1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
9 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
10 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
14 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
15 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
17 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
21 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
22 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
23 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
24 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
28 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
29 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
31 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
35 * Update conflicts list.
38 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
42 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
43 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
44 details. (Dave Rolsky)
46 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
47 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
48 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
49 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
50 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
55 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
56 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
57 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
58 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
61 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
65 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
66 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
68 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
71 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
75 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
76 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
77 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
78 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
80 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
81 immutable classes). (mo)
83 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
84 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
85 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
87 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
91 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
93 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
95 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
99 * Fix some indexing issues.
101 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
103 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
107 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
108 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
109 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
110 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
111 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
113 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
114 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
119 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
120 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
121 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
122 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
124 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
125 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
126 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
130 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
131 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
134 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
138 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
139 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
143 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
147 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
148 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
149 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
150 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
153 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
157 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
160 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
164 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
165 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
166 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
169 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
173 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
174 policy. (Chris Prather)
176 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
177 on this new support policy. (doy)
181 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
182 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
183 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
185 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
186 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
188 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
192 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
193 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
194 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
195 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
198 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
202 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
203 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
206 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
210 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
211 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
213 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
214 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
218 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
219 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
220 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
221 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
222 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
223 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
225 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
226 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
228 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
229 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
230 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
231 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
233 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
234 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
236 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
241 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
242 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
244 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
248 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
249 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
250 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
252 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
256 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
257 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
258 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
260 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
261 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
264 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
265 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
268 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
269 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
270 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
272 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
273 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
278 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
279 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
280 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
281 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
283 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
284 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
286 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
287 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
289 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
290 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
291 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
292 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
294 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
295 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
296 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
299 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
300 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
301 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
302 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
305 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
308 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
309 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
310 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
312 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
316 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
317 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
318 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
320 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
321 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
322 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
325 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
326 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
327 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
329 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
330 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
331 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
333 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
334 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
338 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
339 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
340 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
342 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
343 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
344 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
345 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
347 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
351 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
352 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
353 value is a reference.
355 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
356 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
358 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
362 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
363 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
364 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
366 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
370 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
371 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
375 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
376 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
377 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
379 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
380 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
381 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
383 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
387 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
389 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
393 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
395 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
396 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
401 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
402 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
404 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
405 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
406 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
407 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
408 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
410 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
411 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
412 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
413 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
415 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
419 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
420 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
425 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
427 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
429 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
434 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
436 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
440 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
441 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
442 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
444 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
445 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
446 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
447 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
449 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
450 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
451 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
452 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
453 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
456 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
461 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
462 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
463 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
464 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
465 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
468 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
472 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
475 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
476 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
480 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
481 function (not just method). (doy)
485 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
486 and aren't easily installable/testable.
488 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
492 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
493 to be overridden more easily (doy).
495 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
499 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
500 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
502 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
506 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
507 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
508 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
510 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
514 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
515 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
516 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
518 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
519 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
523 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
524 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
526 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
527 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
531 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
532 is applied to a class (t0m).
534 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
535 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
537 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
540 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
541 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
543 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
544 be much more robust. (doy)
546 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
548 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
551 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
555 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
556 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
558 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
562 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
563 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
565 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
568 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
569 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
570 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
572 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
573 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
574 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
577 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
579 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
583 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
584 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
588 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
590 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
595 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
599 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
600 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
604 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
606 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
610 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
611 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
615 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
616 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
620 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
621 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
623 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
627 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
628 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
629 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
632 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
636 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
637 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
638 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
639 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
641 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
645 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
646 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
647 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
651 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
654 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
659 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
660 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
664 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
665 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
667 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
668 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
669 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
670 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
672 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
676 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
680 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
681 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
683 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
684 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
685 - Moose::Util::does_role
686 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
687 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
688 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
690 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
694 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
695 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
696 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
699 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
703 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
704 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
707 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
711 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
712 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
715 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
719 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
721 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
722 class. (Dave Rolsky).
724 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
725 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
726 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
728 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
729 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
730 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
733 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
734 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
736 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
737 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
738 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
740 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
742 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
743 substr et al, again. (sorear)
745 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
747 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
750 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
751 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
753 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
754 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
756 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
757 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
758 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
759 dependencies installed.
