1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Error::Confess
6 - Clarify documentation on how to use. (Curtis Jewell)
9 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
10 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
12 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
13 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
14 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
15 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
16 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
18 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
19 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
22 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
24 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
25 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
28 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
29 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
31 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
32 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
33 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
34 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
36 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
37 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
38 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
39 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
40 using it for new code!
42 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
43 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
44 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
45 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
48 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
49 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
50 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
51 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
52 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
53 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
54 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
57 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
60 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
61 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
64 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
65 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
67 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
68 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
69 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
72 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
73 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
74 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
77 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
78 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
80 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
81 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
82 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
85 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
86 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
87 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
88 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
89 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
90 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
92 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
94 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
97 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
98 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
99 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
101 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
102 associated_methods. (hdp)
103 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
104 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
105 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
106 misspelled) arguments
108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
109 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
110 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
111 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
115 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
117 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
121 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
122 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
125 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
126 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
128 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
130 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
131 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
133 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
134 * Moose::Manual::Types
135 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
136 string parsing rathole (mst)
138 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
139 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
140 using plain objects instead
142 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
143 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
146 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
148 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
149 three times today (perigrin)
150 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
151 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
154 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
155 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
156 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
159 - A role's required methods are now represented by
160 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
161 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
162 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
163 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
164 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
167 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
168 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
169 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
170 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
173 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
175 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
178 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
180 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
183 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
184 during global destruction. This method has been made more
185 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
189 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
190 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
193 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
194 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
196 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
197 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
198 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
201 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
203 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
204 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
207 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
211 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
212 methods during global destruction (doy)
215 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
216 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
220 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
221 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
224 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
225 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
228 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
229 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
231 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
233 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
237 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
238 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
239 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
242 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
243 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
244 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
247 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
249 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
251 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
255 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
256 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
257 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
259 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
260 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
261 of the Moose core (Sartak)
264 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
267 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
268 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
269 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
273 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
274 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
277 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
279 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
282 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
283 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
286 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
287 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
290 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
291 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
294 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
297 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
300 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
304 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
307 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
310 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
311 * More deprecations and renamings
312 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
313 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
314 when an object is constructed)
317 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
318 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
319 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
322 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
323 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
324 feature, and it works again.
327 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
329 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
331 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
332 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
333 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
336 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
337 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
338 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
339 message. Test provided by perigrin.
341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
342 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
343 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
344 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
345 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
348 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
349 metaclass object. (hdp)
351 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
352 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
355 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
356 point out this fact. (hdp)
358 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
359 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
361 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
362 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
366 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
367 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
368 called during instance construction were passed the
369 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
370 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
372 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
373 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
376 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
377 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
378 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
381 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
382 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
383 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
384 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
385 them, but they are not for "public" use.
388 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
390 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
391 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
392 when an object is constructed)
393 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
395 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
396 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
397 when an object is constructed)
398 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
399 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
400 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
403 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
405 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
406 * No changes from 0.72_01.
408 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
410 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
411 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
412 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
415 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
416 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
418 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
420 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
421 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
423 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
424 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
427 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
428 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
431 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
432 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
433 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
436 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
440 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
441 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
442 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
445 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
448 * Moose::Manual::Delta
449 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
450 with recommended workarounds.
452 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
453 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
456 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
457 (yes, spelled like that).
459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
460 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
463 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
464 changes in latest Class::MOP.
466 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
469 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
470 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
471 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
472 instead. Reported by doy.
474 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
476 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
477 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
480 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
481 message) is now deprecated.
482 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
483 often got it wrong. For example:
485 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
487 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
491 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
492 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
493 bite you in weird cases.
