1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
8 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
9 - Preserve aliasing for delegated methods (doy)
11 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
12 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
13 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
16 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
17 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
18 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
19 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
22 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
23 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
25 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
26 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
28 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
30 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
31 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
34 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
35 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
36 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
37 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
38 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
40 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
41 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
42 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
43 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
44 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
45 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
46 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
49 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
50 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
51 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
52 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
53 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
55 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
56 which were not receiving the value of
57 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
58 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
59 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
60 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
64 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
65 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
66 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
68 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
69 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
70 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
71 - added tests for this (Stevan)
74 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
75 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
76 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
79 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
80 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
81 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
83 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
84 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
85 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
88 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
89 class if you pass it options for
90 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
91 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
92 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
93 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
94 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
95 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
96 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
97 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
98 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
100 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
101 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
102 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
103 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
104 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
107 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
109 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
110 existing delegation API. (hdp)
112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
113 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
114 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
115 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
116 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
117 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
120 * Moose::Error::Croak
121 * Moose::Error::Confess
122 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
123 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
126 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
129 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
130 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
131 installing a broken sub. (doy)
134 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
137 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
138 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
139 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
141 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
142 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
143 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
144 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
145 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
148 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
151 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
153 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
154 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
157 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
158 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
162 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
163 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
166 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
167 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
168 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
169 using it for new code!
171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
172 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
173 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
174 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
176 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
177 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
178 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
179 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
180 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
181 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
182 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
183 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
186 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
189 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
190 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
194 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
197 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
198 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
202 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
203 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
206 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
207 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
210 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
211 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
214 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
216 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
217 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
218 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
219 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
221 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
223 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
227 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
228 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
230 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
231 associated_methods. (hdp)
232 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
233 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
234 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
235 misspelled) arguments
237 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
238 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
239 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
240 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
244 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
246 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
250 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
251 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
254 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
255 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
257 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
259 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
260 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
262 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
263 * Moose::Manual::Types
264 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
265 string parsing rathole (mst)
267 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
268 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
269 using plain objects instead
271 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
272 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
275 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
277 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
278 three times today (perigrin)
279 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
280 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
283 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
284 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
285 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
288 - A role's required methods are now represented by
289 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
290 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
291 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
292 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
293 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
296 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
297 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
298 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
299 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
302 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
304 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
307 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
309 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
312 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
313 during global destruction. This method has been made more
314 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
318 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
319 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
322 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
323 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
325 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
326 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
327 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
330 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
332 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
333 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
336 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
340 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
341 methods during global destruction (doy)
344 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
345 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
349 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
350 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
353 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
354 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
357 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
358 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
360 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
362 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
366 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
367 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
368 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
371 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
372 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
373 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
376 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
378 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
379 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
380 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
383 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
384 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
385 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
386 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
389 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
390 of the Moose core (Sartak)
393 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
396 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
398 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
402 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
403 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
406 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
408 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
411 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
412 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
415 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
416 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
419 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
420 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
423 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
426 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
429 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
433 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
435 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
436 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
439 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
440 * More deprecations and renamings
441 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
442 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
443 when an object is constructed)
446 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
447 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
448 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
451 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
452 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
453 feature, and it works again.
456 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
458 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
460 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
461 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
462 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
465 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
466 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
467 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
468 message. Test provided by perigrin.
470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
471 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
472 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
473 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
474 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
477 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
478 metaclass object. (hdp)
480 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
481 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
482 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
483 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
484 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
485 point out this fact. (hdp)
487 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
488 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
490 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
491 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
495 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
496 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
497 called during instance construction were passed the
498 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
499 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
501 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
502 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
505 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
506 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
507 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
510 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
511 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
512 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
513 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
514 them, but they are not for "public" use.
517 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
519 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
520 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
521 when an object is constructed)
522 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
524 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
525 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
526 when an object is constructed)
527 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
528 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
529 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
532 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
534 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
535 * No changes from 0.72_01.
537 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
539 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
540 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
541 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
544 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
545 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
547 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
549 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
550 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
552 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
553 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
556 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
557 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
560 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
561 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
562 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
565 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
569 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
570 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
571 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
573 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
574 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
577 * Moose::Manual::Delta
578 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
579 with recommended workarounds.
581 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
582 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
584 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
585 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
586 (yes, spelled like that).
588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
589 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
592 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
593 changes in latest Class::MOP.
595 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
598 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
599 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
600 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
601 instead. Reported by doy.
603 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
605 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
606 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
609 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
610 message) is now deprecated.
611 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
612 often got it wrong. For example:
614 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
616 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
620 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
621 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
622 bite you in weird cases.
624 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
625 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
626 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
629 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
630 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
634 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
637 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
638 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
641 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
642 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
645 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
648 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
650 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
651 - added tests for this (stevan)
653 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
654 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
655 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
656 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
660 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
661 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
662 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
663 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
665 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
666 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
667 - added tests for this (rafl)
669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
670 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
671 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
672 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
676 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
677 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
680 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
681 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
682 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
684 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
686 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
687 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
690 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
691 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
692 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
693 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
696 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
697 error message did not specify the attribute name
700 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
702 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
704 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
705 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
706 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
709 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
712 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
714 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
715 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
716 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
717 of fixes and formatting improvements.
