1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
9 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
11 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
15 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
16 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
18 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
21 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
22 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
23 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
25 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
26 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
27 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
30 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
32 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
36 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
37 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
41 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
43 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
47 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
48 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
52 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
53 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
57 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
63 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
64 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
68 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
69 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
73 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
74 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
76 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
80 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
81 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
82 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
89 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
90 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
91 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
92 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
98 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
99 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
100 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
104 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
107 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
112 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
113 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
117 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
118 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
120 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
121 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
122 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
123 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
125 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
129 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
133 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
134 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
136 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
137 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
138 - Moose::Util::does_role
139 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
140 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
141 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
143 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
147 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
148 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
149 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
152 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
156 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
157 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
160 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
164 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
165 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
168 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
172 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
174 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
175 class. (Dave Rolsky).
177 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
178 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
179 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
181 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
182 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
183 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
186 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
187 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
189 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
190 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
191 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
193 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
195 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
196 substr et al, again. (sorear)
198 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
200 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
203 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
204 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
206 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
207 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
209 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
210 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
211 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
212 dependencies installed.
214 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
215 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
218 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
220 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
224 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
227 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
228 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
231 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
232 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
234 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
235 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
238 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
239 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
240 others. (nothingmuch)
242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
243 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
244 remove_accessors. (doy)
246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
247 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
248 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
251 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
253 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
255 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
256 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
259 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
260 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
263 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
265 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
267 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
268 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
271 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
272 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
273 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
274 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
275 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
277 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
280 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
281 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
282 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
283 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
286 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
287 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
288 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
289 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
290 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
292 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
293 which were not receiving the value of
294 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
295 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
296 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
297 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
301 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
302 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
303 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
304 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
305 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
309 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
310 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
311 - added tests for this (Stevan)
314 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
315 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
316 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
319 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
321 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
324 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
325 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
328 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
329 class if you pass it options for
330 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
331 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
332 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
333 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
334 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
335 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
336 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
337 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
338 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
340 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
341 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
342 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
343 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
344 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
347 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
349 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
350 existing delegation API. (hdp)
352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
353 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
354 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
355 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
356 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
357 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
360 * Moose::Error::Croak
361 * Moose::Error::Confess
362 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
363 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
366 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
369 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
370 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
371 installing a broken sub. (doy)
374 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
377 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
378 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
379 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
381 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
382 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
383 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
384 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
385 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
388 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
391 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
393 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
394 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
397 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
398 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
402 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
403 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
406 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
407 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
408 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
409 using it for new code!
411 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
412 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
413 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
414 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
416 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
417 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
418 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
419 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
420 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
421 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
422 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
423 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
426 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
429 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
430 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
434 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
437 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
438 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
442 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
443 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
446 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
447 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
450 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
451 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
454 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
456 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
457 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
458 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
459 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
461 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
463 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
467 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
468 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
470 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
471 associated_methods. (hdp)
472 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
473 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
474 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
475 misspelled) arguments
477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
478 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
479 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
480 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
484 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
486 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
490 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
491 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
494 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
495 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
497 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
499 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
500 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
502 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
503 * Moose::Manual::Types
504 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
505 string parsing rathole (mst)
507 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
508 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
509 using plain objects instead
511 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
512 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
515 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
517 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
518 three times today (perigrin)
519 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
520 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
523 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
524 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
525 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
528 - A role's required methods are now represented by
529 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
530 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
531 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
532 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
533 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
536 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
537 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
538 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
539 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
542 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
544 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
547 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
549 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
552 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
553 during global destruction. This method has been made more
554 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
558 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
559 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
562 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
563 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
565 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
566 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
567 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
570 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
572 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
573 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
576 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
580 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
581 methods during global destruction (doy)
584 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
585 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
589 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
590 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
593 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
594 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
597 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
598 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
600 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
602 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
606 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
607 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
608 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
611 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
612 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
613 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
616 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
618 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
619 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
620 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
623 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
624 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
625 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
626 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
628 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
629 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
630 of the Moose core (Sartak)
633 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
636 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
637 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
638 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
642 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
643 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
646 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
648 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
651 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
652 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
655 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
656 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
659 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
660 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
663 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
666 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
669 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
673 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
676 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
679 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
680 * More deprecations and renamings
681 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
682 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
683 when an object is constructed)
686 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
687 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
688 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
691 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
692 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
693 feature, and it works again.
696 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
698 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
700 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
701 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
702 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
705 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
706 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
707 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
708 message. Test provided by perigrin.
710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
711 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
712 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
713 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
714 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
717 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
718 metaclass object. (hdp)
720 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
721 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
722 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
723 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
724 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
