1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
7 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
8 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
9 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
10 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
13 - DEMOLISH now localizes all of Perl's global status variables (worst
14 Perl feature evah?). Based on a patch from zefream. RT #48271. (doy
17 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
18 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
19 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
21 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
22 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
23 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
26 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
27 class if you pass it options for
28 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
29 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
30 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
31 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
32 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
33 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
34 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
35 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
36 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
39 - Warn when calling make_immutable on a class with mutable ancestors.
42 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
43 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
44 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
45 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
46 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
49 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
50 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
51 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
52 existing delegation API. (hdp)
54 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
55 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
56 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
57 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
58 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
59 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
63 * Moose::Error::Confess
64 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
65 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
68 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
71 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
72 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
73 installing a broken sub. (doy)
76 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
77 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
79 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
80 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
81 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
82 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
83 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
85 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
86 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
89 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
91 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
92 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
95 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
96 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
98 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
99 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
100 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
101 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
104 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
105 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
106 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
107 using it for new code!
109 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
110 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
111 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
112 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
114 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
115 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
116 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
117 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
118 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
119 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
120 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
121 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
124 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
127 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
128 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
132 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
135 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
136 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
140 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
141 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
144 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
145 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
148 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
149 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
152 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
154 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
155 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
156 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
157 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
159 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
161 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
165 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
166 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
168 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
169 associated_methods. (hdp)
170 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
171 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
172 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
173 misspelled) arguments
175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
176 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
177 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
178 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
182 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
184 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
188 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
189 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
192 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
193 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
195 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
197 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
198 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
200 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
201 * Moose::Manual::Types
202 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
203 string parsing rathole (mst)
205 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
206 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
207 using plain objects instead
209 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
210 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
213 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
215 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
216 three times today (perigrin)
217 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
218 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
221 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
222 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
223 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
226 - A role's required methods are now represented by
227 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
228 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
229 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
230 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
231 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
234 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
235 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
236 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
237 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
240 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
242 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
245 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
247 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
250 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
251 during global destruction. This method has been made more
252 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
256 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
257 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
260 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
261 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
263 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
264 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
265 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
268 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
270 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
271 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
274 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
278 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
279 methods during global destruction (doy)
282 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
283 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
287 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
288 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
291 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
292 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
295 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
296 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
298 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
300 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
304 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
305 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
306 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
309 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
310 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
311 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
314 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
316 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
318 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
322 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
323 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
324 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
326 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
327 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
328 of the Moose core (Sartak)
331 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
334 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
335 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
336 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
340 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
341 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
344 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
346 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
349 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
350 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
353 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
354 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
357 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
358 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
361 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
364 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
367 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
371 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
374 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
377 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
378 * More deprecations and renamings
379 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
380 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
381 when an object is constructed)
384 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
385 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
386 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
389 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
390 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
391 feature, and it works again.
394 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
396 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
398 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
399 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
400 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
403 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
404 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
405 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
406 message. Test provided by perigrin.
408 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
409 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
410 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
411 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
412 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
415 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
416 metaclass object. (hdp)
418 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
419 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
420 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
421 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
422 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
423 point out this fact. (hdp)
425 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
426 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
428 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
429 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
433 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
434 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
435 called during instance construction were passed the
436 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
437 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
439 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
440 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
443 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
444 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
445 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
448 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
449 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
450 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
451 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
452 them, but they are not for "public" use.
455 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
457 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
458 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
459 when an object is constructed)
460 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
462 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
463 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
464 when an object is constructed)
465 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
466 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
467 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
470 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
472 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
473 * No changes from 0.72_01.
475 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
477 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
478 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
479 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
482 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
483 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
485 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
487 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
488 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
490 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
491 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
494 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
495 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
498 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
499 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
500 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
503 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
507 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
508 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
509 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
512 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
515 * Moose::Manual::Delta
516 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
517 with recommended workarounds.
519 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
520 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
523 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
524 (yes, spelled like that).
526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
527 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
530 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
531 changes in latest Class::MOP.
533 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
536 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
537 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
538 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
539 instead. Reported by doy.
541 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
543 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
544 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
547 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
548 message) is now deprecated.
549 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
550 often got it wrong. For example:
552 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
554 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
558 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
559 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
560 bite you in weird cases.
562 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
563 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
564 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
567 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
568 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
572 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
575 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
576 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
579 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
580 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
583 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
586 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
587 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
588 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
589 - added tests for this (stevan)
591 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
592 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
593 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
594 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
598 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
599 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
600 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
601 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
603 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
604 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
605 - added tests for this (rafl)
607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
608 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
609 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
610 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
614 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
615 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
618 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
619 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
620 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
622 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
624 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
625 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
628 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
629 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
630 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
631 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
633 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
634 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
635 error message did not specify the attribute name
638 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
640 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
642 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
643 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
644 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
647 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
650 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
652 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
653 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
654 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
655 of fixes and formatting improvements.
657 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
659 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
660 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
661 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
662 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
665 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
666 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
669 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
670 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
671 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
672 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
675 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
676 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
677 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
678 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
680 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
681 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
682 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
683 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
684 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
685 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
687 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
688 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
689 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
690 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
691 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
692 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
695 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
697 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
698 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
699 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
700 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
703 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
706 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
710 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
