1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
8 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
9 - Major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish between
10 metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the Moose::Util::MetaRole
11 docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
14 - The unimport subs it generates now clean up re-exported functions like
15 blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere
18 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
19 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
20 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
21 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
23 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
24 - This recipe was broken. Fix suggested by jrey.
27 - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
28 of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
31 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
32 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
35 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
37 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
38 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
40 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
41 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
43 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
45 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
49 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
52 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
53 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
55 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
56 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
57 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
59 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
60 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
63 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
64 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
67 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
68 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
69 remove_accessors. (doy)
71 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
72 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
73 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
75 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
76 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
78 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
79 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
80 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
81 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
84 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
85 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
87 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
88 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
90 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
92 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
93 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
96 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
97 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
98 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
99 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
100 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
102 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
105 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
106 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
107 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
108 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
111 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
112 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
113 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
114 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
115 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
117 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
118 which were not receiving the value of
119 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
120 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
121 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
122 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
126 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
127 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
128 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
129 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
130 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
134 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
135 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
136 - added tests for this (Stevan)
139 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
140 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
141 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
144 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
145 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
146 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
149 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
150 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
153 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
154 class if you pass it options for
155 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
156 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
157 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
158 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
159 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
160 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
161 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
162 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
163 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
165 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
166 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
167 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
168 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
169 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
172 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
173 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
174 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
175 existing delegation API. (hdp)
177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
178 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
179 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
180 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
181 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
182 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
185 * Moose::Error::Croak
186 * Moose::Error::Confess
187 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
188 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
191 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
194 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
195 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
196 installing a broken sub. (doy)
199 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
202 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
203 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
204 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
206 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
207 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
208 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
209 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
210 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
213 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
216 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
218 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
219 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
222 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
223 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
227 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
228 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
231 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
232 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
233 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
234 using it for new code!
236 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
238 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
239 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
241 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
242 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
243 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
244 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
245 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
246 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
247 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
248 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
251 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
254 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
255 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
259 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
262 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
263 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
267 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
268 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
271 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
272 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
275 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
276 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
279 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
280 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
281 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
282 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
283 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
284 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
286 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
288 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
292 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
293 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
295 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
296 associated_methods. (hdp)
297 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
298 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
299 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
300 misspelled) arguments
302 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
303 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
304 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
305 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
309 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
311 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
315 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
316 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
319 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
320 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
322 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
324 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
325 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
327 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
328 * Moose::Manual::Types
329 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
330 string parsing rathole (mst)
332 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
333 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
334 using plain objects instead
336 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
337 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
340 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
342 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
343 three times today (perigrin)
344 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
345 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
348 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
349 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
350 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
353 - A role's required methods are now represented by
354 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
355 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
356 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
357 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
358 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
361 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
362 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
363 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
364 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
367 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
369 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
372 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
374 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
377 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
378 during global destruction. This method has been made more
379 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
383 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
384 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
387 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
388 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
390 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
391 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
392 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
395 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
397 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
398 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
401 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
405 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
406 methods during global destruction (doy)
409 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
410 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
414 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
415 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
418 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
419 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
422 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
423 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
425 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
427 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
431 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
432 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
433 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
436 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
437 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
438 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
441 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
443 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
444 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
445 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
448 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
449 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
450 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
451 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
453 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
454 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
455 of the Moose core (Sartak)
458 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
461 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
462 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
463 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
467 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
468 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
471 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
473 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
476 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
477 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
480 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
481 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
484 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
485 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
488 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
491 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
493 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
494 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
498 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
501 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
504 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
505 * More deprecations and renamings
506 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
507 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
508 when an object is constructed)
511 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
512 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
513 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
515 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
516 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
517 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
518 feature, and it works again.
521 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
523 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
525 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
526 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
527 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
530 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
531 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
532 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
533 message. Test provided by perigrin.
535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
536 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
537 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
538 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
539 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
542 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
543 metaclass object. (hdp)
545 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
546 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
547 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
548 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
549 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
550 point out this fact. (hdp)
552 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
553 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
555 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
556 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
560 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
561 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
562 called during instance construction were passed the
563 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
564 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
566 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
567 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
570 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
571 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
572 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
575 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
576 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
577 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
578 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
579 them, but they are not for "public" use.
