1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
9 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
13 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
14 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
15 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
20 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
21 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
23 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
28 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
29 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
31 2.0102 Sat, Jun 18, 2011
35 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
36 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
38 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
42 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
44 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
48 * Various packaging issues.
50 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
54 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
55 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
60 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
61 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
62 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
66 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
67 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
68 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
70 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
74 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
75 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
79 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
81 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
85 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
87 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
91 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
92 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
94 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
98 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
100 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
104 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
106 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
107 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
109 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
113 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
114 skips every other role. (rjbs)
116 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
117 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
118 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
119 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
120 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
122 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
126 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
127 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
128 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
131 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
136 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
138 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
139 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
141 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
145 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
146 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
147 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
151 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
152 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
154 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
155 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
157 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
158 environments. (doy, mateu)
160 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
164 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
165 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
166 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
167 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
171 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
172 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
174 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
178 * Update conflicts list.
181 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
185 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
186 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
187 details. (Dave Rolsky)
189 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
190 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
191 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
192 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
193 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
197 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
198 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
199 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
200 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
201 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
204 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
208 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
209 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
211 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
214 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
218 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
219 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
220 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
221 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
223 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
224 immutable classes). (mo)
226 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
227 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
228 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
230 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
234 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
236 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
238 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
242 * Fix some indexing issues.
244 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
246 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
250 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
251 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
252 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
253 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
254 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
256 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
257 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
262 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
263 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
264 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
265 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
267 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
268 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
269 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
273 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
274 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
277 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
281 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
282 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
286 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
290 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
291 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
292 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
293 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
296 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
300 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
303 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
307 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
308 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
309 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
312 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
316 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
317 policy. (Chris Prather)
319 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
320 on this new support policy. (doy)
324 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
325 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
326 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
328 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
329 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
331 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
335 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
336 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
337 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
338 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
341 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
345 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
346 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
349 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
353 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
354 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
356 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
357 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
361 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
362 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
363 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
364 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
365 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
366 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
368 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
369 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
371 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
372 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
373 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
374 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
376 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
377 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
379 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
384 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
385 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
387 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
391 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
392 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
393 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
395 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
399 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
400 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
401 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
403 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
404 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
407 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
408 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
411 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
412 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
413 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
415 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
416 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
421 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
422 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
423 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
424 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
426 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
427 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
429 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
430 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
432 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
433 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
434 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
435 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
437 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
438 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
439 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
442 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
443 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
444 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
445 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
448 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
451 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
452 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
453 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
455 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
459 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
460 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
461 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
463 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
464 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
465 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
468 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
469 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
470 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
472 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
473 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
474 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
476 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
477 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
481 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
482 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
483 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
485 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
486 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
487 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
488 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
490 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
494 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
495 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
496 value is a reference.
498 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
499 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
501 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
505 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
506 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
507 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
509 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
513 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
514 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
518 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
519 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
520 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
522 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
523 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
524 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
526 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
530 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
532 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
536 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
538 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
539 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
544 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
545 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
547 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
548 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
549 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
550 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
551 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
553 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
554 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
555 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
556 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
558 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
562 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
563 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
568 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
570 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
572 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
577 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
579 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
583 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
584 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
585 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
587 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
588 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
589 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
590 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
592 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
593 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
594 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
595 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
596 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
599 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
604 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
605 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
606 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
607 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
608 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
611 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
615 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
618 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
619 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
623 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
624 function (not just method). (doy)
628 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
629 and aren't easily installable/testable.
631 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
635 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
636 to be overridden more easily (doy).
638 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
642 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
643 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
645 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
649 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
650 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
651 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
653 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
657 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
658 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
659 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
661 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
662 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
666 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
667 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
669 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
670 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
674 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
675 is applied to a class (t0m).