761 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
762 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
765 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
767 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
771 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
774 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
775 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
778 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
779 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
781 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
782 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
785 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
786 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
787 others. (nothingmuch)
789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
790 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
791 remove_accessors. (doy)
793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
794 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
795 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
798 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
800 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
802 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
803 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
806 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
807 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
810 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
812 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
814 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
815 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
818 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
819 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
820 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
821 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
822 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
824 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
826 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
827 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
828 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
829 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
830 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
833 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
834 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
835 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
836 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
837 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
839 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
840 which were not receiving the value of
841 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
842 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
843 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
844 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
848 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
849 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
850 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
851 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
852 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
855 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
856 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
857 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
858 - added tests for this (Stevan)
861 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
862 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
863 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
866 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
867 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
868 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
871 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
872 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
875 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
876 class if you pass it options for
877 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
878 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
879 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
880 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
881 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
882 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
883 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
884 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
885 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
887 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
888 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
889 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
890 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
891 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
894 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
896 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
897 existing delegation API. (hdp)
899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
900 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
901 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
902 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
903 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
904 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
907 * Moose::Error::Croak
908 * Moose::Error::Confess
909 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
910 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
913 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
916 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
917 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
918 installing a broken sub. (doy)
921 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
924 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
925 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
926 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
928 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
929 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
930 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
931 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
932 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
935 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
938 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
940 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
941 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
944 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
945 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
948 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
949 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
950 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
953 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
954 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
955 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
956 using it for new code!
958 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
959 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
960 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
961 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
963 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
964 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
965 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
966 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
967 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
968 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
969 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
970 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
973 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
976 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
977 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
981 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
984 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
985 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
988 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
989 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
990 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
993 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
994 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
997 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
998 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1001 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1003 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1004 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1005 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1006 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1008 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1010 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1014 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1015 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1017 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1018 associated_methods. (hdp)
1019 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1020 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1021 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1022 misspelled) arguments
1024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1025 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1026 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1027 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1030 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1031 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1033 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1037 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1038 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1041 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1042 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1044 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1045 * Moose::Meta::Class
1046 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1047 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1049 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1050 * Moose::Manual::Types
1051 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1052 string parsing rathole (mst)
1054 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1055 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1056 using plain objects instead
1058 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1059 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1060 that's what we need.
1062 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1063 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1064 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1065 three times today (perigrin)
1066 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1067 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1070 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1071 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1072 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1075 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1076 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1077 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1078 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1079 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1080 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1083 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1084 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1085 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1086 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1089 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1091 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1094 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1096 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1099 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1100 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1101 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1105 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1106 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1109 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1110 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1112 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1113 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1114 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1116 * Moose::Unsweetened
1117 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1119 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1120 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1123 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1127 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1128 methods during global destruction (doy)
1130 * Moose::Meta::Class
1131 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1132 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1133 consumption (Sartak)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Class
1136 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1137 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1140 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1141 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1144 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1145 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1147 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1149 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1153 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1154 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1155 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1158 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1159 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1160 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1163 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1165 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1166 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1167 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1171 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1172 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1173 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1176 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1177 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1180 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1183 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1184 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1185 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1189 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1190 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Class
1193 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1195 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1197 * Moose::Meta::Class
1198 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1199 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1202 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1203 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1206 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1207 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1210 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1213 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1216 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1219 * Moose::Meta::Class
1220 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1223 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1226 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1227 * More deprecations and renamings
1228 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1229 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1230 when an object is constructed)
1233 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1234 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1235 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1238 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1239 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1240 feature, and it works again.
1243 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1245 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1247 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1248 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1249 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1252 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1253 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1254 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1255 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1258 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1259 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1260 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1261 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1264 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1265 metaclass object. (hdp)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1268 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1269 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1270 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1271 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1272 point out this fact. (hdp)
1274 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1275 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1277 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1278 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1280 * Moose::Meta::Class
1281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1282 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1283 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1284 called during instance construction were passed the
1285 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1286 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1288 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1289 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1293 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1294 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1297 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1298 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1299 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1300 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1301 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1303 - Moose::Meta::Class
1304 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1306 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1307 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1308 when an object is constructed)
1309 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1311 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1312 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1313 when an object is constructed)
1314 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1315 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1316 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1319 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1321 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1322 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1324 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1326 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1327 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1328 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1330 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1331 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1332 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1334 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1337 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1340 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1343 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1344 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1347 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1348 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1349 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1352 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1356 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1357 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1358 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1361 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1364 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1365 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1366 with recommended workarounds.