582 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
584 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
585 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
586 when an object is constructed)
587 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
589 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
590 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
591 when an object is constructed)
592 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
593 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
594 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
597 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
599 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
600 * No changes from 0.72_01.
602 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
604 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
605 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
606 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
609 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
610 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
612 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
614 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
615 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
617 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
618 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
621 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
622 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
625 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
626 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
627 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
630 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
634 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
635 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
636 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
639 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
642 * Moose::Manual::Delta
643 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
644 with recommended workarounds.
646 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
647 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
650 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
651 (yes, spelled like that).
653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
654 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
657 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
658 changes in latest Class::MOP.
660 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
663 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
664 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
665 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
666 instead. Reported by doy.
668 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
670 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
671 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
674 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
675 message) is now deprecated.
676 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
677 often got it wrong. For example:
679 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
681 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
685 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
686 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
687 bite you in weird cases.
689 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
690 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
691 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
694 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
695 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
699 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
702 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
703 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
706 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
707 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
709 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
710 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
713 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
715 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
716 - added tests for this (stevan)
718 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
719 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
720 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
721 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
725 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
726 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
727 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
728 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
730 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
731 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
732 - added tests for this (rafl)
734 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
735 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
736 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
737 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
741 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
742 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
745 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
746 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
747 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
749 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
751 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
752 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
755 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
756 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
757 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
758 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
761 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
762 error message did not specify the attribute name
765 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
767 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
769 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
770 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
771 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
774 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
777 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
779 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
780 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
781 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
782 of fixes and formatting improvements.
784 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
786 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
787 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
788 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
789 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
791 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
792 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
793 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
796 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
797 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
798 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
799 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
802 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
803 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
804 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
805 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
808 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
809 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
810 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
811 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
812 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
814 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
815 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
816 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
817 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
818 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
819 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
821 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
822 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
824 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
825 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
826 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
827 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
829 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
830 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
833 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
837 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
838 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
840 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
841 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
842 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
845 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
846 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
847 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
850 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
851 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
852 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
855 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
858 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
859 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
861 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
863 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
866 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
867 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
868 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
869 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
870 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
871 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
874 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
875 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
876 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
877 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
878 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
879 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
880 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
881 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
882 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
884 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
886 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
887 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
890 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
891 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
892 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
894 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
895 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
896 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
897 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
898 same methods for a single role did not work
899 right (worked just fine with multiple
901 - added test for this (stevan)
903 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
904 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
905 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
908 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
909 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
910 - added test for this (t0m)
913 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
914 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
915 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
918 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
919 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
920 - added test for this (t0m)
922 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
923 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
924 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
925 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
926 - added test for this (perigrin)
929 - create method for constructing a role
931 - added test for this (Sartak)
932 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
933 - added test for this (Sartak)
936 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
938 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
939 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
940 methods is useful (Sartak)
942 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
944 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
948 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
949 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
950 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
951 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
952 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
953 - added tests for this (jdv79)
956 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
957 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
959 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
960 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
961 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
962 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
963 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
965 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
967 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
968 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
969 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
972 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
973 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
974 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
975 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
976 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
977 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
981 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
982 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
983 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
984 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
985 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
986 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
987 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
988 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
989 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
990 future. (jnapiorkowski)
992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
993 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
997 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
998 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
999 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1000 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1002 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1004 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1005 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1006 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1009 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1012 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1013 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1014 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1017 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1018 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1020 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1022 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1023 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1025 * Moose::Meta::Class
1026 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1027 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1028 a required attribute
1030 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1032 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1033 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1036 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1038 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1039 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1040 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1041 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1042 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1043 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1044 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1045 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1048 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1049 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1051 * Roles and role application
1052 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1053 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1054 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1055 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1056 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1058 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1059 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1063 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1064 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1065 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1066 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1069 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1070 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1071 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1072 changes in the Moose internals.
1074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1076 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1079 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1080 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1081 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1082 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1084 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1085 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1086 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1087 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1090 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1091 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1092 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1093 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1094 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1095 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1096 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1097 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1098 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1099 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1100 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1101 constraint implementations.
