1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
7 existing delegation API. (hdp)
9 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
10 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
11 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
12 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
13 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
14 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
18 * Moose::Error::Confess
19 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
20 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
23 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
26 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
27 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
28 installing a broken sub. (doy)
31 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
32 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
34 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
35 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
36 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
37 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
38 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
40 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
41 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
44 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
46 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
47 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
50 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
51 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
53 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
54 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
55 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
56 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
58 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
59 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
60 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
61 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
62 using it for new code!
64 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
65 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
66 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
67 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
70 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
71 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
72 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
73 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
74 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
75 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
76 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
79 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
82 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
83 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
86 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
87 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
89 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
90 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
91 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
94 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
95 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
96 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
99 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
100 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
103 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
104 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
107 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
109 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
110 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
111 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
112 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
114 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
116 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
120 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
121 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
123 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
124 associated_methods. (hdp)
125 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
126 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
127 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
128 misspelled) arguments
130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
131 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
132 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
133 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
137 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
139 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
143 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
144 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
147 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
148 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
150 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
152 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
153 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
155 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
156 * Moose::Manual::Types
157 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
158 string parsing rathole (mst)
160 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
161 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
162 using plain objects instead
164 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
165 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
168 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
170 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
171 three times today (perigrin)
172 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
173 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
176 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
177 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
178 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
181 - A role's required methods are now represented by
182 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
183 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
184 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
185 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
186 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
189 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
190 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
191 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
192 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
195 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
197 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
200 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
202 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
205 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
206 during global destruction. This method has been made more
207 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
211 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
212 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
215 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
216 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
218 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
219 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
220 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
223 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
225 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
226 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
229 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
233 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
234 methods during global destruction (doy)
237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
238 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
242 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
243 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
246 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
247 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
250 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
251 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
253 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
255 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
259 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
260 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
261 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
264 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
265 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
266 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
269 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
271 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
273 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
277 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
278 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
279 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
281 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
282 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
283 of the Moose core (Sartak)
286 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
289 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
290 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
291 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
295 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
296 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
299 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
301 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
304 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
305 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
308 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
309 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
312 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
313 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
316 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
319 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
322 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
326 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
329 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
332 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
333 * More deprecations and renamings
334 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
335 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
336 when an object is constructed)
339 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
340 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
341 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
344 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
345 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
346 feature, and it works again.
349 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
351 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
353 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
354 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
355 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
358 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
359 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
360 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
361 message. Test provided by perigrin.
363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
364 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
365 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
366 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
367 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
370 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
371 metaclass object. (hdp)
373 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
374 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
375 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
377 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
378 point out this fact. (hdp)
380 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
381 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
383 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
384 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
388 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
389 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
390 called during instance construction were passed the
391 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
392 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
394 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
395 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
398 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
399 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
400 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
403 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
404 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
405 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
406 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
407 them, but they are not for "public" use.
410 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
412 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
413 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
414 when an object is constructed)
415 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
417 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
418 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
419 when an object is constructed)
420 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
421 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
422 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
425 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
427 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
428 * No changes from 0.72_01.
430 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
432 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
433 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
434 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
437 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
438 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
440 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
442 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
443 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
445 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
446 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
449 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
450 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
453 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
454 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
455 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
457 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
458 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
462 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
463 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
464 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
467 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
470 * Moose::Manual::Delta
471 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
472 with recommended workarounds.
474 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
475 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
478 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
479 (yes, spelled like that).
481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
482 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
485 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
486 changes in latest Class::MOP.
488 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
491 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
492 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
493 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
494 instead. Reported by doy.
496 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
498 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
499 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
502 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
503 message) is now deprecated.
504 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
505 often got it wrong. For example:
507 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
509 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
513 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
514 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
515 bite you in weird cases.
