1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Add Explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name (perigrin)
9 - pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether or not
10 we are currently in global destruction (doy)
11 - Add Explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name (perigrin)
13 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
14 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to modern
15 Moose hackers (Sartak)
18 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
19 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
22 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
23 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
24 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
27 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
28 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
29 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
30 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
32 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
33 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
34 of the Moose core (Sartak)
37 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
40 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
41 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
42 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
46 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
47 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
50 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
52 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
55 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
56 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
59 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
60 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
63 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
64 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
67 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
70 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
72 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
73 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
77 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
79 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
80 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
83 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
84 * More deprecations and renamings
85 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
86 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
87 when an object is constructed)
90 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
91 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
92 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
94 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
95 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
96 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
97 feature, and it works again.
100 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
102 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
104 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
105 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
106 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
108 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
109 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
110 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
111 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
112 message. Test provided by perigrin.
114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
115 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
116 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
117 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
118 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
121 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
122 metaclass object. (hdp)
124 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
125 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
126 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
127 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
128 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
129 point out this fact. (hdp)
131 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
132 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
134 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
135 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
139 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
140 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
141 called during instance construction were passed the
142 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
143 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
145 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
146 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
149 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
150 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
151 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
154 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
155 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
156 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
157 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
158 them, but they are not for "public" use.
161 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
163 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
164 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
165 when an object is constructed)
166 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
168 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
169 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
170 when an object is constructed)
171 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
172 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
173 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
176 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
178 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
179 * No changes from 0.72_01.
181 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
183 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
184 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
185 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
187 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
188 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
189 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
191 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
193 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
194 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
196 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
197 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
200 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
201 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
204 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
205 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
206 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
208 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
209 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
213 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
214 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
215 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
218 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
221 * Moose::Manual::Delta
222 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
223 with recommended workarounds.
225 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
226 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
229 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
230 (yes, spelled like that).
232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
233 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
236 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
237 changes in latest Class::MOP.
239 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
242 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
243 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
244 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
245 instead. Reported by doy.
247 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
249 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
250 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
253 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
254 message) is now deprecated.
255 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
256 often got it wrong. For example:
258 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
260 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
264 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
265 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
266 bite you in weird cases.
268 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
269 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
270 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
273 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
274 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
278 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
281 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
282 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
285 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
286 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
289 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
292 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
294 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
295 - added tests for this (stevan)
297 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
298 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
299 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
300 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
304 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
305 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
306 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
307 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
309 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
310 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
311 - added tests for this (rafl)
313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
314 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
315 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
316 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
320 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
321 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
324 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
325 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
326 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
328 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
330 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
331 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
334 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
335 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
336 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
337 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
340 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
341 error message did not specify the attribute name
344 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
346 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
348 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
349 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
350 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
353 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
356 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
358 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
359 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
360 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
361 of fixes and formatting improvements.
363 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
365 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
366 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
367 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
368 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
371 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
372 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
374 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
375 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
376 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
377 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
378 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
381 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
382 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
383 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
384 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
386 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
387 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
388 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
389 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
390 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
391 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
393 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
394 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
395 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
396 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
397 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
398 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
401 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
403 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
404 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
405 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
406 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
408 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
409 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
412 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
416 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
417 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
419 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
420 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
421 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
424 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
426 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
429 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
430 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
431 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
434 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
437 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
438 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
440 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
442 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
445 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
446 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
447 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
448 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
449 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
450 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
452 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
453 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
454 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
455 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
456 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
457 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
458 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
459 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
460 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
461 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
463 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
465 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
466 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
469 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
470 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
471 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
473 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
474 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
475 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
476 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
477 same methods for a single role did not work
478 right (worked just fine with multiple
480 - added test for this (stevan)
482 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
483 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
484 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
487 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
488 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
489 - added test for this (t0m)
492 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
493 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
494 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
498 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
499 - added test for this (t0m)
501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
502 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
503 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
504 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
505 - added test for this (perigrin)
508 - create method for constructing a role
510 - added test for this (Sartak)
511 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
512 - added test for this (Sartak)
515 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
517 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
518 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
519 methods is useful (Sartak)
521 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
523 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
527 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
528 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
529 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
530 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
531 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
532 - added tests for this (jdv79)
535 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
536 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
538 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
539 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
540 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
541 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
542 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
544 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
546 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
547 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
548 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
551 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
552 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
553 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
554 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
555 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
556 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
560 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
561 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
562 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
563 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
564 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
565 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
566 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
567 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
568 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
569 future. (jnapiorkowski)
571 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
572 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
575 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
576 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
577 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
578 type. (jnapiorkowski)
579 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
581 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
583 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
584 predicate, and link to more details sections in
585 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
587 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
588 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
591 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
592 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
593 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
596 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
597 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
599 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
601 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
602 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
605 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
606 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
610 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
611 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
612 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
614 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
615 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
618 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
619 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
620 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
621 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
622 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
623 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
624 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
626 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
627 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
628 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
630 * Roles and role application
631 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
632 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
633 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
634 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
635 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
637 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
638 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
641 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
642 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
643 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
644 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
645 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
648 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
649 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
650 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
651 changes in the Moose internals.
653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
654 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
655 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
659 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
660 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
661 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
664 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
665 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
666 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
669 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
670 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
671 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
672 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
673 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
674 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
675 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
676 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
677 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
678 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
679 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
680 constraint implementations.
682 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
686 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
687 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
688 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
689 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
690 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
691 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
692 - added tests for this (rafl)
695 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
696 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
697 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
698 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
699 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
700 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
701 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
702 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
705 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
706 - added tests for this (thepler)
708 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
709 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
710 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
711 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
716 * Moose::Meta::Method
719 * Moose::Error::Default
720 * Moose::Error::Croak
721 * Moose::Error::Confess
722 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
723 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
724 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
725 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
726 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
727 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
729 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
731 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
732 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
735 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
736 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
737 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
740 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
741 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
742 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
743 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
746 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
747 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
749 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
750 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
751 several major changes in this release of Moose.

