1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
9 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
11 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
15 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
17 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
21 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
22 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
23 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
25 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
29 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
30 skips every other role. (rjbs)
32 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
33 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
34 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
35 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
36 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
38 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
42 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
43 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
44 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
47 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
52 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
54 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
55 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
57 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
61 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
62 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
63 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
67 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
68 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
70 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
71 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
73 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
74 environments. (doy, mateu)
76 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
80 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
81 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
82 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
83 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
87 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
88 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
90 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
94 * Update conflicts list.
97 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
101 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
102 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
103 details. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
106 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
107 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
108 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
109 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
113 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
114 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
115 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
116 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
117 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
120 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
124 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
125 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
127 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
130 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
134 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
135 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
136 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
137 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
139 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
140 immutable classes). (mo)
142 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
143 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
144 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
146 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
150 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
152 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
154 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
158 * Fix some indexing issues.
160 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
162 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
166 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
167 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
168 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
169 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
170 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
172 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
173 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
178 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
179 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
180 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
181 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
183 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
184 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
185 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
189 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
190 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
193 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
197 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
198 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
202 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
206 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
207 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
208 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
209 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
212 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
216 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
219 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
223 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
224 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
225 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
228 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
232 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
233 policy. (Chris Prather)
235 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
236 on this new support policy. (doy)
240 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
241 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
242 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
244 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
245 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
247 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
251 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
252 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
253 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
254 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
257 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
261 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
262 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
265 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
269 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
270 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
272 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
273 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
277 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
278 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
279 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
280 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
281 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
282 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
284 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
285 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
287 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
288 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
289 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
290 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
292 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
293 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
295 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
300 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
301 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
303 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
307 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
308 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
309 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
311 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
315 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
316 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
317 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
319 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
320 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
323 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
324 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
327 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
328 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
329 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
331 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
332 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
337 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
338 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
339 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
340 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
342 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
343 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
345 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
346 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
348 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
349 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
350 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
351 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
353 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
354 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
355 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
358 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
359 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
360 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
361 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
363 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
364 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
367 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
368 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
369 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
371 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
375 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
376 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
377 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
379 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
380 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
381 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
384 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
385 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
386 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
388 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
389 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
390 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
392 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
393 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
397 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
398 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
399 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
401 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
402 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
403 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
404 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
406 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
410 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
411 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
412 value is a reference.
414 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
415 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
417 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
421 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
422 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
423 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
425 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
429 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
430 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
434 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
435 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
436 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
438 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
439 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
440 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
442 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
446 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
448 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
452 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
454 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
455 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
460 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
461 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
463 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
464 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
465 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
466 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
467 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
469 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
470 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
471 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
472 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
474 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
478 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
479 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
484 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
486 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
488 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
493 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
495 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
499 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
500 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
501 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
503 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
504 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
505 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
506 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
508 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
509 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
510 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
511 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
512 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
515 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
520 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
521 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
522 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
523 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
524 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
527 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
531 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
534 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
535 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
539 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
540 function (not just method). (doy)
544 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
545 and aren't easily installable/testable.
547 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
551 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
552 to be overridden more easily (doy).
554 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
558 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
559 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
561 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
565 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
566 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
567 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
569 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
573 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
574 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
575 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
577 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
578 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
582 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
583 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
585 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
586 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
590 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
591 is applied to a class (t0m).
593 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
594 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
596 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
599 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
600 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
602 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
603 be much more robust. (doy)
605 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
607 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
610 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
614 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
615 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
617 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
621 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
622 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
624 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
627 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
628 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
629 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
631 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
632 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
633 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
636 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
638 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
642 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
643 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
647 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
649 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
653 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
654 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
658 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
659 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
663 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
665 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
669 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
670 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
674 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
675 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
679 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
680 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
682 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
686 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
687 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
688 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
691 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
695 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
696 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
697 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
698 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
700 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
704 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
705 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
706 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
710 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
713 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
718 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
719 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
723 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
724 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
726 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
727 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
728 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
729 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
731 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
735 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
739 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
740 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
742 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
743 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
744 - Moose::Util::does_role
745 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
746 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
747 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
749 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
753 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
754 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
755 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
758 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
762 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
763 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
766 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
770 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
771 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
774 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
778 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
780 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
781 class. (Dave Rolsky).