517 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
518 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
519 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
522 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
523 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
527 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
530 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
531 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
534 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
535 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
537 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
538 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
541 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
543 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
544 - added tests for this (stevan)
546 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
547 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
548 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
549 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
553 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
554 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
555 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
556 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
558 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
559 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
560 - added tests for this (rafl)
562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
563 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
564 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
565 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
569 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
570 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
573 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
574 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
575 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
577 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
579 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
580 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
583 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
584 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
585 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
586 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
589 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
590 error message did not specify the attribute name
593 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
595 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
597 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
598 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
599 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
602 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
605 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
607 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
608 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
609 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
610 of fixes and formatting improvements.
612 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
614 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
615 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
616 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
617 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
620 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
621 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
623 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
624 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
625 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
626 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
627 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
629 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
630 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
631 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
632 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
633 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
636 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
637 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
638 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
639 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
640 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
642 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
643 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
644 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
645 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
646 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
647 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
649 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
650 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
652 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
653 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
654 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
655 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
658 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
661 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
665 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
666 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
668 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
669 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
670 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
673 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
675 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
678 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
679 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
680 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
683 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
686 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
687 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
689 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
691 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
694 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
695 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
696 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
697 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
698 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
699 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
701 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
702 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
703 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
704 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
705 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
706 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
707 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
708 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
709 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
710 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
712 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
714 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
715 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
718 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
719 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
720 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
722 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
723 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
724 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
725 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
726 same methods for a single role did not work
727 right (worked just fine with multiple
729 - added test for this (stevan)
731 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
732 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
733 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
736 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
737 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
738 - added test for this (t0m)
741 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
742 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
743 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
746 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
747 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
748 - added test for this (t0m)
750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
751 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
752 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
753 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
754 - added test for this (perigrin)
757 - create method for constructing a role
759 - added test for this (Sartak)
760 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
761 - added test for this (Sartak)
764 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
766 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
767 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
768 methods is useful (Sartak)
770 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
772 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
776 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
777 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
778 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
779 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
780 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
781 - added tests for this (jdv79)
784 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
785 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
787 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
788 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
789 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
790 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
791 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
793 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
795 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
796 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
797 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
800 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
801 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
802 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
803 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
804 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
805 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
809 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
810 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
811 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
812 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
813 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
814 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
815 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
816 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
817 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
818 future. (jnapiorkowski)
820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
821 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
825 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
826 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
827 type. (jnapiorkowski)
828 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
830 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
832 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
833 predicate, and link to more details sections in
834 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
837 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
840 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
841 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
842 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
845 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
846 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
848 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
850 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
851 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
854 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
855 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
858 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
860 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
861 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
863 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
864 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
867 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
868 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
869 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
870 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
871 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
872 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
873 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
875 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
876 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
877 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
879 * Roles and role application
880 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
881 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
882 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
883 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
884 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
886 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
887 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
890 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
891 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
892 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
893 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
894 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
897 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
898 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
899 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
900 changes in the Moose internals.
902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
904 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
908 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
909 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
910 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
913 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
914 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
915 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
918 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
919 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
920 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
921 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
922 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
923 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
924 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
925 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
926 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
927 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
928 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
929 constraint implementations.
931 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
935 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
936 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
937 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
938 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
939 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
940 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
941 - added tests for this (rafl)
944 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
945 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
946 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
947 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
948 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
949 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
950 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
951 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
954 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
955 - added tests for this (thepler)
957 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
958 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
959 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
960 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
965 * Moose::Meta::Method
968 * Moose::Error::Default
969 * Moose::Error::Croak
970 * Moose::Error::Confess
971 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
972 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
973 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
974 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
975 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
976 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
978 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
980 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
981 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
984 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
985 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
986 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
989 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
990 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
991 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
992 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
995 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
996 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
998 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
999 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1000 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1001 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1004 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1006 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1007 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1009 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1012 - Various bug fixes.
1014 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1015 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1017 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1019 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1020 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1021 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1022 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1023 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1024 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1027 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1028 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1030 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1031 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1032 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1035 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1036 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1037 dependency to 0.64_07.
