1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
6 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
9 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
11 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
12 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
15 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
19 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
20 methods during global destruction (doy)
23 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
24 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
29 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
33 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
34 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
35 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
38 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
39 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
40 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
43 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
44 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
47 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
48 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
49 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
52 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
53 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
54 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
55 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
57 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
58 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
59 of the Moose core (Sartak)
62 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
65 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
66 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
67 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
71 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
72 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
75 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
77 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
80 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
81 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
84 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
85 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
88 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
89 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
92 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
95 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
97 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
98 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
102 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
105 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
108 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
109 * More deprecations and renamings
110 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
111 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
112 when an object is constructed)
115 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
116 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
117 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
120 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
121 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
122 feature, and it works again.
125 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
127 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
129 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
130 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
131 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
134 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
135 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
136 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
137 message. Test provided by perigrin.
139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
140 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
141 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
142 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
143 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
146 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
147 metaclass object. (hdp)
149 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
150 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
151 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
152 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
153 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
154 point out this fact. (hdp)
156 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
157 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
159 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
160 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
163 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
164 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
165 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
166 called during instance construction were passed the
167 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
168 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
170 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
171 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
174 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
175 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
176 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
179 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
180 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
181 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
182 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
183 them, but they are not for "public" use.
186 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
188 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
189 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
190 when an object is constructed)
191 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
193 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
194 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
195 when an object is constructed)
196 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
197 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
198 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
201 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
203 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
204 * No changes from 0.72_01.
206 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
208 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
209 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
210 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
212 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
213 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
214 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
216 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
218 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
219 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
221 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
222 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
225 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
226 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
229 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
230 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
231 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
234 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
238 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
239 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
240 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
243 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
246 * Moose::Manual::Delta
247 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
248 with recommended workarounds.
250 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
251 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
253 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
254 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
255 (yes, spelled like that).
257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
258 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
261 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
262 changes in latest Class::MOP.
264 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
267 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
268 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
269 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
270 instead. Reported by doy.
272 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
274 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
275 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
278 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
279 message) is now deprecated.
280 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
281 often got it wrong. For example:
283 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
285 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
289 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
290 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
291 bite you in weird cases.
293 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
294 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
295 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
298 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
299 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
303 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
306 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
307 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
310 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
311 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
314 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
317 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
319 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
320 - added tests for this (stevan)
322 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
323 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
324 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
325 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
329 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
330 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
331 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
332 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
334 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
335 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
336 - added tests for this (rafl)
338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
339 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
340 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
341 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
345 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
346 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
349 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
350 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
351 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
353 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
355 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
356 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
359 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
360 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
361 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
362 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
365 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
366 error message did not specify the attribute name
369 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
371 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
373 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
374 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
375 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
378 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
381 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
383 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
384 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
385 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
386 of fixes and formatting improvements.
388 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
390 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
391 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
392 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
393 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
396 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
397 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
399 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
400 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
401 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
402 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
403 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
406 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
407 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
408 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
409 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
412 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
413 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
414 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
415 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
416 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
418 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
419 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
420 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
421 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
422 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
423 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
426 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
428 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
429 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
430 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
431 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
433 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
434 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
437 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
441 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
442 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
444 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
445 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
446 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
449 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
451 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
454 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
455 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
456 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
459 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
462 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
463 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
465 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
467 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
470 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
471 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
472 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
473 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
474 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
475 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
478 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
479 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
480 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
481 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
482 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
483 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
484 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
485 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
486 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
488 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
490 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
491 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
494 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
495 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
496 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
498 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
499 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
500 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
501 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
502 same methods for a single role did not work
503 right (worked just fine with multiple
505 - added test for this (stevan)
507 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
508 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
509 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
512 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
513 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
514 - added test for this (t0m)
517 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
518 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
519 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
522 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
523 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
524 - added test for this (t0m)
526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
527 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
528 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
529 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
530 - added test for this (perigrin)
533 - create method for constructing a role
535 - added test for this (Sartak)
536 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
537 - added test for this (Sartak)
540 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
542 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
543 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
544 methods is useful (Sartak)
546 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
548 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
552 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
553 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
554 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
555 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
556 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
557 - added tests for this (jdv79)
560 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
561 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
563 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
564 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
565 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
566 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
567 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
569 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
571 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
572 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
573 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
576 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
577 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
578 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
579 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
580 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
581 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
585 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
586 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
587 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
588 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
589 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
590 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
591 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
592 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
593 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
594 future. (jnapiorkowski)
596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
597 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
601 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
602 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
603 type. (jnapiorkowski)
604 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
606 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
608 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
609 predicate, and link to more details sections in
610 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
613 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
616 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
617 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
618 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
621 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
622 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
624 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
626 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
627 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
630 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
631 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
636 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
637 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
639 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
640 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
643 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
644 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
645 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
646 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
647 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
648 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
649 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
651 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
652 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
653 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
655 * Roles and role application
656 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
657 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
658 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
659 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
660 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
662 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
663 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
666 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
667 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
668 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
669 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
670 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
673 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
674 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
675 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
676 changes in the Moose internals.
678 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
680 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
683 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
684 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
685 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
686 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
688 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
689 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
690 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
691 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
694 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
695 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
696 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
697 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
698 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
699 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
700 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
701 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
702 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
703 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
704 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
705 constraint implementations.
707 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
711 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
712 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
713 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
714 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
715 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
716 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
717 - added tests for this (rafl)
720 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
721 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
722 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
723 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
724 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
725 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
726 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
727 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
730 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
731 - added tests for this (thepler)
733 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
734 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
735 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
736 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
741 * Moose::Meta::Method
744 * Moose::Error::Default
745 * Moose::Error::Croak
746 * Moose::Error::Confess
747 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
748 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
749 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
750 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
751 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
752 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
754 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
756 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
757 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
760 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
761 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
762 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
765 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
766 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
767 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
768 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
771 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
772 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
774 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
775 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
776 several major changes in this release of Moose.
777 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
780 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
782 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
783 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
785 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the

