1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
6 string parsing rathole (mst)
8 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
9 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
10 using plain objects instead
13 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
18 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
19 three times today (perigrin)
20 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
21 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
23 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
24 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
25 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
26 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
29 - A role's required methods are now represented by
30 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
31 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
32 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
33 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
34 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
37 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
38 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
39 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
40 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
43 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
45 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
48 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
50 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
53 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
54 during global destruction. This method has been made more
55 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
59 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
60 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
63 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
64 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
66 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
67 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
68 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
71 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
73 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
74 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
77 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
81 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
82 methods during global destruction (doy)
85 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
86 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
90 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
91 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
94 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
95 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
98 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
99 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
101 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
103 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
107 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
108 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
109 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
112 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
113 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
114 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
117 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
119 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
121 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
124 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
125 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
126 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
127 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
130 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
131 of the Moose core (Sartak)
134 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
137 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
138 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
139 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
143 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
144 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
147 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
149 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
152 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
153 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
156 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
157 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
160 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
161 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
164 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
167 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
170 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
174 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
177 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
180 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
181 * More deprecations and renamings
182 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
183 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
184 when an object is constructed)
187 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
188 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
189 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
192 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
193 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
194 feature, and it works again.
197 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
199 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
201 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
202 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
203 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
206 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
207 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
208 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
209 message. Test provided by perigrin.
211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
212 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
213 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
214 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
215 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
218 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
219 metaclass object. (hdp)
221 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
222 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
223 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
224 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
225 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
226 point out this fact. (hdp)
228 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
229 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
231 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
232 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
236 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
237 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
238 called during instance construction were passed the
239 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
240 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
242 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
243 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
246 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
247 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
248 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
251 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
252 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
253 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
254 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
255 them, but they are not for "public" use.
258 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
260 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
261 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
262 when an object is constructed)
263 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
265 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
266 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
267 when an object is constructed)
268 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
269 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
270 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
273 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
275 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
276 * No changes from 0.72_01.
278 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
280 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
281 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
282 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
285 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
286 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
288 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
290 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
291 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
293 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
294 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
297 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
298 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
301 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
302 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
303 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
306 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
310 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
311 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
312 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
315 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
318 * Moose::Manual::Delta
319 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
320 with recommended workarounds.
322 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
323 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
326 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
327 (yes, spelled like that).
329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
330 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
333 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
334 changes in latest Class::MOP.
336 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
339 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
340 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
341 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
342 instead. Reported by doy.
344 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
346 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
347 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
350 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
351 message) is now deprecated.
352 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
353 often got it wrong. For example:
355 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
357 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
361 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
362 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
363 bite you in weird cases.
365 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
366 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
367 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
370 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
371 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
375 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
378 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
379 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
382 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
383 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
385 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
386 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
389 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
391 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
392 - added tests for this (stevan)
394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
395 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
396 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
397 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
401 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
402 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
403 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
404 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
406 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
407 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
408 - added tests for this (rafl)
410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
411 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
412 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
413 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
417 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
418 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
421 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
422 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
423 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
425 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
427 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
428 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
431 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
432 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
433 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
434 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
437 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
438 error message did not specify the attribute name
441 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
443 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
445 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
446 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
447 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
450 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
453 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
455 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
456 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
457 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
458 of fixes and formatting improvements.
460 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
462 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
463 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
464 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
465 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
467 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
468 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
469 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
472 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
473 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
474 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
475 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
478 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
479 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
480 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
481 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
484 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
485 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
486 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
487 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
488 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
490 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
491 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
492 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
493 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
494 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
495 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
498 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
500 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
501 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
502 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
503 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
506 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
509 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
513 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
514 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
516 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
517 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
518 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
521 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
523 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
525 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
526 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
527 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
528 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
531 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
534 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
535 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
537 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
539 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
542 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
543 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
544 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
545 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
546 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
547 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
550 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
551 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
552 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
553 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
554 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
555 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
556 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
557 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
558 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
560 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
562 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
563 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
565 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
566 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
567 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
568 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
570 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
572 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
573 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
574 same methods for a single role did not work
575 right (worked just fine with multiple
577 - added test for this (stevan)
579 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
580 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
581 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
584 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
585 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
586 - added test for this (t0m)
589 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
590 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
591 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
594 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
595 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
596 - added test for this (t0m)
598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
599 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
600 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
601 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
602 - added test for this (perigrin)
605 - create method for constructing a role
607 - added test for this (Sartak)
608 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
609 - added test for this (Sartak)
612 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
614 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
615 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
616 methods is useful (Sartak)
618 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
620 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
624 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
625 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
626 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
627 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
628 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
629 - added tests for this (jdv79)
632 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
633 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
635 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
636 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
637 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
638 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
639 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
641 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
643 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
644 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
645 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
648 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
649 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
650 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
651 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
652 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
653 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
656 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
657 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
658 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
659 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
660 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
661 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
662 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
663 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
664 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
665 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
666 future. (jnapiorkowski)
668 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
669 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
673 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
674 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
675 type. (jnapiorkowski)
676 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
678 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
680 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
681 predicate, and link to more details sections in
682 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
685 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
687 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
688 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
689 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
690 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
693 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
694 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
696 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
698 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
699 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
702 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
703 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
706 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
707 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
708 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
709 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
711 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
712 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
715 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
716 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
717 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
718 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
719 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
720 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
721 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
723 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
724 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
725 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
727 * Roles and role application
728 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
729 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
730 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
731 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
732 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
734 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
735 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
738 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
739 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
740 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
741 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
742 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
745 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
746 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
747 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
748 changes in the Moose internals.
750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
752 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
756 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
757 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
758 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
761 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
762 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
763 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
766 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
767 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
768 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
769 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
770 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
771 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
772 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
773 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
774 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
775 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
776 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
777 constraint implementations.
779 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
783 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
784 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
785 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
786 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
787 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
788 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
789 - added tests for this (rafl)
792 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
793 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
794 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
795 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
796 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
797 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
798 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
799 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
802 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
803 - added tests for this (thepler)
805 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
806 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
807 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
808 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
813 * Moose::Meta::Method
816 * Moose::Error::Default
817 * Moose::Error::Croak
818 * Moose::Error::Confess
819 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
820 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
821 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
822 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
823 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
824 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
826 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
828 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
829 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
832 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
833 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
834 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
837 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
838 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
839 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
840 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
843 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
844 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
846 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
847 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
848 several major changes in this release of Moose.
849 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
852 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
854 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
855 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
857 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
862 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed

