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 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
14 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
15 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
16 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
17 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
19 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
20 which were not receiving the value of
21 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
22 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
23 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
25 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
26 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
27 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
29 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
30 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
31 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
34 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
35 class if you pass it options for
36 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
37 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
38 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
39 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
40 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
41 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
42 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
43 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
44 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
47 - Warn when calling make_immutable on a class with mutable ancestors.
50 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
51 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
52 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
53 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
54 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
57 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
58 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
59 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
60 existing delegation API. (hdp)
62 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
63 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
64 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
65 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
66 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
67 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
71 * Moose::Error::Confess
72 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
73 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
76 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
79 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
80 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
81 installing a broken sub. (doy)
84 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
85 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
87 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
88 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
89 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
90 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
91 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
93 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
94 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
97 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
99 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
100 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
103 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
104 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
108 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
109 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
112 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
113 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
114 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
115 using it for new code!
117 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
118 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
119 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
120 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
122 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
123 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
124 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
125 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
126 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
127 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
128 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
129 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
132 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
135 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
136 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
140 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
143 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
144 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
148 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
149 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
152 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
153 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
156 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
157 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
160 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
162 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
163 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
164 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
165 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
167 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
169 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
173 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
174 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
176 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
177 associated_methods. (hdp)
178 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
179 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
180 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
181 misspelled) arguments
183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
184 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
185 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
186 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
190 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
192 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
196 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
197 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
200 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
201 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
203 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
205 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
206 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
208 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
209 * Moose::Manual::Types
210 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
211 string parsing rathole (mst)
213 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
214 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
215 using plain objects instead
217 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
218 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
221 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
223 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
224 three times today (perigrin)
225 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
226 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
229 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
230 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
231 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
234 - A role's required methods are now represented by
235 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
236 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
237 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
238 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
239 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
242 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
243 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
244 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
245 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
248 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
250 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
253 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
255 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
258 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
259 during global destruction. This method has been made more
260 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
264 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
265 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
268 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
269 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
271 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
272 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
273 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
276 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
278 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
279 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
282 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
286 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
287 methods during global destruction (doy)
290 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
291 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
295 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
296 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
299 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
300 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
303 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
304 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
306 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
308 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
312 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
313 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
314 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
317 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
318 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
319 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
322 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
324 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
325 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
326 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
329 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
330 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
331 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
332 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
334 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
335 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
336 of the Moose core (Sartak)
339 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
342 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
343 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
344 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
348 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
349 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
352 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
354 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
357 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
358 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
361 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
362 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
365 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
366 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
369 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
372 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
375 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
379 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
382 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
385 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
386 * More deprecations and renamings
387 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
388 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
389 when an object is constructed)
392 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
393 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
394 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
397 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
398 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
399 feature, and it works again.
402 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
404 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
406 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
407 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
408 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
411 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
412 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
413 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
414 message. Test provided by perigrin.
416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
417 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
418 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
419 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
420 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
423 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
424 metaclass object. (hdp)
426 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
427 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
428 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
429 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
430 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
431 point out this fact. (hdp)
433 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
434 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
436 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
437 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
441 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
442 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
443 called during instance construction were passed the
444 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
445 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
447 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
448 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
451 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
452 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
453 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
456 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
457 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
458 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
459 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
460 them, but they are not for "public" use.
463 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
465 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
466 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
467 when an object is constructed)
468 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
470 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
471 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
472 when an object is constructed)