495 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
496 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
497 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
500 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
501 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
505 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
508 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
509 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
512 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
513 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
516 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
519 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
521 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
522 - added tests for this (stevan)
524 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
525 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
526 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
527 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
531 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
532 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
533 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
534 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
536 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
537 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
538 - added tests for this (rafl)
540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
541 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
542 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
543 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
547 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
548 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
551 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
552 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
553 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
555 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
557 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
558 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
561 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
562 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
563 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
564 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
567 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
568 error message did not specify the attribute name
571 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
573 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
575 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
576 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
577 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
580 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
583 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
585 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
586 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
587 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
588 of fixes and formatting improvements.
590 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
592 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
593 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
594 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
595 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
598 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
599 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
602 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
603 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
604 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
605 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
608 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
609 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
610 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
611 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
614 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
615 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
616 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
617 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
618 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
620 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
621 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
622 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
623 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
624 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
625 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
628 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
630 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
631 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
632 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
633 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
636 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
639 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
643 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
644 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
646 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
647 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
648 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
651 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
653 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
656 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
657 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
658 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
661 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
664 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
665 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
667 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
669 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
672 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
673 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
674 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
675 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
676 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
677 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
680 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
681 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
682 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
683 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
684 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
685 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
686 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
687 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
688 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
690 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
692 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
693 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
696 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
697 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
698 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
700 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
701 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
702 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
703 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
704 same methods for a single role did not work
705 right (worked just fine with multiple
707 - added test for this (stevan)
709 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
710 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
711 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
714 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
715 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
716 - added test for this (t0m)
719 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
720 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
721 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
724 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
725 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
726 - added test for this (t0m)
728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
729 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
730 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
731 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
732 - added test for this (perigrin)
735 - create method for constructing a role
737 - added test for this (Sartak)
738 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
739 - added test for this (Sartak)
742 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
744 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
745 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
746 methods is useful (Sartak)
748 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
749 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
750 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
754 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
755 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
756 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
757 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
758 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
759 - added tests for this (jdv79)
762 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
763 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
765 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
766 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
767 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
768 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
769 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
771 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
773 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
774 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
775 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
778 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
779 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
780 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
781 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
782 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
783 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
787 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
788 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
789 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
790 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
791 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
792 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
793 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
794 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
795 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
796 future. (jnapiorkowski)
798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
799 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
803 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
804 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
805 type. (jnapiorkowski)
806 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
808 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
810 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
811 predicate, and link to more details sections in
812 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
815 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
818 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
819 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
820 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
823 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
824 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
826 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
828 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
829 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
832 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
833 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
836 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
838 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
839 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
842 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
845 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
846 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
847 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
848 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
849 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
850 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
851 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
853 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
854 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
855 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
857 * Roles and role application
858 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
859 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
860 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
861 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
862 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
864 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
865 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
868 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
869 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
870 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
871 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
872 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
875 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
876 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
877 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
878 changes in the Moose internals.
880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
882 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
885 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
886 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
887 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
888 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
890 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
891 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
892 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
893 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
896 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
897 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
898 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
899 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
900 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
901 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
902 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
903 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
904 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
905 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
906 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
907 constraint implementations.
909 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
913 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
914 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
915 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
916 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
917 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
918 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
919 - added tests for this (rafl)
922 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
923 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
924 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
925 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
926 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
927 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
928 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
929 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
932 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
933 - added tests for this (thepler)
935 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
936 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
937 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
938 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
943 * Moose::Meta::Method
946 * Moose::Error::Default
947 * Moose::Error::Croak
948 * Moose::Error::Confess
949 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
950 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
951 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
952 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
953 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
954 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
956 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
958 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
959 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
962 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
963 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
964 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
966 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
967 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
968 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
969 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
970 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
973 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
974 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
976 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
977 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
978 several major changes in this release of Moose.
979 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
982 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
984 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
985 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
987 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
992 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
993 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
995 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
997 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
998 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
999 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1000 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1001 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1002 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1005 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1006 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1008 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1010 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1013 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1014 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1015 dependency to 0.64_07.
