1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
9 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster.
14 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
16 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
20 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
21 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
23 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
27 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
29 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
33 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
35 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
36 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
38 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
42 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
43 skips every other role. (rjbs)
45 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
46 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
47 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
48 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
49 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
51 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
55 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
56 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
57 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
60 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
65 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
67 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
68 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
70 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
74 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
75 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
76 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
80 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
81 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
83 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
84 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
86 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
87 environments. (doy, mateu)
89 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
93 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
94 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
95 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
96 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
100 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
101 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
103 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
107 * Update conflicts list.
110 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
114 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
115 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
116 details. (Dave Rolsky)
118 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
119 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
120 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
121 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
122 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
126 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
127 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
128 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
129 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
130 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
133 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
137 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
138 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
140 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
143 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
147 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
148 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
149 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
150 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
152 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
153 immutable classes). (mo)
155 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
156 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
157 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
159 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
163 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
165 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
167 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
171 * Fix some indexing issues.
173 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
175 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
179 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
180 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
181 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
182 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
183 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
185 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
186 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
191 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
192 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
193 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
194 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
196 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
197 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
198 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
202 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
203 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
206 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
210 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
211 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
215 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
219 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
220 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
221 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
222 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
225 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
229 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
232 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
236 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
237 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
238 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
241 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
245 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
246 policy. (Chris Prather)
248 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
249 on this new support policy. (doy)
253 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
254 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
255 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
257 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
258 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
260 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
264 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
265 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
266 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
267 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
270 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
274 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
275 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
278 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
282 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
283 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
285 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
286 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
290 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
291 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
292 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
293 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
294 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
295 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
297 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
298 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
300 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
301 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
302 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
303 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
305 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
306 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
308 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
313 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
314 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
316 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
320 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
321 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
322 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
324 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
328 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
329 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
330 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
333 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
336 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
337 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
340 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
341 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
342 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
344 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
345 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
350 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
351 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
352 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
353 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
355 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
356 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
358 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
359 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
361 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
362 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
363 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
364 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
366 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
367 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
368 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
371 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
372 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
373 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
374 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
376 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
377 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
380 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
381 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
382 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
384 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
388 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
389 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
390 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
392 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
393 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
394 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
397 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
398 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
399 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
401 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
402 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
403 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
405 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
406 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
410 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
411 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
412 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
414 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
415 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
416 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
417 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
419 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
423 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
424 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
425 value is a reference.
427 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
428 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
430 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
434 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
435 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
436 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
438 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
442 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
443 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
448 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
449 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
451 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
452 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
453 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
455 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
459 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
461 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
465 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
467 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
468 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
473 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
474 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
476 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
477 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
478 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
479 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
480 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
482 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
483 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
484 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
485 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
487 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
491 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
492 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
497 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
499 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
501 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
506 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
508 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
512 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
513 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
514 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
516 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
517 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
518 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
519 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
521 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
522 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
523 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
524 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
525 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
528 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
533 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
534 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
535 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
536 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
537 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
540 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
544 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
547 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
548 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
552 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
553 function (not just method). (doy)
557 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
558 and aren't easily installable/testable.
560 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
564 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
565 to be overridden more easily (doy).
567 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
571 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
572 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
574 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
578 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
579 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
580 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
582 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
586 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
587 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
588 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
590 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
591 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
595 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
596 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
598 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
599 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
603 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
604 is applied to a class (t0m).
606 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
607 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
609 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
612 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
613 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
615 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
616 be much more robust. (doy)
618 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
620 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
623 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
627 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
628 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
630 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
634 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
635 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
637 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
640 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
641 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
642 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
644 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
645 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
646 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
649 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
651 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
655 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
656 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
660 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
662 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
667 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
671 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
672 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
676 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
678 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
682 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
683 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
687 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
688 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
692 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
693 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
695 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
699 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
700 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
701 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
704 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
708 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
709 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
710 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
711 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
713 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
717 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
718 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
719 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
723 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
726 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
731 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
732 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
736 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
737 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
739 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
740 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
741 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
742 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
744 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
748 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
752 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
753 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
755 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
756 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
757 - Moose::Util::does_role
758 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
759 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
760 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
762 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
766 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
767 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
768 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
771 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
775 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
776 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
779 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
783 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
784 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
787 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
791 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
793 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
794 class. (Dave Rolsky).