1103 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1107 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1108 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1109 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1110 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1111 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1112 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1113 - added tests for this (rafl)
1115 * Moose::Meta::Class
1116 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1117 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1118 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1119 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1120 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1121 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1122 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1126 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1127 - added tests for this (thepler)
1129 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1130 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1131 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1132 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1135 * Moose::Meta::Class
1136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1137 * Moose::Meta::Method
1140 * Moose::Error::Default
1141 * Moose::Error::Croak
1142 * Moose::Error::Confess
1143 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1144 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1145 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1146 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1147 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1148 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1150 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1152 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1153 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 * Moose::Unsweetened
1156 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1157 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1158 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1161 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1162 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1163 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1164 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1167 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1168 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1170 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1171 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1172 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1173 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1176 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1178 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1179 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1181 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1184 - Various bug fixes.
1186 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1187 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1189 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1191 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1192 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1193 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1194 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1195 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1196 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1199 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1200 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1203 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1204 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1207 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1208 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1209 dependency to 0.64_07.
1211 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1212 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1213 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1216 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1219 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1220 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1221 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1222 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1223 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1224 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1226 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1227 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1229 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1232 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1236 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1237 method when that method was provided by another role being
1238 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1239 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1241 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1243 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1244 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1247 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1248 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1249 - added test for this (t0m)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1252 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1253 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1255 - added test for this (t0m)
1258 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1259 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1260 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1264 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1266 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1268 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1269 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1272 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1273 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1275 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1276 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1279 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1280 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1281 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1282 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1286 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1287 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1288 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1291 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1292 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1293 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1294 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1297 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1301 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1302 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1303 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1305 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1307 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1308 created so that the process can be more easily
1309 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1311 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1312 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1313 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1314 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1316 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1317 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1320 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1321 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1324 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1325 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1328 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1329 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1331 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1332 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1335 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1338 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1339 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1343 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1344 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1346 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1347 ... this is not my day today ...
1349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1350 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1351 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1352 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1353 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1356 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1357 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1358 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1359 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1360 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1363 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1365 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1366 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1367 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1368 this is not ever something you want to do
1369 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1370 - added tests for this (stevan)
1373 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1375 - added test for this

1398 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1399 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1400 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1401 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1402 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1403 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1404 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1405 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1406 - added tests for this
1408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1409 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1410 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1411 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1413 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1516 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1518 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1519 XS based functionality is now optional
1520 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1521 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1522 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1625 drink more coffee before
1626 doing release engineering
1628 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2035 with work correctly.
2036 - added tests for this
2039 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2040 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2044 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2045 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

2079 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2082 - fixed how required methods are handled
2083 when they encounter overriden or modified
2084 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2085 - added tests for this
2087 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2088 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2089 the | always creates a union and so is
2090 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2091 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2093 - added more tests for this
2095 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2098 * Parameterized Types
2099 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2100 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2101 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2102 They can also be nested:
2103 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2104 And work with the type unions as well:
2105 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2107 * Better Framework Extendability
2108 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2109 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2110 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2111 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2114 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2115 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2116 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2117 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2120 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2122 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2123 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2157 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2158 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2159 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2161 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2162 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2182 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2183 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2185 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2202 (thanks to shlomif).
2204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2205 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2206 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2207 - added tests for this

2244 - added tests for these
2246 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2247 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2250 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2265 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2271 the other side (perigrin)
2273 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2275 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2276 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2277 prototypes for functions
2278 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2279 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2289 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2292 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2293 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2294 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2295 - added tests for this
2297 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2299 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2317 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2318 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2320 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2321 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2323 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2324 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2325 so this release is just to fix that.
2328 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2329 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2330 (thanks to konobi for this)
2331 - added tests and docs
2333 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2334 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2336 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2337 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2338 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2339 - added tests for this

2341 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2342 functions to facilitate introspection.
2344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2345 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2346 to build the list of delegated methods
2347 correctly (and not override important
2348 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2350 - added tests and docs for this
2351 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2352 so that you can actually document your
2353 attributes and inspect them through the
2355 - added tests and docs for this
2357 * Moose::Meta::Class
2358 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2359 it will first look in for the class in the
2360 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2361 then default to just loading $name.
