1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
7 constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
8 when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
10 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
11 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
12 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
13 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
15 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method metohd. (Dave
18 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
19 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
20 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
21 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
22 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
27 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
28 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
29 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
30 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
31 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
34 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
38 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
41 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
42 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
46 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined function
47 (not just method) (doy).
51 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
52 and aren't easily installable/testable.
54 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
58 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
59 to be overridden more easily (doy).
61 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
65 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
66 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
68 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
72 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
73 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
74 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
76 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
80 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
81 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
82 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
84 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
85 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
89 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
90 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
92 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
93 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
97 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
98 is applied to a class (t0m).
100 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
101 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
103 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
106 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
107 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
109 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
110 be much more robust. (doy)
112 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
114 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
117 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
121 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
122 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
124 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
128 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
129 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
131 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
134 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
135 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
136 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
138 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
139 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
140 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
143 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
145 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
149 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
150 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
154 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
156 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
161 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
165 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
166 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
170 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
172 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
176 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
177 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
181 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
182 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
186 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
187 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
189 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
193 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
194 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
195 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
198 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
202 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
203 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
204 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
205 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
207 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
211 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
212 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
213 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
217 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
220 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
225 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
226 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
230 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
231 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
233 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
234 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
235 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
236 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
238 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
242 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
246 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
247 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
249 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
250 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
251 - Moose::Util::does_role
252 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
253 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
254 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
256 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
260 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
261 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
262 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
265 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
269 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
270 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
273 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
277 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
278 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
281 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
285 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
287 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
288 class. (Dave Rolsky).
290 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
291 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
292 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
294 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
295 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
296 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
299 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
300 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
302 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
303 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
304 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
306 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
308 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
309 substr et al, again. (sorear)
311 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
313 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
316 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
317 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
319 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
320 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
322 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
323 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
324 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
325 dependencies installed.
327 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
328 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
331 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
333 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
337 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
340 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
341 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
344 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
345 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
347 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
348 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
351 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
352 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
353 others. (nothingmuch)
355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
356 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
357 remove_accessors. (doy)
359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
360 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
361 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
364 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
366 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
368 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
369 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
372 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
373 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
375 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
376 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
378 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
380 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
381 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
384 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
385 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
386 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
387 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
388 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
390 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
393 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
394 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
395 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
396 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
399 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
400 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
401 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
402 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
403 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
405 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
406 which were not receiving the value of
407 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
408 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
409 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
410 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
414 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
415 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
416 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
417 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
418 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
422 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
423 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
424 - added tests for this (Stevan)
427 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
428 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
429 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
432 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
434 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
437 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
438 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
441 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
442 class if you pass it options for
443 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
444 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
445 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
446 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
447 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
448 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
449 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
450 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
451 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
453 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
454 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
455 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
456 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
457 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
460 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
462 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
463 existing delegation API. (hdp)
465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
466 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
467 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
468 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
469 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
470 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
473 * Moose::Error::Croak
474 * Moose::Error::Confess
475 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
476 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
479 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
482 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
483 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
484 installing a broken sub. (doy)
487 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
490 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
491 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
492 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
494 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
495 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
496 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
497 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
498 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
501 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
504 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
506 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
507 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
510 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
511 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
514 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
515 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
516 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
519 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
520 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
521 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
522 using it for new code!
524 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
525 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
526 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
527 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
529 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
530 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
531 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
532 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
533 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
534 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
535 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
536 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
539 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
542 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
543 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
547 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
550 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
551 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
555 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
556 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
559 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
560 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
563 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
564 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
567 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
569 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
570 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
571 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
572 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
574 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
576 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
580 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
581 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
583 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
584 associated_methods. (hdp)
585 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
586 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
587 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
588 misspelled) arguments
590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
591 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
592 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
593 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
597 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
599 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
603 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
604 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
607 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
608 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
610 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
612 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
613 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
615 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
616 * Moose::Manual::Types
617 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
618 string parsing rathole (mst)
620 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
621 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
622 using plain objects instead
624 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
625 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
628 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
630 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
631 three times today (perigrin)
632 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
633 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
636 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
637 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
638 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
641 - A role's required methods are now represented by
642 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
643 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
644 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
645 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
646 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
649 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
650 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
651 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
652 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
655 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
657 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
660 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
662 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
665 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
666 during global destruction. This method has been made more
667 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
671 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
672 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
675 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
676 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
678 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
679 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
680 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
683 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
685 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
686 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
689 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
693 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
694 methods during global destruction (doy)
697 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
698 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
702 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
703 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
706 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
707 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
710 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
711 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
713 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
715 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
719 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
720 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
721 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
724 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
725 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
726 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
729 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
731 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
732 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
733 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
737 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
738 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
739 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
741 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
742 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
743 of the Moose core (Sartak)
746 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
749 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
750 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
751 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
755 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
756 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
759 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
761 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
764 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
765 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
768 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
769 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
772 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
773 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
776 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
779 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
782 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
786 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
789 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
792 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