677 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
678 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
680 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
683 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
684 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
686 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
687 be much more robust. (doy)
689 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
691 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
694 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
698 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
699 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
701 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
705 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
706 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
708 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
711 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
712 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
713 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
715 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
716 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
717 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
720 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
722 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
726 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
727 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
731 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
733 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
738 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
742 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
743 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
747 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
749 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
753 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
754 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
758 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
759 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
763 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
764 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
766 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
770 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
771 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
772 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
775 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
779 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
780 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
781 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
782 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
784 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
788 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
789 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
790 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
794 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
797 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
802 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
803 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
807 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
808 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
810 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
811 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
812 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
813 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
815 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
819 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
823 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
824 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
826 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
827 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
828 - Moose::Util::does_role
829 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
830 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
831 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
833 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
837 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
838 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
839 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
842 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
846 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
847 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
850 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
854 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
855 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
858 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
862 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
864 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
865 class. (Dave Rolsky).
867 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
868 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
869 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
871 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
872 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
873 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
876 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
877 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
879 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
880 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
881 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
883 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
885 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
886 substr et al, again. (sorear)
888 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
890 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
893 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
894 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
896 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
897 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
899 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
900 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
901 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
902 dependencies installed.
904 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
905 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
908 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
910 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
914 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
916 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
917 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
918 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
921 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
922 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
924 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
925 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
928 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
929 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
930 others. (nothingmuch)
932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
933 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
934 remove_accessors. (doy)
936 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
937 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
938 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
941 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
943 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
945 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
946 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
949 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
950 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
953 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
955 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
957 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
958 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
962 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
963 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
964 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
965 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
967 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
969 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
970 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
971 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
972 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
973 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
976 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
977 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
978 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
979 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
980 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
982 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
983 which were not receiving the value of
984 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
985 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
986 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
987 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
991 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
992 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
993 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
994 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
995 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
999 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1000 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1001 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1003 * Moose::Meta::Class
1004 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1005 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1006 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1009 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1011 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1014 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1015 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1018 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1019 class if you pass it options for
1020 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1021 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1022 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1023 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1024 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1025 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1026 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1027 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1028 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1030 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1031 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1032 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1033 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1034 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1037 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1039 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1040 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1043 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1044 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1045 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1046 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1047 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1050 * Moose::Error::Croak
1051 * Moose::Error::Confess
1052 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1053 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1056 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1059 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1060 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1061 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Class
1064 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1067 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1068 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1069 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1071 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1072 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1073 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1074 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1075 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1078 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1081 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1083 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1084 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1087 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1088 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1091 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1092 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1093 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1096 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1097 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1098 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1099 using it for new code!
1101 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1102 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1103 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1104 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1106 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1107 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1108 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1109 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1110 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1111 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1112 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1113 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1116 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1119 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1120 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1127 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1128 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1130 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1132 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1133 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1135 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1136 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1137 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1140 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1141 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1144 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1145 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1146 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1147 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1148 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1149 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1151 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1153 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1157 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1158 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1160 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1161 associated_methods. (hdp)
1162 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1163 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1164 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1165 misspelled) arguments
1167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1168 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1169 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1170 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1174 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1176 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1180 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1181 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1184 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1185 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1187 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1188 * Moose::Meta::Class
1189 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1190 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1192 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1193 * Moose::Manual::Types
1194 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1195 string parsing rathole (mst)
1197 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1198 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1199 using plain objects instead
1201 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1202 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1203 that's what we need.
1205 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1206 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1207 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1208 three times today (perigrin)
1209 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1210 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1212 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1213 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1214 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1215 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1218 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1219 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1220 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1221 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1222 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1223 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1226 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1227 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1228 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1229 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1232 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1234 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1237 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1239 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1242 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1243 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1244 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1248 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1249 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1252 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1253 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1255 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1257 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1259 * Moose::Unsweetened
1260 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1262 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1263 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1266 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1270 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1271 methods during global destruction (doy)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Class
1274 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1275 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1276 consumption (Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Class
1279 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1280 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1283 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1284 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1287 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1288 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1290 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1292 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1296 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1297 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1298 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1301 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1302 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1303 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1306 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1308 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1310 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1313 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1314 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1315 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1316 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1318 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1319 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1320 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1323 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1326 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1327 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1328 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1332 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1333 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1338 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1340 * Moose::Meta::Class
1341 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1342 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1345 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1346 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1349 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1350 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1353 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1356 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1358 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1359 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1362 * Moose::Meta::Class
1363 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1366 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1369 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1370 * More deprecations and renamings
1371 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1372 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1373 when an object is constructed)
1376 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1377 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1378 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1380 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1381 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1382 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1383 feature, and it works again.
