1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
7 three times today (perigrin)
8 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
9 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
13 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
14 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
15 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
18 - A role's required methods are now represented by
19 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
20 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
21 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
22 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
23 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
26 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
27 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
28 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
29 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
32 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
34 - Add test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
37 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
39 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
42 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
43 during global destruction. This method has been made more
44 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
48 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
49 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
52 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
53 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
55 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
56 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
57 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
60 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
62 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
63 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
66 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
70 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
71 methods during global destruction (doy)
74 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
75 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
79 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
80 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
83 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
84 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
87 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
88 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
92 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
96 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
97 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
98 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
101 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
102 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
103 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
106 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
107 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
110 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
112 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
116 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
117 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
118 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
120 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
121 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
122 of the Moose core (Sartak)
125 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
128 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
130 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
134 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
135 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
138 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
140 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
143 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
144 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
147 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
148 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
151 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
152 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
155 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
158 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
161 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
165 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
168 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
171 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
172 * More deprecations and renamings
173 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
174 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
175 when an object is constructed)
178 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
179 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
180 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
183 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
184 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
185 feature, and it works again.
188 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
190 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
192 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
193 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
194 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
197 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
198 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
199 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
200 message. Test provided by perigrin.
202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
203 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
204 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
205 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
206 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
209 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
210 metaclass object. (hdp)
212 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
213 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
214 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
215 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
216 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
217 point out this fact. (hdp)
219 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
220 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
222 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
223 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
227 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
228 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
229 called during instance construction were passed the
230 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
231 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
233 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
234 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
237 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
238 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
239 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
242 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
243 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
244 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
245 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
246 them, but they are not for "public" use.
249 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
251 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
252 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
253 when an object is constructed)
254 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
256 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
257 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
258 when an object is constructed)
259 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
260 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
261 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
264 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
266 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
267 * No changes from 0.72_01.
269 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
271 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
272 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
273 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
276 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
277 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
279 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
281 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
282 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
284 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
285 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
288 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
289 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
292 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
293 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
294 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
297 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
301 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
302 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
303 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
306 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
309 * Moose::Manual::Delta
310 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
311 with recommended workarounds.
313 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
314 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
317 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
318 (yes, spelled like that).
320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
321 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
324 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
325 changes in latest Class::MOP.
327 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
330 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
331 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
332 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
333 instead. Reported by doy.
335 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
337 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
338 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
341 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
342 message) is now deprecated.
343 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
344 often got it wrong. For example:
346 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
348 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
352 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
353 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
354 bite you in weird cases.
356 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
357 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
358 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
361 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
362 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
366 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
369 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
370 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
373 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
374 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
377 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
380 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
382 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
383 - added tests for this (stevan)
385 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
386 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
387 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
388 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
392 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
393 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
394 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
395 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
397 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
398 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
399 - added tests for this (rafl)
401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
402 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
403 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
404 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
408 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
409 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
412 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
413 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
414 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
416 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
418 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
419 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
422 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
423 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
424 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
425 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
428 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
429 error message did not specify the attribute name
432 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
434 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
436 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
437 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
438 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
441 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
444 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
446 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
447 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
448 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
449 of fixes and formatting improvements.
451 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
453 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
454 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
455 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
456 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
459 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
460 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
463 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
464 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
465 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
466 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
469 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
470 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
471 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
472 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
475 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
476 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
477 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
478 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
479 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
481 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
482 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
483 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
484 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
485 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
486 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
489 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
491 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
492 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
493 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
494 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
497 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
500 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
504 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
505 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
507 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
508 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
509 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
512 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
514 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
517 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
518 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
519 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
522 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
525 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
526 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
528 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
530 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
533 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
534 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
535 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
536 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
537 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
538 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
541 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
542 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
543 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
544 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
545 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
546 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
547 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
548 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
549 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
551 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
553 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
554 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
556 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
557 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
558 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
559 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
561 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
563 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
564 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
565 same methods for a single role did not work
566 right (worked just fine with multiple
568 - added test for this (stevan)
570 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
571 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
572 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
575 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
576 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
577 - added test for this (t0m)
580 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
581 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
582 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
585 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
586 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
587 - added test for this (t0m)
589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
590 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
591 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
592 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
593 - added test for this (perigrin)
596 - create method for constructing a role
598 - added test for this (Sartak)
599 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
600 - added test for this (Sartak)
603 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
605 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
606 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
607 methods is useful (Sartak)
609 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
611 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
615 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
616 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
617 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
618 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
619 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
620 - added tests for this (jdv79)
623 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
624 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
626 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
627 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
628 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
629 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
630 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
632 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
634 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
635 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
636 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
639 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
640 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
641 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
642 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
643 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
644 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
647 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
648 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
649 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
650 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
651 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
652 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
653 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
654 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
655 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
656 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
657 future. (jnapiorkowski)
659 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
660 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
664 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
665 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
666 type. (jnapiorkowski)
667 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
669 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
671 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
672 predicate, and link to more details sections in
673 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
676 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
678 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
679 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
680 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
681 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
684 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
685 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
687 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
689 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
690 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
693 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
694 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
697 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
699 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
700 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
702 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
703 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
706 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
707 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
708 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
709 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
710 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
711 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
712 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
714 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
715 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
716 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
718 * Roles and role application
719 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
720 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
721 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
722 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
723 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
725 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
726 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
729 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
730 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
731 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
732 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
733 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
736 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
737 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
738 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
739 changes in the Moose internals.
741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
743 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
747 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
748 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
749 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
752 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
753 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
754 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
757 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
758 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
759 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
760 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
761 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
762 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
763 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
764 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
765 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
766 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
767 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
768 constraint implementations.
770 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
774 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
775 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
776 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
777 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
778 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
779 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
780 - added tests for this (rafl)
783 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
784 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
785 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
786 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
787 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
788 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
789 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
790 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
793 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
794 - added tests for this (thepler)
796 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
797 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
798 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
799 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
804 * Moose::Meta::Method
807 * Moose::Error::Default
808 * Moose::Error::Croak
809 * Moose::Error::Confess
810 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
811 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
812 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
813 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
814 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
815 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
817 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
819 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
820 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
823 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
824 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
825 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
828 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
829 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
830 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
831 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
834 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
835 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
837 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
838 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
839 several major changes in this release of Moose.
840 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
843 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
845 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
846 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
848 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
853 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed

