1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
10 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
14 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
16 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
17 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
19 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
23 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
24 skips every other role. (rjbs)
26 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
27 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
28 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
29 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
30 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
32 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
36 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
37 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
38 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
41 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
46 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
48 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
49 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
51 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
55 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
56 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
57 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
61 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
62 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
64 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
65 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
67 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
68 environments. (doy, mateu)
70 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
74 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
75 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
76 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
77 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
81 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
82 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
84 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
88 * Update conflicts list.
91 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
95 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
96 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
97 details. (Dave Rolsky)
99 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
100 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
101 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
102 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
103 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
107 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
108 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
109 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
110 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
111 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
114 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
118 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
119 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
121 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
124 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
128 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
129 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
130 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
131 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
133 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
134 immutable classes). (mo)
136 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
137 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
138 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
140 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
144 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
146 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
148 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
152 * Fix some indexing issues.
154 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
156 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
160 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
161 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
162 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
163 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
164 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
166 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
167 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
172 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
173 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
174 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
175 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
177 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
178 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
179 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
183 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
184 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
187 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
191 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
192 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
196 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
200 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
201 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
202 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
203 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
206 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
210 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
213 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
217 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
218 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
219 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
222 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
226 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
227 policy. (Chris Prather)
229 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
230 on this new support policy. (doy)
234 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
235 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
236 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
238 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
239 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
241 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
245 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
246 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
247 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
248 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
251 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
255 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
256 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
259 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
263 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
264 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
266 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
267 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
271 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
272 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
273 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
274 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
275 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
276 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
278 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
279 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
281 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
282 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
283 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
284 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
286 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
287 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
289 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
294 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
295 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
297 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
301 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
302 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
303 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
305 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
309 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
310 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
311 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
313 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
314 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
317 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
318 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
321 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
322 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
323 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
325 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
326 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
331 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
332 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
333 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
334 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
336 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
337 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
339 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
340 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
342 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
343 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
344 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
345 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
347 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
348 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
349 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
352 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
353 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
354 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
355 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
357 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
358 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
361 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
362 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
363 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
365 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
369 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
370 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
371 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
373 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
374 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
375 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
378 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
379 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
380 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
382 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
383 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
384 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
386 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
387 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
391 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
392 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
393 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
395 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
396 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
397 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
398 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
400 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
404 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
405 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
406 value is a reference.
408 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
409 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
411 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
415 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
416 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
417 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
419 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
423 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
424 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
428 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
429 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
430 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
432 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
433 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
434 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
436 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
440 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
442 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
446 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
448 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
449 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
454 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
455 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
457 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
458 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
459 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
460 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
461 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
464 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
465 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
466 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
468 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
472 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
473 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
478 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
480 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
482 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
487 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
489 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
493 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
494 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
495 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
498 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
499 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
500 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
502 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
503 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
504 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
505 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
506 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
509 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
514 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
515 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
516 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
517 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
518 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
521 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
525 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
528 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
529 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
533 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
534 function (not just method). (doy)
538 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
539 and aren't easily installable/testable.
541 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
545 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
546 to be overridden more easily (doy).
548 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
552 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
553 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
555 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
559 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
560 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
561 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
563 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
567 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
568 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
569 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
571 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
572 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
576 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
577 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
579 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
580 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
584 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
585 is applied to a class (t0m).
587 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
588 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
590 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
593 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
594 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
596 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
597 be much more robust. (doy)
599 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
601 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
604 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
608 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
609 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
611 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
615 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
616 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
618 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
621 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
622 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
623 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
625 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
626 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
627 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
630 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
632 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
636 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
637 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
641 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
643 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
648 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
652 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
653 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
657 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
659 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
663 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
664 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
668 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
669 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
673 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
674 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
676 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
680 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
681 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
682 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
685 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
689 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
690 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
691 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
692 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
694 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
698 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
699 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
700 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
704 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
707 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
712 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
713 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
717 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
718 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
720 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
721 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
722 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
723 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
725 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
729 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
733 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
734 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
736 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
737 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
738 - Moose::Util::does_role
739 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
740 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
741 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
743 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
747 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
748 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
749 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
752 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
756 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
757 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
760 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
764 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
765 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
768 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
772 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
774 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
775 class. (Dave Rolsky).