783 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
784 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
785 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
787 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
788 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
789 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
792 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
793 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
795 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
796 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
797 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
799 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
801 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
802 substr et al, again. (sorear)
804 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
806 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
809 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
810 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
812 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
813 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
815 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
816 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
817 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
818 dependencies installed.
820 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
821 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
824 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
826 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
830 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
832 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
833 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
834 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
837 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
838 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
840 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
841 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
844 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
845 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
846 others. (nothingmuch)
848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
849 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
850 remove_accessors. (doy)
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
853 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
854 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
857 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
859 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
861 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
862 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
865 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
866 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
869 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
871 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
873 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
874 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
877 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
878 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
879 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
880 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
881 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
883 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
886 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
887 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
888 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
889 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
892 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
893 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
894 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
895 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
896 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
898 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
899 which were not receiving the value of
900 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
901 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
902 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
903 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
907 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
908 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
909 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
910 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
911 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
915 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
916 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
917 - added tests for this (Stevan)
920 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
921 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
922 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
925 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
927 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
929 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
930 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
931 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
934 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
935 class if you pass it options for
936 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
937 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
938 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
939 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
940 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
941 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
942 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
943 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
944 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
946 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
947 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
948 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
949 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
950 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
953 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
955 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
956 existing delegation API. (hdp)
958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
959 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
960 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
961 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
962 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
963 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
966 * Moose::Error::Croak
967 * Moose::Error::Confess
968 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
969 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
972 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
975 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
976 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
977 installing a broken sub. (doy)
980 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
983 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
984 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
985 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
987 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
988 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
989 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
990 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
991 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
994 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
997 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
999 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1000 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1003 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1004 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1007 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1008 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1009 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1011 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1012 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1013 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1014 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1015 using it for new code!
1017 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1019 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1020 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1022 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1023 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1024 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1025 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1026 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1027 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1028 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1029 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1032 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1035 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1036 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1040 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1043 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1044 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1046 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1048 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1049 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1051 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1052 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1053 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1055 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1056 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1057 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1060 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1062 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1063 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1064 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1065 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1067 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1069 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1073 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1074 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1076 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1077 associated_methods. (hdp)
1078 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1079 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1080 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1081 misspelled) arguments
1083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1084 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1085 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1086 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1089 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1090 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1092 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1096 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1097 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1100 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1101 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1103 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1104 * Moose::Meta::Class
1105 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1106 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1108 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1109 * Moose::Manual::Types
1110 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1111 string parsing rathole (mst)
1113 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1114 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1115 using plain objects instead
1117 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1118 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1119 that's what we need.
1121 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1122 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1123 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1124 three times today (perigrin)
1125 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1126 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1129 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1130 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1131 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1134 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1135 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1136 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1137 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1138 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1139 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1142 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1143 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1144 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1145 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1148 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1150 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1153 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1155 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1158 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1159 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1160 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1164 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1165 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1168 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1169 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1171 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1172 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1173 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1175 * Moose::Unsweetened
1176 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1178 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1179 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1182 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1186 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1187 methods during global destruction (doy)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Class
1190 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1191 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1192 consumption (Sartak)
1194 * Moose::Meta::Class
1195 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1196 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1199 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1200 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1203 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1204 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1206 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1208 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1212 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1213 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1214 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1217 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1218 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1219 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1222 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1224 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1226 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1229 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1230 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1231 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1232 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1235 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1236 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1239 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1242 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1243 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1244 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1248 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1249 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Class
1252 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1254 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1256 * Moose::Meta::Class
1257 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1258 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1261 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1262 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1265 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1266 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1269 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1272 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1275 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1278 * Moose::Meta::Class
1279 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1281 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1282 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1285 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1286 * More deprecations and renamings
1287 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1288 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1289 when an object is constructed)
1292 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1293 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1294 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1297 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1298 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1299 feature, and it works again.
