1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2009
6 - Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
9 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
10 - Major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish between
11 metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the Moose::Util::MetaRole
12 docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
15 - The unimport subs it generates now clean up re-exported functions like
16 blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere
19 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
20 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
21 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
22 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
24 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
25 - This recipe was broken. Fix suggested by jrey.
28 - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
29 of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
32 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
33 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
36 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
38 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
39 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
41 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
42 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
44 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
46 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
50 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
52 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
53 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
54 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
56 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
57 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
58 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
60 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
61 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
64 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
65 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
68 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
69 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
70 remove_accessors. (doy)
72 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
73 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
74 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
76 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
77 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
79 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
80 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
81 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
82 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
85 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
86 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
88 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
89 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
91 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
93 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
94 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
97 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
98 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
99 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
100 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
101 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
103 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
105 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
106 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
107 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
108 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
109 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
112 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
113 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
114 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
115 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
116 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
118 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
119 which were not receiving the value of
120 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
121 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
122 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
123 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
127 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
128 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
129 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
130 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
131 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
135 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
136 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
137 - added tests for this (Stevan)
140 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
141 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
142 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
145 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
147 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
150 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
151 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
154 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
155 class if you pass it options for
156 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
157 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
158 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
159 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
160 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
161 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
162 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
163 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
164 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
166 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
167 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
168 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
169 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
170 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
173 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
175 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
176 existing delegation API. (hdp)
178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
179 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
180 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
181 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
182 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
183 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
186 * Moose::Error::Croak
187 * Moose::Error::Confess
188 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
189 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
192 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
195 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
196 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
197 installing a broken sub. (doy)
200 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
203 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
204 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
205 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
207 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
208 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
209 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
210 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
211 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
214 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
217 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
219 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
220 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
223 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
224 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
228 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
229 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
232 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
233 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
234 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
235 using it for new code!
237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
238 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
239 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
240 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
242 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
243 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
244 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
245 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
246 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
247 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
248 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
249 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
252 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
255 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
256 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
260 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
263 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
264 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
268 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
269 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
272 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
273 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
276 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
277 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
280 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
282 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
283 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
284 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
285 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
287 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
289 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
293 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
294 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
296 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
297 associated_methods. (hdp)
298 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
299 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
300 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
301 misspelled) arguments
303 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
304 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
305 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
306 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
310 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
312 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
316 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
317 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
320 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
321 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
323 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
325 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
326 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
328 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
329 * Moose::Manual::Types
330 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
331 string parsing rathole (mst)
333 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
334 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
335 using plain objects instead
337 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
338 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
341 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
343 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
344 three times today (perigrin)
345 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
346 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
349 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
350 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
351 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
354 - A role's required methods are now represented by
355 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
356 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
357 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
358 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
359 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
362 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
363 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
364 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
365 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
368 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
370 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
373 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
375 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
378 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
379 during global destruction. This method has been made more
380 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
384 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
385 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
388 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
389 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
391 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
392 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
393 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
396 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
398 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
399 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
402 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
406 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
407 methods during global destruction (doy)
410 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
411 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
415 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
416 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
419 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
420 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
423 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
424 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
426 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
428 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
432 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
433 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
434 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
437 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
438 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
439 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
442 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
444 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
446 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
449 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
450 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
451 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
452 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
454 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
455 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
456 of the Moose core (Sartak)
459 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
462 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
463 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
464 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
468 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
469 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
472 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
474 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
477 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
478 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
481 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
482 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
485 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
486 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
489 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
492 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
495 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
499 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
501 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
502 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
505 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
506 * More deprecations and renamings
507 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
508 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
509 when an object is constructed)
512 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
513 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
514 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
517 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
518 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
519 feature, and it works again.
522 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
524 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
526 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
527 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
528 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
531 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
532 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
533 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
534 message. Test provided by perigrin.
536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
537 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
538 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
539 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
540 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
543 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
544 metaclass object. (hdp)
546 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
547 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
548 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
549 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
550 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
551 point out this fact. (hdp)
553 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
554 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
556 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
557 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
561 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
562 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
563 called during instance construction were passed the
564 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
565 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
567 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
568 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
571 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
572 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
573 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
576 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
577 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
578 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
579 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
580 them, but they are not for "public" use.
583 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
585 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
586 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
587 when an object is constructed)
588 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
590 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
591 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
592 when an object is constructed)
593 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
594 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
595 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
598 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
600 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
601 * No changes from 0.72_01.
603 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
605 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
606 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
607 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
609 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
610 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
611 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
613 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
615 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
616 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
618 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
619 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
622 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
623 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
626 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
627 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
628 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
631 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
635 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
636 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
637 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
640 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
643 * Moose::Manual::Delta
644 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
645 with recommended workarounds.
647 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
648 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
651 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
652 (yes, spelled like that).
654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
655 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
658 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
659 changes in latest Class::MOP.
661 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
664 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
665 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
666 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
667 instead. Reported by doy.
669 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
671 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
672 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
675 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
676 message) is now deprecated.
677 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
678 often got it wrong. For example:
680 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
682 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
686 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
687 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
688 bite you in weird cases.
690 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
691 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
692 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
695 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
696 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
700 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
703 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
704 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
707 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
708 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
711 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
714 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
716 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
717 - added tests for this (stevan)
719 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