794 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
795 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
799 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
800 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
801 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
802 coincidental exception. (t0m).
803 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
806 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
808 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
810 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
811 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
815 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required

827 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
828 - added test for this (t0m)
830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

832 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
834 - added test for this (t0m)
837 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
838 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
839 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
842 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
843 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
845 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
847 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
850 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
851 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
852 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
854 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
855 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
858 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

865 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
866 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
867 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
870 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
871 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
872 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
873 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
876 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body

923 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
925 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
926 ... this is not my day today ...
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
929 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
930 clone_and_inherit options still works for
931 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
932 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
935 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
936 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
937 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
938 in this release, except the fact that it includes
939 the changes that I didn't include in the last
942 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
944 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
945 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

947 this is not ever something you want to do
948 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

974 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
977 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
978 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
979 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
980 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
981 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
982 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
983 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
984 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
985 - added tests for this
987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
988 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
989 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
990 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
992 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1063 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1064 (late night release engineering)--
1066 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

1091 - added more descriptive error message to help
1092 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

1095 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1097 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1098 XS based functionality is now optional
1099 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1100 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1101 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1103 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1104 to take care of this, mostly we added
1105 support for the package_name and name
1106 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1107 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1108 support regexp matching of names
1109 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1110 - tests added for this
1111 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1112 is currently not supported in roles,
1113 but, ... patches welcome

1121 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1154 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1155 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1156 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

1171 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1174 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1175 ->body when looping through the
1176 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1178 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1179 eating the $@ values, and so not
1180 working correctly, it still kind of
1181 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1182 - added tests for this

1204 drink more coffee before
1205 doing release engineering
1207 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1208 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1209 modules. This fixes that.

