1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 * mro::get_linear_isa is called as a function rather than a method
9 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
10 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
11 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
12 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
15 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
16 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
17 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
18 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
20 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
24 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
25 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
30 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
32 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
34 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
39 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
41 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
45 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
46 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
47 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
50 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
51 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
52 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
54 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
55 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
56 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
57 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
58 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
61 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
66 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
67 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
68 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
69 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
70 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
73 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
77 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
80 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
81 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
85 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
86 function (not just method). (doy)
90 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
91 and aren't easily installable/testable.
93 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
97 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
98 to be overridden more easily (doy).
100 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
104 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
105 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
107 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
111 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
112 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
113 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
115 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
119 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
120 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
121 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
123 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
124 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
128 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
129 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
131 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
132 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
136 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
137 is applied to a class (t0m).
139 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
140 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
142 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
145 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
146 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
148 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
149 be much more robust. (doy)
151 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
153 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
156 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
160 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
161 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
163 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
167 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
168 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
170 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
173 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
174 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
175 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
177 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
178 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
179 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
182 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
184 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
188 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
189 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
193 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
195 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
200 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
204 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
205 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
209 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
211 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
215 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
216 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
220 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
221 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
225 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
226 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
228 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
232 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
233 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
234 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
237 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
241 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
242 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
243 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
244 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
246 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
250 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
251 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
252 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
256 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
259 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
264 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
265 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
269 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
270 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
272 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
273 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
274 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
275 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
277 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
281 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
285 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
286 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
288 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
289 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
290 - Moose::Util::does_role
291 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
292 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
293 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
295 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
299 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
300 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
301 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
304 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
308 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
309 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
312 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
316 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
317 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
320 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
324 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
326 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
327 class. (Dave Rolsky).
329 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
330 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
331 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
333 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
334 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
335 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
338 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
339 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
341 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
342 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
343 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
345 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
347 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
348 substr et al, again. (sorear)
350 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
352 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
355 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
356 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
358 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
359 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
361 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
362 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
363 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
364 dependencies installed.
366 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
367 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
370 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
372 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
376 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
379 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
380 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
383 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
384 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
386 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
387 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
390 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
391 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
392 others. (nothingmuch)
394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
395 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
396 remove_accessors. (doy)
398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
399 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
400 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
403 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
405 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
407 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
408 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
411 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
412 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
415 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
417 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
419 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
420 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
423 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
424 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
425 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
426 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
427 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
429 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
432 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
433 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
434 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
435 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
438 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
439 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
440 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
441 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
442 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
444 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
445 which were not receiving the value of
446 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
447 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
448 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
449 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
453 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
454 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
455 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
456 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
457 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
461 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
462 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
463 - added tests for this (Stevan)
466 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
467 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
468 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
471 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
473 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
476 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
477 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
480 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
481 class if you pass it options for
482 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
483 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
484 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
485 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
486 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
487 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
488 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
489 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
490 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
492 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
493 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
494 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
495 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
496 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
499 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
501 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
502 existing delegation API. (hdp)
504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
505 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
506 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
507 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
508 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
509 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
512 * Moose::Error::Croak
513 * Moose::Error::Confess
514 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
515 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
518 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
521 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
522 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
523 installing a broken sub. (doy)
526 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
529 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
530 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
531 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
533 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
534 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
535 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
536 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
537 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
540 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
543 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
545 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
546 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
549 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
550 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
554 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
555 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
558 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
559 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
560 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
561 using it for new code!
563 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
564 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
565 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
566 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
568 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
569 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
570 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
571 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
572 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
573 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
574 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
575 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
578 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
581 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
582 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
586 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
589 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
590 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
593 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
594 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
595 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
598 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
599 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
602 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
603 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
606 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
608 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
609 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
610 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
611 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
613 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
615 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
619 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
620 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
622 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
623 associated_methods. (hdp)
624 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
625 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
626 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
627 misspelled) arguments
629 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
630 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
631 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
632 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
636 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
638 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
642 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
643 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
646 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
647 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
649 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
651 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
652 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
654 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
655 * Moose::Manual::Types
656 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
657 string parsing rathole (mst)
659 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
660 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
661 using plain objects instead
663 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
664 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
667 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
669 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
670 three times today (perigrin)
671 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
672 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
675 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
676 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
677 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
680 - A role's required methods are now represented by
681 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
682 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
683 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
684 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
685 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
688 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
689 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
690 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
691 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
694 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
696 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
699 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
701 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
704 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
705 during global destruction. This method has been made more
706 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
710 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
711 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
714 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
715 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
717 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
718 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
719 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
722 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
724 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
725 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
728 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
732 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
733 methods during global destruction (doy)
736 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
737 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
741 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
742 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
745 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
746 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
749 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
750 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
752 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
754 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
758 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
759 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
760 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
763 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
764 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
765 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
768 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
770 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
771 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
772 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
775 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
776 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
777 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
778 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
780 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
781 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
782 of the Moose core (Sartak)
785 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
788 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
789 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
790 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
794 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
795 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
798 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
800 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
803 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
804 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
807 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
808 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
811 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
