1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
7 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
8 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
10 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
11 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
12 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
13 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
14 message. Test provided by perigrin.
16 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
17 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
18 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
19 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
20 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
23 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
24 metaclass object. (hdp)
26 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
27 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
28 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
29 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
30 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
31 point out this fact. (hdp)
33 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
34 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
37 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
38 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
39 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
40 called during instance construction were passed the
41 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
42 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
44 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
45 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
48 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
49 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
50 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
53 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
54 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
55 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
56 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
57 them, but they are not for "public" use.
60 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
62 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
63 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
64 when an object is constructed)
65 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
67 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
68 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
69 when an object is constructed)
70 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
71 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
72 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
75 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
77 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
78 * No changes from 0.72_01.
80 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
82 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
83 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
84 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
86 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
87 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
88 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
90 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
92 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
93 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
95 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
96 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
99 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
100 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
103 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
104 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
105 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
108 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
112 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
113 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
114 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
117 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
120 * Moose::Manual::Delta
121 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
122 with recommended workarounds.
124 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
125 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
128 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
129 (yes, spelled like that).
131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
132 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
135 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
136 changes in latest Class::MOP.
138 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
140 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
141 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
142 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
143 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
144 instead. Reported by doy.
146 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
148 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
149 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
152 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
153 message) is now deprecated.
154 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
155 often got it wrong. For example:
157 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
159 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
163 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
164 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
165 bite you in weird cases.
167 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
168 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
169 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
172 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
173 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
177 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
180 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
181 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
184 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
185 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
188 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
191 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
192 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
193 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
194 - added tests for this (stevan)
196 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
197 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
198 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
199 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
203 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
204 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
205 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
206 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
208 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
209 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
210 - added tests for this (rafl)
212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
213 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
214 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
215 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
219 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
220 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
223 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
224 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
225 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
227 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
229 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
230 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
233 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
234 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
235 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
236 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
239 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
240 error message did not specify the attribute name
243 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
245 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
247 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
248 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
249 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
252 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
255 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
257 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
258 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
259 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
260 of fixes and formatting improvements.
262 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
264 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
265 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
266 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
267 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
270 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
271 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
273 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
274 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
275 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
276 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
277 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
280 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
281 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
282 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
283 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
286 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
287 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
288 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
289 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
290 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
292 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
293 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
294 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
295 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
296 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
297 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
300 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
302 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
303 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
304 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
305 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
308 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
311 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
315 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
316 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
318 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
319 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
320 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
323 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
324 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
325 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
328 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
329 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
330 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
333 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
336 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
337 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
339 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
341 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
344 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
345 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
346 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
347 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
348 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
349 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
352 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
353 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
354 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
355 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
356 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
357 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
358 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
359 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
360 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
362 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
364 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
365 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
368 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
369 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
370 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
372 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
373 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
374 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
375 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
376 same methods for a single role did not work
377 right (worked just fine with multiple
379 - added test for this (stevan)
381 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
382 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
383 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
386 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
387 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
388 - added test for this (t0m)
391 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
392 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
393 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
395 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
396 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
397 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
398 - added test for this (t0m)
400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
401 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
402 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
403 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
404 - added test for this (perigrin)
407 - create method for constructing a role
409 - added test for this (Sartak)
410 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
411 - added test for this (Sartak)
414 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
416 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
417 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
418 methods is useful (Sartak)
420 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
422 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
426 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
427 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
428 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
429 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
430 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
431 - added tests for this (jdv79)
434 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
435 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
438 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
439 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
440 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
441 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
443 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
445 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
446 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
447 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
450 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
451 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
452 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
453 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
454 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
455 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
459 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
460 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
461 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
462 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
463 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
464 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
465 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
466 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
467 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
468 future. (jnapiorkowski)
470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
471 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
474 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
475 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
476 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
477 type. (jnapiorkowski)
478 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
480 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
482 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
483 predicate, and link to more details sections in
484 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
487 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
490 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
491 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
492 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
495 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
496 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
498 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
500 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
501 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
504 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
505 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
510 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
511 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
514 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
517 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
518 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
519 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
520 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
521 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
522 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
523 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
525 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
526 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
527 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
529 * Roles and role application
530 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
531 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
532 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
533 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
534 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
536 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
537 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
540 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
541 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
542 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
543 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
544 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
547 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
548 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
549 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
550 changes in the Moose internals.
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
554 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
557 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
558 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
559 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
560 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
563 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
564 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
565 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
568 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
569 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
570 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
571 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
572 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
573 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
574 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
575 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
576 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
577 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
578 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
579 constraint implementations.
581 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
585 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
586 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
587 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
588 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
589 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
590 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
591 - added tests for this (rafl)
594 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
595 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
596 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
597 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
598 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
599 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
600 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
601 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
604 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
605 - added tests for this (thepler)
607 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
608 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
609 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
610 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
615 * Moose::Meta::Method
618 * Moose::Error::Default
619 * Moose::Error::Croak
620 * Moose::Error::Confess
621 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
622 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
623 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
624 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
625 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
626 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
628 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
630 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
631 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
634 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
635 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
636 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
639 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
640 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
641 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
642 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
645 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
646 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
648 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
649 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
650 several major changes in this release of Moose.
651 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
654 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
656 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
657 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
659 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
664 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
665 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
667 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
669 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
670 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
671 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
672 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
673 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
674 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
676 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
677 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
678 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