858 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
859 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
860 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
861 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
862 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
863 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
865 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
866 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
867 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
869 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

874 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
875 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
876 dependency to 0.64_07.
878 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
879 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
880 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
883 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
887 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
888 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
889 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
890 coincidental exception. (t0m).
891 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
893 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
894 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
896 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
898 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
899 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
903 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
904 method when that method was provided by another role being
905 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
906 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
908 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
910 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
911 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

915 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
916 - added test for this (t0m)
918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

920 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
922 - added test for this (t0m)
925 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
926 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
927 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
930 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
931 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
933 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
935 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
938 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
939 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
940 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
942 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
943 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
946 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
947 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
948 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
949 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
953 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
954 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
955 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
958 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
959 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
960 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
961 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
964 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
968 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
969 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making

991 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
992 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1011 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1013 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1014 ... this is not my day today ...
1016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1017 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1018 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1019 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1020 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1023 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1024 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1025 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1026 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1027 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1030 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1032 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1033 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1034 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1035 this is not ever something you want to do
1036 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1037 - added tests for this (stevan)
1040 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1042 - added test for this

1062 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1065 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1066 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1067 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1068 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1069 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1070 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1071 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1072 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1073 - added tests for this
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1076 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1077 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1078 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1149 which was causing the indexer to choke
1151 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1152 (late night release engineering)--
1154 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

1173 method for immutablization to check if the
1174 destructor object even needs to be created
1177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1178 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1179 - added more descriptive error message to help
1180 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1181 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1183 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1185 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1186 XS based functionality is now optional
1187 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1188 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1189 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1191 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1192 to take care of this, mostly we added
1193 support for the package_name and name
1194 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1195 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1196 support regexp matching of names
1197 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1200 is currently not supported in roles,
1201 but, ... patches welcome

1208 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1209 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1210 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1211 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1212 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1213 - added test for this
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1237 called by the inlined immutable
1239 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1242 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1243 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1244 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1247 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1251 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

1259 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1262 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1263 ->body when looping through the
1264 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1266 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1267 eating the $@ values, and so not
1268 working correctly, it still kind of
1269 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1270 - added tests for this
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1273 - added new recipe for immutable
1274 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1285 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1287 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1288 since Module::Install has done that.