812 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
815 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
818 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
820 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
821 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
825 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
828 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
831 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
832 * More deprecations and renamings
833 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
834 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
835 when an object is constructed)
838 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
839 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
840 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
843 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
844 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
845 feature, and it works again.
848 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
850 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
852 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
853 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
854 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
856 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
857 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
858 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
859 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
860 message. Test provided by perigrin.
862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
863 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
864 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
865 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
866 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
869 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
870 metaclass object. (hdp)
872 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
873 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
874 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
875 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
876 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
877 point out this fact. (hdp)
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
880 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
882 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
883 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
886 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
887 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
888 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
889 called during instance construction were passed the
890 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
891 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
893 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
894 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
897 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
898 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
899 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
902 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
903 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
904 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
905 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
906 them, but they are not for "public" use.
909 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
911 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
912 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
913 when an object is constructed)
914 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
916 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
917 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
918 when an object is constructed)
919 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
920 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
921 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
924 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
926 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
927 * No changes from 0.72_01.
929 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
931 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
932 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
933 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
935 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
936 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
937 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
939 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
941 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
942 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
944 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
945 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
948 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
949 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
952 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
953 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
954 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
957 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
961 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
962 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
963 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
966 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
969 * Moose::Manual::Delta
970 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
971 with recommended workarounds.
973 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
974 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
977 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
978 (yes, spelled like that).
980 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
981 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
984 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
985 changes in latest Class::MOP.
987 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
990 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
991 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
992 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
993 instead. Reported by doy.
995 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
997 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
998 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1001 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1002 message) is now deprecated.
1003 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1004 often got it wrong. For example:
1006 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1008 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1012 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1013 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1014 bite you in weird cases.
1016 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1017 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1018 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1019 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1022 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1026 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1029 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1030 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1034 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1037 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1040 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1042 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1043 - added tests for this (stevan)
1045 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1046 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1047 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1048 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1052 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1053 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1054 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1055 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1057 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1058 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1059 - added tests for this (rafl)
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1062 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1063 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1064 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1068 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1069 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1073 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1074 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1076 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1078 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1079 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1081 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1082 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1083 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1084 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1085 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1088 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1089 error message did not specify the attribute name
1092 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1094 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1096 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1097 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1098 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1101 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1104 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1106 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1107 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1108 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1109 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1111 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1113 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1114 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1115 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1116 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1119 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1120 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1123 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1124 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1125 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1126 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1129 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1130 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1131 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1132 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1135 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1136 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1137 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1138 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1139 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1141 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1142 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1143 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1144 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1145 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1146 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1149 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1151 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1152 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1153 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1154 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1157 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1160 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1164 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1165 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1167 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1168 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1169 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1170 guts. (nothingmuch).
1172 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1174 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1177 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1178 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1179 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Class
1182 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1185 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1186 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1189 * Moose::Unsweetened
1190 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1193 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1194 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1195 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1196 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1197 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1198 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1201 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1202 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1203 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1204 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1205 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1206 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1208 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1209 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1213 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1214 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1217 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1218 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1219 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1221 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1222 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1223 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1224 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1225 same methods for a single role did not work
1226 right (worked just fine with multiple
1228 - added test for this (stevan)
1230 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1231 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1232 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1235 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1236 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1237 - added test for this (t0m)
1240 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1241 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1242 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1245 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1246 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1247 - added test for this (t0m)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1250 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1251 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1252 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1253 - added test for this (perigrin)
1256 - create method for constructing a role
1257 dynamically (Sartak)
1258 - added test for this (Sartak)
1259 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1260 - added test for this (Sartak)
1263 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1265 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1266 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1267 methods is useful (Sartak)
1269 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1271 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1274 * Moose::Meta::Class
1275 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1276 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1277 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1278 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1279 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1280 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1283 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1284 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1288 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1289 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1290 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1294 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1295 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1299 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1300 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1301 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1302 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1303 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1304 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1308 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1309 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1310 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1311 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1312 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1313 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1314 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1315 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1316 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1317 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1319 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1320 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1323 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1324 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1325 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1326 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1327 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1329 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1331 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1332 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1333 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1336 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1339 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1340 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1341 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1345 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1347 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1349 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1350 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Class
1353 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1354 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1355 a required attribute
1357 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1358 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1359 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1360 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1362 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1363 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1366 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1367 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1368 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1369 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1370 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1371 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1372 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1374 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1375 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1376 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1378 * Roles and role application
1379 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1380 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1381 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1382 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1383 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1385 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1386 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1390 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1391 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1392 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1393 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1396 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1397 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1398 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1399 changes in the Moose internals.
1401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1403 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1406 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1407 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1408 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1409 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1411 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1412 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1413 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1414 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1417 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1418 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1419 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1420 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1421 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1422 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1423 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1424 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1425 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1426 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1427 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1428 constraint implementations.
1430 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1434 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1435 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1436 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1437 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1438 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1439 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1440 - added tests for this (rafl)
1442 * Moose::Meta::Class
1443 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1444 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1445 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1446 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1447 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1448 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1449 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1453 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1454 - added tests for this (thepler)
1456 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1457 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1458 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1459 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1462 * Moose::Meta::Class
1463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1464 * Moose::Meta::Method
1467 * Moose::Error::Default
1468 * Moose::Error::Croak
1469 * Moose::Error::Confess
1470 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1471 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1472 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1473 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1474 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1475 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1477 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1479 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1480 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1482 * Moose::Unsweetened
1483 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1484 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1485 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1488 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1489 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1490 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1491 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1494 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1495 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1497 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1498 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1499 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1500 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1503 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1505 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1506 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1508 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1511 - Various bug fixes.

