1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
9 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
10 details. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
13 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
14 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
15 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
16 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
21 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
22 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
23 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
24 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originall defined
27 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
31 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
32 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
34 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
37 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
41 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
42 immutable classes). (mo)
44 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
45 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
46 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
48 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
52 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
54 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
56 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
60 * Fix some indexing issues.
62 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
64 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
68 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
69 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
70 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
71 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
72 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
74 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
75 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
80 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
81 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
82 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
83 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
85 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
86 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
87 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
91 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
92 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
95 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
99 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
100 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
101 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
102 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
105 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
109 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
112 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
116 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
117 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
118 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
120 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
124 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
125 policy. (Chris Prather)
127 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
128 on this new support policy. (doy)
132 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
133 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
134 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
136 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
137 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
139 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
143 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
144 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
145 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
146 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
149 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
153 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
154 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
157 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
161 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
162 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
164 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
165 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
170 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
171 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
172 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
173 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
174 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
176 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
177 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
179 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
180 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
181 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
182 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
184 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
185 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
192 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
193 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
195 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
199 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
200 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
201 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
203 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
207 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
208 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
209 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
211 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
212 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
215 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
216 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
219 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
220 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
221 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
223 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
224 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
229 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
230 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
231 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
232 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
234 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
235 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
237 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
238 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
240 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
241 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
242 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
243 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
245 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
246 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
247 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
250 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
251 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
252 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
253 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
255 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
256 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
259 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
260 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
261 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
263 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
267 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
268 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
269 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
271 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
272 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
273 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
276 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
277 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
278 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
280 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
281 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
282 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
284 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
285 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
289 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
290 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
291 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
293 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
294 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
295 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
296 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
298 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
302 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
303 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
304 value is a reference.
306 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
307 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
309 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
313 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
314 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
315 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
317 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
321 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
322 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
326 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
327 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
328 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
330 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
331 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
332 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
334 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
338 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
340 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
344 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
346 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
347 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
352 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
353 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
355 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
356 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
357 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
358 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
359 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
361 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
362 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
363 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
364 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
366 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
370 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
371 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
376 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
378 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
380 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
385 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
387 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
391 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
392 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
393 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
396 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
397 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
398 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
400 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
401 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
402 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
403 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
404 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
407 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
412 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
413 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
414 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
415 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
416 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
419 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
423 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
426 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
427 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
431 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
432 function (not just method). (doy)
436 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
437 and aren't easily installable/testable.
439 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
443 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
444 to be overridden more easily (doy).
446 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
450 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
451 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
453 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
457 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
458 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
459 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
461 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
465 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
466 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
467 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
469 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
470 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
474 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
475 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
477 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
478 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
482 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
483 is applied to a class (t0m).
485 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
486 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
488 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
491 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
492 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
494 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
495 be much more robust. (doy)
497 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
499 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
502 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
506 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
507 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
509 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
513 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
514 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
516 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
519 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
520 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
521 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
523 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
524 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
525 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
528 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
530 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
534 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
535 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
539 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
541 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
546 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
550 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
551 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
555 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
557 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
561 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
562 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
566 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
567 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
571 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
572 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
574 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
578 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
579 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
580 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
583 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
587 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
588 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
589 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
590 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
592 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
596 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
597 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
598 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
602 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
605 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
609 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
610 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
611 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
615 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
616 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
618 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
619 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
620 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
621 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
623 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
627 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
631 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
632 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
634 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
635 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
636 - Moose::Util::does_role
637 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
638 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
639 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
641 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
645 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
646 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
647 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
650 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
654 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
655 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
658 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
662 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
663 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
666 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
670 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
672 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
673 class. (Dave Rolsky).
675 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
676 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
677 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
679 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
680 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
681 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
684 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
685 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
687 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
688 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
689 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
691 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
693 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
694 substr et al, again. (sorear)
696 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
698 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
701 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
702 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
704 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
705 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
707 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
708 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
709 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
710 dependencies installed.