1386 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1388 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1390 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1391 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1392 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1395 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1396 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1397 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1398 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1401 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1402 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1403 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1404 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1407 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1408 metaclass object. (hdp)
1410 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1411 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1412 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1413 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1414 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1415 point out this fact. (hdp)
1417 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1418 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1420 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1421 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1423 * Moose::Meta::Class
1424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1425 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1426 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1427 called during instance construction were passed the
1428 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1429 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1431 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1432 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1435 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1436 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1437 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1440 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1441 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1442 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1443 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1444 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1446 - Moose::Meta::Class
1447 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1449 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1450 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1451 when an object is constructed)
1452 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1454 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1455 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1456 when an object is constructed)
1457 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1458 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1459 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1462 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1464 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1465 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1467 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1469 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1470 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1471 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1473 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1474 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1475 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1477 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1480 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1482 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1483 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1486 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1487 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1490 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1491 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1492 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1495 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1499 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1500 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1501 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1504 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1507 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1508 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1509 with recommended workarounds.
1511 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1512 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1514 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1515 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1516 (yes, spelled like that).
1518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1519 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1521 * Moose::Meta::Class
1522 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1523 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1525 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1528 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1529 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1530 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1531 instead. Reported by doy.
1533 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1535 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1536 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1538 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1539 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1540 message) is now deprecated.
1541 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1542 often got it wrong. For example:
1544 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1546 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1550 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1551 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1552 bite you in weird cases.
1554 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1555 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1556 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1557 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1560 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1564 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1567 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1568 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1571 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1572 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1575 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1578 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1579 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1580 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1581 - added tests for this (stevan)
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1584 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1585 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1586 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1590 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1591 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1592 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1593 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1595 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1596 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1597 - added tests for this (rafl)
1599 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1600 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1601 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1602 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1606 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1607 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1610 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1611 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1612 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1614 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1616 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1617 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1619 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1620 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1621 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1622 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1623 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1625 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1626 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1627 error message did not specify the attribute name
1630 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1632 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1634 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1635 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1636 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1639 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1642 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1644 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1645 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1646 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1647 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1649 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1651 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1652 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1653 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1654 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1657 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1658 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1661 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1662 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1663 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1664 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1667 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1668 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1669 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1670 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1673 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1674 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1675 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1676 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1677 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1679 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1680 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1681 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1682 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1683 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1684 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1686 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1687 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1689 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1690 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1691 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1692 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1695 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1698 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1702 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1703 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1705 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1706 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1707 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1708 guts. (nothingmuch).
1710 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1712 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1715 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1716 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1717 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1719 * Moose::Meta::Class
1720 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1723 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1724 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1727 * Moose::Unsweetened
1728 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1731 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1732 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1733 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1734 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1735 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1736 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1739 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1740 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1741 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1742 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1743 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1744 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1746 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1747 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1751 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1752 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1755 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1756 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1757 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1759 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1760 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1761 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1762 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1763 same methods for a single role did not work
1764 right (worked just fine with multiple
1766 - added test for this (stevan)
1768 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1769 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1770 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1773 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1774 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1775 - added test for this (t0m)
1778 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1779 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1780 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1783 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1784 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1785 - added test for this (t0m)
1787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1788 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1789 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1790 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1791 - added test for this (perigrin)
1794 - create method for constructing a role
1795 dynamically (Sartak)
1796 - added test for this (Sartak)
1797 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1798 - added test for this (Sartak)
1801 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1803 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1804 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1805 methods is useful (Sartak)
1807 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1809 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1812 * Moose::Meta::Class
1813 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1814 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1815 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1816 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1817 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1821 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1822 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1824 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1825 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1826 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1827 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1828 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1832 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1833 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1837 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1838 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1839 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1840 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1841 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1842 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1846 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1847 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1848 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1849 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1850 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1851 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1852 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1853 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1854 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1855 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1857 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1858 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1862 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1863 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1864 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1865 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1867 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1869 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1870 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1871 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1874 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1877 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1878 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1879 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1883 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1885 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1887 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1888 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1890 * Moose::Meta::Class
1891 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1892 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1893 a required attribute
1895 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1896 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1897 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1898 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1900 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1901 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1904 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1905 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1906 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1907 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1908 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1909 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1910 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1913 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1914 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1916 * Roles and role application
1917 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1918 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1919 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1920 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1921 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1923 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1924 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1927 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1928 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1929 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1930 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1931 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1934 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1935 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1936 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1937 changes in the Moose internals.