1516 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1518 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1519 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1520 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1521 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1522 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1523 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

1535 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1536 dependency to 0.64_07.
1538 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1539 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1540 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1543 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1547 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1548 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1549 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1550 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1551 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1554 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1556 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1558 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1559 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1563 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1564 method when that method was provided by another role being
1565 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1568 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1575 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1576 - added test for this (t0m)
1578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1579 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1580 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1582 - added test for this (t0m)
1585 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1586 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1587 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1591 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1593 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1595 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1596 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1598 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1599 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1600 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1603 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1606 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1608 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1609 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1613 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1614 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1615 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1618 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1619 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1620 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1621 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1624 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1628 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1630 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1632 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1634 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1635 created so that the process can be more easily

1670 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1671 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1673 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1674 ... this is not my day today ...
1676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1677 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1678 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1679 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1680 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1683 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1684 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1685 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1686 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1687 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1690 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1692 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1693 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1694 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1695 this is not ever something you want to do
1696 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1697 - added tests for this (stevan)
1700 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1702 - added test for this

1711 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1713 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1714 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1715 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1718 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1720 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1722 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1725 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1726 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1727 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1728 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1729 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1730 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1731 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1732 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 - added tests for this
1735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1736 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1737 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1738 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1740 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1809 which was causing the indexer to choke
1811 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1812 (late night release engineering)--
1814 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1815 changes in this release

1828 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1832 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1833 method for immutablization to check if the
1834 destructor object even needs to be created
1837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1838 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1839 - added more descriptive error message to help
1840 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1841 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1843 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1845 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1846 XS based functionality is now optional
1847 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1848 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1849 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1851 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1852 to take care of this, mostly we added
1853 support for the package_name and name
1854 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1855 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1856 support regexp matching of names
1857 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1858 - tests added for this
1859 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1860 is currently not supported in roles,
1861 but, ... patches welcome
1862 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1863 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1864 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1868 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1869 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1870 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1871 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

1873 - added test for this
1875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1876 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1877 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1880 * Moose::Meta::Class
1881 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1885 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1887 - added tests for this
1888 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1889 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1892 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1893 themselves parameterizable types

1897 called by the inlined immutable
1899 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1901 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1902 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1903 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1904 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1906 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1907 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1919 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1922 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1923 ->body when looping through the
1924 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1926 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1927 eating the $@ values, and so not
1928 working correctly, it still kind of
1929 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1930 - added tests for this
1932 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1933 - added new recipe for immutable
1934 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1936 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1952 drink more coffee before
1953 doing release engineering
1955 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2068 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2070 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2072 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2073 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2074 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2075 officially support it.
2076 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2077 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2080 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2081 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2112 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2115 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2116 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2117 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2118 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2120 - added more delegation tests
2121 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2122 support traits and their introspection.
2123 - added tests for this