825 ... this is not my day today ...
827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
828 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
829 clone_and_inherit options still works for
830 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
831 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
834 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
835 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
836 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

844 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

876 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
877 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
878 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
879 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
880 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
881 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
882 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
883 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)

886 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1395 - added this module (see above)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Class
1398 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
1399 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct

1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1408 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1409 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1410 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

1416 (thanks to nothingmuch)
1418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1419 - added this module to support the refactor
1420 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1422 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1423 - refactored how these types are handled so they
1424 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
1428 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1430 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1431 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1432 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
1434 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

1454 - added tests for this
1456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1457 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need

1460 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
1461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1462 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
1463 they should inherit the parent's coercion

1467 having to do it all in one place
1468 - added tests for this
1470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1471 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1472 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1475 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1476 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1477 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1478 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1482 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1484 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

1492 - added docs for this
1494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1495 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1496 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1497 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1498 instead it will just return undef.
1499 - added docs for this

1513 with work correctly.
1514 - added tests for this
1517 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1518 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1521 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1522 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1523 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1525 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
1526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1557 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1560 - fixed how required methods are handled
1561 when they encounter overriden or modified
1562 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1563 - added tests for this
1565 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1566 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1567 the | always creates a union and so is
1568 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1569 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1571 - added more tests for this
1573 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1576 * Parameterized Types
1577 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1578 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1579 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1580 They can also be nested:
1581 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1582 And work with the type unions as well:
1583 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1585 * Better Framework Extendability
1586 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1587 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1588 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1589 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1592 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1593 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1594 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1595 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1598 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1600 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1601 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1636 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
1637 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
1639 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
1640 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

1643 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
1644 +++ with new features added as well +++
1646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1650 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1652 - added tests for this
1654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

1660 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1661 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1663 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1664 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1665 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1666 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1680 (thanks to shlomif).
1682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1683 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1684 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

1688 - added tests for this
1690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1733 (but not changing the handles option)
1734 - added tests and docs for this
1737 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1738 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1739 - adjusted tests for this
1741 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1743 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1753 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1754 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1755 prototypes for functions
1756 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1757 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1767 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1770 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1771 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1772 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1773 - added tests for this
1775 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1777 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1798 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1799 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1801 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1802 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1803 so this release is just to fix that.
1806 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1807 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1808 (thanks to konobi for this)
1809 - added tests and docs
1811 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1812 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1815 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1816 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1817 - added tests for this