1302 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1304 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1306 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1307 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1308 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1311 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1312 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1313 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1314 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1316 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1317 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1318 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1319 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1320 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1323 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1324 metaclass object. (hdp)
1326 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1330 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1331 point out this fact. (hdp)
1333 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1334 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1337 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1339 * Moose::Meta::Class
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1341 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1342 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1343 called during instance construction were passed the
1344 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1345 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1347 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1348 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1351 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1352 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1353 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1356 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1357 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1358 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1359 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1360 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1362 - Moose::Meta::Class
1363 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1365 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1366 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1367 when an object is constructed)
1368 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1370 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1371 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1372 when an object is constructed)
1373 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1374 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1375 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1378 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1380 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1381 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1383 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1385 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1386 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1387 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1390 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1391 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1393 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1395 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1396 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1398 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1399 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1402 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1403 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1406 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1407 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1408 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1411 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1415 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1416 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1417 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1420 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1423 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1424 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1425 with recommended workarounds.
1427 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1428 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1431 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1432 (yes, spelled like that).
1434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1435 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1437 * Moose::Meta::Class
1438 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1439 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1441 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1444 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1445 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1446 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1447 instead. Reported by doy.
1449 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1451 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1452 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1455 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1456 message) is now deprecated.
1457 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1458 often got it wrong. For example:
1460 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1462 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1466 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1467 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1468 bite you in weird cases.
1470 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1472 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1473 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1476 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1480 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1483 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1484 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1487 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1488 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1491 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1494 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1495 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1496 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1497 - added tests for this (stevan)
1499 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1500 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1501 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1502 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1506 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1507 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1508 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1509 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1511 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1512 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1513 - added tests for this (rafl)
1515 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1516 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1517 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1518 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1522 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1523 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1527 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1528 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1532 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1533 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1535 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1536 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1537 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1538 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1539 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1542 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1543 error message did not specify the attribute name
1546 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1548 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1550 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1551 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1552 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1555 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1558 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1560 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1561 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1562 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1563 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1565 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1567 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1568 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1569 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1570 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1573 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1574 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1577 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1578 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1579 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1580 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1583 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1584 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1585 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1586 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1589 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1590 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1591 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1592 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1593 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1595 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1596 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1597 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1598 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1599 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1600 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1603 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1605 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1606 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1607 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1608 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1611 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1614 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1618 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1619 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1621 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1622 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1623 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1624 guts. (nothingmuch).
1626 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1628 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1631 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1632 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1633 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1635 * Moose::Meta::Class
1636 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1639 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1640 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1643 * Moose::Unsweetened
1644 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1647 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1648 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1649 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1650 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1651 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1652 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1655 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1656 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1657 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1658 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1659 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1660 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1662 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1663 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1665 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1667 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1668 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1671 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1672 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1673 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1675 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1676 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1677 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1678 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1679 same methods for a single role did not work
1680 right (worked just fine with multiple
1682 - added test for this (stevan)
1684 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1685 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1686 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1689 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1690 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1691 - added test for this (t0m)
1694 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1695 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1696 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1699 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1700 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1701 - added test for this (t0m)
1703 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1704 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1705 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1706 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1707 - added test for this (perigrin)
1710 - create method for constructing a role
1711 dynamically (Sartak)
1712 - added test for this (Sartak)
1713 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1714 - added test for this (Sartak)
1717 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1719 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1720 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1721 methods is useful (Sartak)
1723 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1725 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1728 * Moose::Meta::Class
1729 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1730 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1731 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1732 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1733 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1734 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1737 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1738 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1742 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1743 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1744 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1746 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1748 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1749 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1750 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1753 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1754 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1755 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1756 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1757 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1758 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1762 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1763 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1764 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1765 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1766 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1767 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1768 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1769 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1770 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1771 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1774 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1778 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1779 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1780 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1781 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1783 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1785 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1786 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1787 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1790 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1793 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1794 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1795 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1798 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1799 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1801 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1803 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1804 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1806 * Moose::Meta::Class
1807 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1808 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1809 a required attribute
1811 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1813 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1814 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1816 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1817 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1820 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1821 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1822 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1823 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1824 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1825 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1826 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1829 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1830 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1832 * Roles and role application
1833 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1834 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1835 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1836 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1837 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1839 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1840 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1843 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1844 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1845 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1846 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1847 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1850 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1851 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1852 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1853 changes in the Moose internals.