712 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
713 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
716 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
718 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
722 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
725 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
726 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
729 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
730 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
732 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
733 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
736 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
737 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
738 others. (nothingmuch)
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
741 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
742 remove_accessors. (doy)
744 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
745 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
746 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
749 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
751 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
753 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
754 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
757 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
758 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
761 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
763 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
765 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
766 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
769 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
770 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
771 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
772 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
773 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
775 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
777 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
778 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
779 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
780 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
781 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
784 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
785 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
786 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
787 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
788 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
790 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
791 which were not receiving the value of
792 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
793 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
794 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
795 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
799 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
800 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
801 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
802 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
803 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
806 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
807 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
808 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
809 - added tests for this (Stevan)
812 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
813 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
814 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
817 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
819 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
822 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
823 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
826 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
827 class if you pass it options for
828 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
829 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
830 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
831 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
832 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
833 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
834 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
835 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
836 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
838 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
839 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
840 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
841 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
842 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
845 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
847 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
848 existing delegation API. (hdp)
850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
851 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
852 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
853 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
854 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
855 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
858 * Moose::Error::Croak
859 * Moose::Error::Confess
860 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
861 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
864 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
867 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
868 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
869 installing a broken sub. (doy)
872 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
875 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
876 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
877 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
879 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
880 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
881 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
882 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
883 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
885 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
886 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
889 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
891 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
892 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
895 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
896 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
899 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
900 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
901 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
904 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
905 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
906 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
907 using it for new code!
909 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
910 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
911 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
912 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
914 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
915 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
916 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
917 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
918 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
919 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
920 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
921 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
924 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
927 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
928 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
932 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
935 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
936 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
940 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
941 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
944 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
945 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
948 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
949 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
952 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
954 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
955 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
956 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
957 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
959 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
961 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
965 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
966 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
968 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
969 associated_methods. (hdp)
970 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
971 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
972 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
973 misspelled) arguments
975 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
976 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
977 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
978 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
982 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
984 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
987 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
988 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
989 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
992 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
993 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
995 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
997 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
998 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1000 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1001 * Moose::Manual::Types
1002 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1003 string parsing rathole (mst)
1005 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1006 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1007 using plain objects instead
1009 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1010 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1011 that's what we need.
1013 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1014 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1015 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1016 three times today (perigrin)
1017 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1018 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1021 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1022 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1023 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1026 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1027 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1028 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1029 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1030 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1031 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1034 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1035 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1036 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1037 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1040 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1042 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1045 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1047 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1050 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1051 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1052 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1056 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1057 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1060 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1061 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1063 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1064 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1065 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1067 * Moose::Unsweetened
1068 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1070 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1071 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1074 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1078 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1079 methods during global destruction (doy)
1081 * Moose::Meta::Class
1082 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1083 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1084 consumption (Sartak)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Class
1087 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1088 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1091 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1092 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1095 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1096 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1098 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1100 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1104 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1105 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1106 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1109 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1110 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1111 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1114 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1116 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1118 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1121 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1122 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1123 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1124 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1127 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1128 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1131 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1134 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1135 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1136 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1140 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1141 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Class
1144 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1146 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1148 * Moose::Meta::Class
1149 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1150 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1153 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1154 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1157 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1158 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1161 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1164 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1166 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1167 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1170 * Moose::Meta::Class
1171 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1174 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1177 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1178 * More deprecations and renamings
1179 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1180 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1181 when an object is constructed)
1184 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1185 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1186 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1188 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1189 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1190 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1191 feature, and it works again.
1194 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1196 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1198 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1199 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1200 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1203 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1204 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1205 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1206 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1210 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1211 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1212 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1215 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1216 metaclass object. (hdp)
1218 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1221 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1222 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1223 point out this fact. (hdp)
1225 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1226 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1228 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1229 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1231 * Moose::Meta::Class
1232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1233 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1234 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1235 called during instance construction were passed the
1236 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1237 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1239 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1240 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1243 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1244 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1245 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1248 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1249 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1250 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1251 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1252 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1254 - Moose::Meta::Class
1255 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1257 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1258 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1259 when an object is constructed)
1260 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1262 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1263 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1264 when an object is constructed)
1265 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1266 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1267 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1270 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1272 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1273 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1275 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1277 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1278 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1279 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1282 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1283 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1285 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1288 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1291 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1294 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1295 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1298 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1299 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1300 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1303 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1307 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1308 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1309 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1312 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1315 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1316 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1317 with recommended workarounds.