2279 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2280 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

2363 - added tests for this
2366 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2367 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2406 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2409 - fixed how required methods are handled
2410 when they encounter overriden or modified
2411 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2412 - added tests for this
2414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2415 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2416 the | always creates a union and so is
2417 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2418 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2420 - added more tests for this
2422 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2425 * Parameterized Types
2426 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2427 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2428 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2429 They can also be nested:
2430 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2431 And work with the type unions as well:
2432 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2434 * Better Framework Extendability
2435 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2436 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2437 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2438 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2441 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2442 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2443 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2444 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2447 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~

2679 so that you can actually document your
2680 attributes and inspect them through the

2684 * Moose::Meta::Class
2685 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2686 it will first look in for the class in the
2687 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2688 then default to just loading $name.
2689 - added tests and docs for this
2691 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2692 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2693 - added test for this
2696 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2698 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2699 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2701 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2702 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2705 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2707 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2708 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2709 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2712 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2713 !! for this developer release to work !!
2715 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2716 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2717 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2718 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2719 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2720 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2721 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2722 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2723 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2724 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2725 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2727 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2728 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2729 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2730 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2733 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2734 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2735 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2736 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2737 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2739 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2741 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2742 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2745 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2746 called unless they actually need to be.
2747 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2748 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2749 DEMOLISH method present.
2751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2753 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2754 type constraint, which allows for a
2755 hand optimized version of the type
2756 constraint to be used when possible.
2757 - Any internally created type constraints
2758 now provide an optimized version as well.
2760 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2762 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2763 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2764 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2766 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2767 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2768 your class namespace of these exported
2771 * Moose::Meta::Class
2772 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2773 comes up during global destruction
2775 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2779 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2783 - changed how we do type checks so that
2784 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2787 - moved accessor generation methods to
2788 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2789 conform to the API changes from
2792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2793 - changed how constraints are compiled
2794 so that we do less recursion and more
2795 iteration. This makes the type check
2797 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2801 - created this from methods formerly found in
2802 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2804 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2805 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2807 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2808 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2810 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2811 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2813 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2816 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2817 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2818 - added tests for this
2819 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2820 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2821 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2822 - removed tests for this
2824 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2826 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2827 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2828 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2831 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2832 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2833 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2835 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2836 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2837 comments for more info.
2840 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2841 asked questions and common problems
2843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2844 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2845 - added tests for this
2847 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2848 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2849 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2850 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2852 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2853 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2856 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2857 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2858 is much appreciated :)
2859 - added tests for this
2861 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2862 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2863 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2866 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2867 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2869 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2871 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2872 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2876 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2877 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2878 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2880 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2882 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2885 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2886 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2887 keywords because we need to localize them.
2888 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2890 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2891 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2892 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2895 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2898 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2899 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2900 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2903 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2904 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2905 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2907 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2909 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2910 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2911 bottom of your class file.
2914 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2917 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2919 - improved error message when loading modules so
2920 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2921 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2922 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2925 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2926 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2927 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2929 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2930 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2932 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2933 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2934 turn them on for you.
2935 - added tests for this
2936 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2937 in Moose::Meta::Class
2940 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2941 automatically turned on for you.

2963 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2964 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2965 - This release works in combination with
2966 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2967 release because it uses the a new
2968 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2969 complete Role implementation. It has
2970 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2971 the the previous CPAN version. This
2972 release also lacks good updated docs,
2973 the official release will have updated docs.
2976 - refactored the keyword exports
2977 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2978 accepts more than one Role at a time
2979 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2980 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2983 - refactored the keyword exports
2984 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2985 accepts more than one Role at a time
2987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2988 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2989 string enumerations which can be used as
2991 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2994 - more careful checking of params to new()
2997 - much work done on the role composition
2998 - many new tests for conflict detection
2999 and composition edge cases
3000 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3001 looking at the tests
3003 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3004 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3005 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3007 * Moose::Meta::Class

3010 - some small additions to support Roles
3012 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3013 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3015 - some small changes to support the new
3017 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3018 with the 'handles' option
3019 - added several tests for this
3020 - no docs for this yet
3022 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3024 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3025 thanks to chansen for this commit
3026 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3027 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3028 on a per-attribute basis
3029 - added tests for this
3030 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3031 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3032 experimental feature and probably not finished

3034 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3035 - added tests for this