777 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
778 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
779 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
781 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
782 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
783 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
786 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
787 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
789 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
790 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
791 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
793 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
795 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
796 substr et al, again. (sorear)
798 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
800 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
803 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
804 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
806 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
807 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
809 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
810 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
811 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
812 dependencies installed.
814 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
815 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
818 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
820 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
824 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
827 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
828 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
831 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
832 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
834 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
835 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
838 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
839 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
840 others. (nothingmuch)
842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
843 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
844 remove_accessors. (doy)
846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
847 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
848 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
851 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
853 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
855 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
856 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
859 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
860 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
863 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
865 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
867 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
868 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
871 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
872 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
873 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
874 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
875 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
877 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
880 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
881 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
882 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
883 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
886 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
887 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
888 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
889 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
890 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
892 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
893 which were not receiving the value of
894 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
895 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
896 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
897 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
901 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
902 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
903 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
904 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
905 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
909 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
910 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
911 - added tests for this (Stevan)
914 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
915 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
916 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
919 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
921 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
924 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
925 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
928 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
929 class if you pass it options for
930 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
931 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
932 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
933 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
934 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
935 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
936 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
937 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
938 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
940 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
941 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
942 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
943 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
944 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
947 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
949 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
950 existing delegation API. (hdp)
952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
953 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
954 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
955 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
956 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
957 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
960 * Moose::Error::Croak
961 * Moose::Error::Confess
962 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
963 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
966 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
969 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
970 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
971 installing a broken sub. (doy)
974 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
977 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
978 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
979 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
981 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
982 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
983 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
984 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
985 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
988 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
991 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
993 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
994 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
997 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
998 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1001 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1002 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1003 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1006 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1007 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1008 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1009 using it for new code!
1011 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1012 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1013 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1014 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1016 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1017 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1018 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1019 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1020 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1021 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1022 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1023 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1026 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1029 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1030 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1034 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1037 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1038 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1040 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1042 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1043 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1045 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1046 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1047 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1050 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1051 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1054 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1056 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1057 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1058 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1059 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1061 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1063 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1067 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1068 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1070 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1071 associated_methods. (hdp)
1072 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1073 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1074 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1075 misspelled) arguments
1077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1078 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1079 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1080 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1083 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1084 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1086 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1090 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1091 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1094 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1095 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1097 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1098 * Moose::Meta::Class
1099 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1100 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1102 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1103 * Moose::Manual::Types
1104 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1105 string parsing rathole (mst)
1107 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1108 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1109 using plain objects instead
1111 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1112 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1113 that's what we need.
1115 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1116 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1117 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1118 three times today (perigrin)
1119 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1120 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1123 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1124 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1125 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1128 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1129 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1130 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1131 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1132 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1133 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1136 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1137 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1138 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1139 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1142 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1144 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1147 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1149 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1152 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1153 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1154 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1158 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1159 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1162 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1163 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1165 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1167 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1169 * Moose::Unsweetened
1170 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1172 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1173 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1176 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1180 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1181 methods during global destruction (doy)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Class
1184 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1185 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1186 consumption (Sartak)
1188 * Moose::Meta::Class
1189 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1190 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1193 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1194 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1197 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1198 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1200 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1202 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1206 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1207 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1208 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1212 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1213 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1216 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1218 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1219 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1220 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1224 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1225 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1226 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1229 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1230 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1233 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1236 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1238 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1242 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1243 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1245 * Moose::Meta::Class
1246 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1248 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1250 * Moose::Meta::Class
1251 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1252 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1255 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1256 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1259 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1260 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1263 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1266 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1269 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1272 * Moose::Meta::Class
1273 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1276 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1279 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1280 * More deprecations and renamings
1281 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1282 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1283 when an object is constructed)
1286 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1287 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1288 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1291 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1292 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1293 feature, and it works again.