1319 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1320 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1323 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1324 (yes, spelled like that).
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1327 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1329 * Moose::Meta::Class
1330 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1331 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1333 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1336 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1337 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1338 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1339 instead. Reported by doy.
1341 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1343 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1344 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1346 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1347 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1348 message) is now deprecated.
1349 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1350 often got it wrong. For example:
1352 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1354 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1358 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1359 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1360 bite you in weird cases.
1362 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1363 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1364 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1365 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1367 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1368 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1372 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1375 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1376 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1379 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1380 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1383 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1386 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1387 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1388 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1389 - added tests for this (stevan)
1391 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1392 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1393 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1394 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1398 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1399 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1400 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1401 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1403 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1404 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1405 - added tests for this (rafl)
1407 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1408 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1409 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1410 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1414 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1415 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1418 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1419 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1420 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)

1424 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1425 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1427 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1428 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1429 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1430 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1431 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1434 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1435 error message did not specify the attribute name
1438 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1440 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1442 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1443 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1444 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1447 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1450 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1452 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1453 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1454 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1455 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1457 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1459 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1460 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1461 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1462 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1465 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1466 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1469 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1470 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1471 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1472 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1475 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1476 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1477 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1478 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1481 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1482 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1483 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1484 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1485 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1487 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1488 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1489 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1490 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1491 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1492 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1494 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1495 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1497 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1498 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1499 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1500 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1502 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1503 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1506 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1510 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1511 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1514 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1515 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1516 guts. (nothingmuch).
1518 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1519 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1520 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1523 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1524 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1525 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1527 * Moose::Meta::Class
1528 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1531 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1532 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1535 * Moose::Unsweetened
1536 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1539 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1540 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1541 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1542 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1543 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1544 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1547 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1548 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1549 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1550 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1551 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1552 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1554 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1555 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1559 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1560 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1562 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1563 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1564 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1565 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1567 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1568 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1569 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1570 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1571 same methods for a single role did not work
1572 right (worked just fine with multiple
1574 - added test for this (stevan)
1576 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1577 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1578 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1581 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1582 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1583 - added test for this (t0m)
1586 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1587 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1588 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1591 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1592 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1593 - added test for this (t0m)
1595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1596 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1597 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1598 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1599 - added test for this (perigrin)
1602 - create method for constructing a role
1603 dynamically (Sartak)
1604 - added test for this (Sartak)
1605 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1606 - added test for this (Sartak)
1609 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1612 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1613 methods is useful (Sartak)
1615 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1617 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1620 * Moose::Meta::Class
1621 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1622 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1623 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1624 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1625 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1626 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1629 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1630 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1632 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1633 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1634 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1635 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1636 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1640 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1641 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1645 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1646 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1647 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1648 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1649 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1650 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1653 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1654 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1655 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1656 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1657 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1658 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1659 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1660 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1661 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1662 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1663 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1666 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1669 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1670 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1671 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1672 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1673 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1675 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1677 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1678 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1679 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1681 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1682 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1685 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1686 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1687 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1691 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1693 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1695 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1696 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1698 * Moose::Meta::Class
1699 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1700 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1701 a required attribute
1703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1704 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1705 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1706 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1709 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1711 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1712 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1713 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1714 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1715 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1716 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1717 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1718 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1721 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1722 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1724 * Roles and role application
1725 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1726 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1727 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1728 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1729 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1731 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1732 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1736 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1737 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1738 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1739 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1742 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1743 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1744 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1745 changes in the Moose internals.
1747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1749 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1753 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1754 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1755 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1757 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1758 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1759 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1760 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1763 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1764 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1765 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1766 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1767 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1768 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1769 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1770 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1771 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1772 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1773 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1774 constraint implementations.