868 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
869 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
870 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
871 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
872 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
874 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
875 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
876 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
878 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
880 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
883 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
884 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
885 dependency to 0.64_07.
887 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
888 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
889 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
892 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
895 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
896 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
897 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
898 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
899 coincidental exception. (t0m).
900 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
902 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
903 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
905 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
907 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
908 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
912 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
913 method when that method was provided by another role being
914 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
915 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
917 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
919 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
920 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
922 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
923 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
924 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
925 - added test for this (t0m)
927 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
928 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
929 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
931 - added test for this (t0m)
934 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
935 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
936 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
939 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
940 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
942 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
944 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
947 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
948 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
949 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
951 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
952 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
955 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
956 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
957 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
958 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
962 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
963 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
964 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
967 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
968 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
969 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
970 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
973 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
977 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
978 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
979 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
981 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008

1000 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1001 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1020 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1022 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1023 ... this is not my day today ...
1025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1026 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1027 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1028 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1029 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1032 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1033 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1034 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1035 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1036 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1039 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1041 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1042 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1043 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1044 this is not ever something you want to do
1045 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1046 - added tests for this (stevan)
1049 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1051 - added test for this

1063 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1064 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1067 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1069 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1071 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1074 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1075 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1076 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1077 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1078 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1079 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1080 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1081 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1082 - added tests for this
1084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1085 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1086 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1087 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1089 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1158 which was causing the indexer to choke
1160 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1161 (late night release engineering)--
1163 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1164 changes in this release
1166 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1167 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1168 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

1172 since it is called so often by &meta
1174 * Moose::Meta::Class

1177 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1180 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1182 method for immutablization to check if the
1183 destructor object even needs to be created
1186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1187 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1188 - added more descriptive error message to help
1189 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1190 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1192 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1194 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1195 XS based functionality is now optional
1196 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1197 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1198 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1200 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1201 to take care of this, mostly we added
1202 support for the package_name and name
1203 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1204 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1205 support regexp matching of names
1206 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1209 is currently not supported in roles,
1210 but, ... patches welcome
1211 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1212 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1213 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1216 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1217 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1218 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1219 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1220 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1221 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1222 - added test for this
1224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1246 called by the inlined immutable
1248 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1250 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1251 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1252 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1253 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1256 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1260 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1261 causing occasional cpantester failures
1262 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be

1267 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1268 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1271 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1272 ->body when looping through the
1273 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1275 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1276 eating the $@ values, and so not
1277 working correctly, it still kind of
1278 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1279 - added tests for this
1281 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1282 - added new recipe for immutable
1283 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1294 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1296 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1297 since Module::Install has done that.