1939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1941 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1945 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1946 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1947 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1949 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1950 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1951 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1952 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1955 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1956 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1957 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1958 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1959 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1960 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1961 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1962 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1963 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1964 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1965 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1966 constraint implementations.
1968 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1972 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1973 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1974 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1975 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1976 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1977 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1978 - added tests for this (rafl)
1980 * Moose::Meta::Class
1981 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1982 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1983 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1984 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1985 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1986 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1987 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1991 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1992 - added tests for this (thepler)
1994 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1995 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1996 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1997 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2000 * Moose::Meta::Class
2001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2002 * Moose::Meta::Method
2005 * Moose::Error::Default
2006 * Moose::Error::Croak
2007 * Moose::Error::Confess
2008 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2009 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2010 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2011 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2012 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2013 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2015 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2017 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2018 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2020 * Moose::Unsweetened
2021 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2022 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2023 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2025 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2026 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2027 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2028 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2029 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2032 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2033 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2035 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2036 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2037 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2038 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2041 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2043 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2044 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2046 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2049 - Various bug fixes.
2051 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2052 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2054 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2056 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2057 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2058 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2059 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2060 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2061 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2063 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2064 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2065 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2067 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2068 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4

2212 ... this is not my day today ...
2214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2215 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2216 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2217 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2218 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2221 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2222 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2223 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2265 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2266 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2267 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2268 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2269 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2270 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2271 - added tests for this
2273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2274 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2764 - 100% backwards compat.
2765 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2766 classes based on type of applicants
2767 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2768 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2769 used in this process
2770 - new Composite role metaclass
2771 - runtime application of roles to instances
2772 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2773 classes when applicable
2775 * <<New Role composition features>>
2776 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2778 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2779 still retain the original as well)

2795 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2796 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2797 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2806 - added this module to support the refactor
2807 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2810 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2811 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2815 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2817 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2818 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2819 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2821 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2855 - added tests for this
2857 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2858 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2859 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2862 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2863 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2864 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2865 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2869 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2871 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2879 - added docs for this
2881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2882 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2883 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2884 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,

2901 - added tests for this
2904 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2905 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2944 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2947 - fixed how required methods are handled
2948 when they encounter overriden or modified
2949 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2950 - added tests for this
2952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2953 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2954 the | always creates a union and so is
2955 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2956 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2958 - added more tests for this
2960 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2963 * Parameterized Types
2964 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2965 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2966 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2967 They can also be nested:
2968 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2969 And work with the type unions as well:
2970 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2972 * Better Framework Extendability
2973 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2974 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2975 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2976 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2979 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2980 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2981 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2982 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2985 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2987 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2988 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2991 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3019 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
3021 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
3022 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
3023 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
3024 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
3026 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
3027 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
3028 - updated the accompanying test as well
3030 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
3031 +++ with new features added as well +++
3033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3037 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3039 - added tests for this
3041 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3047 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3048 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3050 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3051 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3052 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3053 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3120 (but not changing the handles option)
3121 - added tests and docs for this
3124 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3125 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3140 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3141 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3142 prototypes for functions
3143 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3144 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3154 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3157 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3158 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3159 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3160 - added tests for this
3162 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3164 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3182 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3183 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3185 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3186 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3188 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3189 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3190 so this release is just to fix that.