1292 drink more coffee before
1293 doing release engineering
1295 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1296 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

1412 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1413 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1414 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
1415 officially support it.
1416 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
1417 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
1420 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
1421 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

1452 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1454 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1455 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1456 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1457 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1458 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1460 - added more delegation tests
1461 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1462 support traits and their introspection.
1463 - added tests for this
1466 - localizing the Data::Dumper configurations so
1467 that it does not pollute others (RT #33509)

1617 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1619 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1620 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

1703 - added tests for this
1706 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1707 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1749 - fixed how required methods are handled
1750 when they encounter overriden or modified
1751 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1752 - added tests for this
1754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1755 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1756 the | always creates a union and so is
1757 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1758 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1760 - added more tests for this
1762 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1765 * Parameterized Types
1766 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1767 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1768 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1769 They can also be nested:
1770 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1771 And work with the type unions as well:
1772 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1774 * Better Framework Extendability
1775 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1776 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1777 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1778 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1781 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1782 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1783 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1784 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1787 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1789 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2018 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2019 so that you can actually document your
2020 attributes and inspect them through the

2024 * Moose::Meta::Class
2025 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2026 it will first look in for the class in the
2027 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2028 then default to just loading $name.
2029 - added tests and docs for this
2031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2032 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2033 - added test for this
2036 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2038 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2039 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2041 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2042 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2045 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2047 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2048 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2049 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2052 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2053 !! for this developer release to work !!
2055 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2056 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2057 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2058 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2059 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2060 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2061 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2062 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2063 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2064 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2065 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2067 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2068 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2069 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2070 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2073 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2075 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2076 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2077 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2079 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2081 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2082 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2085 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2086 called unless they actually need to be.
2087 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2088 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2089 DEMOLISH method present.
2091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2093 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2094 type constraint, which allows for a
2095 hand optimized version of the type
2096 constraint to be used when possible.
2097 - Any internally created type constraints
2098 now provide an optimized version as well.
2100 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2102 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2103 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2104 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2107 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2108 your class namespace of these exported
2111 * Moose::Meta::Class
2112 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2113 comes up during global destruction
2115 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2119 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2123 - changed how we do type checks so that
2124 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2127 - moved accessor generation methods to
2128 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2129 conform to the API changes from
2132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2133 - changed how constraints are compiled
2134 so that we do less recursion and more
2135 iteration. This makes the type check
2137 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2140 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2141 - created this from methods formerly found in
2142 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2144 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2145 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2148 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2151 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2153 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2156 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2157 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2158 - added tests for this
2159 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2160 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2161 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2162 - removed tests for this
2164 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2166 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2167 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2168 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2171 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2172 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2173 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2175 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2176 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2177 comments for more info.
2180 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2181 asked questions and common problems
2183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2184 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2185 - added tests for this
2187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2188 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2189 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2190 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2192 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2193 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2196 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2197 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2198 is much appreciated :)
2199 - added tests for this
2201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2202 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2203 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2207 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2209 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2211 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2212 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2216 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2217 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2218 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2220 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2222 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2225 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2226 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2227 keywords because we need to localize them.
2228 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2230 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2231 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2232 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2235 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2239 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2240 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2243 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2244 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2245 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2247 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2249 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2250 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2251 bottom of your class file.
2254 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2257 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2259 - improved error message when loading modules so
2260 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2261 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2262 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2265 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2266 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2267 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2269 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2270 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2272 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2273 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2274 turn them on for you.
2275 - added tests for this
2276 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2277 in Moose::Meta::Class
2280 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2281 automatically turned on for you.

2285 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2286 - added tests for this

2300 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2303 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2304 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2305 - This release works in combination with
2306 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2307 release because it uses the a new
2308 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2309 complete Role implementation. It has
2310 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2311 the the previous CPAN version. This
2312 release also lacks good updated docs,
2313 the official release will have updated docs.
2316 - refactored the keyword exports
2317 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2318 accepts more than one Role at a time
2319 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2320 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2323 - refactored the keyword exports
2324 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2325 accepts more than one Role at a time
2327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2328 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2329 string enumerations which can be used as
2331 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2334 - more careful checking of params to new()
2337 - much work done on the role composition
2338 - many new tests for conflict detection
2339 and composition edge cases
2340 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2341 looking at the tests
2343 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2344 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2345 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2347 * Moose::Meta::Class
2348 - some small changes to support the new
2350 - some small additions to support Roles
2352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2353 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2355 - some small changes to support the new
2357 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2358 with the 'handles' option
2359 - added several tests for this
2360 - no docs for this yet
2362 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2364 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2365 thanks to chansen for this commit
2366 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2367 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2368 on a per-attribute basis
2369 - added tests for this
2370 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2371 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2372 experimental feature and probably not finished
2373 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2374 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2375 - added tests for this
2378 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2390 construct_instance (for the better)
2392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2437 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2439 - added test for this
2442 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