1017 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1018 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1019 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1022 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1025 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1026 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1027 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1028 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1029 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1030 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1033 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1035 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1038 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1042 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1043 method when that method was provided by another role being
1044 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1045 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1047 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1049 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1050 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1053 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1054 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1055 - added test for this (t0m)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1058 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1059 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1061 - added test for this (t0m)
1064 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1065 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1066 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1069 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1070 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1072 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1074 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1075 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1077 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1078 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1079 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1082 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1085 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1087 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1088 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1092 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1093 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1094 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1098 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1099 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1100 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1103 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1107 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1108 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1109 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1111 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1113 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1114 created so that the process can be more easily
1115 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1118 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1119 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1120 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1123 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1126 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1127 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1129 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1130 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1131 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1134 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1135 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1137 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1138 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1140 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1141 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1144 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1145 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1149 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1150 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1152 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1153 ... this is not my day today ...
1155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1156 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1157 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1158 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1159 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1162 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1163 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1164 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1165 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1166 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1169 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1171 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1172 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1173 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1174 this is not ever something you want to do
1175 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1176 - added tests for this (stevan)
1179 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1181 - added test for this
1183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1184 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1185 - added tests for this (wreis)
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1188 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1189 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1190 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1192 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1193 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1194 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1197 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1199 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1201 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1204 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1205 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1206 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1207 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1208 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1209 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1210 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1211 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1212 - added tests for this
1214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1215 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1216 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1217 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1219 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1221 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1222 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1223 - added tests for this (sartak)
1224 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1225 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1228 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1230 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1231 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1235 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1236 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1238 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1240 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1241 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1244 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1245 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1246 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1250 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1252 - added docs for this (TODO).
1253 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1254 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1255 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1256 - fix builder and default both being used
1261 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1263 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1264 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1265 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1269 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1273 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1274 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1275 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1278 - move the ClassName type check code to
1279 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1281 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1282 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1284 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1285 (early morning release engineering)--
1287 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1288 which was causing the indexer to choke
1290 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1291 (late night release engineering)--
1293 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1294 changes in this release
1296 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1297 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1298 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1300 * Moose::Meta::Class
1301 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1302 since it is called so often by &meta
1304 * Moose::Meta::Class
1306 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1307 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1311 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1312 method for immutablization to check if the
1313 destructor object even needs to be created
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1317 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1318 - added more descriptive error message to help
1319 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1320 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1322 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1324 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1325 XS based functionality is now optional
1326 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1327 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1328 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1330 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1331 to take care of this, mostly we added
1332 support for the package_name and name
1333 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1334 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1335 support regexp matching of names
1336 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1337 - tests added for this
1338 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1339 is currently not supported in roles,
1340 but, ... patches welcome
1341 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1342 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1343 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1346 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1347 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1348 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1349 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1350 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1351 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1352 - added test for this
1354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1355 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1356 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1359 * Moose::Meta::Class
1360 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1364 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1366 - added tests for this
1367 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1368 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1371 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1372 themselves parameterizable types
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1375 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1376 called by the inlined immutable
1378 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1380 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1381 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1382 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1383 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1385 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1386 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1390 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1391 causing occasional cpantester failures
1392 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1393 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1395 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008

1431 drink more coffee before
1432 doing release engineering
1434 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1549 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1551 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1595 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1596 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1890 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1891 - added tests for this

1901 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1904 * Parameterized Types
1905 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1906 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1907 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1908 They can also be nested:
1909 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1910 And work with the type unions as well:
1911 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1913 * Better Framework Extendability
1914 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1915 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1916 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1917 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1920 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1921 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1922 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1923 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2076 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2077 the other side (perigrin)
2079 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2081 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2082 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2083 prototypes for functions
2084 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2085 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2086 - added tests and docs for this
2087 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2088 default for where be { 1 }
2089 - added test for this
2091 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2092 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2093 merlyn for finding this bug
2094 - tests added for this
2095 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2098 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2099 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2100 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2101 - added tests for this
2103 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2105 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2106 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2107 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2110 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2112 * Moose::Meta::Class
2113 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2114 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2117 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2118 where not handled correctly in roles
2119 - added tests for this
2121 * Moose::Meta::Class
2122 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2123 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2124 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2126 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2127 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2129 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2130 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2131 so this release is just to fix that.