1296 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1298 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1300 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1301 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1302 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1305 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1306 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1307 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1308 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1311 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1312 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1313 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1314 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1317 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1318 metaclass object. (hdp)
1320 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1324 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1325 point out this fact. (hdp)
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1328 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1330 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1331 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1333 * Moose::Meta::Class
1334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1335 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1336 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1337 called during instance construction were passed the
1338 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1339 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1341 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1342 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1345 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1346 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1347 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1350 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1351 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1352 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1353 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1354 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1356 - Moose::Meta::Class
1357 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1359 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1360 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1361 when an object is constructed)
1362 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1364 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1365 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1366 when an object is constructed)
1367 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1368 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1369 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1372 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1374 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1375 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1377 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1379 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1380 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1381 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1383 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1384 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1385 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1387 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1389 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1390 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1392 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1393 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1396 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1397 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1400 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1401 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1402 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1405 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1409 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1410 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1411 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1414 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1417 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1418 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1419 with recommended workarounds.
1421 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1422 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1425 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1426 (yes, spelled like that).
1428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1429 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1431 * Moose::Meta::Class
1432 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1433 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1435 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1438 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1439 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1440 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1441 instead. Reported by doy.
1443 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1445 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1446 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1449 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1450 message) is now deprecated.
1451 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1452 often got it wrong. For example:
1454 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1456 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1460 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1461 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1462 bite you in weird cases.
1464 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1465 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1466 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1467 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1469 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1470 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1474 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1477 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1478 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1481 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1482 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1485 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1488 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1490 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1491 - added tests for this (stevan)
1493 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1494 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1495 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1496 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1500 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1501 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1502 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1503 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1505 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1506 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1507 - added tests for this (rafl)
1509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1510 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1511 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1512 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1516 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1517 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1521 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1522 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1524 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1526 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1527 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1529 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1530 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1531 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1532 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1533 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1536 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1537 error message did not specify the attribute name
1540 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1542 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1544 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1545 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1546 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1549 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1552 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1554 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1555 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1556 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1557 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1559 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1561 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1562 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1563 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1564 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1567 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1568 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1571 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1572 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1573 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1574 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1577 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1578 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1579 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1580 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1583 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1584 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1585 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1586 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1587 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1589 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1590 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1591 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1592 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1593 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1594 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1597 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1599 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1600 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1601 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1602 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1605 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1608 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1612 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1613 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1615 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1616 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1617 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1618 guts. (nothingmuch).
1620 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1621 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1622 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1625 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1626 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1627 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1629 * Moose::Meta::Class
1630 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1633 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1634 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1637 * Moose::Unsweetened
1638 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1641 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1642 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1643 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1644 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1645 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1646 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1648 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1649 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1650 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1651 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1652 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1653 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1654 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1655 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1656 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1657 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1659 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1661 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1662 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1665 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1666 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1667 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1669 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1670 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1671 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1672 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1673 same methods for a single role did not work
1674 right (worked just fine with multiple
1676 - added test for this (stevan)
1678 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1679 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1680 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1683 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1684 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1685 - added test for this (t0m)
1688 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1689 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1690 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1693 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1694 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1695 - added test for this (t0m)
1697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1698 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1699 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1700 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1701 - added test for this (perigrin)
1704 - create method for constructing a role
1705 dynamically (Sartak)
1706 - added test for this (Sartak)
1707 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1708 - added test for this (Sartak)
1711 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1713 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1714 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1715 methods is useful (Sartak)
1717 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1719 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1722 * Moose::Meta::Class
1723 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1724 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1725 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1726 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1727 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1728 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1731 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1732 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1734 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1736 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1737 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1738 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1740 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1742 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1743 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1744 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1747 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1748 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1749 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1750 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1751 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1752 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1756 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1757 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1758 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1759 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1760 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1761 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1762 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1763 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1764 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1765 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1767 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1768 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1771 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1772 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1773 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1774 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1775 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1777 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1779 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1780 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1781 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1784 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1787 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1788 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1789 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1793 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1795 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1797 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1798 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1800 * Moose::Meta::Class
1801 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1802 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1803 a required attribute
1805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1807 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1808 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1810 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1811 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1814 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1815 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1816 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1817 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1818 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1819 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1820 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1823 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1824 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1826 * Roles and role application
1827 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1828 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1829 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1830 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1831 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1833 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1834 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1837 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1838 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1839 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1840 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1841 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1844 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1845 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1846 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1847 changes in the Moose internals.