719 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
721 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
722 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
723 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
724 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
727 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
728 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
731 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
732 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
733 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
734 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
737 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
738 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
739 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
740 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
743 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
744 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
745 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
746 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
747 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
749 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
750 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
751 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
752 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
753 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
754 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
756 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
757 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
759 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
760 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
761 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
762 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
765 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
768 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
772 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
773 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
775 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
776 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
777 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
780 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
782 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
784 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
785 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
786 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
787 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
790 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
793 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
794 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
796 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
798 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
801 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
802 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
803 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
804 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
805 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
806 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
809 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
810 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
811 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
812 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
813 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
814 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
815 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
816 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
817 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
819 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
821 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
822 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
824 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
825 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
826 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
827 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
829 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
830 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
831 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
832 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
833 same methods for a single role did not work
834 right (worked just fine with multiple
836 - added test for this (stevan)
838 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
839 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
840 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
843 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
844 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
845 - added test for this (t0m)
848 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
849 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
850 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
853 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
854 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
855 - added test for this (t0m)
857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
858 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
859 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
860 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
861 - added test for this (perigrin)
864 - create method for constructing a role
866 - added test for this (Sartak)
867 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
868 - added test for this (Sartak)
871 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
873 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
874 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
875 methods is useful (Sartak)
877 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
879 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
883 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
884 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
885 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
886 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
887 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
888 - added tests for this (jdv79)
891 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
892 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
894 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
895 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
896 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
897 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
898 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
900 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
902 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
903 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
904 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
907 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
908 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
909 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
910 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
911 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
912 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
916 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
917 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
918 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
919 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
920 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
921 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
922 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
923 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
924 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
925 future. (jnapiorkowski)
927 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
928 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
931 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
932 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
933 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
934 type. (jnapiorkowski)
935 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
937 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
939 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
940 predicate, and link to more details sections in
941 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
943 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
944 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
946 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
947 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
948 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
949 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
952 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
953 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
955 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
957 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
958 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
961 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
962 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
966 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
967 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
968 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
970 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
971 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
973 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
974 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
975 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
976 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
977 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
978 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
979 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
980 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
982 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
983 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
984 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
986 * Roles and role application
987 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
988 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
989 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
990 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
991 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
993 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
994 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
997 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
998 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
999 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1000 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1001 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1004 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1005 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1006 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1007 changes in the Moose internals.
1009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1011 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1014 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1015 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1016 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1017 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1020 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1021 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1022 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1025 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1026 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1027 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1028 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1029 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1030 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1031 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1032 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1033 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1034 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1035 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1036 constraint implementations.
1038 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1042 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1043 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1044 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1045 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1046 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1047 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1048 - added tests for this (rafl)
1050 * Moose::Meta::Class
1051 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1052 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1053 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1054 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1055 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1056 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1057 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1061 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1062 - added tests for this (thepler)
1064 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1065 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1066 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1067 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1070 * Moose::Meta::Class
1071 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method
1075 * Moose::Error::Default
1076 * Moose::Error::Croak
1077 * Moose::Error::Confess
1078 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1079 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1080 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1081 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1082 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1083 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1085 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1087 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1088 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1090 * Moose::Unsweetened
1091 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1092 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1093 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1096 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1097 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1098 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1099 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1102 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1103 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1105 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1106 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1107 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1108 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1111 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1113 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1114 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1116 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1119 - Various bug fixes.
1121 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1122 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1124 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1126 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1127 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1128 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1129 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1130 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1131 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1134 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1135 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1137 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1139 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1142 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1143 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1144 dependency to 0.64_07.
1146 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1147 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1148 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1151 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1155 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1156 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1157 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1158 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1159 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1162 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1164 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1166 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1167 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1171 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1172 method when that method was provided by another role being
1173 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1176 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1178 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1179 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1182 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1183 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1184 - added test for this (t0m)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1187 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1188 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1190 - added test for this (t0m)
1193 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1194 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1195 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1199 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1201 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1203 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1204 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1206 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1207 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1208 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1211 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1216 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1217 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1221 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1222 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1223 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1227 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1228 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1229 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1232 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1236 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1237 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1238 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1240 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1242 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1243 created so that the process can be more easily
1244 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1247 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1248 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1249 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1252 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1255 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1256 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1258 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1259 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1260 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1262 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1263 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1264 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1266 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1267 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1269 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1270 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1274 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1278 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1279 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1281 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1282 ... this is not my day today ...