1368 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1369 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1372 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1373 (yes, spelled like that).
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1376 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1378 * Moose::Meta::Class
1379 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1380 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1382 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1384 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1385 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1386 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1387 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1388 instead. Reported by doy.
1390 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1392 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1393 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1396 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1397 message) is now deprecated.
1398 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1399 often got it wrong. For example:
1401 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1403 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1407 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1408 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1409 bite you in weird cases.
1411 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1412 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1413 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1414 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1416 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1417 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1421 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1424 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1425 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1428 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1429 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1432 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1435 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1437 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1438 - added tests for this (stevan)
1440 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1441 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1442 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1443 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1447 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1448 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1449 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1450 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1452 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1453 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1454 - added tests for this (rafl)
1456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1457 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1458 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1459 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1463 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1464 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1467 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1468 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1469 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1473 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1474 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1476 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1477 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1478 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1479 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1480 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1482 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1483 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1484 error message did not specify the attribute name
1487 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1489 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1491 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1492 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1493 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1496 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1499 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1501 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1502 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1503 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1504 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1506 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1508 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1509 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1510 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1511 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1514 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1515 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1518 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1519 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1520 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1521 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1524 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1525 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1526 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1527 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1529 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1530 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1531 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1532 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1533 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1534 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1536 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1537 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1538 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1539 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1540 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1541 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1543 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1544 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1546 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1547 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1548 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1549 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1552 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1555 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1559 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1560 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1562 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1563 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1564 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1565 guts. (nothingmuch).
1567 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1569 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1571 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1572 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1573 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1574 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1576 * Moose::Meta::Class
1577 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1580 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1581 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1584 * Moose::Unsweetened
1585 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1588 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1589 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1590 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1591 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1592 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1593 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1596 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1597 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1598 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1599 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1600 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1601 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1603 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1604 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1606 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1608 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1609 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1612 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1613 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1614 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1616 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1617 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1618 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1619 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1620 same methods for a single role did not work
1621 right (worked just fine with multiple
1623 - added test for this (stevan)
1625 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1626 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1627 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1630 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1631 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1632 - added test for this (t0m)
1635 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1636 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1637 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1640 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1641 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1642 - added test for this (t0m)
1644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1645 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1646 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1647 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1648 - added test for this (perigrin)
1651 - create method for constructing a role
1652 dynamically (Sartak)
1653 - added test for this (Sartak)
1654 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1655 - added test for this (Sartak)
1658 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1661 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1662 methods is useful (Sartak)
1664 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1666 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1669 * Moose::Meta::Class
1670 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1671 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1672 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1673 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1674 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1675 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1678 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1679 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1681 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1682 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1683 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1684 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1685 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1689 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1690 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1691 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1694 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1695 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1696 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1697 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1698 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1699 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1703 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1704 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1705 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1706 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1707 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1708 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1709 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1710 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1711 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1712 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1715 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1718 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1719 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1720 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1721 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1722 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1724 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1726 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1727 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1728 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1731 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1734 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1735 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1736 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1740 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1742 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1744 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1745 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1747 * Moose::Meta::Class
1748 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1749 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1750 a required attribute
1752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1754 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1755 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1757 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1758 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1761 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1762 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1763 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1764 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1765 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1766 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1767 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1770 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1771 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1773 * Roles and role application
1774 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1775 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1776 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1777 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1778 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1780 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1781 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1784 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1785 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1786 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1787 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1788 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1791 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1792 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1793 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1794 changes in the Moose internals.
1796 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1798 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1802 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1803 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1804 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1807 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1808 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1809 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1812 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1813 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1814 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1815 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1816 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1817 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1818 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1819 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1820 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1821 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1822 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1823 constraint implementations.