725 point out this fact. (hdp)
727 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
728 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
730 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
731 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
734 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
735 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
736 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
737 called during instance construction were passed the
738 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
739 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
741 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
742 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
745 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
746 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
747 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
750 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
751 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
752 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
753 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
754 them, but they are not for "public" use.
757 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
759 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
760 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
761 when an object is constructed)
762 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
764 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
765 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
766 when an object is constructed)
767 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
768 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
769 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
772 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
774 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
775 * No changes from 0.72_01.
777 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
779 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
780 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
781 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
784 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
785 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
787 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
789 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
790 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
792 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
793 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
796 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
797 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
800 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
801 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
802 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
805 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
809 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
810 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
811 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
814 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
817 * Moose::Manual::Delta
818 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
819 with recommended workarounds.
821 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
822 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
825 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
826 (yes, spelled like that).
828 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
829 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
832 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
833 changes in latest Class::MOP.
835 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
838 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
839 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
840 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
841 instead. Reported by doy.
843 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
845 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
846 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
849 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
850 message) is now deprecated.
851 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
852 often got it wrong. For example:
854 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
856 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
860 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
861 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
862 bite you in weird cases.
864 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
865 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
866 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
869 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
870 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
874 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
877 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
878 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
881 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
882 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
885 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
888 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
890 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
891 - added tests for this (stevan)
893 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
894 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
895 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
896 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
900 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
901 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
902 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
903 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
905 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
906 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
907 - added tests for this (rafl)
909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
910 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
911 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
912 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
916 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
917 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
920 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
921 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
922 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
924 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
926 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
927 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
930 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
931 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
932 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
933 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
936 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
937 error message did not specify the attribute name
940 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
942 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
944 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
945 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
946 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
948 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
949 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
952 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
954 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
955 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
956 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
957 of fixes and formatting improvements.
959 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
961 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
962 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
963 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
964 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
967 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
968 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
971 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
972 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
973 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
974 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
977 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
978 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
979 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
980 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
983 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
984 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
985 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
986 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
987 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
989 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
990 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
991 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
992 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
993 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
994 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
997 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
999 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1000 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1001 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1002 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1005 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1008 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1012 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1013 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1016 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1017 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1018 guts. (nothingmuch).
1020 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1022 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1025 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1026 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1027 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1029 * Moose::Meta::Class
1030 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1033 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1034 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1037 * Moose::Unsweetened
1038 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1041 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1042 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1043 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1044 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1045 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1046 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1049 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1050 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1051 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1052 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1053 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1054 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1055 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1056 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1057 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1061 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1062 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1065 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1066 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1067 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1069 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1070 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1071 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1072 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1073 same methods for a single role did not work
1074 right (worked just fine with multiple
1076 - added test for this (stevan)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1079 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1080 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1083 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1084 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1085 - added test for this (t0m)
1088 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1089 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1090 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1093 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1094 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1095 - added test for this (t0m)
1097 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1098 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1099 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1100 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1101 - added test for this (perigrin)
1104 - create method for constructing a role
1105 dynamically (Sartak)
1106 - added test for this (Sartak)
1107 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1108 - added test for this (Sartak)
1111 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1113 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1114 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1115 methods is useful (Sartak)
1117 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1119 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1124 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1125 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1126 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1127 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1131 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1132 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1136 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1137 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1138 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1142 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1143 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1147 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1148 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1149 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1150 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1151 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1152 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1156 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1157 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1158 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1159 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1160 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1161 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1162 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1163 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1164 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1165 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1168 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1171 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1172 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1173 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1174 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1175 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1177 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1179 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1180 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1181 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1184 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1187 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1188 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1189 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1192 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1193 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1195 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1197 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1198 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1202 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1203 a required attribute
1205 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1207 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1208 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1211 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1214 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1215 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1216 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1217 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1218 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1219 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1220 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1223 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1224 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1226 * Roles and role application
1227 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1228 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1229 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1230 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1231 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1233 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1234 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1237 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1238 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1239 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1240 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1241 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1244 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1245 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1246 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1247 changes in the Moose internals.
1249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1255 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1256 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1257 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1260 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1261 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1262 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1265 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1266 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1267 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1268 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1269 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1270 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1271 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1272 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1273 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1274 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1275 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1276 constraint implementations.
1278 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1282 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1283 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1284 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1285 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1286 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1287 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1288 - added tests for this (rafl)
1290 * Moose::Meta::Class
1291 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1292 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1293 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1294 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1295 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1296 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1297 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1298 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1301 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1302 - added tests for this (thepler)
1304 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1305 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1306 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1307 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1310 * Moose::Meta::Class
1311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1312 * Moose::Meta::Method
1315 * Moose::Error::Default
1316 * Moose::Error::Croak
1317 * Moose::Error::Confess
1318 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1319 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1320 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1321 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1322 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1323 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1325 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1327 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1328 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1330 * Moose::Unsweetened
1331 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1332 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1333 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1336 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1337 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1338 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1339 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1342 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1343 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1345 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1346 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1347 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1348 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1351 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1353 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1354 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1356 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1359 - Various bug fixes.
1361 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1362 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1364 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1366 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1367 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