473 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
474 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
475 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
478 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
480 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
481 * No changes from 0.72_01.
483 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
485 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
486 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
487 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
490 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
491 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
493 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
495 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
496 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
498 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
499 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
502 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
503 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
506 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
507 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
508 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
511 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
515 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
516 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
517 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
519 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
520 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
523 * Moose::Manual::Delta
524 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
525 with recommended workarounds.
527 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
528 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
531 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
532 (yes, spelled like that).
534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
535 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
538 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
539 changes in latest Class::MOP.
541 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
543 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
544 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
545 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
546 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
547 instead. Reported by doy.
549 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
551 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
552 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
555 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
556 message) is now deprecated.
557 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
558 often got it wrong. For example:
560 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
562 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
566 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
567 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
568 bite you in weird cases.
570 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
571 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
572 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
575 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
576 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
580 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
583 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
584 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
587 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
588 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
591 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
594 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
596 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
597 - added tests for this (stevan)
599 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
600 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
601 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
602 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
606 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
607 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
608 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
609 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
611 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
612 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
613 - added tests for this (rafl)
615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
616 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
617 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
618 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
622 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
623 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
626 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
627 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
628 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
630 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
632 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
633 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
636 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
637 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
638 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
639 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
642 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
643 error message did not specify the attribute name
646 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
648 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
650 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
651 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
652 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
655 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
658 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
660 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
661 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
662 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
663 of fixes and formatting improvements.
665 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
667 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
668 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
669 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
670 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
673 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
674 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
677 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
678 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
679 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
680 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
682 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
683 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
684 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
685 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
686 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
689 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
690 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
691 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
692 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
693 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
695 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
696 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
697 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
698 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
699 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
700 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
702 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
703 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
705 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
706 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
707 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
708 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
711 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
714 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
718 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
719 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
721 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
722 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
723 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
726 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
728 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
731 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
732 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
733 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
736 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
739 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
740 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
742 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
744 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
747 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
748 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
749 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
750 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
751 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
752 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
755 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
756 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
757 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
758 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
759 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
760 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
761 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
762 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
763 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
765 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
767 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
768 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
771 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
772 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
773 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
775 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
776 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
777 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
778 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
779 same methods for a single role did not work
780 right (worked just fine with multiple
782 - added test for this (stevan)
784 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
785 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
786 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
789 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
790 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
791 - added test for this (t0m)
794 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
795 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
796 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
799 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
800 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
801 - added test for this (t0m)
803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
804 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
805 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
806 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
807 - added test for this (perigrin)
810 - create method for constructing a role
812 - added test for this (Sartak)
813 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
814 - added test for this (Sartak)
817 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
819 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
820 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
821 methods is useful (Sartak)
823 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
825 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
829 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
830 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
831 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
832 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
833 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
834 - added tests for this (jdv79)
837 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
838 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
840 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
841 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
842 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
843 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
844 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
846 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
848 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
849 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
850 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
853 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
854 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
855 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
856 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
857 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
858 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
862 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
863 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
864 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
865 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
866 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
867 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
868 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
869 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
870 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
871 future. (jnapiorkowski)
873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
874 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
878 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
879 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
880 type. (jnapiorkowski)
881 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
883 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
885 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
886 predicate, and link to more details sections in
887 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
890 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
893 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
894 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
895 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
898 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
899 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
901 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
903 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
904 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
907 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
908 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
913 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
914 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
916 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
917 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
920 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
921 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