1849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1851 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1855 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1856 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1857 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1860 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1861 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1862 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1865 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1866 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1867 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1868 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1869 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1870 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1871 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1872 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1873 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1874 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1875 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1876 constraint implementations.
1878 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1882 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1883 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1884 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1885 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1886 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1887 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 - added tests for this (rafl)
1890 * Moose::Meta::Class
1891 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1892 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1893 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1894 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1895 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1896 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1897 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1901 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1902 - added tests for this (thepler)
1904 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1905 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1906 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1907 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1910 * Moose::Meta::Class
1911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1912 * Moose::Meta::Method
1915 * Moose::Error::Default
1916 * Moose::Error::Croak
1917 * Moose::Error::Confess
1918 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1919 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1920 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1921 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1922 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1923 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1925 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1927 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1928 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 * Moose::Unsweetened
1931 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1932 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1933 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1935 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1936 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1937 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1938 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1939 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1942 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1943 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1945 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1946 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1947 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1948 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1951 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1953 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1954 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1956 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1959 - Various bug fixes.
1961 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1962 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1964 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1966 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1967 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1968 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1969 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1970 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1971 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1974 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1975 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1978 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1979 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1982 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1983 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1984 dependency to 0.64_07.
1986 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1987 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1988 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1991 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1995 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1996 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1997 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1998 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1999 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2002 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2004 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2006 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2007 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2011 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2012 method when that method was provided by another role being
2013 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2014 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2016 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2018 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2019 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2022 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2023 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2024 - added test for this (t0m)
2026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2027 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2028 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2030 - added test for this (t0m)
2033 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2034 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2035 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2038 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2039 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2041 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2043 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2044 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2046 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2047 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2048 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2050 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2121 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2122 ... this is not my day today ...
2124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2125 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2126 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2127 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2128 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2131 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2132 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2133 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2134 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2135 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2138 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2140 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2141 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2173 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2174 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2175 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2176 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2177 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2178 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2179 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2180 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2181 - added tests for this
2183 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2184 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2294 XS based functionality is now optional
2295 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2748 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2749 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2750 types without having to explictly define them
2751 - added tests for this
2753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2754 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2755 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2757 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2759 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2760 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2761 - added tests for this
2762 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2763 a single type at different times instead of
2764 having to do it all in one place
2765 - added tests for this
2767 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2768 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2769 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2772 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2773 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2774 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2775 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2776 new features above (although you cannot add
2777 more type coercions for Union types)
2779 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2781 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2782 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2783 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2784 - added tests for this.
2785 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2786 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2787 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2788 - added tests for this
2789 - added docs for this
2791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2792 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2793 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2794 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2795 instead it will just return undef.
2796 - added docs for this
2798 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2810 with work correctly.
2811 - added tests for this
2814 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2815 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2818 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2819 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2820 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2822 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2853 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2854 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2857 - fixed how required methods are handled
2858 when they encounter overriden or modified
2859 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2860 - added tests for this
2862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2863 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2864 the | always creates a union and so is
2865 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2866 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2868 - added more tests for this
2870 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2873 * Parameterized Types
2874 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2875 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2876 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2877 They can also be nested:
2878 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2879 And work with the type unions as well:
2880 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2882 * Better Framework Extendability
2883 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2884 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2885 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2886 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2889 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2890 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2891 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2892 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2895 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2897 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2898 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2933 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2934 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2936 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2937 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2947 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2949 - added tests for this
2951 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2957 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2958 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2960 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2961 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2962 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2963 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2977 (thanks to shlomif).
2979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2980 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2981 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2982 - added tests for this

2985 - added tests for this
2987 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2988 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3019 - added tests for these
3021 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3022 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3025 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3026 to the 'handles' option.