796 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
797 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
798 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
800 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
801 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
802 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
805 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
806 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
808 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
809 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
810 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
812 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
814 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
815 substr et al, again. (sorear)
817 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
819 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
822 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
823 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
825 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
826 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
828 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
829 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
830 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
831 dependencies installed.
833 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
834 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
837 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
839 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
843 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
846 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
847 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
850 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
851 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
853 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
854 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
857 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
858 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
859 others. (nothingmuch)
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
862 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
863 remove_accessors. (doy)
865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
866 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
867 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
870 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
872 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
874 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
875 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
878 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
879 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
882 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
884 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
886 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
887 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
890 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
891 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
892 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
893 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
894 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
896 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
899 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
900 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
901 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
902 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
905 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
906 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
907 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
908 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
909 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
911 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
912 which were not receiving the value of
913 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
914 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
915 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
916 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
920 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
921 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
922 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
923 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
924 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
927 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
928 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
929 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
930 - added tests for this (Stevan)
933 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
934 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
935 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
938 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
940 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
943 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
944 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
947 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
948 class if you pass it options for
949 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
950 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
951 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
952 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
953 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
954 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
955 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
956 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
957 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
959 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
960 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
961 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
962 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
963 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
966 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
967 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
968 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
969 existing delegation API. (hdp)
971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
972 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
973 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
974 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
975 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
976 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
979 * Moose::Error::Croak
980 * Moose::Error::Confess
981 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
982 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
985 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
988 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
989 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
990 installing a broken sub. (doy)
993 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
996 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
997 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
998 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1000 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1001 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1002 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1003 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1004 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1007 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1010 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1012 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1013 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1016 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1017 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1021 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1022 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1025 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1026 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1027 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1028 using it for new code!
1030 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1031 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1032 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1033 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1035 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1036 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1037 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1038 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1039 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1040 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1041 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1042 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1045 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1048 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1049 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1053 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1056 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1057 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1059 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1061 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1062 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1064 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1065 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1066 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1068 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1069 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1070 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1073 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1075 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1076 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1077 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1078 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1080 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1082 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1086 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1087 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1089 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1090 associated_methods. (hdp)
1091 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1092 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1093 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1094 misspelled) arguments
1096 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1097 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1098 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1099 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1102 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1103 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1105 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1109 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1110 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1113 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1114 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1116 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1117 * Moose::Meta::Class
1118 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1119 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1121 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1122 * Moose::Manual::Types
1123 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1124 string parsing rathole (mst)
1126 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1127 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1128 using plain objects instead
1130 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1131 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1132 that's what we need.
1134 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1135 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1136 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1137 three times today (perigrin)
1138 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1139 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1142 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1143 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1144 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1147 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1148 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1149 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1150 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1151 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1152 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1155 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1156 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1157 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1158 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1161 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1163 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1166 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1168 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1171 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1172 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1173 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1177 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1178 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1181 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1182 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1184 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1185 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1186 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1188 * Moose::Unsweetened
1189 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1191 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1192 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1195 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1199 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1200 methods during global destruction (doy)
1202 * Moose::Meta::Class
1203 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1204 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1205 consumption (Sartak)
1207 * Moose::Meta::Class
1208 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1209 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1212 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1213 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1216 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1217 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1219 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1221 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1225 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1226 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1227 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1230 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1231 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1232 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1235 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1237 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1239 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1242 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1243 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1244 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1245 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1247 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1248 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1249 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1252 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1255 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1256 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1257 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1261 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1262 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1264 * Moose::Meta::Class
1265 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1267 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1269 * Moose::Meta::Class
1270 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1271 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1274 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1275 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1278 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1279 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1282 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1285 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1288 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1294 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1295 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1298 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1299 * More deprecations and renamings
1300 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1301 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1302 when an object is constructed)
1305 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1306 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1307 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1310 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1311 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1312 feature, and it works again.