922 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
923 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
924 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
925 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
926 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
928 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
929 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
930 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
932 * Roles and role application
933 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
934 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
935 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
936 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
937 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
939 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
940 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
943 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
944 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
945 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
946 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
947 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
950 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
951 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
952 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
953 changes in the Moose internals.
955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
957 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
961 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
962 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
963 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
966 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
967 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
968 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
971 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
972 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
973 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
974 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
975 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
976 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
977 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
978 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
979 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
980 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
981 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
982 constraint implementations.
984 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
988 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
989 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
990 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
991 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
992 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
993 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
994 - added tests for this (rafl)
997 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
998 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
999 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1000 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1001 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1002 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1003 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1007 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1008 - added tests for this (thepler)
1010 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1011 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1012 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1013 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1016 * Moose::Meta::Class
1017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1018 * Moose::Meta::Method
1021 * Moose::Error::Default
1022 * Moose::Error::Croak
1023 * Moose::Error::Confess
1024 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1025 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1026 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1027 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1028 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1029 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1031 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1033 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1034 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Unsweetened
1037 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1038 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1039 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1042 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1043 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1044 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1045 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1048 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1049 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1051 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1052 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1053 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1054 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1057 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1059 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1060 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1062 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1065 - Various bug fixes.
1067 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1068 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1070 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1072 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1073 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1074 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1075 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1076 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1077 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1079 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1080 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1081 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1085 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1088 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1089 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1090 dependency to 0.64_07.
1092 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1093 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1094 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1096 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1097 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1101 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1102 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1103 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1104 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1105 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1107 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1108 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1110 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1112 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1113 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1117 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1118 method when that method was provided by another role being
1119 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1120 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1122 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1124 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1125 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1128 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1129 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1130 - added test for this (t0m)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1133 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1134 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1136 - added test for this (t0m)
1139 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1140 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1141 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1145 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1147 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1149 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1150 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1152 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1153 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1154 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1157 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1161 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1162 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1163 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1167 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1168 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1169 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1173 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1174 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1175 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1178 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1182 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1183 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1184 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1186 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1188 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1189 created so that the process can be more easily
1190 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1193 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1194 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1195 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1198 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1201 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1202 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1205 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1206 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1208 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1209 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1210 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1212 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1213 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1216 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1220 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1224 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1225 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1227 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1228 ... this is not my day today ...
1230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1231 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1232 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1233 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1234 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1237 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1238 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1239 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1240 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1241 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1244 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1246 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1247 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1248 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1249 this is not ever something you want to do
1250 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1251 - added tests for this (stevan)
1254 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1256 - added test for this
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1260 - added tests for this (wreis)
1262 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1263 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1264 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1265 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1268 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1269 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1272 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1274 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1276 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1279 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1280 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1281 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1282 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1283 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1284 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1285 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1286 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1287 - added tests for this
1289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1290 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1291 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1292 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1294 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1297 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1298 - added tests for this (sartak)
1299 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1300 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1303 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1305 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1306 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1310 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1311 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1313 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1315 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1316 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1319 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1320 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1321 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1324 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1325 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1327 - added docs for this (TODO).
1328 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1329 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1330 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1331 - fix builder and default both being used
1336 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1338 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1339 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1340 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1344 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1348 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1349 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1350 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1353 - move the ClassName type check code to
1354 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1356 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1357 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1359 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1360 (early morning release engineering)--
1362 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1363 which was causing the indexer to choke
1365 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1366 (late night release engineering)--
1368 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