1039 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1040 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1041 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1044 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1047 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1048 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1049 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1050 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1051 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1052 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1054 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1055 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1057 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1059 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1060 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1064 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1065 method when that method was provided by another role being
1066 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1069 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1071 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1072 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1075 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1076 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1077 - added test for this (t0m)
1079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1080 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1081 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1083 - added test for this (t0m)
1086 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1087 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1088 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1091 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1092 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1094 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1096 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1097 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1099 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1100 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1101 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1104 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1108 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1109 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1110 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1114 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1115 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1116 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1120 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1121 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1122 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1125 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1129 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1130 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1131 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1133 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1135 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1136 created so that the process can be more easily
1137 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1140 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1141 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1142 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1145 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1148 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1149 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1152 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1153 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1155 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1156 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1157 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1159 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1160 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1163 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1167 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1171 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1172 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1174 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1175 ... this is not my day today ...
1177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1178 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1179 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1180 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1181 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1184 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1185 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1186 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1187 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1188 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1191 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1193 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1194 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1195 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1196 this is not ever something you want to do
1197 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1198 - added tests for this (stevan)
1201 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1203 - added test for this
1205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1206 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1207 - added tests for this (wreis)
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1210 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1211 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1212 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1215 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1216 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1219 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1221 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1223 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1227 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1228 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1229 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1230 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1231 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1232 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1233 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1234 - added tests for this
1236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1237 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1238 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1239 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1241 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1244 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1245 - added tests for this (sartak)
1246 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1247 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1250 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1252 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1253 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1257 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1258 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1260 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1262 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1263 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1266 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1267 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1268 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1271 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1272 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1274 - added docs for this (TODO).
1275 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1276 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1277 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1278 - fix builder and default both being used
1283 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1285 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1286 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1287 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1291 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1295 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1296 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1297 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1300 - move the ClassName type check code to
1301 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1303 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1304 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1306 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1307 (early morning release engineering)--
1309 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1310 which was causing the indexer to choke
1312 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1313 (late night release engineering)--
1315 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1316 changes in this release
1318 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1319 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1320 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1322 * Moose::Meta::Class
1323 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1324 since it is called so often by &meta
1326 * Moose::Meta::Class
1328 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1329 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1333 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1334 method for immutablization to check if the
1335 destructor object even needs to be created
1338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1339 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1340 - added more descriptive error message to help
1341 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1342 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1344 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1346 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1347 XS based functionality is now optional
1348 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1349 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1350 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1352 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1353 to take care of this, mostly we added
1354 support for the package_name and name
1355 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1356 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1357 support regexp matching of names
1358 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1359 - tests added for this
1360 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1361 is currently not supported in roles,
1362 but, ... patches welcome
1363 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1364 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1365 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1368 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1369 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1370 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1371 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1372 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1373 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1374 - added test for this
1376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1377 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1378 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1381 * Moose::Meta::Class
1382 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1386 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1388 - added tests for this
1389 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function

1571 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1573 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1617 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1618 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1911 when they encounter overriden or modified
1912 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1913 - added tests for this

1919 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1921 - added more tests for this
1923 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1926 * Parameterized Types
1927 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1928 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1929 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1930 They can also be nested:
1931 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1932 And work with the type unions as well:
1933 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1935 * Better Framework Extendability
1936 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1937 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1938 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1939 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1942 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1943 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1944 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1945 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2078 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2079 to the 'handles' option.
2080 - added tests and docs for this
2081 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2082 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2083 (but not changing the handles option)
2084 - added tests and docs for this
2087 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2088 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2089 - adjusted tests for this
2091 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2092 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2093 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
2094 * Moose::Meta::Class
2095 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2096 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2098 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2099 the other side (perigrin)
2101 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2103 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2104 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2105 prototypes for functions
2106 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2107 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2108 - added tests and docs for this
2109 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2110 default for where be { 1 }
2111 - added test for this
2113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2114 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2115 merlyn for finding this bug
2116 - tests added for this
2117 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2120 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2121 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2122 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2123 - added tests for this
2125 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2127 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2128 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2129 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2132 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2134 * Moose::Meta::Class
2135 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2136 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2139 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2140 where not handled correctly in roles
2141 - added tests for this
2143 * Moose::Meta::Class
2144 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2145 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2146 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2148 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2149 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2151 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2152 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2153 so this release is just to fix that.
