025 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2026 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2027 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2028 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2031 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2032 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2034 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2035 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2036 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2037 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2038 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2040 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2042 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2043 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2044 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2047 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2048 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2049 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2050 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2051 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2052 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2056 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2057 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2058 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2059 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2060 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2061 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2062 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2063 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2064 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2065 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2068 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2071 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2072 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2073 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2074 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2075 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2077 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2079 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2080 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2081 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2084 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2087 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2088 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2089 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2092 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2093 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2095 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2097 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2098 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2100 * Moose::Meta::Class
2101 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2102 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2103 a required attribute
2105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2106 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2107 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2108 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2110 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2111 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2114 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2115 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2116 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2117 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2118 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2119 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2120 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2122 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2123 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2124 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2126 * Roles and role application
2127 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2128 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2129 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2130 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2131 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2133 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2134 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2137 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2138 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2139 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2140 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2141 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2144 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2145 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2146 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2147 changes in the Moose internals.
2149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2151 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2155 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2156 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2157 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2159 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2160 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2161 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2162 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2165 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2166 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2167 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2168 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2169 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2170 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2171 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2172 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2173 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2174 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2175 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2176 constraint implementations.
2178 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2182 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2183 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2184 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2185 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2186 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2187 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2188 - added tests for this (rafl)
2190 * Moose::Meta::Class
2191 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2192 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2193 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2194 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2195 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2196 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2197 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2198 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2201 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2202 - added tests for this (thepler)
2204 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2205 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2206 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2207 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2210 * Moose::Meta::Class
2211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2212 * Moose::Meta::Method
2215 * Moose::Error::Default
2216 * Moose::Error::Croak
2217 * Moose::Error::Confess
2218 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2219 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2220 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2221 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2222 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2223 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2225 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2227 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2228 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2230 * Moose::Unsweetened
2231 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2232 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2233 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2236 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2237 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2238 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2239 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2242 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2243 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2245 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2246 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2247 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2248 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2251 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2253 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2254 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2256 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2259 - Various bug fixes.
2261 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2262 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2264 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2266 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2267 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2268 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2269 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2270 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2271 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2273 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2274 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2275 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2277 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2278 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2279 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2282 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2283 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2284 dependency to 0.64_07.
2286 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2287 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2288 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2291 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2294 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2295 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2296 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2297 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2298 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2299 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2302 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2304 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2306 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2307 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2311 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2312 method when that method was provided by another role being
2313 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2314 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2316 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2318 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2319 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2322 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2323 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2324 - added test for this (t0m)
2326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2327 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2328 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2330 - added test for this (t0m)
2333 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2334 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2335 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2338 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2339 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2341 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2343 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2344 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2346 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2347 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2348 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2350 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2351 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2356 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2357 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2361 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2362 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2363 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2366 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2367 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2368 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2369 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2372 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2376 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2377 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2378 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2380 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2382 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2383 created so that the process can be more easily

2396 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2398 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10

2400 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2402 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2403 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2404 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2406 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4

2409 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2410 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2413 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2414 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2418 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2419 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2421 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2422 ... this is not my day today ...
2424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2425 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2426 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2427 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2428 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2431 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2432 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2433 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2434 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2435 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2438 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2440 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2441 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2442 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2443 this is not ever something you want to do
2444 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2445 - added tests for this (stevan)
2448 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2450 - added test for this
2452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2458 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2459 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2461 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2462 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2463 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2466 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2468 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2470 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2473 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2474 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2475 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2476 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2477 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2478 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2479 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2480 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2481 - added tests for this
2483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2484 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2485 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2486 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2488 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2551 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2553 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2554 (early morning release engineering)--
2556 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2557 which was causing the indexer to choke
2559 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2560 (late night release engineering)--
2562 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2563 changes in this release
2565 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2571 since it is called so often by &meta
2573 * Moose::Meta::Class
2575 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2576 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2580 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2581 method for immutablization to check if the
2582 destructor object even needs to be created
2585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2586 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2587 - added more descriptive error message to help
2588 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2589 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2591 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2593 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2594 XS based functionality is now optional
2595 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2596 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2597 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2599 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2600 to take care of this, mostly we added
2601 support for the package_name and name
2602 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2603 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2604 support regexp matching of names
2605 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2606 - tests added for this
2607 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2608 is currently not supported in roles,
2609 but, ... patches welcome
2610 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2611 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2612 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2615 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2616 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2617 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2618 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2619 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2620 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2621 - added test for this
2623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2624 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2625 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2628 * Moose::Meta::Class
2629 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2633 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2635 - added tests for this
2636 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2637 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2640 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2641 themselves parameterizable types
2643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2644 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2645 called by the inlined immutable
2647 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2649 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2650 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2651 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2652 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2654 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2655 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2659 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

2667 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2670 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2671 ->body when looping through the
2672 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2674 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2675 eating the $@ values, and so not
2676 working correctly, it still kind of
2677 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2678 - added tests for this
2680 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2681 - added new recipe for immutable
2682 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2684 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2700 drink more coffee before
2701 doing release engineering
2703 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2704 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2705 modules. This fixes that.

