1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
9 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
10 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
12 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
13 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
17 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
18 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
20 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
21 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
25 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
26 is applied to a class (t0m).
28 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
29 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
31 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
34 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
35 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
37 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
38 be much more robust. (doy)
40 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
42 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
45 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
49 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
50 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
52 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
56 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
57 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
59 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
62 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
63 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
64 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
66 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
67 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
68 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
71 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
73 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
77 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
78 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
82 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
84 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
88 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
89 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
93 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
94 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
98 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
100 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
104 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
105 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
109 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
110 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
114 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
115 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
117 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
121 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
122 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
123 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
126 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
130 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
131 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
132 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
133 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
135 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
139 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
140 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
141 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
145 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
148 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
152 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
153 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
154 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
158 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
159 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
161 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
162 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
163 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
164 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
166 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
170 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
174 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
175 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
177 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
178 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
179 - Moose::Util::does_role
180 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
181 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
182 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
184 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
188 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
189 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
190 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
193 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
197 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
198 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
201 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
205 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
206 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
209 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
213 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
215 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
216 class. (Dave Rolsky).
218 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
219 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
220 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
222 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
223 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
224 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
227 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
228 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
230 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
231 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
232 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
234 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
236 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
237 substr et al, again. (sorear)
239 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
241 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
244 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
245 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
247 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
248 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
250 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
251 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
252 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
253 dependencies installed.
255 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
256 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
259 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
261 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
265 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
268 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
269 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
272 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
273 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
275 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
276 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
279 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
280 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
281 others. (nothingmuch)
283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
284 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
285 remove_accessors. (doy)
287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
288 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
289 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
292 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
294 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
296 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
297 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
300 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
301 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
303 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
304 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
306 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
308 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
309 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
313 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
314 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
315 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
316 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
318 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
321 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
322 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
323 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
324 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
327 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
328 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
329 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
330 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
331 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
333 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
334 which were not receiving the value of
335 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
336 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
337 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
338 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
342 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
343 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
344 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
345 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
346 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
350 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
351 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
352 - added tests for this (Stevan)
355 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
356 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
357 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
360 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
362 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
365 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
366 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
369 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
370 class if you pass it options for
371 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
372 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
373 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
374 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
375 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
376 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
377 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
378 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
379 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
381 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
382 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
383 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
384 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
385 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
388 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
390 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
391 existing delegation API. (hdp)
393 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
394 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
395 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
396 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
397 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
398 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
401 * Moose::Error::Croak
402 * Moose::Error::Confess
403 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
404 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
407 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
410 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
411 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
412 installing a broken sub. (doy)
415 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
418 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
419 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
420 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
422 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
424 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
425 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
426 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
429 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
432 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
434 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
435 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
438 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
439 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
441 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
443 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
444 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
447 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
448 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
449 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
450 using it for new code!
452 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
453 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
454 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
455 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
457 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
458 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
459 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
460 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
461 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
462 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
463 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
464 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
467 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
470 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
471 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
475 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
478 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
479 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
482 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
483 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
484 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
487 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
488 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
491 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
492 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
495 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
498 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
499 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
500 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
502 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
504 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
507 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
508 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
509 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
511 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
512 associated_methods. (hdp)
513 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
514 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
515 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
516 misspelled) arguments
518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
519 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
520 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
521 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
525 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
527 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
531 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
532 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
535 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
536 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
538 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
540 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
541 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
543 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
544 * Moose::Manual::Types
545 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
546 string parsing rathole (mst)
548 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
549 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
550 using plain objects instead
552 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
553 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
556 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
558 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
559 three times today (perigrin)
560 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
561 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
564 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
565 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
566 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
569 - A role's required methods are now represented by
570 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
571 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
572 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
573 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
574 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
577 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
578 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
579 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
580 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
583 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
585 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
588 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
590 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
593 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
594 during global destruction. This method has been made more
595 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
599 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
600 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
603 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
604 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
606 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
607 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
608 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
611 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
613 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
614 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
617 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
621 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
622 methods during global destruction (doy)
625 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
626 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
630 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
631 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
634 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
635 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
638 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
639 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
641 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
643 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
647 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
648 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
649 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
652 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
653 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
654 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
657 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
659 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
661 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
664 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
665 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
666 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
667 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
670 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
671 of the Moose core (Sartak)
674 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
677 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
678 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
679 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
683 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
684 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
687 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
689 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
692 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
693 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
696 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
697 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
700 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
701 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
704 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
707 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
710 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
714 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
716 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
717 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
720 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
721 * More deprecations and renamings
722 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
723 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
724 when an object is constructed)
727 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
728 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
729 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
731 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
732 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
733 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
734 feature, and it works again.
737 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
739 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
741 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
