1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
5 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
8 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
10 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
11 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
14 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
15 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
18 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
19 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
20 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
21 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
22 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
24 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
26 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
30 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
33 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
34 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
36 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
37 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
38 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
40 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
41 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
44 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
45 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
48 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
49 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
50 remove_accessors. (doy)
52 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
53 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
54 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
56 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
57 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
59 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
60 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
61 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
62 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
65 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
66 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
68 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
69 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
71 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
73 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
74 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
77 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
78 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
79 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
80 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
81 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
83 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
84 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
85 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
86 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
87 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
88 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
89 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
92 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
93 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
94 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
95 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
96 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
98 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
99 which were not receiving the value of
100 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
101 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
102 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
103 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
107 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
108 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
109 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
110 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
111 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
115 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
116 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
117 - added tests for this (Stevan)
120 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
121 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
122 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
125 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
127 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
130 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
131 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
134 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
135 class if you pass it options for
136 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
137 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
138 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
139 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
140 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
141 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
142 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
143 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
144 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
146 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
147 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
148 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
149 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
150 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
153 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
155 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
156 existing delegation API. (hdp)
158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
159 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
160 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
161 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
162 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
163 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
166 * Moose::Error::Croak
167 * Moose::Error::Confess
168 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
169 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
172 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
175 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
176 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
177 installing a broken sub. (doy)
180 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
183 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
184 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
185 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
187 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
188 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
189 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
190 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
191 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
194 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
197 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
199 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
200 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
203 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
204 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
207 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
208 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
209 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
212 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
213 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
214 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
215 using it for new code!
217 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
218 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
219 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
220 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
222 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
223 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
224 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
225 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
226 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
227 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
228 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
229 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
232 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
235 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
236 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
240 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
243 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
244 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
248 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
249 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
252 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
253 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
256 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
257 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
260 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
262 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
263 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
264 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
265 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
267 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
269 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
273 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
274 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
276 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
277 associated_methods. (hdp)
278 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
279 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
280 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
281 misspelled) arguments
283 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
284 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
285 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
286 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
290 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
292 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
296 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
297 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
300 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
301 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
303 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
305 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
306 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
308 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
309 * Moose::Manual::Types
310 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
311 string parsing rathole (mst)
313 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
314 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
315 using plain objects instead
317 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
318 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
321 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
323 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
324 three times today (perigrin)
325 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
326 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
329 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
330 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
331 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
334 - A role's required methods are now represented by
335 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
336 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
337 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
338 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
339 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
342 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
343 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
344 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
345 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
348 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
350 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
353 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
355 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
358 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
359 during global destruction. This method has been made more
360 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
364 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
365 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
368 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
369 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
371 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
372 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
373 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
376 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
378 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
379 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
382 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
386 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
387 methods during global destruction (doy)
390 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
391 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
395 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
396 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
399 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
400 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
403 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
404 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
406 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
408 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
412 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
413 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
414 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
417 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
418 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
419 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
422 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
424 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
426 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
430 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
431 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
432 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
434 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
435 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
436 of the Moose core (Sartak)
439 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
442 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
443 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
444 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
448 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
449 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
452 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
454 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
457 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
458 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
461 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
462 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
465 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
466 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
469 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
472 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
475 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
479 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
482 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
485 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
486 * More deprecations and renamings
487 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
488 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
489 when an object is constructed)
492 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
493 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
494 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
496 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
497 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
498 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
499 feature, and it works again.
502 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
504 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
506 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
507 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
508 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
510 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
511 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
512 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
513 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
514 message. Test provided by perigrin.
516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
517 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
518 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
519 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
520 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
523 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
524 metaclass object. (hdp)
526 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
527 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
528 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
529 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
530 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
531 point out this fact. (hdp)
533 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
534 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
536 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
537 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
541 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
542 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
543 called during instance construction were passed the
544 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
545 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
547 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
548 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
551 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
552 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
553 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
556 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
557 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
558 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
559 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
560 them, but they are not for "public" use.