1284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1285 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1286 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1287 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1288 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1291 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1292 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1293 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1294 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1295 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1298 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1300 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1301 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1302 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1303 this is not ever something you want to do
1304 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1305 - added tests for this (stevan)
1308 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1310 - added test for this
1312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1313 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1314 - added tests for this (wreis)
1316 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1317 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1318 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1319 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1321 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1322 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1323 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1326 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1328 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1330 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1333 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1334 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1335 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1336 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1337 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1338 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1339 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1340 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1341 - added tests for this
1343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1344 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1345 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1346 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1348 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1351 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1352 - added tests for this (sartak)

2039 And work with the type unions as well:
2040 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2042 * Better Framework Extendability
2043 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2044 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2045 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2046 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2049 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2050 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2051 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2052 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2055 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2057 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2058 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2061 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2101 +++ with new features added as well +++
2103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2107 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2109 - added tests for this
2111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2118 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2120 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2140 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2141 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2190 (but not changing the handles option)
2191 - added tests and docs for this
2194 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2195 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2200 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2206 the other side (perigrin)
2208 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2210 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2211 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2212 prototypes for functions
2213 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2214 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2222 merlyn for finding this bug
2223 - tests added for this
2224 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2227 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2228 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2229 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2230 - added tests for this
2232 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2234 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2255 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2256 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2258 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2259 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2260 so this release is just to fix that.
2263 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2264 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2265 (thanks to konobi for this)
2266 - added tests and docs
2268 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2277 functions to facilitate introspection.
2279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2280 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2281 to build the list of delegated methods
2282 correctly (and not override important
2283 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2285 - added tests and docs for this
2286 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2287 so that you can actually document your
2288 attributes and inspect them through the
2290 - added tests and docs for this
2292 * Moose::Meta::Class
2293 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2294 it will first look in for the class in the
2295 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2296 then default to just loading $name.
2297 - added tests and docs for this
2299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2300 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2301 - added test for this
2304 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2305 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2306 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2307 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2309 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2310 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2313 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2315 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2316 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2317 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2320 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2321 !! for this developer release to work !!
2323 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2324 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2325 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2326 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2327 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2328 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2329 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2330 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2331 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2332 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2333 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2335 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2336 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2337 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2338 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2341 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2342 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2343 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2344 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2345 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2347 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2349 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2350 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2353 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2354 called unless they actually need to be.
2355 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2356 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2357 DEMOLISH method present.
2359 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2360 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2361 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2362 type constraint, which allows for a
2363 hand optimized version of the type
2364 constraint to be used when possible.
2365 - Any internally created type constraints
2366 now provide an optimized version as well.
2368 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2370 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2371 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2372 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2374 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2375 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2376 your class namespace of these exported
2379 * Moose::Meta::Class
2380 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2381 comes up during global destruction
2383 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2387 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2390 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2391 - changed how we do type checks so that
2392 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2395 - moved accessor generation methods to
2396 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2397 conform to the API changes from
2400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2401 - changed how constraints are compiled
2402 so that we do less recursion and more
2403 iteration. This makes the type check
2405 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2409 - created this from methods formerly found in
2410 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2412 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2413 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2416 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2419 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2421 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2424 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2425 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2426 - added tests for this
2427 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2428 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2429 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2430 - removed tests for this
2432 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2434 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2435 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2436 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2439 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2440 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2441 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2443 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2444 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2445 comments for more info.
2448 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2449 asked questions and common problems
2451 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2452 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2453 - added tests for this
2455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2456 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2457 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2458 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2460 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2461 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2464 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2465 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2466 is much appreciated :)
2467 - added tests for this
2469 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2470 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2471 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2474 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2475 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2477 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2479 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2480 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2484 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2485 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2486 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2488 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2490 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2493 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2494 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2495 keywords because we need to localize them.
2496 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2498 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2499 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2500 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2503 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2506 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2507 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2508 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2511 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2512 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2513 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2515 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2517 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2518 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2519 bottom of your class file.
2522 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2525 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2527 - improved error message when loading modules so
2528 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2529 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2530 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2533 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2534 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2535 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2537 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2538 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2540 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2541 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2542 turn them on for you.
2543 - added tests for this
2544 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2545 in Moose::Meta::Class

2572 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2573 - This release works in combination with
2574 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2575 release because it uses the a new
2576 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2577 complete Role implementation. It has
2578 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2579 the the previous CPAN version. This
2580 release also lacks good updated docs,
2581 the official release will have updated docs.
2584 - refactored the keyword exports
2585 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2586 accepts more than one Role at a time

2588 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2591 - refactored the keyword exports
2592 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2593 accepts more than one Role at a time
2595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2597 string enumerations which can be used as
2599 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2602 - more careful checking of params to new()
2605 - much work done on the role composition
2606 - many new tests for conflict detection
2607 and composition edge cases
2608 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2609 looking at the tests
2611 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2612 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2613 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2632 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2633 thanks to chansen for this commit
2634 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2635 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2636 on a per-attribute basis
2637 - added tests for this
2638 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2639 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2640 experimental feature and probably not finished
2641 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2642 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2643 - added tests for this
2646 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