742 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
743 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
746 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
747 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
748 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
749 message. Test provided by perigrin.
751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
752 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
753 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
754 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
755 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
758 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
759 metaclass object. (hdp)
761 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
762 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
763 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
764 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
765 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
766 point out this fact. (hdp)
768 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
769 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
771 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
772 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
775 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
776 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
777 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
778 called during instance construction were passed the
779 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
780 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
782 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
783 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
786 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
787 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
788 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
791 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
792 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
793 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
794 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
795 them, but they are not for "public" use.
798 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
800 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
801 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
802 when an object is constructed)
803 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
805 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
806 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
807 when an object is constructed)
808 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
809 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
810 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
813 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
815 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
816 * No changes from 0.72_01.
818 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
820 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
821 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
822 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
824 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
825 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
826 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
828 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
830 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
831 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
833 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
834 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
837 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
838 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
841 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
842 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
843 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
846 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
850 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
851 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
852 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
855 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
858 * Moose::Manual::Delta
859 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
860 with recommended workarounds.
862 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
863 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
865 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
866 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
867 (yes, spelled like that).
869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
870 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
873 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
874 changes in latest Class::MOP.
876 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
878 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
879 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
880 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
881 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
882 instead. Reported by doy.
884 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
886 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
887 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
890 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
891 message) is now deprecated.
892 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
893 often got it wrong. For example:
895 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
897 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
901 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
902 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
903 bite you in weird cases.
905 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
906 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
907 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
910 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
911 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
915 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
918 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
919 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
922 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
923 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
926 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
929 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
931 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
932 - added tests for this (stevan)
934 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
935 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
936 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
937 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
941 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
942 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
943 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
944 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
946 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
947 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
948 - added tests for this (rafl)
950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
951 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
952 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
953 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
957 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
958 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
961 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
962 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
963 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
965 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
967 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
968 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
971 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
972 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
973 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
974 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
977 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
978 error message did not specify the attribute name
981 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
983 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
985 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
986 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
987 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
990 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
993 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
995 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
996 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
997 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
998 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1000 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1002 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1003 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1004 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1005 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1008 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1009 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1012 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1013 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1014 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1015 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1018 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1019 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1020 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1021 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1024 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1025 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1026 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1027 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1028 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1030 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1031 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1032 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1033 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1034 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1035 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1038 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1040 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1041 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1042 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1043 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1045 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1046 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1049 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1053 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1054 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1056 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1057 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1058 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1059 guts. (nothingmuch).
1061 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1063 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1065 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1066 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1067 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1068 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1070 * Moose::Meta::Class
1071 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1074 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1075 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1078 * Moose::Unsweetened
1079 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1082 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1083 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1084 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1085 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1086 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1087 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1090 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1091 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1092 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1093 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1094 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1095 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1096 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1097 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1098 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1100 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1102 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1103 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1106 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1107 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1108 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1110 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1111 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1112 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1113 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1114 same methods for a single role did not work
1115 right (worked just fine with multiple
1117 - added test for this (stevan)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1120 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1121 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1124 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1125 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1126 - added test for this (t0m)
1129 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1130 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1131 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1134 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1135 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1136 - added test for this (t0m)
1138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1139 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1140 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1141 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1142 - added test for this (perigrin)
1145 - create method for constructing a role
1146 dynamically (Sartak)
1147 - added test for this (Sartak)
1148 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1149 - added test for this (Sartak)
1152 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1155 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1156 methods is useful (Sartak)
1158 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1160 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1163 * Moose::Meta::Class
1164 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1165 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1166 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1167 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1168 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1172 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1173 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1176 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1177 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1178 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1179 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1181 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1183 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1184 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1185 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1188 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1189 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1190 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1191 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1192 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1193 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1197 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1198 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1199 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1200 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1201 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1202 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1203 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1204 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1205 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1206 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1209 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1213 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1214 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1215 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1216 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1218 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1220 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1221 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1222 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1224 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1225 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1228 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1229 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1230 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1233 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1234 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1236 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1238 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1239 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Class
1242 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1243 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1244 a required attribute
1246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1248 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1249 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1252 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1255 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1256 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1257 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1258 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1259 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1260 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1261 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1264 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1265 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1267 * Roles and role application
1268 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1269 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1270 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1271 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1272 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1274 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1275 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1278 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1279 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1280 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1281 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1282 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1285 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1286 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1287 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1288 changes in the Moose internals.
1290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1292 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1295 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1296 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1297 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1298 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1300 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1301 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1302 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1303 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1306 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1307 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1308 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1309 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1310 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1311 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1312 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1313 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1314 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1315 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1316 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1317 constraint implementations.
1319 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1323 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1324 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1325 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1326 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1327 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1328 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1329 - added tests for this (rafl)
1331 * Moose::Meta::Class
1332 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1333 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1334 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1335 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1336 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1337 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1338 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1339 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1342 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1343 - added tests for this (thepler)
1345 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1346 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1347 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1348 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1351 * Moose::Meta::Class
1352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method
1356 * Moose::Error::Default
1357 * Moose::Error::Croak
1358 * Moose::Error::Confess
1359 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1360 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1361 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1362 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1363 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1364 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1366 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1368 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1369 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1371 * Moose::Unsweetened