1315 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1317 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1319 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1320 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1321 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1324 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1325 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1326 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1327 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1330 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1331 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1332 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1333 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1336 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1337 metaclass object. (hdp)
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1341 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1343 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1344 point out this fact. (hdp)
1346 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1347 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1349 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1350 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1352 * Moose::Meta::Class
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1354 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1355 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1356 called during instance construction were passed the
1357 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1358 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1360 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1361 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1364 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1365 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1366 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1369 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1370 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1371 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1372 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1373 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1375 - Moose::Meta::Class
1376 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1378 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1379 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1380 when an object is constructed)
1381 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1383 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1384 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1385 when an object is constructed)
1386 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1387 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1388 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1391 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1393 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1394 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1396 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1398 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1399 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1400 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1403 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1404 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1406 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1408 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1409 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1411 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1412 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1415 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1416 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1419 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1420 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1421 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1424 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1428 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1429 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1430 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1433 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1436 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1437 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1438 with recommended workarounds.
1440 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1441 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1444 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1445 (yes, spelled like that).
1447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1448 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1450 * Moose::Meta::Class
1451 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1452 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1454 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1457 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1458 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1459 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1460 instead. Reported by doy.
1462 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1464 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1465 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1468 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1469 message) is now deprecated.
1470 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1471 often got it wrong. For example:
1473 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1475 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1479 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1480 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1481 bite you in weird cases.
1483 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1484 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1485 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1486 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1488 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1489 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1493 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1496 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1497 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1500 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1501 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1504 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1507 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1509 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1510 - added tests for this (stevan)
1512 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1513 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1514 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1515 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1519 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1520 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1521 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1522 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1524 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1525 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1526 - added tests for this (rafl)
1528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1529 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1530 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1531 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1535 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1536 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1539 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1540 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1541 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1543 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1545 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1546 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1548 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1549 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1550 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1551 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1552 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1555 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1556 error message did not specify the attribute name
1559 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1561 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1563 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1564 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1565 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1568 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1571 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1573 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1574 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1575 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1576 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1578 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1580 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1581 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1582 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1583 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1586 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1587 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1590 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1591 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1592 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1593 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1596 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1597 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1598 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1599 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1602 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1603 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1604 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1605 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1606 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1608 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1609 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1610 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1611 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1612 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1613 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1616 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1618 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1619 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1620 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1621 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1623 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1624 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1627 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1631 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1632 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1634 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1635 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1636 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1637 guts. (nothingmuch).
1639 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1641 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1643 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1644 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1645 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1646 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1648 * Moose::Meta::Class
1649 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1652 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1653 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1655 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1656 * Moose::Unsweetened
1657 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1660 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1661 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1662 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1663 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1664 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1665 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1668 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1669 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1670 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1671 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1672 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1673 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1674 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1675 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1676 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1680 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1681 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1684 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1685 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1686 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1689 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1690 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1691 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1692 same methods for a single role did not work
1693 right (worked just fine with multiple
1695 - added test for this (stevan)
1697 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1698 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1699 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1702 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1703 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1704 - added test for this (t0m)
1707 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1708 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1709 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1712 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1713 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1714 - added test for this (t0m)
1716 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1717 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1718 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1719 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1720 - added test for this (perigrin)
1723 - create method for constructing a role
1724 dynamically (Sartak)
1725 - added test for this (Sartak)
1726 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1727 - added test for this (Sartak)
1730 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1733 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1734 methods is useful (Sartak)
1736 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1738 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1741 * Moose::Meta::Class
1742 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1743 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1744 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1745 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1746 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1750 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1751 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1754 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1755 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1756 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1757 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1759 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1761 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1762 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1766 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1767 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1768 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1769 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1770 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1771 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1775 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1776 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1777 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1778 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1779 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1780 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1781 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1782 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1783 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1784 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1786 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1787 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1790 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1791 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1792 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1793 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1794 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1796 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1798 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1799 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1800 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1803 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1806 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1807 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1808 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1812 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1814 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1816 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1817 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1819 * Moose::Meta::Class
1820 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1821 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1822 a required attribute
1824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1826 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1827 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1829 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1830 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1833 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1834 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1835 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1836 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1837 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1838 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1839 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1842 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1843 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1845 * Roles and role application
1846 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1847 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1848 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1849 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1850 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1852 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1853 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1856 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1857 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1858 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1859 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1860 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1863 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1864 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1865 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1866 changes in the Moose internals.
1868 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1869 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1870 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1874 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1875 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1876 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1878 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1879 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1880 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1881 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1884 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1885 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1886 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1887 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1888 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1889 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1890 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1891 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1892 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1893 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1894 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1895 constraint implementations.