793 * More deprecations and renamings
794 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
795 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
796 when an object is constructed)
799 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
800 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
801 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
804 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
805 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
806 feature, and it works again.
809 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
811 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
813 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
814 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
815 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
818 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
819 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
820 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
821 message. Test provided by perigrin.
823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
824 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
825 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
826 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
827 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
830 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
831 metaclass object. (hdp)
833 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
834 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
835 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
836 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
837 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
838 point out this fact. (hdp)
840 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
841 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
843 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
844 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
847 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
848 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
849 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
850 called during instance construction were passed the
851 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
852 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
854 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
855 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
858 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
859 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
860 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
863 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
864 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
865 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
866 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
867 them, but they are not for "public" use.
870 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
872 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
873 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
874 when an object is constructed)
875 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
877 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
878 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
879 when an object is constructed)
880 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
881 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
882 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
885 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
887 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
888 * No changes from 0.72_01.
890 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
892 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
893 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
894 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
897 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
898 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
900 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
902 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
903 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
905 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
906 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
909 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
910 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
913 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
914 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
915 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
918 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
922 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
923 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
924 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
927 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
930 * Moose::Manual::Delta
931 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
932 with recommended workarounds.
934 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
935 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
937 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
938 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
939 (yes, spelled like that).
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
942 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
945 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
946 changes in latest Class::MOP.
948 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
951 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
952 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
953 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
954 instead. Reported by doy.
956 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
958 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
959 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
962 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
963 message) is now deprecated.
964 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
965 often got it wrong. For example:
967 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
969 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
973 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
974 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
975 bite you in weird cases.
977 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
978 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
979 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
982 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
983 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
987 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
990 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
991 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
994 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
995 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
997 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
998 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1001 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1002 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1003 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1004 - added tests for this (stevan)
1006 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1007 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1008 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1009 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1013 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1014 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1015 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1016 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1018 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1019 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1020 - added tests for this (rafl)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1023 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1024 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1025 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1029 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1030 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1034 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1035 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1039 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1040 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1042 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1043 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1044 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1045 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1046 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1049 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1050 error message did not specify the attribute name
1053 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1055 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1057 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1058 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1059 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1061 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1062 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1065 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1067 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1068 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1069 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1070 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1072 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1074 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1075 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1076 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1077 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1080 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1081 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1084 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1085 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1086 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1087 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1090 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1091 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1092 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1093 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1096 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1097 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1098 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1099 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1100 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1102 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1103 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1104 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1105 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1106 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1107 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1109 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1110 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1112 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1113 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1114 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1115 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1118 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1121 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1125 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1126 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1129 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1130 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1131 guts. (nothingmuch).
1133 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1135 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1138 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1139 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1140 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Class
1143 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1146 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1147 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1149 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1150 * Moose::Unsweetened
1151 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1154 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1155 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1156 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1157 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1158 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1159 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1162 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1163 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1164 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1165 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1166 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1167 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1168 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1169 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1170 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1174 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1175 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1178 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1179 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1180 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1183 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1184 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1185 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1186 same methods for a single role did not work
1187 right (worked just fine with multiple
1189 - added test for this (stevan)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1192 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1193 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1196 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1197 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1198 - added test for this (t0m)
1201 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1202 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1203 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1206 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1207 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1208 - added test for this (t0m)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1211 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1212 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1213 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1214 - added test for this (perigrin)
1217 - create method for constructing a role
1218 dynamically (Sartak)
1219 - added test for this (Sartak)
1220 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1221 - added test for this (Sartak)
1224 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1226 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1227 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1228 methods is useful (Sartak)
1230 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1232 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1235 * Moose::Meta::Class
1236 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1237 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1238 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1239 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1240 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1241 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1244 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1245 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1248 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1249 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1250 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1251 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1255 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1256 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1257 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1260 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1261 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1262 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1263 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1264 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1265 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1269 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1270 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1271 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1272 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1273 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1274 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1275 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1276 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1277 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1278 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1281 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1285 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1286 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1287 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1288 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1290 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1292 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1293 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1294 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1296 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1297 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1300 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1301 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1302 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1305 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1306 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1308 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1310 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1311 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Class
1314 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1315 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1316 a required attribute
1318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1319 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1320 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1321 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1323 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1324 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1327 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1328 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1329 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1330 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1331 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1332 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1333 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1336 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1337 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1339 * Roles and role application
1340 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1341 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1342 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1343 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1344 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1346 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1347 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1351 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1352 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1353 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1354 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1357 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1358 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1359 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1360 changes in the Moose internals.
1362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1364 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1368 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1369 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1370 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1373 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1374 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1375 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1378 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1379 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1380 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1381 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1382 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1383 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1384 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1385 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1386 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1387 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1388 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1389 constraint implementations.
1391 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1395 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1396 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1397 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1398 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1399 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1400 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1401 - added tests for this (rafl)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Class
1404 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1405 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1406 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1407 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1408 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1409 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1410 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1411 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1414 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1415 - added tests for this (thepler)
1417 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1418 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1419 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1420 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1423 * Moose::Meta::Class
1424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1425 * Moose::Meta::Method
1428 * Moose::Error::Default
1429 * Moose::Error::Croak
1430 * Moose::Error::Confess
1431 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1432 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1433 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1434 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1435 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1436 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1438 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1440 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1441 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1443 * Moose::Unsweetened
1444 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1445 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1446 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1449 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1450 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1451 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1452 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1455 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1456 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1458 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1459 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1460 several major changes in this release of Moose.