2156 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2157 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2158 (thanks to konobi for this)
2159 - added tests and docs
2161 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2162 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2165 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2166 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2167 - added tests for this
2168 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2169 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2170 functions to facilitate introspection.
2172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2173 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2174 to build the list of delegated methods
2175 correctly (and not override important
2176 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2178 - added tests and docs for this
2179 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2180 so that you can actually document your
2181 attributes and inspect them through the
2183 - added tests and docs for this
2185 * Moose::Meta::Class
2186 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2187 it will first look in for the class in the
2188 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2189 then default to just loading $name.
2190 - added tests and docs for this
2192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2193 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2194 - added test for this
2197 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2198 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2199 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2200 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2202 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2203 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2206 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2208 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2209 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2210 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2213 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2214 !! for this developer release to work !!
2216 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2217 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2218 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2219 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2220 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2221 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2222 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2223 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2224 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2225 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2226 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2228 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2229 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2230 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2231 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2234 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2236 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2237 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2238 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2240 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2242 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2243 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2246 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2247 called unless they actually need to be.
2248 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2249 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2250 DEMOLISH method present.
2252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2254 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2255 type constraint, which allows for a
2256 hand optimized version of the type
2257 constraint to be used when possible.
2258 - Any internally created type constraints
2259 now provide an optimized version as well.
2261 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2263 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2264 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2265 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2268 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2269 your class namespace of these exported
2272 * Moose::Meta::Class
2273 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2274 comes up during global destruction
2276 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2280 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2284 - changed how we do type checks so that
2285 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2288 - moved accessor generation methods to
2289 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2290 conform to the API changes from
2293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2294 - changed how constraints are compiled
2295 so that we do less recursion and more
2296 iteration. This makes the type check
2298 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2302 - created this from methods formerly found in
2303 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2305 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2306 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2309 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2311 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2312 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2314 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2317 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2318 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2319 - added tests for this
2320 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2321 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2322 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2323 - removed tests for this
2325 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2327 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2328 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2329 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2332 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2333 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2334 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2336 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2337 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2338 comments for more info.
2341 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2342 asked questions and common problems
2344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2345 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2346 - added tests for this
2348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2349 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2350 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2351 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2353 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2354 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2357 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2358 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2359 is much appreciated :)
2360 - added tests for this
2362 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2363 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2364 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2368 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2370 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2372 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2373 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2377 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2378 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2379 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2381 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2383 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2386 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2387 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2388 keywords because we need to localize them.
2389 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2391 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2392 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2393 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2396 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2400 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2401 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2404 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2405 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2406 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2408 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2410 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2411 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2412 bottom of your class file.
2415 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2418 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2420 - improved error message when loading modules so
2421 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2422 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2423 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2426 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2427 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2428 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2430 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2431 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2433 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2434 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2435 turn them on for you.
2436 - added tests for this

2465 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2466 - This release works in combination with
2467 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2468 release because it uses the a new
2469 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2470 complete Role implementation. It has
2471 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2472 the the previous CPAN version. This
2473 release also lacks good updated docs,
2474 the official release will have updated docs.
2477 - refactored the keyword exports
2478 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2479 accepts more than one Role at a time
2480 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2481 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2484 - refactored the keyword exports
2485 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2486 accepts more than one Role at a time
2488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2489 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2490 string enumerations which can be used as
2492 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2495 - more careful checking of params to new()
2498 - much work done on the role composition
2499 - many new tests for conflict detection
2500 and composition edge cases
2501 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2502 looking at the tests
2504 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2505 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2506 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2508 * Moose::Meta::Class

2527 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2528 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2529 on a per-attribute basis
2530 - added tests for this
2531 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2532 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2533 experimental feature and probably not finished

2535 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2536 - added tests for this