720 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
721 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
722 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
726 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
727 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
728 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
729 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
731 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
732 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
733 - added tests for this (rafl)
735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
736 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
737 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
738 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
742 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
743 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
746 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
747 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
748 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
750 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
752 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
753 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
756 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
757 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
758 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
759 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
761 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
762 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
763 error message did not specify the attribute name
766 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
768 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
770 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
771 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
772 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
775 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
778 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
780 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
781 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
782 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
783 of fixes and formatting improvements.
785 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
787 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
788 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
789 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
790 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
793 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
794 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
797 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
798 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
799 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
800 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
803 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
804 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
805 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
806 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
809 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
810 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
811 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
812 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
813 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
815 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
816 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
817 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
818 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
819 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
820 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
822 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
823 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
825 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
826 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
827 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
828 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
831 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
834 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
838 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
839 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
841 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
842 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
843 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
846 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
847 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
848 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
851 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
852 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
853 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
856 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
859 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
860 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
862 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
864 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
867 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
868 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
869 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
870 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
871 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
872 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
875 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
876 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
877 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
878 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
879 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
880 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
881 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
882 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
883 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
885 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
887 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
888 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
891 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
892 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
893 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
895 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
896 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
897 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
898 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
899 same methods for a single role did not work
900 right (worked just fine with multiple
902 - added test for this (stevan)
904 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
905 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
906 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
909 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
910 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
911 - added test for this (t0m)
914 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
915 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
916 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
919 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
920 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
921 - added test for this (t0m)
923 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
924 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
925 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
926 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
927 - added test for this (perigrin)
930 - create method for constructing a role
932 - added test for this (Sartak)
933 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
934 - added test for this (Sartak)
937 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
939 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
940 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
941 methods is useful (Sartak)
943 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
945 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
949 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
950 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
951 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
952 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
953 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
954 - added tests for this (jdv79)
957 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
958 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
960 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
961 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
962 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
963 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
964 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
966 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
968 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
969 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
970 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
973 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
974 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
975 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
976 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
977 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
978 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
982 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
983 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
984 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
985 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
986 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
987 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
988 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
989 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
990 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
991 future. (jnapiorkowski)
993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
994 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
997 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
998 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
999 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1000 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1001 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1003 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1005 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1006 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1007 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1010 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1013 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1014 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1015 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1019 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1021 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1023 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1024 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Class
1027 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1028 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1029 a required attribute
1031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1033 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1034 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1037 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1039 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1040 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1041 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1042 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1043 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1044 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1045 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1046 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1048 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1049 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1050 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1052 * Roles and role application
1053 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1054 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1055 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1056 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1057 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1059 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1060 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1063 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1064 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1065 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1066 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1067 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1070 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1071 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1072 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1073 changes in the Moose internals.
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1076 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1077 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1080 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1081 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1082 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1083 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1085 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1086 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1087 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1088 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1090 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1091 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1092 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1093 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1094 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1095 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1096 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1097 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1098 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1099 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1100 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1101 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1102 constraint implementations.
1104 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1108 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1109 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1110 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1111 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1112 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1113 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1114 - added tests for this (rafl)
1116 * Moose::Meta::Class
1117 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1118 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1119 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1120 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1121 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1122 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1123 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1124 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1127 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1128 - added tests for this (thepler)
1130 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1131 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1132 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1133 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1136 * Moose::Meta::Class
1137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1138 * Moose::Meta::Method
1141 * Moose::Error::Default
1142 * Moose::Error::Croak
1143 * Moose::Error::Confess
1144 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1145 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1146 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1147 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1148 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1149 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1151 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1153 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1154 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 * Moose::Unsweetened
1157 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1158 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1159 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1162 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1163 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1164 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1165 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1168 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1169 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1171 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1172 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1173 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1174 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1177 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1179 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1180 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1182 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1185 - Various bug fixes.
1187 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1188 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1190 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1192 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1193 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1195 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1196 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1197 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1200 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1201 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1203 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1205 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1208 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1209 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1210 dependency to 0.64_07.
1212 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1213 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1214 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1217 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1221 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1222 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1223 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1224 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1225 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1228 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1230 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1232 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1233 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1237 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1238 method when that method was provided by another role being
1239 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1240 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1242 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1244 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1245 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1248 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1249 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1250 - added test for this (t0m)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1253 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1254 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1256 - added test for this (t0m)
1259 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1260 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1261 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1265 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1267 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1269 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1270 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1273 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1274 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1276 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1277 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1280 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1281 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1282 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1283 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1287 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1288 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1289 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1293 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1294 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1295 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1298 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1302 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1303 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1304 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1306 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1308 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1309 created so that the process can be more easily
1310 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1313 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1314 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1315 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1318 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1321 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1322 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1324 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1325 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1326 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1329 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1330 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1333 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1336 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1340 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1344 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1345 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1347 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1348 ... this is not my day today ...
1350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1351 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1352 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1353 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1354 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1357 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1358 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1359 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1360 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1361 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1364 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1366 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1367 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1368 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1369 this is not ever something you want to do
1370 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1371 - added tests for this (stevan)
1374 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1376 - added test for this