711 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
713 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
714 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
715 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
718 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
720 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
722 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
723 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
724 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
725 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
728 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
731 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
732 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
734 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
736 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
739 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
740 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
741 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
742 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
743 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
744 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
747 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
748 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
749 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
750 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
751 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
752 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
753 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
754 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
755 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
757 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
759 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
760 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
763 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
764 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
765 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
767 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
768 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
769 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
770 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
771 same methods for a single role did not work
772 right (worked just fine with multiple
774 - added test for this (stevan)
776 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
777 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
778 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
781 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
782 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
783 - added test for this (t0m)
786 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
787 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
788 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
790 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
791 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
792 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
793 - added test for this (t0m)
795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
796 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
797 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
798 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
799 - added test for this (perigrin)
802 - create method for constructing a role
804 - added test for this (Sartak)
805 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
806 - added test for this (Sartak)
809 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
811 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
812 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
813 methods is useful (Sartak)
815 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
817 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
821 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
822 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
823 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
824 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
825 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
826 - added tests for this (jdv79)
829 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
830 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
832 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
833 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
834 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
835 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
836 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
838 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
840 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
841 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
842 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
845 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
846 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
847 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
848 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
849 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
850 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
854 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
855 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
856 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
857 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
858 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
859 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
860 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
861 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
862 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
863 future. (jnapiorkowski)
865 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
866 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
870 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
871 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
872 type. (jnapiorkowski)
873 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
875 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
877 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
878 predicate, and link to more details sections in
879 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
882 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
885 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
886 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
887 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
890 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
891 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
893 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
895 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
896 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
899 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
900 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
904 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
905 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
906 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
908 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
909 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
911 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
912 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
913 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
914 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
915 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
916 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
917 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
918 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
920 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
921 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
922 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
924 * Roles and role application
925 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
926 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
927 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
928 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
929 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
931 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
932 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
935 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
936 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
937 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
938 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
939 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
942 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
943 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
944 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
945 changes in the Moose internals.
947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
949 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
953 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
954 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
955 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
957 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
958 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
959 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
960 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
963 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
964 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
965 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
966 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
967 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
968 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
969 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
970 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
971 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
972 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
973 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
974 constraint implementations.
976 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
980 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
981 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
982 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
983 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
984 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
985 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
986 - added tests for this (rafl)
989 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
990 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
991 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
992 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
993 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
994 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
995 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
996 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
999 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1000 - added tests for this (thepler)
1002 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1003 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1004 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1005 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1008 * Moose::Meta::Class
1009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1010 * Moose::Meta::Method
1013 * Moose::Error::Default
1014 * Moose::Error::Croak
1015 * Moose::Error::Confess
1016 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1017 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1018 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1019 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1020 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1021 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1023 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1025 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1026 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 * Moose::Unsweetened
1029 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1030 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1031 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1034 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1035 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1036 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1037 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1040 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1041 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1043 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1044 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1045 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1046 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1049 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1051 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1052 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1054 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1057 - Various bug fixes.
1059 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1060 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1062 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1064 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1065 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1066 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1067 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1068 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1069 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1071 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1072 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1073 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1075 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1076 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1077 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1080 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1081 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1082 dependency to 0.64_07.
1084 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1085 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1086 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1089 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1093 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1094 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1095 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1096 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1097 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1100 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1102 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1104 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1105 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1109 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1110 method when that method was provided by another role being
1111 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1112 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1114 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1116 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1117 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1120 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1121 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1122 - added test for this (t0m)
1124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1125 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1126 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1128 - added test for this (t0m)
1131 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1132 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1133 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1137 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1139 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1141 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1142 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1144 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1145 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1146 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1149 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1152 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1154 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1155 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1159 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1160 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1161 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1164 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1165 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1166 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1167 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1170 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1174 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1175 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1176 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1178 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1180 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1181 created so that the process can be more easily
1182 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1185 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1186 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1187 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1193 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1194 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1196 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1197 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1198 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1200 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1201 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1202 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1205 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1208 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1212 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1216 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1217 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1219 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1220 ... this is not my day today ...
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1223 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1224 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1225 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1226 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1229 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1230 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1231 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1232 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1233 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1236 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1238 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1239 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1240 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1241 this is not ever something you want to do
1242 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1243 - added tests for this (stevan)
1246 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1248 - added test for this
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1252 - added tests for this (wreis)
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1255 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1256 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1257 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1260 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1261 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1264 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1266 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1268 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1271 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1272 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1273 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1274 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1275 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1276 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1277 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1278 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1279 - added tests for this
1281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1282 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1283 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1284 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1286 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1289 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1290 - added tests for this (sartak)
1291 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1292 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1295 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1297 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1298 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1300 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1302 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1303 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1305 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1307 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1308 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1311 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1312 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1313 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1316 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1317 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1319 - added docs for this (TODO).
1320 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1321 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1322 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1323 - fix builder and default both being used
1328 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1330 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1331 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1332 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1336 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1340 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1341 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1342 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1345 - move the ClassName type check code to
1346 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1348 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1349 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1351 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1352 (early morning release engineering)--
1354 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1355 which was causing the indexer to choke
1357 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1358 (late night release engineering)--
1360 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1361 changes in this release
1363 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1364 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1365 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1367 * Moose::Meta::Class
1368 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1369 since it is called so often by &meta
1371 * Moose::Meta::Class
1373 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the