1301 drink more coffee before
1302 doing release engineering
1304 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1305 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

1309 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1310 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1416 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
1417 - I hate Pod::Coverage
1419 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1421 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1422 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1423 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
1424 officially support it.
1425 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
1426 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
1429 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
1430 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

1461 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1465 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1466 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1467 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1469 - added more delegation tests
1470 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1471 support traits and their introspection.
1472 - added tests for this

1712 - added tests for this
1715 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1716 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1755 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1758 - fixed how required methods are handled
1759 when they encounter overriden or modified
1760 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1761 - added tests for this
1763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1764 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1765 the | always creates a union and so is
1766 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1767 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1769 - added more tests for this
1771 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1774 * Parameterized Types
1775 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1776 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1777 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1778 They can also be nested:
1779 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1780 And work with the type unions as well:
1781 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1783 * Better Framework Extendability
1784 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1785 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1786 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1787 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1790 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1791 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1792 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1793 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2050 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2051 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2054 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2056 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2057 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2058 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2061 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2062 !! for this developer release to work !!
2064 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2065 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2066 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2067 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2068 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2069 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2070 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2071 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2072 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2073 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2074 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2076 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2077 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2078 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2079 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2082 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2084 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2085 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2086 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2088 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2090 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2091 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2094 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2095 called unless they actually need to be.
2096 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2097 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2098 DEMOLISH method present.
2100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2101 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2102 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2103 type constraint, which allows for a
2104 hand optimized version of the type
2105 constraint to be used when possible.
2106 - Any internally created type constraints
2107 now provide an optimized version as well.
2109 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2111 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2112 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2113 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2115 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2116 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2117 your class namespace of these exported
2120 * Moose::Meta::Class
2121 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2122 comes up during global destruction
2124 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2128 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2132 - changed how we do type checks so that
2133 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2136 - moved accessor generation methods to
2137 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2138 conform to the API changes from
2141 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2142 - changed how constraints are compiled
2143 so that we do less recursion and more
2144 iteration. This makes the type check
2146 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2150 - created this from methods formerly found in
2151 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2153 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2154 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2157 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2159 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2160 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2162 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2165 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2166 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2167 - added tests for this
2168 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2169 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2170 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2171 - removed tests for this
2173 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2175 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2176 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2177 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2180 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2181 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2182 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2184 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2185 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2186 comments for more info.
2189 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2190 asked questions and common problems
2192 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2193 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2194 - added tests for this
2196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2197 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2198 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2199 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2201 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2202 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2205 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2206 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2207 is much appreciated :)
2208 - added tests for this
2210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2211 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2212 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2215 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2216 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2218 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2220 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2221 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2225 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2226 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2227 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2229 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2231 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2234 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2235 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2236 keywords because we need to localize them.
2237 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2239 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2240 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2241 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2244 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2248 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2249 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2252 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2253 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2254 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2256 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2258 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2259 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2260 bottom of your class file.
2263 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2266 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2268 - improved error message when loading modules so
2269 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2270 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2271 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2274 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2275 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2276 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2278 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2279 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2281 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2282 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2283 turn them on for you.
2284 - added tests for this
2285 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2286 in Moose::Meta::Class
2289 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2290 automatically turned on for you.

2309 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2312 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2313 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2314 - This release works in combination with
2315 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2316 release because it uses the a new
2317 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2318 complete Role implementation. It has
2319 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2320 the the previous CPAN version. This
2321 release also lacks good updated docs,
2322 the official release will have updated docs.
2325 - refactored the keyword exports
2326 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2327 accepts more than one Role at a time
2328 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2329 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2332 - refactored the keyword exports
2333 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2334 accepts more than one Role at a time
2336 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2337 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2338 string enumerations which can be used as
2340 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2343 - more careful checking of params to new()
2346 - much work done on the role composition
2347 - many new tests for conflict detection
2348 and composition edge cases
2349 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2350 looking at the tests
2352 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2353 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2354 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2356 * Moose::Meta::Class
2357 - some small changes to support the new
2359 - some small additions to support Roles
2361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2362 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2364 - some small changes to support the new
2366 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2367 with the 'handles' option
2368 - added several tests for this
2369 - no docs for this yet
2371 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2373 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2374 thanks to chansen for this commit
2375 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2376 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2377 on a per-attribute basis
2378 - added tests for this
2379 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2380 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2381 experimental feature and probably not finished
2382 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2383 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2384 - added tests for this

2446 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2448 - added test for this
2451 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