1855 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1857 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1861 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1862 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1863 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1865 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1866 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1867 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1868 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1871 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1872 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1873 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1874 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1875 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1876 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1877 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1878 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1879 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1880 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1881 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1882 constraint implementations.
1884 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1888 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1889 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1890 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1891 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1892 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1893 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1894 - added tests for this (rafl)
1896 * Moose::Meta::Class
1897 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1898 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1899 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1900 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1901 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1902 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1903 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1907 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1908 - added tests for this (thepler)
1910 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1911 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1912 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1913 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1916 * Moose::Meta::Class
1917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1918 * Moose::Meta::Method
1921 * Moose::Error::Default
1922 * Moose::Error::Croak
1923 * Moose::Error::Confess
1924 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1925 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1926 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1927 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1928 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1929 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1931 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1933 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1934 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1936 * Moose::Unsweetened
1937 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1938 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1939 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1942 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1943 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1944 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1945 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1948 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1949 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1951 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1952 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1953 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1954 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1957 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1959 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1960 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1962 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1965 - Various bug fixes.
1967 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1968 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1970 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1972 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1973 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1974 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1975 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1976 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1977 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1979 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1980 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1981 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1983 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1984 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1985 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1988 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1989 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1990 dependency to 0.64_07.
1992 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1993 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1994 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1997 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2001 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2002 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2003 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2004 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2005 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2007 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2008 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2010 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2012 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2013 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2017 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2018 method when that method was provided by another role being
2019 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2020 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2022 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2024 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2025 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2027 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2028 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2029 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2030 - added test for this (t0m)
2032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2033 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2034 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2036 - added test for this (t0m)
2039 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2040 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2041 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2044 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2045 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2047 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2049 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2050 easier (Dave Rolsky)

2128 ... this is not my day today ...
2130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2131 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2132 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2133 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2134 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2137 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2138 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2139 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2140 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2141 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2144 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2146 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2147 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2179 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2180 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2181 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2182 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2183 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2184 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2185 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2186 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2187 - added tests for this
2189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2190 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2300 XS based functionality is now optional
2301 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2750 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2751 - added tests for this
2753 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2755 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2756 types without having to explictly define them
2757 - added tests for this
2759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2760 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2761 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2763 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2765 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2766 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2767 - added tests for this
2768 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2769 a single type at different times instead of
2770 having to do it all in one place
2771 - added tests for this
2773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2774 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2775 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2778 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2779 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2780 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2781 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2782 new features above (although you cannot add
2783 more type coercions for Union types)
2785 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2786 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2787 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2789 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2790 - added tests for this.
2791 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2792 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2793 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2794 - added tests for this
2795 - added docs for this
2797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2798 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2799 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2800 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2801 instead it will just return undef.
2802 - added docs for this
2804 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2815 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2816 with work correctly.
2817 - added tests for this
2820 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2821 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2824 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2825 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2826 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2828 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2839 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2840 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2842 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2860 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2863 - fixed how required methods are handled
2864 when they encounter overriden or modified
2865 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2866 - added tests for this
2868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2869 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2870 the | always creates a union and so is
2871 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2872 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2874 - added more tests for this
2876 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2879 * Parameterized Types
2880 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2881 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2882 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2883 They can also be nested:
2884 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2885 And work with the type unions as well:
2886 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2888 * Better Framework Extendability
2889 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2890 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2891 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2892 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2895 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2896 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2897 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2898 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2901 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2903 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2904 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2963 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2964 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2966 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2967 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

2983 (thanks to shlomif).