1391 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1392 XS based functionality is now optional
1393 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1394 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1395 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1406 is currently not supported in roles,
1407 but, ... patches welcome

1414 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1415 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1469 ->body when looping through the
1470 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1472 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1473 eating the $@ values, and so not
1474 working correctly, it still kind of
1475 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1476 - added tests for this

1498 drink more coffee before
1499 doing release engineering
1501 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1506 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1507 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1616 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1618 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1619 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1662 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1663 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1956 when they encounter overriden or modified
1957 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1958 - added tests for this
1960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1961 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1962 the | always creates a union and so is

1968 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1971 * Parameterized Types
1972 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1973 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1974 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1975 They can also be nested:
1976 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1977 And work with the type unions as well:
1978 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1980 * Better Framework Extendability
1981 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1982 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1983 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1984 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1987 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1988 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1989 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1990 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1993 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1995 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2162 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2165 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2166 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2167 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2168 - added tests for this
2170 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2172 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2224 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2225 so that you can actually document your
2226 attributes and inspect them through the

2230 * Moose::Meta::Class
2231 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2233 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2234 then default to just loading $name.
2235 - added tests and docs for this
2237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2238 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2239 - added test for this
2242 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2243 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2244 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2245 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2247 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2248 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2251 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2253 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2254 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2255 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2258 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2259 !! for this developer release to work !!
2261 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2262 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2263 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2264 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2265 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2266 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2267 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2268 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2269 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2270 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2271 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2273 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2274 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2275 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2276 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2279 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2281 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2282 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2283 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2285 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2287 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2288 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2291 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2292 called unless they actually need to be.
2293 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2294 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2295 DEMOLISH method present.
2297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2298 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2299 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2300 type constraint, which allows for a
2301 hand optimized version of the type
2302 constraint to be used when possible.
2303 - Any internally created type constraints
2304 now provide an optimized version as well.
2306 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2308 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2309 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2310 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2313 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2314 your class namespace of these exported
2317 * Moose::Meta::Class
2318 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2319 comes up during global destruction
2321 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2325 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2329 - changed how we do type checks so that
2330 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2333 - moved accessor generation methods to
2334 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2335 conform to the API changes from
2338 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2339 - changed how constraints are compiled
2340 so that we do less recursion and more
2341 iteration. This makes the type check
2343 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2347 - created this from methods formerly found in
2348 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2350 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2351 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2354 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2359 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2362 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2363 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2364 - added tests for this
2365 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2366 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2367 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2368 - removed tests for this
2370 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2372 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2373 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2374 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2377 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2378 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2379 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2381 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2382 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2383 comments for more info.
2386 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2387 asked questions and common problems
2389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2390 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2391 - added tests for this
2393 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2394 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2395 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2396 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2398 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2399 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2402 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2403 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2404 is much appreciated :)
2405 - added tests for this
2407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2408 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2409 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2412 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2413 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2415 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2417 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2418 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2422 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2423 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2424 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2426 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2428 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2431 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2432 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2433 keywords because we need to localize them.
2434 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2436 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2437 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2438 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2441 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2444 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2445 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2446 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2449 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2450 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2451 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2453 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2455 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2456 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2457 bottom of your class file.
2460 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2463 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2465 - improved error message when loading modules so
2466 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2467 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2468 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2471 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2472 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2473 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2476 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2478 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2479 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2480 turn them on for you.
2481 - added tests for this
2482 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2483 in Moose::Meta::Class

2510 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2511 - This release works in combination with
2512 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2513 release because it uses the a new
2514 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2515 complete Role implementation. It has
2516 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2517 the the previous CPAN version. This
2518 release also lacks good updated docs,
2519 the official release will have updated docs.
2522 - refactored the keyword exports
2523 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2524 accepts more than one Role at a time

2530 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2531 accepts more than one Role at a time
2533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2535 string enumerations which can be used as
2537 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2540 - more careful checking of params to new()
2543 - much work done on the role composition
2544 - many new tests for conflict detection
2545 and composition edge cases
2546 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2547 looking at the tests
2549 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2550 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2551 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2553 * Moose::Meta::Class

2556 - some small additions to support Roles
2558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2559 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2561 - some small changes to support the new
2563 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2564 with the 'handles' option

2570 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2571 thanks to chansen for this commit
2572 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2573 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2574 on a per-attribute basis
2575 - added tests for this
2576 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2577 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2578 experimental feature and probably not finished

2580 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2581 - added tests for this