800 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
803 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
804 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

811 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
812 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
813 dependency to 0.64_07.

817 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
820 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
823 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
824 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
825 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
826 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
827 coincidental exception. (t0m).
828 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
830 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
831 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
833 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
835 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
836 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
840 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
841 method when that method was provided by another role being
842 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
843 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
845 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

852 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
853 - added test for this (t0m)
855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
856 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
857 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
859 - added test for this (t0m)
862 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
863 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
864 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
867 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
868 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
870 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
872 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
875 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
876 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
877 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
880 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
883 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
884 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
885 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
886 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
890 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
891 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
892 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
895 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
896 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
897 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
898 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
901 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
905 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
921 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
924 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
925 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
927 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
928 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
929 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

948 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
950 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
951 ... this is not my day today ...
953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
954 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
955 clone_and_inherit options still works for
956 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
957 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
960 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
961 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
962 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
963 in this release, except the fact that it includes
964 the changes that I didn't include in the last
967 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
969 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
970 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
971 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
972 this is not ever something you want to do
973 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
974 - added tests for this (stevan)
977 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)

999 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1002 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1003 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1004 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1005 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1006 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1007 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1008 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1009 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1010 - added tests for this
1012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1013 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1014 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1015 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1017 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1086 which was causing the indexer to choke
1088 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1089 (late night release engineering)--
1091 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1092 changes in this release

1105 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1108 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1109 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1110 method for immutablization to check if the
1111 destructor object even needs to be created

1115 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1116 - added more descriptive error message to help
1117 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1118 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1120 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1122 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1123 XS based functionality is now optional
1124 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1125 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1126 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1128 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1129 to take care of this, mostly we added
1130 support for the package_name and name
1131 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1132 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1133 support regexp matching of names
1134 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1135 - tests added for this
1136 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1137 is currently not supported in roles,
1138 but, ... patches welcome

1145 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1146 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1147 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1148 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1149 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1150 - added test for this
1152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1153 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1154 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the

1174 called by the inlined immutable
1176 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1179 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1180 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1181 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1184 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1188 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1189 causing occasional cpantester failures
1190 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1191 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1193 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1195 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1196 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1199 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1200 ->body when looping through the
1201 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1203 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1204 eating the $@ values, and so not
1205 working correctly, it still kind of
1206 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1207 - added tests for this
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1210 - added new recipe for immutable
1211 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1227 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1229 drink more coffee before
1230 doing release engineering
1232 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1233 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1234 modules. This fixes that.