1819 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1820 functions to facilitate introspection.
1822 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1823 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1824 to build the list of delegated methods
1825 correctly (and not override important
1826 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1828 - added tests and docs for this
1829 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1830 so that you can actually document your
1831 attributes and inspect them through the
1833 - added tests and docs for this
1835 * Moose::Meta::Class
1836 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1837 it will first look in for the class in the
1838 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1839 then default to just loading $name.
1840 - added tests and docs for this
1842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1843 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1844 - added test for this
1847 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1848 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1849 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1850 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1852 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1853 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1856 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1858 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1859 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1860 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1863 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1864 !! for this developer release to work !!
1866 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1867 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1868 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1869 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1870 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1871 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1872 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1873 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1874 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1875 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1876 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1878 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1879 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1880 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1881 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1884 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1885 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1886 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1887 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1888 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1890 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1892 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1893 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1896 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1897 called unless they actually need to be.
1898 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1899 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1900 DEMOLISH method present.
1902 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1904 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1905 type constraint, which allows for a
1906 hand optimized version of the type
1907 constraint to be used when possible.
1908 - Any internally created type constraints
1909 now provide an optimized version as well.
1911 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1913 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1914 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1915 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1918 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1919 your class namespace of these exported
1922 * Moose::Meta::Class
1923 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1924 comes up during global destruction
1926 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1930 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1934 - changed how we do type checks so that
1935 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1938 - moved accessor generation methods to
1939 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1940 conform to the API changes from
1943 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1944 - changed how constraints are compiled
1945 so that we do less recursion and more
1946 iteration. This makes the type check
1948 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1951 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1952 - created this from methods formerly found in
1953 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1955 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1956 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1958 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1959 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1961 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1962 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1964 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1967 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1968 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1969 - added tests for this
1970 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1971 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1972 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1973 - removed tests for this
1975 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1977 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1978 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1979 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1982 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1983 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1984 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1986 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1987 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1988 comments for more info.
1991 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1992 asked questions and common problems
1994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1995 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1996 - added tests for this
1998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1999 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2000 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2001 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2003 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2004 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2007 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2008 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2009 is much appreciated :)
2010 - added tests for this
2012 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2013 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2014 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2017 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2018 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2020 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2022 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2023 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2027 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2028 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2029 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2031 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2033 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2036 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2037 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2038 keywords because we need to localize them.
2039 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2041 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2042 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2043 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2046 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2049 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2050 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2051 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2054 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2055 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2056 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2058 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2060 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2061 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2062 bottom of your class file.
2065 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2068 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2070 - improved error message when loading modules so
2071 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2072 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2073 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2076 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2077 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2078 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2080 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2081 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2083 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2084 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2085 turn them on for you.
2086 - added tests for this
2087 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2088 in Moose::Meta::Class
2091 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2092 automatically turned on for you.
2093 - added tests for this
2096 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2097 - added tests for this
2098 - added some more edge case tests

2115 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2116 - This release works in combination with
2117 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2118 release because it uses the a new
2119 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2120 complete Role implementation. It has
2121 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2122 the the previous CPAN version. This
2123 release also lacks good updated docs,
2124 the official release will have updated docs.
2127 - refactored the keyword exports
2128 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2129 accepts more than one Role at a time
2130 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2131 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2134 - refactored the keyword exports
2135 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2136 accepts more than one Role at a time
2138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2139 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2140 string enumerations which can be used as
2142 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2145 - more careful checking of params to new()
2148 - much work done on the role composition
2149 - many new tests for conflict detection
2150 and composition edge cases
2151 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2152 looking at the tests
2154 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2155 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2156 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2158 * Moose::Meta::Class
2159 - some small changes to support the new
2161 - some small additions to support Roles
2163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2164 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2166 - some small changes to support the new
2168 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2169 with the 'handles' option
2170 - added several tests for this
2171 - no docs for this yet
2173 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2175 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2176 thanks to chansen for this commit
2177 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2178 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2179 on a per-attribute basis
2180 - added tests for this
2181 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2182 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2183 experimental feature and probably not finished
2184 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2185 more details, or ask about it on #moose