1776 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1780 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1781 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1782 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1783 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1784 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1785 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1786 - added tests for this (rafl)
1788 * Moose::Meta::Class
1789 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1790 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1791 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1792 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1793 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1794 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1795 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1796 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1799 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1800 - added tests for this (thepler)
1802 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1803 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1804 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1805 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1808 * Moose::Meta::Class
1809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1810 * Moose::Meta::Method
1813 * Moose::Error::Default
1814 * Moose::Error::Croak
1815 * Moose::Error::Confess
1816 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1817 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1818 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1819 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1820 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1821 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1823 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1825 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1826 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Unsweetened
1829 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1830 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1831 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1834 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1835 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1836 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1837 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1840 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1841 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1843 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1844 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1845 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1846 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1849 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1851 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1852 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1854 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1857 - Various bug fixes.
1859 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1860 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1862 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1864 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1865 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1866 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1867 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1868 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1869 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1871 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1872 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1873 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1876 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1877 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1880 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1881 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1882 dependency to 0.64_07.
1884 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1885 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1886 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1888 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1889 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1892 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1893 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1894 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1895 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1896 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1897 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1900 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1902 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1904 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1905 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1909 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1910 method when that method was provided by another role being
1911 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1914 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1916 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1917 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1920 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1921 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1922 - added test for this (t0m)
1924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1925 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1926 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1928 - added test for this (t0m)
1931 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1932 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1933 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1936 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1937 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1939 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1941 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1942 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1944 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1945 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1946 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1948 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1949 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1952 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1953 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1954 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1955 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1959 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1960 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1961 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1964 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1965 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1966 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1967 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1970 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1974 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1975 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1976 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1978 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1980 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1981 created so that the process can be more easily
1982 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1984 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1985 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1986 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1987 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1989 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1990 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1993 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1994 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1997 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1998 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2000 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2001 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2002 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2004 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2005 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2008 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2012 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2016 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2017 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2019 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2020 ... this is not my day today ...
2022 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2023 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2024 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2025 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2026 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2029 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2030 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2031 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2032 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2033 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2036 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2038 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2039 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2040 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2041 this is not ever something you want to do
2042 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)

2071 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2072 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2073 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2074 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2075 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2076 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2077 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2078 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2079 - added tests for this
2081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2082 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2416 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2418 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2751 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2752 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2755 - fixed how required methods are handled
2756 when they encounter overriden or modified
2757 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2758 - added tests for this
2760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2761 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2762 the | always creates a union and so is
2763 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2764 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2766 - added more tests for this
2768 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2771 * Parameterized Types
2772 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2773 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2774 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2775 They can also be nested:
2776 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2777 And work with the type unions as well:
2778 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2780 * Better Framework Extendability
2781 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2782 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2783 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2784 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2787 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2788 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2789 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2790 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2793 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2795 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2835 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2836 - updated the accompanying test as well
2838 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2839 +++ with new features added as well +++
2841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2845 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2847 - added tests for this
2849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2855 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2856 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2858 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2859 - this has been added to service the newly refactored

2875 (thanks to shlomif).
2877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2878 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2879 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2880 - added tests for this

2917 - added tests for these
2919 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2920 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2923 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2924 to the 'handles' option.
2925 - added tests and docs for this

2928 (but not changing the handles option)
2929 - added tests and docs for this
2932 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2933 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2944 the other side (perigrin)
2946 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2948 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2949 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2950 prototypes for functions
2951 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2952 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2962 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2965 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2966 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2967 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2968 - added tests for this
2970 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2972 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2993 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2994 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2996 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2997 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2998 so this release is just to fix that.
3001 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3002 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3003 (thanks to konobi for this)
3004 - added tests and docs
3006 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3007 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3010 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3011 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3012 - added tests for this
3013 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3014 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3015 functions to facilitate introspection.
3017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3018 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3019 to build the list of delegated methods
3020 correctly (and not override important
3021 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3023 - added tests and docs for this
3024 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3025 so that you can actually document your
3026 attributes and inspect them through the
3028 - added tests and docs for this
3030 * Moose::Meta::Class
3031 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3032 it will first look in for the class in the
3033 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3034 then default to just loading $name.