1396 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1399 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1400 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1401 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1402 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1403 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1404 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1405 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1406 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1407 - added tests for this
1409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1410 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1411 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1412 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1414 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1485 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1486 (late night release engineering)--
1488 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

1513 - added more descriptive error message to help
1514 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

1517 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1519 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1520 XS based functionality is now optional
1521 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1522 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1523 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1525 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1526 to take care of this, mostly we added
1527 support for the package_name and name

1597 ->body when looping through the
1598 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1600 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

1626 drink more coffee before
1627 doing release engineering
1629 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1744 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1746 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2036 with work correctly.
2037 - added tests for this
2040 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2041 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2045 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2046 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

2080 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2083 - fixed how required methods are handled
2084 when they encounter overriden or modified
2085 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2086 - added tests for this
2088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2089 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2090 the | always creates a union and so is
2091 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2092 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2094 - added more tests for this
2096 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2099 * Parameterized Types
2100 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2101 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2102 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2103 They can also be nested:
2104 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2105 And work with the type unions as well:
2106 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2108 * Better Framework Extendability
2109 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2110 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2111 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2112 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2115 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2116 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2117 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2118 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2121 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2123 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2124 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2158 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2159 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2160 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2162 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2163 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2183 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2184 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2186 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2203 (thanks to shlomif).
2205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2206 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2207 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2208 - added tests for this

2245 - added tests for these
2247 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2248 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2251 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2256 (but not changing the handles option)
2257 - added tests and docs for this
2260 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2261 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2266 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2272 the other side (perigrin)
2274 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2276 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2277 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2278 prototypes for functions
2279 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2280 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2290 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2293 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2294 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2295 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2296 - added tests for this
2298 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2300 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2318 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2319 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2321 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2322 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2324 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2325 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2326 so this release is just to fix that.
2329 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2330 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2331 (thanks to konobi for this)
2332 - added tests and docs
2334 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2335 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2338 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2339 thanks to phaylon for finding this