2362 - added tests and docs for this
2364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2365 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2366 - added test for this
2369 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2370 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2371 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2372 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2374 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2375 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2378 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2380 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2381 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2382 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2385 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2386 !! for this developer release to work !!
2388 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2389 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2390 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2391 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2392 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2393 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2394 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2395 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2396 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2397 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2398 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2400 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2401 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2402 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2403 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2406 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2408 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2409 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2410 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2412 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2414 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2415 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2418 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2419 called unless they actually need to be.
2420 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2421 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2422 DEMOLISH method present.
2424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2426 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2427 type constraint, which allows for a
2428 hand optimized version of the type
2429 constraint to be used when possible.
2430 - Any internally created type constraints
2431 now provide an optimized version as well.
2433 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2435 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2436 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2437 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2440 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2441 your class namespace of these exported
2444 * Moose::Meta::Class
2445 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2446 comes up during global destruction
2448 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2452 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2456 - changed how we do type checks so that
2457 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2460 - moved accessor generation methods to
2461 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2462 conform to the API changes from
2465 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2466 - changed how constraints are compiled
2467 so that we do less recursion and more
2468 iteration. This makes the type check
2470 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2474 - created this from methods formerly found in
2475 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2477 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2478 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2481 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2484 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2486 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2489 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2490 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2491 - added tests for this
2492 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2493 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2494 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2495 - removed tests for this
2497 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2499 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2500 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2501 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2504 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2505 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2506 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2508 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2509 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2510 comments for more info.
2513 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2514 asked questions and common problems
2516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2517 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2518 - added tests for this
2520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2521 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2522 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2523 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2525 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2526 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2529 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2530 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2531 is much appreciated :)
2532 - added tests for this
2534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2535 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2536 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2540 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2542 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2544 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2545 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2549 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2550 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2551 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2553 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2555 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2558 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2559 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2560 keywords because we need to localize them.
2561 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2563 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2564 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2565 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2568 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2571 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2572 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2573 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2576 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2577 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2578 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2580 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2582 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2583 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2584 bottom of your class file.
2587 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2590 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2592 - improved error message when loading modules so
2593 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2594 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2595 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2598 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2599 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2600 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2602 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2603 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2605 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2606 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2607 turn them on for you.
2608 - added tests for this
2609 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2610 in Moose::Meta::Class
2613 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2614 automatically turned on for you.
2615 - added tests for this
2618 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2619 - added tests for this
2620 - added some more edge case tests

2632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2633 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2636 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2637 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2638 - This release works in combination with
2639 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2640 release because it uses the a new
2641 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2642 complete Role implementation. It has
2643 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2644 the the previous CPAN version. This
2645 release also lacks good updated docs,
2646 the official release will have updated docs.
2649 - refactored the keyword exports
2650 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2651 accepts more than one Role at a time
2652 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2653 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2656 - refactored the keyword exports
2657 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2658 accepts more than one Role at a time
2660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2661 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2662 string enumerations which can be used as
2664 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2667 - more careful checking of params to new()
2670 - much work done on the role composition
2671 - many new tests for conflict detection
2672 and composition edge cases
2673 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2674 looking at the tests
2676 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2677 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2678 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2680 * Moose::Meta::Class
2681 - some small changes to support the new
2683 - some small additions to support Roles
2685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2686 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2688 - some small changes to support the new
2690 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2691 with the 'handles' option
2692 - added several tests for this
2693 - no docs for this yet
2695 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2697 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2698 thanks to chansen for this commit
2699 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2700 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2701 on a per-attribute basis
2702 - added tests for this
2703 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2704 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2705 experimental feature and probably not finished
2706 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2707 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2708 - added tests for this
2711 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2713 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
2714 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
2715 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
2717 - added some tests for this
2718 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2719 thanks to chansen for this commit
2721 * Moose::Meta::Class
2722 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2723 construct_instance (for the better)
2725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2726 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2727 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
2729 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2730 - added type constraint unions
2731 - added tests for this
2732 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method