2134 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2135 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2136 (thanks to konobi for this)
2137 - added tests and docs
2139 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2140 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2142 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2143 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2144 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2145 - added tests for this
2146 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2147 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2148 functions to facilitate introspection.
2150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2151 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2152 to build the list of delegated methods
2153 correctly (and not override important
2154 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2156 - added tests and docs for this
2157 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2158 so that you can actually document your
2159 attributes and inspect them through the
2161 - added tests and docs for this
2163 * Moose::Meta::Class
2164 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2165 it will first look in for the class in the
2166 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2167 then default to just loading $name.
2168 - added tests and docs for this
2170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2171 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2172 - added test for this
2175 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2176 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2177 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2178 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2180 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2181 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2184 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2186 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2187 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2188 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2191 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2192 !! for this developer release to work !!
2194 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2195 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2196 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2197 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2198 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2199 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2200 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2201 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2202 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2203 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2204 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2206 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2207 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2208 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2209 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2212 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2214 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2215 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2216 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2218 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2220 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2221 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2224 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2225 called unless they actually need to be.
2226 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2227 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2228 DEMOLISH method present.
2230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2232 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2233 type constraint, which allows for a
2234 hand optimized version of the type
2235 constraint to be used when possible.
2236 - Any internally created type constraints
2237 now provide an optimized version as well.
2239 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2241 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2242 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2243 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2246 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2247 your class namespace of these exported
2250 * Moose::Meta::Class
2251 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2252 comes up during global destruction
2254 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2258 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2262 - changed how we do type checks so that
2263 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2266 - moved accessor generation methods to
2267 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2268 conform to the API changes from
2271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2272 - changed how constraints are compiled
2273 so that we do less recursion and more
2274 iteration. This makes the type check
2276 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2280 - created this from methods formerly found in
2281 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2283 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2284 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2287 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2290 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2292 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2295 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2296 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2297 - added tests for this
2298 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2299 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2300 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2301 - removed tests for this
2303 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2305 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2306 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2307 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2310 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2311 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2312 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2314 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2315 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2316 comments for more info.
2319 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2320 asked questions and common problems
2322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2323 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2324 - added tests for this
2326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2327 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2328 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2329 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2331 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2332 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2335 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2336 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2337 is much appreciated :)
2338 - added tests for this
2340 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2341 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2342 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2346 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2348 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2350 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2351 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2355 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2356 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2357 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2359 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2361 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2364 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2365 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2366 keywords because we need to localize them.
2367 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2369 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2370 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2371 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2374 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2378 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2379 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2382 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2383 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2384 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2386 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2388 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2389 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2390 bottom of your class file.
2393 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2396 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2398 - improved error message when loading modules so
2399 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2400 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2401 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2404 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2405 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2406 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2408 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2409 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2411 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2412 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2413 turn them on for you.
2414 - added tests for this
2415 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2416 in Moose::Meta::Class

2443 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2444 - This release works in combination with
2445 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2446 release because it uses the a new
2447 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2448 complete Role implementation. It has
2449 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2450 the the previous CPAN version. This
2451 release also lacks good updated docs,
2452 the official release will have updated docs.
2455 - refactored the keyword exports
2456 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2457 accepts more than one Role at a time

2463 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2464 accepts more than one Role at a time
2466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2468 string enumerations which can be used as
2470 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2473 - more careful checking of params to new()
2476 - much work done on the role composition
2477 - many new tests for conflict detection
2478 and composition edge cases
2479 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2480 looking at the tests
2482 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2483 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2484 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2486 * Moose::Meta::Class

2494 - some small changes to support the new
2496 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2497 with the 'handles' option

2505 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2506 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2507 on a per-attribute basis
2508 - added tests for this
2509 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2510 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2511 experimental feature and probably not finished