2708 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2709 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2718 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2719 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2721 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2722 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2723 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2724 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2730 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2731 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

2735 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2737 - added test for this
2739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2740 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2741 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug

2818 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2820 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2821 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2864 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2865 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3111 - added tests for this
3114 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3115 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3158 when they encounter overriden or modified
3159 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3160 - added tests for this
3162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3170 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3173 * Parameterized Types
3174 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3175 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3176 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3177 They can also be nested:
3178 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3179 And work with the type unions as well:
3180 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3182 * Better Framework Extendability
3183 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3184 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3185 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3186 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3189 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3190 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3191 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3192 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3460 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3461 !! for this developer release to work !!
3463 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3464 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3465 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3466 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3467 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3468 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3469 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3470 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3471 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3472 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3473 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3475 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3476 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3477 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3478 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3481 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3482 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3483 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3484 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3485 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3487 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3489 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3490 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3493 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3494 called unless they actually need to be.
3495 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3496 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3497 DEMOLISH method present.
3499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3501 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3502 type constraint, which allows for a
3503 hand optimized version of the type
3504 constraint to be used when possible.
3505 - Any internally created type constraints
3506 now provide an optimized version as well.
3508 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3510 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3511 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3512 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3514 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3515 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3516 your class namespace of these exported
3519 * Moose::Meta::Class
3520 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3521 comes up during global destruction
3523 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3527 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3531 - changed how we do type checks so that
3532 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3535 - moved accessor generation methods to
3536 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3537 conform to the API changes from
3540 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3541 - changed how constraints are compiled
3542 so that we do less recursion and more
3543 iteration. This makes the type check
3545 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3549 - created this from methods formerly found in
3550 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3552 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3553 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3556 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3559 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3561 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3563 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3564 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3565 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3566 - added tests for this
3567 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3568 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3569 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3570 - removed tests for this
3572 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3574 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3575 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3576 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3579 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3580 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3581 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3583 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3584 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3585 comments for more info.
3588 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3589 asked questions and common problems
3591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3592 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3593 - added tests for this
3595 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3596 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3597 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3598 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3600 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3601 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3604 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3605 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3606 is much appreciated :)
3607 - added tests for this
3609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3610 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3611 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3614 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3615 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3617 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3619 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3620 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3624 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3625 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3626 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3628 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3630 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3633 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3634 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3635 keywords because we need to localize them.
3636 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3638 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3639 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3640 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3643 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3646 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3647 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3648 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3651 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3652 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3653 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3655 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3657 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3658 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3659 bottom of your class file.
3662 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3665 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3667 - improved error message when loading modules so
3668 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3669 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3670 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3673 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3674 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3675 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3677 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3678 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3680 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3681 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3682 turn them on for you.
3683 - added tests for this
3684 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3685 in Moose::Meta::Class
3688 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3689 automatically turned on for you.

3693 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3694 - added tests for this

3708 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3711 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3712 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3713 - This release works in combination with
3714 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3715 release because it uses the a new
3716 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3717 complete Role implementation. It has
3718 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3719 the the previous CPAN version. This
3720 release also lacks good updated docs,
3721 the official release will have updated docs.
3724 - refactored the keyword exports
3725 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3726 accepts more than one Role at a time
3727 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3728 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3731 - refactored the keyword exports
3732 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3733 accepts more than one Role at a time
3735 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3736 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3737 string enumerations which can be used as
3739 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3742 - more careful checking of params to new()
3745 - much work done on the role composition
3746 - many new tests for conflict detection
3747 and composition edge cases
3748 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3749 looking at the tests
3751 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3752 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3753 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3755 * Moose::Meta::Class
3756 - some small changes to support the new
3758 - some small additions to support Roles
3760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3761 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3763 - some small changes to support the new
3765 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3766 with the 'handles' option
3767 - added several tests for this
3768 - no docs for this yet
3770 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3772 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3773 thanks to chansen for this commit
3774 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3775 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3776 on a per-attribute basis
3777 - added tests for this
3778 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3779 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3780 experimental feature and probably not finished
3781 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3782 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3783 - added tests for this
3786 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3797 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3798 construct_instance (for the better)
3800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3801 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3802 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

3844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3845 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3847 - added test for this
3850 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3851 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
3852 - added test for this