1322 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1324 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1364 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1367 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1368 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1369 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1374 support traits and their introspection.
1375 - added tests for this

1531 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1532 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1533 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

1615 - added tests for this
1618 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1619 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1658 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1661 - fixed how required methods are handled
1662 when they encounter overriden or modified
1663 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1664 - added tests for this
1666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1667 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1668 the | always creates a union and so is
1669 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1670 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1672 - added more tests for this
1674 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1677 * Parameterized Types
1678 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1679 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1680 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1681 They can also be nested:
1682 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1683 And work with the type unions as well:
1684 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1686 * Better Framework Extendability
1687 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1688 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1689 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1690 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1693 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1694 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1695 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1696 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1699 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1701 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1702 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1930 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1931 so that you can actually document your
1932 attributes and inspect them through the

1936 * Moose::Meta::Class
1937 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1938 it will first look in for the class in the
1939 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1940 then default to just loading $name.
1941 - added tests and docs for this
1943 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1944 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1945 - added test for this
1948 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

1950 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1951 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1953 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1954 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1957 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1959 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1960 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1961 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1964 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1965 !! for this developer release to work !!
1967 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1968 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1969 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1970 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1971 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1972 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1973 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1974 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1975 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1976 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1977 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1979 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1980 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1981 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1982 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1985 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1987 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1988 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1989 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1991 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1993 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1994 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1997 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1998 called unless they actually need to be.
1999 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2000 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2001 DEMOLISH method present.
2003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2005 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2006 type constraint, which allows for a
2007 hand optimized version of the type
2008 constraint to be used when possible.
2009 - Any internally created type constraints
2010 now provide an optimized version as well.
2012 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2014 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2015 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2016 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2019 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2020 your class namespace of these exported
2023 * Moose::Meta::Class
2024 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2025 comes up during global destruction
2027 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2031 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2034 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2035 - changed how we do type checks so that
2036 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2039 - moved accessor generation methods to
2040 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2041 conform to the API changes from
2044 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2045 - changed how constraints are compiled
2046 so that we do less recursion and more
2047 iteration. This makes the type check
2049 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2053 - created this from methods formerly found in
2054 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2056 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2057 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2060 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2063 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2065 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2068 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2069 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2070 - added tests for this
2071 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2072 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2073 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2074 - removed tests for this
2076 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2078 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2079 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2080 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2083 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2084 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2085 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2087 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2088 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2089 comments for more info.
2092 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2093 asked questions and common problems
2095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2096 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2097 - added tests for this
2099 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2100 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2101 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2102 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2104 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2105 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2108 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2109 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2110 is much appreciated :)
2111 - added tests for this
2113 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2114 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2115 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2119 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2121 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2123 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2124 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2128 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2129 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2130 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2132 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2134 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2137 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2138 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2139 keywords because we need to localize them.
2140 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2142 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2143 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2144 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2147 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2151 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2152 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2155 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2156 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2157 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2159 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2161 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2162 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2163 bottom of your class file.
2166 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2169 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2171 - improved error message when loading modules so
2172 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2173 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2174 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2177 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2178 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2179 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2181 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2182 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2184 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2185 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2186 turn them on for you.
2187 - added tests for this
2188 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2189 in Moose::Meta::Class
2192 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2193 automatically turned on for you.
2194 - added tests for this
2197 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2198 - added tests for this
2199 - added some more edge case tests
2201 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
2202 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++

2212 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2215 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2216 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2217 - This release works in combination with
2218 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2219 release because it uses the a new
2220 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2221 complete Role implementation. It has
2222 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2223 the the previous CPAN version. This
2224 release also lacks good updated docs,
2225 the official release will have updated docs.
2228 - refactored the keyword exports
2229 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2230 accepts more than one Role at a time
2231 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2232 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2235 - refactored the keyword exports
2236 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2237 accepts more than one Role at a time
2239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2240 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2241 string enumerations which can be used as
2243 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2246 - more careful checking of params to new()
2249 - much work done on the role composition
2250 - many new tests for conflict detection
2251 and composition edge cases
2252 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2253 looking at the tests
2255 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2256 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2257 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2259 * Moose::Meta::Class
2260 - some small changes to support the new
2262 - some small additions to support Roles
2264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2265 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2267 - some small changes to support the new
2269 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2270 with the 'handles' option
2271 - added several tests for this
2272 - no docs for this yet
2274 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2276 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2277 thanks to chansen for this commit
2278 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2279 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2280 on a per-attribute basis
2281 - added tests for this
2282 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2283 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2284 experimental feature and probably not finished
2285 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2286 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2287 - added tests for this
2290 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2349 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2351 - added test for this
2354 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