1897 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1901 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1902 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1903 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1904 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1905 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1906 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 - added tests for this (rafl)
1909 * Moose::Meta::Class
1910 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1911 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1912 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1913 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1914 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1915 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1916 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1920 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1921 - added tests for this (thepler)
1923 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1924 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1925 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1926 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1929 * Moose::Meta::Class
1930 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1931 * Moose::Meta::Method
1934 * Moose::Error::Default
1935 * Moose::Error::Croak
1936 * Moose::Error::Confess
1937 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1938 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1939 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1940 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1941 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1942 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1944 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1946 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1947 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 * Moose::Unsweetened
1950 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1951 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1952 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1955 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1956 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1957 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1958 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1961 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1962 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1964 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1965 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1966 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1967 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1970 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1972 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1973 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1975 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1978 - Various bug fixes.
1980 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1981 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1983 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1985 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1986 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1987 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1988 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1989 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1990 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1993 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1994 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1997 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1998 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2001 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2002 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2003 dependency to 0.64_07.
2005 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2006 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2007 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2010 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2013 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2014 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2015 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2016 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2017 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2018 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2021 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2023 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2025 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2026 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2030 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2031 method when that method was provided by another role being
2032 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2033 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2035 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2037 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2038 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2041 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2042 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2043 - added test for this (t0m)
2045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2046 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2047 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2049 - added test for this (t0m)
2052 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2053 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2054 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2057 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2058 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):

2063 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2065 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2066 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2067 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

2140 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2141 ... this is not my day today ...
2143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2144 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2145 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2146 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2147 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2150 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2151 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2152 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2153 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2154 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2157 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2159 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2160 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2192 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2193 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2194 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2195 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2196 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2197 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2198 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2199 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2200 - added tests for this
2202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2203 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2204 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2313 XS based functionality is now optional
2314 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2315 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2316 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2755 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2756 new method map caching in Class::MOP
2758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2763 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2764 - added tests for this
2766 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2768 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2769 types without having to explictly define them
2770 - added tests for this
2772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2773 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2774 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2776 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2778 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2779 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2780 - added tests for this
2781 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2782 a single type at different times instead of
2783 having to do it all in one place
2784 - added tests for this
2786 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2787 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2788 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2791 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2792 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2793 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2794 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2795 new features above (although you cannot add
2796 more type coercions for Union types)
2798 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2800 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2801 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2802 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2803 - added tests for this.
2804 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2805 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2806 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2807 - added tests for this
2808 - added docs for this
2810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2811 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2812 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2813 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2814 instead it will just return undef.
2815 - added docs for this
2817 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2829 with work correctly.
2830 - added tests for this
2833 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2834 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2837 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2838 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2839 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2841 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2853 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2855 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2873 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2876 - fixed how required methods are handled
2877 when they encounter overriden or modified
2878 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2879 - added tests for this
2881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2882 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2883 the | always creates a union and so is
2884 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2885 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2887 - added more tests for this
2889 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2892 * Parameterized Types
2893 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2894 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2895 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2896 They can also be nested:
2897 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2898 And work with the type unions as well:
2899 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2901 * Better Framework Extendability
2902 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2903 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2904 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2905 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2908 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2909 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2910 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2911 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2914 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2916 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2917 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2920 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2921 set it to inline the accessors

2947 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2948 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2950 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2951 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2952 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2953 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2955 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2956 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2957 - updated the accompanying test as well
2959 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2960 +++ with new features added as well +++
2962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2963 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2964 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2965 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2966 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2968 - added tests for this
2970 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2971 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2972 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2973 can track where the type constraints are created
2975 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2976 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2977 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2979 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2980 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2981 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2982 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2996 (thanks to shlomif).
2998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2999 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3000 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3001 - added tests for this
3002 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
3004 - added tests for this
3006 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3007 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3033 - utilities for easier working with Moose classes
3034 - added tests for these
3037 - This contains Moose specific test functions
3038 - added tests for these
3040 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3041 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3044 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3045 to the 'handles' option.
3046 - added tests and docs for this

3049 (but not changing the handles option)
3050 - added tests and docs for this
3053 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3054 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3055 - adjusted tests for this
3057 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3059 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3065 the other side (perigrin)
3067 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3069 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3070 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3071 prototypes for functions
3072 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3073 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3083 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3086 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3087 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3088 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3089 - added tests for this
3091 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3093 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3106 where not handled correctly in roles
3107 - added tests for this
3109 * Moose::Meta::Class
3110 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3111 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3112 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3114 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3115 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3117 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3118 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3119 so this release is just to fix that.