563 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
565 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
566 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
567 when an object is constructed)
568 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
570 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
571 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
572 when an object is constructed)
573 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
574 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
575 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
578 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
580 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
581 * No changes from 0.72_01.
583 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
585 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
586 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
587 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
589 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
590 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
591 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
593 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
595 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
596 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
598 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
599 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
602 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
603 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
606 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
607 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
608 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
611 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
615 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
616 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
617 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
620 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
623 * Moose::Manual::Delta
624 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
625 with recommended workarounds.
627 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
628 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
631 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
632 (yes, spelled like that).
634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
635 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
638 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
639 changes in latest Class::MOP.
641 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
644 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
645 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
646 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
647 instead. Reported by doy.
649 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
651 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
652 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
655 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
656 message) is now deprecated.
657 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
658 often got it wrong. For example:
660 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
662 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
666 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
667 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
668 bite you in weird cases.
670 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
671 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
672 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
675 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
676 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
680 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
683 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
684 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
687 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
688 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
691 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
694 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
696 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
697 - added tests for this (stevan)
699 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
700 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
701 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
702 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
706 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
707 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
708 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
709 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
711 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
712 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
713 - added tests for this (rafl)
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
716 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
717 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
718 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
722 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
723 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
726 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
727 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
728 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
730 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
732 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
733 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
736 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
737 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
738 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
739 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
742 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
743 error message did not specify the attribute name
746 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
748 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
750 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
751 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
752 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
755 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
758 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
760 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
761 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
762 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
763 of fixes and formatting improvements.
765 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
767 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
768 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
769 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
770 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
773 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
774 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
777 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
778 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
779 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
780 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
783 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
784 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
785 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
786 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
789 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
790 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
791 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
792 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
793 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
795 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
796 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
797 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
798 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
799 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
800 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
803 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
805 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
806 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
807 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
808 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
811 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
814 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
818 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
819 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
822 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
823 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
826 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
828 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
831 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
832 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
833 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
836 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
839 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
840 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
842 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
844 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
847 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
848 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
849 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
850 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
851 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
852 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
855 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
856 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
857 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
858 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
859 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
860 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
861 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
862 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
863 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
865 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
867 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
868 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
871 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
872 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
873 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
875 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
876 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
877 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
878 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
879 same methods for a single role did not work
880 right (worked just fine with multiple
882 - added test for this (stevan)
884 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
885 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
886 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
889 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
890 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
891 - added test for this (t0m)
894 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
895 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
896 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
899 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
900 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
901 - added test for this (t0m)
903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
904 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
905 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
906 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
907 - added test for this (perigrin)
910 - create method for constructing a role
912 - added test for this (Sartak)
913 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
914 - added test for this (Sartak)
917 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
919 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
920 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
921 methods is useful (Sartak)
923 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
925 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
929 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
930 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
931 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
932 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
933 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
934 - added tests for this (jdv79)
937 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
938 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
940 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
941 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
942 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
943 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
944 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
946 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
948 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
949 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
950 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
953 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
954 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
955 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
956 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
957 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
958 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
962 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
963 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
964 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
965 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
966 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
967 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
968 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
969 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
970 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
971 future. (jnapiorkowski)
973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
974 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
978 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
979 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
980 type. (jnapiorkowski)
981 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
983 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
985 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
986 predicate, and link to more details sections in
987 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
989 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
990 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
993 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
994 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
995 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
998 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
999 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1001 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1003 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1004 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Class
1007 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1008 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1009 a required attribute
1011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1012 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1013 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1014 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1017 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1020 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1021 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1022 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1023 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1024 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1025 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1026 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1029 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1030 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1032 * Roles and role application
1033 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1034 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1035 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1036 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1037 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1039 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1040 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1043 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1044 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1045 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1046 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1047 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1050 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1051 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1052 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1053 changes in the Moose internals.