1371 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1372 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1373 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1375 * Moose::Meta::Class
1376 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1377 since it is called so often by &meta
1379 * Moose::Meta::Class

1382 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1386 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1387 method for immutablization to check if the
1388 destructor object even needs to be created

1392 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1393 - added more descriptive error message to help
1394 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1395 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1397 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1399 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1400 XS based functionality is now optional
1401 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1402 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1403 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1405 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1406 to take care of this, mostly we added
1407 support for the package_name and name
1408 variables in all the Method metaclasses

1410 support regexp matching of names
1411 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1413 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1414 is currently not supported in roles,
1415 but, ... patches welcome
1416 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1417 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1418 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1421 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1422 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1423 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1424 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1425 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1426 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1427 - added test for this
1429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1430 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1431 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1434 * Moose::Meta::Class
1435 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1439 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1441 - added tests for this
1442 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1443 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1446 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1447 themselves parameterizable types
1449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1450 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1451 called by the inlined immutable
1453 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1455 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1456 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1457 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1458 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1460 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1461 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1465 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

1473 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1476 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1477 ->body when looping through the
1478 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1480 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1481 eating the $@ values, and so not
1482 working correctly, it still kind of
1483 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1484 - added tests for this

1506 drink more coffee before
1507 doing release engineering
1509 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1514 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1515 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1624 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1626 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1960 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1963 - fixed how required methods are handled
1964 when they encounter overriden or modified
1965 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1966 - added tests for this
1968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1969 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1970 the | always creates a union and so is
1971 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1972 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1974 - added more tests for this
1976 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1979 * Parameterized Types
1980 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1981 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1982 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1983 They can also be nested:
1984 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1985 And work with the type unions as well:
1986 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1988 * Better Framework Extendability
1989 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1990 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1991 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1992 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1995 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1996 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1997 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1998 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2170 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2173 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2174 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2175 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2176 - added tests for this
2178 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2180 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2202 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2204 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2206 so this release is just to fix that.
2209 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2210 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2211 (thanks to konobi for this)

2223 functions to facilitate introspection.
2225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2226 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2227 to build the list of delegated methods

2229 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2231 - added tests and docs for this
2232 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2233 so that you can actually document your
2234 attributes and inspect them through the
2236 - added tests and docs for this
2238 * Moose::Meta::Class
2239 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2240 it will first look in for the class in the
2241 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2242 then default to just loading $name.
2243 - added tests and docs for this
2245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2246 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2247 - added test for this
2250 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2251 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2252 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2253 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2255 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2256 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2259 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2261 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2262 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2263 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2266 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2267 !! for this developer release to work !!
2269 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2270 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2271 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2272 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2273 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2274 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2275 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2276 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2277 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2278 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2279 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2281 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2282 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2283 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2284 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2287 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2289 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2290 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2291 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2293 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2295 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2296 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2299 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2300 called unless they actually need to be.
2301 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2302 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2303 DEMOLISH method present.
2305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2307 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2308 type constraint, which allows for a
2309 hand optimized version of the type
2310 constraint to be used when possible.
2311 - Any internally created type constraints
2312 now provide an optimized version as well.
2314 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2316 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2317 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2318 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2320 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2321 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2322 your class namespace of these exported
2325 * Moose::Meta::Class
2326 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2327 comes up during global destruction
2329 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2333 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2336 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2337 - changed how we do type checks so that
2338 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2341 - moved accessor generation methods to
2342 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2343 conform to the API changes from
2346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2347 - changed how constraints are compiled
2348 so that we do less recursion and more
2349 iteration. This makes the type check
2351 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2355 - created this from methods formerly found in
2356 Moose::Meta::Attribute

2359 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2362 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2370 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2371 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2372 - added tests for this
2373 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2374 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2375 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2376 - removed tests for this
2378 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2380 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2381 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2382 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2385 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2386 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2387 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2389 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2390 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2391 comments for more info.
2394 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2395 asked questions and common problems
2397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2398 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2399 - added tests for this
2401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2402 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2403 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2404 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2406 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2407 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2410 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2411 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2412 is much appreciated :)
2413 - added tests for this
2415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2416 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2417 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2420 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2421 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2423 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2425 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2426 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2430 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2431 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2432 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2434 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2436 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2439 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2440 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2441 keywords because we need to localize them.
2442 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2444 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2445 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2446 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2449 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2453 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2454 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2457 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2458 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2459 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2461 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2463 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2464 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2465 bottom of your class file.
2468 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2471 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2473 - improved error message when loading modules so
2474 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2475 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2476 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2479 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2480 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2481 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2484 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2486 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2487 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2488 turn them on for you.
2489 - added tests for this

2518 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2519 - This release works in combination with
2520 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2521 release because it uses the a new
2522 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2523 complete Role implementation. It has
2524 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2525 the the previous CPAN version. This
2526 release also lacks good updated docs,
2527 the official release will have updated docs.
2530 - refactored the keyword exports
2531 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2532 accepts more than one Role at a time

2551 - much work done on the role composition
2552 - many new tests for conflict detection
2553 and composition edge cases
2554 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2555 looking at the tests

2580 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2581 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2582 on a per-attribute basis
2583 - added tests for this
2584 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2585 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