3122 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3123 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3124 (thanks to konobi for this)
3125 - added tests and docs
3127 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3128 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3131 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3132 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3133 - added tests for this

3135 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3136 functions to facilitate introspection.
3138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3139 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3140 to build the list of delegated methods
3141 correctly (and not override important
3142 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3144 - added tests and docs for this
3145 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3146 so that you can actually document your
3147 attributes and inspect them through the
3149 - added tests and docs for this
3151 * Moose::Meta::Class
3152 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3153 it will first look in for the class in the
3154 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3155 then default to just loading $name.
3156 - added tests and docs for this
3158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3159 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3160 - added test for this
3163 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3164 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3165 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3166 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3168 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3169 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3172 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3174 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3175 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3176 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3179 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3180 !! for this developer release to work !!
3182 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3183 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3184 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3185 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3186 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3187 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3188 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3189 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3190 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3191 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3192 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3194 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3195 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3196 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3197 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3200 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3202 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3203 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3204 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3206 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3208 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3209 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3212 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3213 called unless they actually need to be.
3214 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3215 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3216 DEMOLISH method present.
3218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3219 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3220 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3221 type constraint, which allows for a
3222 hand optimized version of the type
3223 constraint to be used when possible.
3224 - Any internally created type constraints
3225 now provide an optimized version as well.
3227 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3229 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3230 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3231 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3234 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3235 your class namespace of these exported
3238 * Moose::Meta::Class
3239 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3240 comes up during global destruction
3242 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3246 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3250 - changed how we do type checks so that
3251 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3254 - moved accessor generation methods to
3255 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3256 conform to the API changes from
3259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3260 - changed how constraints are compiled
3261 so that we do less recursion and more
3262 iteration. This makes the type check
3264 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3268 - created this from methods formerly found in
3269 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3271 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3272 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3275 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3277 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3278 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3280 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3283 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3284 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3285 - added tests for this
3286 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3287 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3288 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3289 - removed tests for this
3291 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3293 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3294 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3295 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3298 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3299 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3300 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3302 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3303 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3304 comments for more info.
3307 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3308 asked questions and common problems
3310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3311 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3312 - added tests for this
3314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3315 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3316 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3317 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3319 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3320 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3323 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3324 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3325 is much appreciated :)
3326 - added tests for this
3328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3329 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3330 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3334 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3336 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3338 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3339 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3343 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3344 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3345 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3347 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3349 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3352 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3353 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3354 keywords because we need to localize them.
3355 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3357 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3358 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3359 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3362 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3366 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3367 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3370 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3371 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3372 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3374 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3376 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3377 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3378 bottom of your class file.
3381 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3384 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3386 - improved error message when loading modules so
3387 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3388 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3389 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3392 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3393 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3394 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3396 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3397 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3399 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3400 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3401 turn them on for you.
3402 - added tests for this
3403 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3404 in Moose::Meta::Class
3407 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3408 automatically turned on for you.
3409 - added tests for this
3412 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3413 - added tests for this
3414 - added some more edge case tests
3416 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3417 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3419 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3423 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3427 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3430 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3431 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3432 - This release works in combination with
3433 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3434 release because it uses the a new
3435 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3436 complete Role implementation. It has
3437 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3438 the the previous CPAN version. This
3439 release also lacks good updated docs,
3440 the official release will have updated docs.
3443 - refactored the keyword exports
3444 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3445 accepts more than one Role at a time
3446 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3447 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3450 - refactored the keyword exports
3451 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3452 accepts more than one Role at a time
3454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3455 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3456 string enumerations which can be used as
3458 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3461 - more careful checking of params to new()
3464 - much work done on the role composition
3465 - many new tests for conflict detection
3466 and composition edge cases
3467 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3468 looking at the tests
3470 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3471 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3472 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3474 * Moose::Meta::Class
3475 - some small changes to support the new
3477 - some small additions to support Roles
3479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3480 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3482 - some small changes to support the new
3484 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3485 with the 'handles' option
3486 - added several tests for this
3487 - no docs for this yet

3491 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3492 thanks to chansen for this commit
3493 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3494 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3495 on a per-attribute basis
3496 - added tests for this
3497 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3498 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3499 experimental feature and probably not finished
3500 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