1055 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1056 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1057 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1060 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1061 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1062 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1063 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1066 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1067 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1068 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1071 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1072 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1073 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1074 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1075 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1076 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1077 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1078 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1079 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1080 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1081 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1082 constraint implementations.
1084 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1088 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1089 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1090 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1091 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1092 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1093 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 - added tests for this (rafl)
1096 * Moose::Meta::Class
1097 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1098 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1099 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1100 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1101 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1102 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1103 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1107 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1108 - added tests for this (thepler)
1110 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1111 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1112 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1113 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1116 * Moose::Meta::Class
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1118 * Moose::Meta::Method
1121 * Moose::Error::Default
1122 * Moose::Error::Croak
1123 * Moose::Error::Confess
1124 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1125 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1126 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1127 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1128 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1129 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1131 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1133 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1134 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 * Moose::Unsweetened
1137 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1138 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1139 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1142 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1143 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1144 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1145 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1148 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1149 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1151 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1152 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1153 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1154 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1157 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1159 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1160 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1162 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1165 - Various bug fixes.
1167 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1168 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1170 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1172 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1173 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1174 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1175 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1176 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1177 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1179 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1180 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1181 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1184 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1185 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1188 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1189 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1190 dependency to 0.64_07.
1192 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1193 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1194 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1197 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1201 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1202 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1203 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1204 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1205 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1208 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1210 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1212 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1213 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1217 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1218 method when that method was provided by another role being
1219 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1222 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1224 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1225 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1228 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1229 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1230 - added test for this (t0m)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1233 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1234 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1236 - added test for this (t0m)
1239 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1240 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1241 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1245 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1247 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1249 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1250 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1252 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1253 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1254 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1257 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1260 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1262 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1263 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1267 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1268 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1269 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1272 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1273 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1274 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1275 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1278 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1282 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1283 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1284 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1286 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1288 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1289 created so that the process can be more easily
1290 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1292 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1293 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1294 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1295 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1298 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1301 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1302 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1305 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1306 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1308 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1309 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1310 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1313 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1315 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1316 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1320 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1324 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1325 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1327 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1328 ... this is not my day today ...
1330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1331 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1332 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1333 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1334 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1337 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1338 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1339 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1340 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1341 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1344 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1346 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1347 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1348 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1349 this is not ever something you want to do

1379 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1380 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1381 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1382 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1383 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1384 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1385 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1386 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1387 - added tests for this
1389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1390 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1500 XS based functionality is now optional
1501 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1502 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1503 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1724 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1726 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2042 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2059 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2060 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2063 - fixed how required methods are handled
2064 when they encounter overriden or modified
2065 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2066 - added tests for this
2068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2069 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2070 the | always creates a union and so is
2071 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2072 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2074 - added more tests for this
2076 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2079 * Parameterized Types
2080 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2081 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2082 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2083 They can also be nested:
2084 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2085 And work with the type unions as well:
2086 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2088 * Better Framework Extendability
2089 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2090 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2091 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2092 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2095 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2096 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2097 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2098 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2101 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~

2153 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2155 - added tests for this
2157 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2163 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2164 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2166 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2183 (thanks to shlomif).
2185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2186 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2187 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2236 (but not changing the handles option)
2237 - added tests and docs for this
2240 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2241 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2252 the other side (perigrin)
2254 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2256 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2257 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2258 prototypes for functions
2259 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2260 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2270 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2273 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2274 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2275 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2276 - added tests for this
2278 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2280 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2296 * Moose::Meta::Class
2297 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2298 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2299 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2301 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2302 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2304 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2305 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2306 so this release is just to fix that.
2309 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2310 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2311 (thanks to konobi for this)
2312 - added tests and docs
2314 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2315 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2318 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2319 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2320 - added tests for this

2322 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2323 functions to facilitate introspection.
2325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2326 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2327 to build the list of delegated methods
2328 correctly (and not override important
2329 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2331 - added tests and docs for this
2332 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2333 so that you can actually document your
2334 attributes and inspect them through the
2336 - added tests and docs for this
2338 * Moose::Meta::Class
2339 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2340 it will first look in for the class in the
2341 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2342 then default to just loading $name.