1503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1504 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1507 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1508 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1509 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1510 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1511 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1512 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1515 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1517 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1519 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1520 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1524 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1525 method when that method was provided by another role being
1526 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1527 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1529 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1537 - added test for this (t0m)
1539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1540 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1541 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1543 - added test for this (t0m)
1546 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1547 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1548 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1552 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1554 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1556 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1557 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1559 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1560 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1561 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1563 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1564 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1567 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1570 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1574 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1575 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1576 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1580 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1581 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1582 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1585 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1589 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1591 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1593 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1595 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1596 created so that the process can be more easily

1626 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1627 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1631 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1632 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1634 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1635 ... this is not my day today ...
1637 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1638 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1639 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1640 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1641 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1644 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1645 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1646 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1647 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1648 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1651 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1653 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1654 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1655 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1656 this is not ever something you want to do
1657 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1658 - added tests for this (stevan)
1661 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1663 - added test for this

1672 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1675 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1676 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1679 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1681 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1683 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1686 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1687 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1688 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1689 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1690 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1691 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1692 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1693 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 - added tests for this
1696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1697 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1698 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1699 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1766 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1767 (early morning release engineering)--
1769 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1770 which was causing the indexer to choke
1772 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1773 (late night release engineering)--
1775 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1776 changes in this release

1786 * Moose::Meta::Class
1788 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1789 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1793 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1794 method for immutablization to check if the
1795 destructor object even needs to be created
1798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1799 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1800 - added more descriptive error message to help
1801 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1802 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1804 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1806 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1807 XS based functionality is now optional
1808 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1809 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1810 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1812 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1813 to take care of this, mostly we added
1814 support for the package_name and name
1815 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1816 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1817 support regexp matching of names
1818 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1819 - tests added for this
1820 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1821 is currently not supported in roles,
1822 but, ... patches welcome
1823 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1824 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1825 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1828 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1829 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1830 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1831 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1832 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1833 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1834 - added test for this
1836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1837 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1838 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1841 * Moose::Meta::Class
1842 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1846 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1848 - added tests for this
1849 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1850 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1852 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1853 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1854 themselves parameterizable types
1856 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1857 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1858 called by the inlined immutable
1860 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1862 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1863 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1864 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1865 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1868 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1880 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1883 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1884 ->body when looping through the
1885 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1887 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1888 eating the $@ values, and so not
1889 working correctly, it still kind of
1890 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1891 - added tests for this
1893 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1894 - added new recipe for immutable
1895 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1897 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1913 drink more coffee before
1914 doing release engineering
1916 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1917 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