1825 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1829 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1830 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1831 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1832 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1833 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1834 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 - added tests for this (rafl)
1837 * Moose::Meta::Class
1838 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1839 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1840 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1841 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1842 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1843 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1844 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1848 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1849 - added tests for this (thepler)
1851 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1852 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1853 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1854 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1857 * Moose::Meta::Class
1858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1859 * Moose::Meta::Method
1862 * Moose::Error::Default
1863 * Moose::Error::Croak
1864 * Moose::Error::Confess
1865 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1866 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1867 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1868 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1869 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1870 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1872 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1874 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1875 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Unsweetened
1878 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1879 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1880 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1883 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1884 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1885 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1886 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1889 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1890 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1892 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1893 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1894 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1895 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1898 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1900 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1901 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1903 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1906 - Various bug fixes.
1908 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1909 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1911 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1913 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1914 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1915 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1916 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1917 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1918 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1921 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1922 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1924 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1925 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1926 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1929 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1930 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1931 dependency to 0.64_07.
1933 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1934 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1935 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1938 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1941 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1942 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1943 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1944 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1945 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1946 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1948 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1949 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1951 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1953 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1954 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1958 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1959 method when that method was provided by another role being
1960 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1963 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1965 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1966 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1968 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1969 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1970 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1971 - added test for this (t0m)
1973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1974 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1975 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1977 - added test for this (t0m)
1980 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1981 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1982 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1985 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1986 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1988 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1990 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1991 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1993 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1994 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1995 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1997 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1998 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2002 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2003 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2004 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2008 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2009 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2010 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2014 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2015 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2016 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2019 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2023 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2024 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2025 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2027 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2028 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2029 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2030 created so that the process can be more easily
2031 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2034 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2035 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2036 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2038 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2039 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2042 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2043 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2045 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2046 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2047 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2049 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2050 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2051 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2053 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4

2065 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2066 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2068 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2069 ... this is not my day today ...
2071 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2072 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2073 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2074 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2075 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2078 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2079 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2080 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2081 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2082 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2085 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2087 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2088 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2089 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2090 this is not ever something you want to do
2091 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2092 - added tests for this (stevan)
2095 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2097 - added test for this

2117 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2120 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2121 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2122 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2123 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2124 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2125 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2126 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2127 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2128 - added tests for this
2130 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2131 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2132 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2133 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2234 - added more descriptive error message to help
2235 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2238 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2240 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2241 XS based functionality is now optional
2242 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2243 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2244 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2246 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2247 to take care of this, mostly we added
2248 support for the package_name and name

2318 ->body when looping through the
2319 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2321 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

2347 drink more coffee before
2348 doing release engineering
2350 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2465 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2467 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2739 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2740 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2741 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2742 instead it will just return undef.
2743 - added docs for this
2745 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2757 with work correctly.
2758 - added tests for this
2761 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2762 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2765 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2766 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2767 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2769 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2804 - fixed how required methods are handled
2805 when they encounter overriden or modified
2806 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2807 - added tests for this
2809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2810 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2811 the | always creates a union and so is
2812 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2813 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2815 - added more tests for this
2817 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2820 * Parameterized Types
2821 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2822 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2823 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2824 They can also be nested:
2825 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2826 And work with the type unions as well:
2827 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2829 * Better Framework Extendability
2830 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2831 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2832 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2833 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2836 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2837 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2838 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2839 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2842 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2844 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2845 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2904 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2905 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2907 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2924 (thanks to shlomif).
2926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2927 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2928 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2929 - added tests for this

2966 - added tests for these
2968 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2969 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2972 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2977 (but not changing the handles option)
2978 - added tests and docs for this
2981 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2982 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2987 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2993 the other side (perigrin)
2995 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2997 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2998 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2999 prototypes for functions
3000 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3001 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3011 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3014 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3015 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3016 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3017 - added tests for this
3019 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3021 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3037 * Moose::Meta::Class
3038 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3039 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3040 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3042 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3043 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3045 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3046 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3047 so this release is just to fix that.
3050 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3051 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3052 (thanks to konobi for this)
3053 - added tests and docs
3055 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3056 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3059 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3060 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3061 - added tests for this
3062 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3063 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3064 functions to facilitate introspection.