2343 - added tests and docs for this
2345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2346 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2347 - added test for this
2350 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2351 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2352 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2353 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2355 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2356 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2359 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2361 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2362 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2363 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2366 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2367 !! for this developer release to work !!
2369 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2370 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2371 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2372 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2373 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2374 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2375 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2376 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2377 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2378 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2379 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2381 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2382 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2383 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2384 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2387 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2389 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2390 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2391 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2393 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2395 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2396 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2399 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2400 called unless they actually need to be.
2401 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2402 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2403 DEMOLISH method present.
2405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2406 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2407 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2408 type constraint, which allows for a
2409 hand optimized version of the type
2410 constraint to be used when possible.
2411 - Any internally created type constraints
2412 now provide an optimized version as well.
2414 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2416 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2417 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2418 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2421 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2422 your class namespace of these exported
2425 * Moose::Meta::Class
2426 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2427 comes up during global destruction
2429 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2433 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2437 - changed how we do type checks so that
2438 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2441 - moved accessor generation methods to
2442 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2443 conform to the API changes from
2446 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2447 - changed how constraints are compiled
2448 so that we do less recursion and more
2449 iteration. This makes the type check
2451 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2455 - created this from methods formerly found in
2456 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2458 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2459 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2462 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2465 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2467 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2470 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2471 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2472 - added tests for this
2473 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2474 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2475 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2476 - removed tests for this
2478 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2480 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2481 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2482 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2485 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2486 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2487 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2489 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2490 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2491 comments for more info.
2494 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2495 asked questions and common problems
2497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2498 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2499 - added tests for this
2501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2502 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2503 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2504 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2506 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2507 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2510 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2511 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2512 is much appreciated :)
2513 - added tests for this
2515 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2516 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2517 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2521 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2523 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2525 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2526 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2530 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2531 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2532 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2534 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2536 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2539 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2540 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2541 keywords because we need to localize them.
2542 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2544 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2545 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2546 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2549 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2552 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2553 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2554 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2557 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2558 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2559 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2561 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2563 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2564 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2565 bottom of your class file.
2568 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2571 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2573 - improved error message when loading modules so
2574 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2575 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2576 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2579 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2580 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2581 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2583 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2584 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2586 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2587 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2588 turn them on for you.
2589 - added tests for this
2590 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2591 in Moose::Meta::Class
2594 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2595 automatically turned on for you.
2596 - added tests for this
2599 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2600 - added tests for this
2601 - added some more edge case tests

2614 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2617 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2618 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2619 - This release works in combination with
2620 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2621 release because it uses the a new
2622 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2623 complete Role implementation. It has
2624 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2625 the the previous CPAN version. This
2626 release also lacks good updated docs,
2627 the official release will have updated docs.
2630 - refactored the keyword exports
2631 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2632 accepts more than one Role at a time
2633 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2634 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2637 - refactored the keyword exports
2638 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2639 accepts more than one Role at a time
2641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2642 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2643 string enumerations which can be used as
2645 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2648 - more careful checking of params to new()
2651 - much work done on the role composition
2652 - many new tests for conflict detection
2653 and composition edge cases
2654 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2655 looking at the tests
2657 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2658 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2659 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2661 * Moose::Meta::Class
2662 - some small changes to support the new
2664 - some small additions to support Roles
2666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2667 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2669 - some small changes to support the new
2671 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2672 with the 'handles' option
2673 - added several tests for this
2674 - no docs for this yet
2676 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2678 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2679 thanks to chansen for this commit
2680 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2681 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2682 on a per-attribute basis
2683 - added tests for this
2684 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2685 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2686 experimental feature and probably not finished
2687 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2688 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2689 - added tests for this
2692 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2703 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2704 construct_instance (for the better)
2706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2707 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2708 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