3035 - added tests and docs for this
3037 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3038 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3039 - added test for this
3042 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3043 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3044 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3045 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3047 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3048 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3051 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3053 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3054 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3055 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3058 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3059 !! for this developer release to work !!
3061 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3062 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3063 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3064 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3065 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3066 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3067 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3068 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3069 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3070 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3071 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3073 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3074 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3075 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3076 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3079 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3081 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3082 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3083 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3085 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3087 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3088 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3091 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3092 called unless they actually need to be.
3093 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3094 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3095 DEMOLISH method present.
3097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3098 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3099 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3100 type constraint, which allows for a
3101 hand optimized version of the type
3102 constraint to be used when possible.
3103 - Any internally created type constraints
3104 now provide an optimized version as well.
3106 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3108 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3109 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3110 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3113 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3114 your class namespace of these exported
3117 * Moose::Meta::Class
3118 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3119 comes up during global destruction
3121 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3125 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3129 - changed how we do type checks so that
3130 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3133 - moved accessor generation methods to
3134 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3135 conform to the API changes from
3138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3139 - changed how constraints are compiled
3140 so that we do less recursion and more
3141 iteration. This makes the type check
3143 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3146 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3147 - created this from methods formerly found in
3148 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3151 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3154 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3157 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3159 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3162 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3163 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3164 - added tests for this
3165 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3166 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3167 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3168 - removed tests for this
3170 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3172 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3173 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3174 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3177 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3178 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3179 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3181 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3182 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3183 comments for more info.
3186 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3187 asked questions and common problems
3189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3190 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3191 - added tests for this
3193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3194 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3195 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3196 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3198 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3199 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3202 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3203 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3204 is much appreciated :)
3205 - added tests for this
3207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3208 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3209 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3213 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3215 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3217 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3218 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3222 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3223 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3224 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3226 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3228 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3231 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3232 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3233 keywords because we need to localize them.
3234 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3236 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3237 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3238 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3241 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3244 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3245 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3246 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3249 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3250 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3251 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3253 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3255 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3256 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3257 bottom of your class file.
3260 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3263 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3265 - improved error message when loading modules so
3266 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3267 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3268 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3271 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3272 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3273 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3275 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3276 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3278 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3279 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3280 turn them on for you.
3281 - added tests for this
3282 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3283 in Moose::Meta::Class
3286 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3287 automatically turned on for you.
3288 - added tests for this
3291 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3292 - added tests for this
3293 - added some more edge case tests

3306 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3309 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3310 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3311 - This release works in combination with
3312 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3313 release because it uses the a new
3314 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3315 complete Role implementation. It has
3316 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3317 the the previous CPAN version. This
3318 release also lacks good updated docs,
3319 the official release will have updated docs.
3322 - refactored the keyword exports
3323 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3324 accepts more than one Role at a time
3325 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3326 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3329 - refactored the keyword exports
3330 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3331 accepts more than one Role at a time
3333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3334 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3335 string enumerations which can be used as
3337 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3340 - more careful checking of params to new()
3343 - much work done on the role composition
3344 - many new tests for conflict detection
3345 and composition edge cases
3346 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3347 looking at the tests
3349 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3350 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3351 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3353 * Moose::Meta::Class
3354 - some small changes to support the new
3356 - some small additions to support Roles
3358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3359 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3361 - some small changes to support the new
3363 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3364 with the 'handles' option
3365 - added several tests for this
3366 - no docs for this yet
3368 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3370 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3371 thanks to chansen for this commit
3372 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3373 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3374 on a per-attribute basis
3375 - added tests for this
3376 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3377 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3378 experimental feature and probably not finished
3379 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3380 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3381 - added tests for this
3384 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3391 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3392 thanks to chansen for this commit

3395 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3396 construct_instance (for the better)
3398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3399 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3400 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

3403 - added type constraint unions
3404 - added tests for this
3405 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method