1950 - added test for this
1952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2031 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2033 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2073 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2076 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2077 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2078 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2079 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2081 - added more delegation tests
2082 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2083 support traits and their introspection.
2084 - added tests for this

2324 - added tests for this
2327 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2328 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2371 when they encounter overriden or modified
2372 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2373 - added tests for this
2375 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2381 - added more tests for this
2383 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2386 * Parameterized Types
2387 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2388 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2389 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2390 They can also be nested:
2391 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2392 And work with the type unions as well:
2393 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2395 * Better Framework Extendability
2396 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2397 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2398 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2399 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2402 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2403 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2404 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2405 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2408 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~

2639 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2640 so that you can actually document your
2641 attributes and inspect them through the

2645 * Moose::Meta::Class
2646 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2647 it will first look in for the class in the
2648 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2649 then default to just loading $name.
2650 - added tests and docs for this
2652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2653 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2654 - added test for this
2657 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2659 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2660 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2662 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2663 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2666 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2668 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2669 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2670 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2673 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2674 !! for this developer release to work !!
2676 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2677 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2678 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2679 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2680 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2681 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2682 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2683 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2684 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2685 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2686 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2688 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2689 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2690 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2691 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2694 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2696 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2697 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2698 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2700 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2702 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2703 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2706 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2707 called unless they actually need to be.
2708 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2709 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2710 DEMOLISH method present.
2712 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2713 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2714 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2715 type constraint, which allows for a
2716 hand optimized version of the type
2717 constraint to be used when possible.
2718 - Any internally created type constraints
2719 now provide an optimized version as well.
2721 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2723 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2724 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2725 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2728 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2729 your class namespace of these exported
2732 * Moose::Meta::Class
2733 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2734 comes up during global destruction
2736 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2740 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2744 - changed how we do type checks so that
2745 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2748 - moved accessor generation methods to
2749 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2750 conform to the API changes from
2753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2754 - changed how constraints are compiled
2755 so that we do less recursion and more
2756 iteration. This makes the type check
2758 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2761 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2762 - created this from methods formerly found in
2763 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2765 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2766 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2769 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2771 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2772 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2774 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2777 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2778 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2779 - added tests for this
2780 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2781 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2782 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2783 - removed tests for this
2785 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2787 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2788 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2789 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2792 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2793 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2794 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2796 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2797 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2798 comments for more info.
2801 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2802 asked questions and common problems
2804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2805 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2806 - added tests for this
2808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2809 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2810 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2811 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2813 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2814 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2817 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2818 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2819 is much appreciated :)
2820 - added tests for this
2822 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2823 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2824 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2828 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2830 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2832 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2833 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2837 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2838 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2839 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2841 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2843 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2846 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2847 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2848 keywords because we need to localize them.
2849 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2851 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2852 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2853 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2856 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2860 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2861 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2864 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2865 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2866 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2868 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2870 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2871 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2872 bottom of your class file.
2875 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2878 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2880 - improved error message when loading modules so
2881 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2882 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2883 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2886 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2887 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2888 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2890 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2891 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2893 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2894 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2895 turn them on for you.
2896 - added tests for this
2897 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2898 in Moose::Meta::Class
2901 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2902 automatically turned on for you.

2921 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2924 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2925 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2926 - This release works in combination with
2927 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2928 release because it uses the a new
2929 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2930 complete Role implementation. It has
2931 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2932 the the previous CPAN version. This
2933 release also lacks good updated docs,
2934 the official release will have updated docs.
2937 - refactored the keyword exports
2938 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2939 accepts more than one Role at a time
2940 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2941 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2944 - refactored the keyword exports
2945 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2946 accepts more than one Role at a time
2948 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2949 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2950 string enumerations which can be used as
2952 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2955 - more careful checking of params to new()
2958 - much work done on the role composition
2959 - many new tests for conflict detection
2960 and composition edge cases
2961 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2962 looking at the tests
2964 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2965 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2966 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2968 * Moose::Meta::Class

2971 - some small additions to support Roles
2973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2974 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2976 - some small changes to support the new
2978 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2979 with the 'handles' option
2980 - added several tests for this
2981 - no docs for this yet
2983 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2985 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2986 thanks to chansen for this commit
2987 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2988 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2989 on a per-attribute basis
2990 - added tests for this
2991 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2992 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2993 experimental feature and probably not finished
2994 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2995 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2996 - added tests for this

3058 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3060 - added test for this
3063 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3064 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