3193 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3194 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3195 (thanks to konobi for this)
3196 - added tests and docs
3198 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3199 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3202 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3203 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3204 - added tests for this
3205 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3206 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3207 functions to facilitate introspection.
3209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3210 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3211 to build the list of delegated methods
3212 correctly (and not override important
3213 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3215 - added tests and docs for this
3216 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3217 so that you can actually document your
3218 attributes and inspect them through the
3220 - added tests and docs for this
3222 * Moose::Meta::Class
3223 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3224 it will first look in for the class in the
3225 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3226 then default to just loading $name.
3227 - added tests and docs for this
3229 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3230 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3231 - added test for this
3234 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3235 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3236 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3237 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3239 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3240 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3243 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3245 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3246 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3247 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3250 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3251 !! for this developer release to work !!
3253 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3254 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3255 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3256 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3257 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3258 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3259 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3260 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3261 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3262 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3263 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3265 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3266 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3267 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3268 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3271 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3273 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3274 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3275 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3277 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3279 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3280 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3283 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3284 called unless they actually need to be.
3285 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3286 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3287 DEMOLISH method present.
3289 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3291 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3292 type constraint, which allows for a
3293 hand optimized version of the type
3294 constraint to be used when possible.
3295 - Any internally created type constraints
3296 now provide an optimized version as well.
3298 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3300 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3301 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3302 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3304 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3305 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3306 your class namespace of these exported
3309 * Moose::Meta::Class
3310 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3311 comes up during global destruction
3313 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3317 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3321 - changed how we do type checks so that
3322 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3325 - moved accessor generation methods to
3326 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3327 conform to the API changes from
3330 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3331 - changed how constraints are compiled
3332 so that we do less recursion and more
3333 iteration. This makes the type check
3335 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3339 - created this from methods formerly found in
3340 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3342 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3343 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3345 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3346 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3348 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3349 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3351 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3354 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3355 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3356 - added tests for this
3357 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3358 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3359 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3360 - removed tests for this
3362 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3364 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3365 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3366 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3369 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3370 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3371 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3373 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3374 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3375 comments for more info.
3378 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3379 asked questions and common problems
3381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3382 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3383 - added tests for this
3385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3386 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3387 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3388 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3390 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3391 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3394 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3395 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3396 is much appreciated :)
3397 - added tests for this
3399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3400 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3401 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3405 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3407 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3409 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3410 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3414 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3415 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3416 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3418 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3420 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3423 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3424 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3425 keywords because we need to localize them.
3426 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3428 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3429 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3430 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3433 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3437 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3438 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3441 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3442 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3443 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3445 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3447 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3448 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the

3452 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3455 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3457 - improved error message when loading modules so
3458 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3459 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3460 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3463 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3464 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3465 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3468 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3470 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3471 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3472 turn them on for you.
3473 - added tests for this
3474 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3475 in Moose::Meta::Class
3478 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3479 automatically turned on for you.
3480 - added tests for this
3483 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3484 - added tests for this
3485 - added some more edge case tests

3502 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3503 - This release works in combination with
3504 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3505 release because it uses the a new
3506 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3507 complete Role implementation. It has
3508 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3509 the the previous CPAN version. This
3510 release also lacks good updated docs,
3511 the official release will have updated docs.
3514 - refactored the keyword exports
3515 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3516 accepts more than one Role at a time
3517 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3518 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3521 - refactored the keyword exports
3522 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3523 accepts more than one Role at a time
3525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3526 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3527 string enumerations which can be used as
3529 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3532 - more careful checking of params to new()
3535 - much work done on the role composition
3536 - many new tests for conflict detection
3537 and composition edge cases
3538 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3539 looking at the tests
3541 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3542 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3543 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3545 * Moose::Meta::Class
3546 - some small changes to support the new
3548 - some small additions to support Roles
3550 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3551 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3553 - some small changes to support the new
3555 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3556 with the 'handles' option
3557 - added several tests for this
3558 - no docs for this yet

3562 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3563 thanks to chansen for this commit
3564 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3565 to support custom attribute meta-classes

3569 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3570 experimental feature and probably not finished