3066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3067 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3068 to build the list of delegated methods
3069 correctly (and not override important
3070 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3072 - added tests and docs for this
3073 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3074 so that you can actually document your
3075 attributes and inspect them through the
3077 - added tests and docs for this
3079 * Moose::Meta::Class
3080 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3081 it will first look in for the class in the
3082 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3083 then default to just loading $name.
3084 - added tests and docs for this
3086 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3087 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3088 - added test for this
3091 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3092 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3093 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3094 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3096 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3097 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3100 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3102 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3103 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3104 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3107 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3108 !! for this developer release to work !!
3110 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3111 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3112 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3113 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3114 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3115 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3116 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3117 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3118 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3119 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3120 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3122 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3123 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3124 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3125 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3128 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3130 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3131 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3132 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3134 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3136 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3137 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3140 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3141 called unless they actually need to be.
3142 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3143 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3144 DEMOLISH method present.
3146 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3148 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3149 type constraint, which allows for a
3150 hand optimized version of the type
3151 constraint to be used when possible.
3152 - Any internally created type constraints
3153 now provide an optimized version as well.
3155 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3157 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3158 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3159 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3162 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3163 your class namespace of these exported
3166 * Moose::Meta::Class
3167 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3168 comes up during global destruction
3170 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3174 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3178 - changed how we do type checks so that
3179 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3182 - moved accessor generation methods to
3183 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3184 conform to the API changes from
3187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3188 - changed how constraints are compiled
3189 so that we do less recursion and more
3190 iteration. This makes the type check
3192 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3195 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3196 - created this from methods formerly found in
3197 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3199 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3200 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3203 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3205 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3206 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3208 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3211 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3212 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3213 - added tests for this
3214 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3215 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3216 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3217 - removed tests for this
3219 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3221 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3222 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3223 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3226 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3227 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3228 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3230 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3231 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3232 comments for more info.
3235 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3236 asked questions and common problems
3238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3239 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3240 - added tests for this
3242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3243 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3244 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3245 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3247 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3248 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3251 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3252 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3253 is much appreciated :)
3254 - added tests for this
3256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3257 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3258 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3261 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3262 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3264 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3266 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3267 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3271 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3272 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3273 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3275 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3277 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3280 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3281 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3282 keywords because we need to localize them.
3283 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3285 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3286 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3287 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3290 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3294 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3295 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3298 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3299 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3300 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3302 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3304 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3305 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3306 bottom of your class file.
3309 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3312 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3314 - improved error message when loading modules so
3315 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3316 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3317 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3320 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3321 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3322 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3324 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3325 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3327 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3328 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3329 turn them on for you.
3330 - added tests for this
3331 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3332 in Moose::Meta::Class
3335 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3336 automatically turned on for you.
3337 - added tests for this
3340 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3341 - added tests for this
3342 - added some more edge case tests
3344 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3345 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3347 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3351 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3355 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3358 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3359 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3360 - This release works in combination with
3361 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3362 release because it uses the a new
3363 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3364 complete Role implementation. It has
3365 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3366 the the previous CPAN version. This
3367 release also lacks good updated docs,
3368 the official release will have updated docs.
3371 - refactored the keyword exports
3372 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3373 accepts more than one Role at a time
3374 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3375 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3378 - refactored the keyword exports
3379 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3380 accepts more than one Role at a time
3382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3383 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3384 string enumerations which can be used as
3386 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3389 - more careful checking of params to new()
3392 - much work done on the role composition
3393 - many new tests for conflict detection
3394 and composition edge cases
3395 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3396 looking at the tests
3398 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3399 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3400 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3402 * Moose::Meta::Class
3403 - some small changes to support the new
3405 - some small additions to support Roles
3407 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3408 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3410 - some small changes to support the new
3412 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3413 with the 'handles' option
3414 - added several tests for this
3415 - no docs for this yet
3417 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3419 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3420 thanks to chansen for this commit
3421 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3422 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3423 on a per-attribute basis
3424 - added tests for this
3425 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3426 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3427 experimental feature and probably not finished
3428 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3429 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3430 - added tests for this
3433 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3435 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
3436 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
3437 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
3439 - added some tests for this
3440 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3441 thanks to chansen for this commit
3443 * Moose::Meta::Class
3444 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3445 construct_instance (for the better)