1374 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1377 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1378 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1379 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1380 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1383 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1384 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

1436 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1437 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1438 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1439 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1440 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1442 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1443 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1445 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1447 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ

1476 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1480 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1482 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1485 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1487 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1563 ... this is not my day today ...
1565 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1566 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1567 clone_and_inherit options still works for

1569 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1572 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1573 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1574 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1576 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1579 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1581 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1582 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1614 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1615 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1616 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1617 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1618 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1619 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1620 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1621 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 - added tests for this
1624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1625 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1735 XS based functionality is now optional
1736 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

1841 drink more coffee before
1842 doing release engineering
1844 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2252 - added tests for this
2255 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2256 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2298 - fixed how required methods are handled
2299 when they encounter overriden or modified
2300 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2301 - added tests for this
2303 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2304 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2305 the | always creates a union and so is
2306 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2307 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2309 - added more tests for this
2311 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2314 * Parameterized Types
2315 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2316 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2317 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2318 They can also be nested:
2319 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2320 And work with the type unions as well:
2321 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2323 * Better Framework Extendability
2324 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2325 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2326 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2327 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2330 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2331 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2332 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2333 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2336 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2338 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2339 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2568 so that you can actually document your
2569 attributes and inspect them through the

2573 * Moose::Meta::Class
2574 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2580 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2581 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2582 - added test for this

2590 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2591 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2594 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2596 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2597 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2598 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2601 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2602 !! for this developer release to work !!
2604 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2605 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2606 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2607 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2608 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2609 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2610 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2611 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2612 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2613 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2614 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2616 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2617 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2618 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2619 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2622 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2624 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2625 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2626 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2628 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2630 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2631 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2634 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2635 called unless they actually need to be.
2636 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2637 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2638 DEMOLISH method present.
2640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2641 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2642 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2643 type constraint, which allows for a
2644 hand optimized version of the type
2645 constraint to be used when possible.
2646 - Any internally created type constraints
2647 now provide an optimized version as well.
2649 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2651 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2652 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2653 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2656 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2657 your class namespace of these exported

2673 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2676 - moved accessor generation methods to
2677 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2678 conform to the API changes from
2681 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2682 - changed how constraints are compiled
2683 so that we do less recursion and more
2684 iteration. This makes the type check
2686 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2690 - created this from methods formerly found in
2691 Moose::Meta::Attribute

2706 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2707 - added tests for this
2708 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the

2713 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2715 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order

2721 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2722 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2724 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2725 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2726 comments for more info.

2733 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2734 - added tests for this
2736 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2737 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2738 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2739 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2741 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2742 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2745 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2746 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2747 is much appreciated :)
2748 - added tests for this
2750 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2751 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2752 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2756 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2758 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2760 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2761 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2765 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2766 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2767 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2769 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2771 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2774 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2775 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2776 keywords because we need to localize them.
2777 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2779 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2780 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2781 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2784 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2788 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2789 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2792 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2793 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2794 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2796 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2798 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2799 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2800 bottom of your class file.
2803 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2806 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2808 - improved error message when loading modules so
2809 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2810 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2811 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2814 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2815 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2816 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2819 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2821 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2822 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2823 turn them on for you.
2824 - added tests for this
2825 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2826 in Moose::Meta::Class
2829 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2830 automatically turned on for you.

2852 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2853 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2854 - This release works in combination with
2855 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2856 release because it uses the a new
2857 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2858 complete Role implementation. It has
2859 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2860 the the previous CPAN version. This
2861 release also lacks good updated docs,
2862 the official release will have updated docs.
2865 - refactored the keyword exports
2866 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2867 accepts more than one Role at a time
2868 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2869 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2872 - refactored the keyword exports
2873 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2874 accepts more than one Role at a time
2876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2877 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2878 string enumerations which can be used as
2880 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2883 - more careful checking of params to new()
2886 - much work done on the role composition
2887 - many new tests for conflict detection
2888 and composition edge cases
2889 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2890 looking at the tests
2892 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2893 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2894 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2896 * Moose::Meta::Class
2897 - some small changes to support the new
2899 - some small additions to support Roles
2901 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2902 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2904 - some small changes to support the new
2906 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2907 with the 'handles' option
2908 - added several tests for this
2909 - no docs for this yet
2911 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2913 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2914 thanks to chansen for this commit
2915 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2916 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2917 on a per-attribute basis
2918 - added tests for this
2919 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2920 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2921 experimental feature and probably not finished