1347 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1349 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1350 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1351 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

1353 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
1354 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

1376 - added tests for this
1378 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1379 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
1380 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
1381 - added tests for this
1382 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
1383 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else
1385 - added tests for this
1388 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
1389 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1392 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1393 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1394 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1395 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed

1398 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1399 support traits and their introspection.

1640 - added tests for this
1643 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1644 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1687 when they encounter overriden or modified
1688 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1689 - added tests for this
1691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1692 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1693 the | always creates a union and so is
1694 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1695 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1697 - added more tests for this
1699 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1702 * Parameterized Types
1703 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1704 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1705 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1706 They can also be nested:
1707 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1708 And work with the type unions as well:
1709 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1711 * Better Framework Extendability
1712 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1713 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1714 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1715 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1718 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1719 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1720 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1721 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1724 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1726 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

1956 so that you can actually document your
1957 attributes and inspect them through the

1961 * Moose::Meta::Class
1962 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1963 it will first look in for the class in the

1968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1969 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1970 - added test for this

1978 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1979 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1982 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1984 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1985 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1986 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1989 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1990 !! for this developer release to work !!
1992 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1993 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1994 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1995 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1996 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1997 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1998 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1999 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2000 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2001 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2002 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2004 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2005 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2006 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2007 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2010 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2012 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2013 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2014 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2016 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2018 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2019 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2022 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2023 called unless they actually need to be.
2024 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2025 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2026 DEMOLISH method present.
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2030 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2031 type constraint, which allows for a
2032 hand optimized version of the type
2033 constraint to be used when possible.
2034 - Any internally created type constraints
2035 now provide an optimized version as well.
2037 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2039 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2040 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2041 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2044 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2045 your class namespace of these exported
2048 * Moose::Meta::Class
2049 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2050 comes up during global destruction
2052 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2056 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2060 - changed how we do type checks so that
2061 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2064 - moved accessor generation methods to
2065 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2066 conform to the API changes from
2069 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2070 - changed how constraints are compiled
2071 so that we do less recursion and more
2072 iteration. This makes the type check
2074 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2078 - created this from methods formerly found in
2079 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2081 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2082 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2085 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2088 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2090 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2093 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2094 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2095 - added tests for this
2096 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2097 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2098 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2099 - removed tests for this
2101 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2103 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2104 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2105 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2108 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2109 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2110 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2112 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2113 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2114 comments for more info.
2117 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2118 asked questions and common problems
2120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2121 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2122 - added tests for this
2124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2125 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2126 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2127 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2129 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2130 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2133 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2134 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2135 is much appreciated :)
2136 - added tests for this
2138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2139 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2140 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2143 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2144 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2146 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2148 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2149 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2153 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2154 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2155 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2157 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2159 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2162 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2163 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2164 keywords because we need to localize them.
2165 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2167 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2168 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2169 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2172 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2176 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2177 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2180 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2181 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2182 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2184 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2186 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2187 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2188 bottom of your class file.
2191 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2194 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2196 - improved error message when loading modules so
2197 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2198 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2199 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2202 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2203 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2204 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2206 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2207 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2209 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2210 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2211 turn them on for you.
2212 - added tests for this
2213 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2214 in Moose::Meta::Class
2217 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2218 automatically turned on for you.

2240 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2241 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2242 - This release works in combination with
2243 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2244 release because it uses the a new
2245 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2246 complete Role implementation. It has
2247 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2248 the the previous CPAN version. This
2249 release also lacks good updated docs,
2250 the official release will have updated docs.
2253 - refactored the keyword exports
2254 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2255 accepts more than one Role at a time
2256 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2257 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2260 - refactored the keyword exports
2261 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2262 accepts more than one Role at a time
2264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2265 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2266 string enumerations which can be used as
2268 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2271 - more careful checking of params to new()
2274 - much work done on the role composition
2275 - many new tests for conflict detection
2276 and composition edge cases
2277 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2278 looking at the tests
2280 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2281 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2282 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2284 * Moose::Meta::Class
2285 - some small changes to support the new
2287 - some small additions to support Roles
2289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2290 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2292 - some small changes to support the new
2294 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2295 with the 'handles' option
2296 - added several tests for this
2297 - no docs for this yet
2299 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2301 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2302 thanks to chansen for this commit
2303 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2304 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2305 on a per-attribute basis
2306 - added tests for this
2307 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2308 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2309 experimental feature and probably not finished

2374 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2376 - added test for this