2985 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2986 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2987 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2988 - added tests for this

2991 - added tests for this
2993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

3025 - added tests for these
3027 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3028 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3031 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

3036 (but not changing the handles option)
3037 - added tests and docs for this
3040 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3041 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3045 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3046 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3052 the other side (perigrin)
3054 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3056 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3057 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3058 prototypes for functions
3059 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3060 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3070 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3073 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3074 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3075 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3076 - added tests for this
3078 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3080 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3098 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3099 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3101 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3102 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3104 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3105 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3106 so this release is just to fix that.
3109 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3110 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3111 (thanks to konobi for this)
3112 - added tests and docs
3114 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3115 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3118 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3119 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3120 - added tests for this

3122 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3123 functions to facilitate introspection.
3125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3126 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3127 to build the list of delegated methods
3128 correctly (and not override important
3129 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3131 - added tests and docs for this
3132 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3133 so that you can actually document your
3134 attributes and inspect them through the
3136 - added tests and docs for this
3138 * Moose::Meta::Class
3139 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3140 it will first look in for the class in the
3141 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3142 then default to just loading $name.
3143 - added tests and docs for this
3145 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3146 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3147 - added test for this
3150 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3151 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3152 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3153 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3155 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3156 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3159 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3161 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3162 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3163 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3166 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3167 !! for this developer release to work !!
3169 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3170 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3171 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3172 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3173 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3174 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3175 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3176 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3177 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3178 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3179 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3181 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3182 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3183 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3184 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3187 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3188 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3189 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3190 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3191 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3193 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3195 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3196 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3199 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3200 called unless they actually need to be.
3201 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3202 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3203 DEMOLISH method present.
3205 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3207 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3208 type constraint, which allows for a
3209 hand optimized version of the type
3210 constraint to be used when possible.
3211 - Any internally created type constraints
3212 now provide an optimized version as well.
3214 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3216 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3217 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3218 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3221 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3222 your class namespace of these exported
3225 * Moose::Meta::Class
3226 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3227 comes up during global destruction
3229 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3233 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3237 - changed how we do type checks so that
3238 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3241 - moved accessor generation methods to
3242 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3243 conform to the API changes from
3246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3247 - changed how constraints are compiled
3248 so that we do less recursion and more
3249 iteration. This makes the type check
3251 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3255 - created this from methods formerly found in
3256 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3258 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3259 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3262 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3265 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3267 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3270 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3271 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3272 - added tests for this
3273 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3274 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3275 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3276 - removed tests for this
3278 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3280 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3281 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3282 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3285 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3286 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3287 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3289 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3290 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3291 comments for more info.
3294 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3295 asked questions and common problems
3297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3298 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3299 - added tests for this
3301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3302 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3303 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3304 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3306 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3307 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3310 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3311 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3312 is much appreciated :)
3313 - added tests for this
3315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3316 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3317 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3321 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3323 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3325 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3326 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3330 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3331 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3332 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3334 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3336 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3339 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3340 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3341 keywords because we need to localize them.
3342 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3344 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3345 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3346 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3349 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3352 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3353 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3354 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3357 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3358 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3359 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3361 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3363 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3364 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3365 bottom of your class file.
3368 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3371 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3373 - improved error message when loading modules so
3374 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3375 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3376 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3379 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3380 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3381 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3383 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3384 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3386 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3387 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3388 turn them on for you.
3389 - added tests for this
3390 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3391 in Moose::Meta::Class
3394 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3395 automatically turned on for you.
3396 - added tests for this
3399 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3400 - added tests for this
3401 - added some more edge case tests

3413 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3414 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3417 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3418 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3419 - This release works in combination with
3420 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3421 release because it uses the a new
3422 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3423 complete Role implementation. It has
3424 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3425 the the previous CPAN version. This
3426 release also lacks good updated docs,
3427 the official release will have updated docs.
3430 - refactored the keyword exports
3431 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3432 accepts more than one Role at a time
3433 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3434 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3437 - refactored the keyword exports
3438 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3439 accepts more than one Role at a time
3441 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3442 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3443 string enumerations which can be used as
3445 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3448 - more careful checking of params to new()
3451 - much work done on the role composition
3452 - many new tests for conflict detection
3453 and composition edge cases
3454 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3455 looking at the tests

3478 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3479 thanks to chansen for this commit
3480 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