3027 - added tests and docs for this

3039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3040 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3046 the other side (perigrin)
3048 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3050 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3051 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3052 prototypes for functions
3053 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3054 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3064 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3067 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3068 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3069 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3070 - added tests for this
3072 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3074 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3092 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3093 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3095 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3096 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3098 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3099 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3100 so this release is just to fix that.
3103 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3104 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3105 (thanks to konobi for this)
3106 - added tests and docs
3108 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3109 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3112 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3113 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3114 - added tests for this
3115 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3116 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3117 functions to facilitate introspection.
3119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3120 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3121 to build the list of delegated methods
3122 correctly (and not override important
3123 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3125 - added tests and docs for this
3126 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3127 so that you can actually document your
3128 attributes and inspect them through the
3130 - added tests and docs for this
3132 * Moose::Meta::Class
3133 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3134 it will first look in for the class in the
3135 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3136 then default to just loading $name.
3137 - added tests and docs for this
3139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3140 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3141 - added test for this
3144 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3145 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3146 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3147 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3149 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3150 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3153 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3155 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3156 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3157 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3160 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3161 !! for this developer release to work !!
3163 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3164 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3165 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3166 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3167 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3168 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3169 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3170 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3171 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3172 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3173 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3175 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3176 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3177 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3178 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3181 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3183 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3184 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3185 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3187 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3189 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3190 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3193 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3194 called unless they actually need to be.
3195 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3196 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3197 DEMOLISH method present.
3199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3201 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3202 type constraint, which allows for a
3203 hand optimized version of the type
3204 constraint to be used when possible.
3205 - Any internally created type constraints
3206 now provide an optimized version as well.
3208 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3210 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3211 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3212 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3214 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3215 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3216 your class namespace of these exported
3219 * Moose::Meta::Class
3220 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3221 comes up during global destruction
3223 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3227 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3231 - changed how we do type checks so that
3232 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3235 - moved accessor generation methods to
3236 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3237 conform to the API changes from
3240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3241 - changed how constraints are compiled
3242 so that we do less recursion and more
3243 iteration. This makes the type check
3245 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3249 - created this from methods formerly found in
3250 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3252 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3253 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3256 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3259 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3261 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3264 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3265 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3266 - added tests for this
3267 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3268 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3269 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3270 - removed tests for this
3272 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3274 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3275 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3276 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3279 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3280 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3281 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3283 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3284 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3285 comments for more info.
3288 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3289 asked questions and common problems
3291 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3292 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3293 - added tests for this
3295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3296 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3297 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3298 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3300 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3301 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3304 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3305 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3306 is much appreciated :)
3307 - added tests for this
3309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3310 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3311 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3314 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3315 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3317 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3319 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3320 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3324 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3325 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3326 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3328 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3330 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3333 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3334 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3335 keywords because we need to localize them.
3336 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3338 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3339 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3340 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3343 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3347 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3348 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3351 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3352 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3353 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3355 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3357 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3358 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3359 bottom of your class file.
3362 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3365 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3367 - improved error message when loading modules so
3368 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3369 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3370 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3373 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3374 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3375 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3377 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3378 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3380 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3381 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3382 turn them on for you.
3383 - added tests for this
3384 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3385 in Moose::Meta::Class
3388 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3389 automatically turned on for you.
3390 - added tests for this
3393 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3394 - added tests for this
3395 - added some more edge case tests

3407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3408 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3411 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3412 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3413 - This release works in combination with
3414 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3415 release because it uses the a new
3416 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3417 complete Role implementation. It has
3418 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3419 the the previous CPAN version. This
3420 release also lacks good updated docs,
3421 the official release will have updated docs.
3424 - refactored the keyword exports
3425 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3426 accepts more than one Role at a time
3427 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3428 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3431 - refactored the keyword exports
3432 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3433 accepts more than one Role at a time
3435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3436 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3437 string enumerations which can be used as
3439 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3442 - more careful checking of params to new()
3445 - much work done on the role composition
3446 - many new tests for conflict detection
3447 and composition edge cases

3472 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3473 thanks to chansen for this commit