2342 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2343 functions to facilitate introspection.
2345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2346 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2347 to build the list of delegated methods
2348 correctly (and not override important
2349 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2351 - added tests and docs for this
2352 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2353 so that you can actually document your
2354 attributes and inspect them through the
2356 - added tests and docs for this
2358 * Moose::Meta::Class
2359 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2360 it will first look in for the class in the
2361 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2362 then default to just loading $name.
2363 - added tests and docs for this
2365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2366 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2367 - added test for this
2370 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2371 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2372 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2373 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2375 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2376 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2379 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2381 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2382 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2383 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2386 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2387 !! for this developer release to work !!
2389 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2390 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2391 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2392 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2393 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2394 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2395 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2396 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2397 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2398 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2399 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2401 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2402 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2403 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2404 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2407 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2409 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2410 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2411 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2413 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2415 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2416 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2419 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2420 called unless they actually need to be.
2421 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2422 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2423 DEMOLISH method present.
2425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2427 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2428 type constraint, which allows for a
2429 hand optimized version of the type
2430 constraint to be used when possible.
2431 - Any internally created type constraints
2432 now provide an optimized version as well.
2434 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2436 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2437 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2438 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2440 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2441 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2442 your class namespace of these exported
2445 * Moose::Meta::Class
2446 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2447 comes up during global destruction
2449 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2453 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2457 - changed how we do type checks so that
2458 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2461 - moved accessor generation methods to
2462 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2463 conform to the API changes from
2466 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2467 - changed how constraints are compiled
2468 so that we do less recursion and more
2469 iteration. This makes the type check
2471 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2475 - created this from methods formerly found in
2476 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2478 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2479 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2482 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2485 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2487 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2490 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2491 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2492 - added tests for this
2493 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2494 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2495 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2496 - removed tests for this
2498 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2500 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2501 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2502 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2505 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2506 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2507 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2509 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2510 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2511 comments for more info.
2514 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2515 asked questions and common problems
2517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2518 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2519 - added tests for this
2521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2522 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2523 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2524 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2526 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2527 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2530 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2531 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2532 is much appreciated :)
2533 - added tests for this
2535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2536 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2537 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2540 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2541 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2543 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2545 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2546 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2550 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2551 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2552 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2554 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2556 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2559 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2560 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2561 keywords because we need to localize them.
2562 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2564 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2565 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2566 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2569 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2573 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2574 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2577 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2578 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2579 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2581 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2583 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2584 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2585 bottom of your class file.
2588 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2591 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2593 - improved error message when loading modules so
2594 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2595 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2596 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2599 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2600 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2601 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2603 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2604 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2606 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2607 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2608 turn them on for you.
2609 - added tests for this
2610 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2611 in Moose::Meta::Class
2614 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2615 automatically turned on for you.
2616 - added tests for this
2619 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2620 - added tests for this
2621 - added some more edge case tests

2633 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2634 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2637 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2638 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2639 - This release works in combination with
2640 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2641 release because it uses the a new
2642 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2643 complete Role implementation. It has
2644 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2645 the the previous CPAN version. This
2646 release also lacks good updated docs,
2647 the official release will have updated docs.
2650 - refactored the keyword exports
2651 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2652 accepts more than one Role at a time
2653 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2654 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2657 - refactored the keyword exports
2658 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2659 accepts more than one Role at a time
2661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2662 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2663 string enumerations which can be used as
2665 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2668 - more careful checking of params to new()
2671 - much work done on the role composition
2672 - many new tests for conflict detection
2673 and composition edge cases
2674 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2675 looking at the tests
2677 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2678 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2679 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2681 * Moose::Meta::Class
2682 - some small changes to support the new
2684 - some small additions to support Roles
2686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2687 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2689 - some small changes to support the new
2691 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2692 with the 'handles' option
2693 - added several tests for this
2694 - no docs for this yet
2696 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2698 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2699 thanks to chansen for this commit
2700 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2701 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2702 on a per-attribute basis
2703 - added tests for this
2704 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2705 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2706 experimental feature and probably not finished
2707 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2708 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2709 - added tests for this
2712 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2714 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
2715 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
2716 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
2718 - added some tests for this
2719 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2720 thanks to chansen for this commit
2722 * Moose::Meta::Class
2723 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2724 construct_instance (for the better)
2726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2727 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2728 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
2730 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2731 - added type constraint unions
2732 - added tests for this
2733 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method
2734 - added tests for this

2739 - added tests for this
2740 - Roles can specify required methods now with
2741 the requires() keyword