1397 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1398 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1399 - added docs & test for this (t0m)

1522 ... this is not my day today ...
1524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1525 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1526 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1527 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1528 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1531 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1532 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1533 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1538 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1540 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1541 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1573 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1574 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1575 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1576 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1577 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1578 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1579 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1580 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 - added tests for this
1583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1584 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2060 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2061 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2062 method in the first place ;)
2064 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2065 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2066 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2068 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2069 - (see the POD for details)
2071 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2072 - this release contains a major reworking and
2073 cleanup of the role system
2074 - 100% backwards compat.
2075 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2076 classes based on type of applicants
2077 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2078 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2079 used in this process
2080 - new Composite role metaclass
2081 - runtime application of roles to instances
2082 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2083 classes when applicable
2085 * <<New Role composition features>>
2086 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2088 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2089 still retain the original as well)

2092 - added this module (see above)
2094 * Moose::Meta::Class
2095 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called

2105 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2106 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2107 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2113 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2116 - added this module to support the refactor
2117 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2120 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2121 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2125 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2127 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2128 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2129 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2131 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2151 - added tests for this
2153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2154 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need

2164 having to do it all in one place
2165 - added tests for this
2167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2168 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2169 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2172 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2173 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2174 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2175 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2179 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2181 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2183 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2184 - added tests for this.
2185 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2186 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2187 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2188 - added tests for this
2189 - added docs for this
2191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2192 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2193 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2194 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2195 instead it will just return undef.

2210 with work correctly.
2211 - added tests for this
2214 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2215 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2218 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2219 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2220 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

2254 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2257 - fixed how required methods are handled
2258 when they encounter overriden or modified
2259 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2260 - added tests for this
2262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2263 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2264 the | always creates a union and so is
2265 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2266 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2268 - added more tests for this
2270 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2273 * Parameterized Types
2274 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2275 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2276 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2277 They can also be nested:
2278 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2279 And work with the type unions as well:
2280 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2282 * Better Framework Extendability
2283 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2284 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2285 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2286 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2289 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2290 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2291 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2292 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2295 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2297 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2298 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2301 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2332 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2333 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2334 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2336 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2337 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2341 +++ with new features added as well +++
2343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2347 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2349 - added tests for this
2351 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2357 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2358 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2360 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2361 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2362 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2363 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2377 (thanks to shlomif).
2379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2380 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2381 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2430 (but not changing the handles option)
2431 - added tests and docs for this
2434 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2435 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2449 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2450 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2451 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2452 prototypes for functions
2453 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2454 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2464 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2467 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2468 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2469 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2470 - added tests for this
2472 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2474 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2496 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2498 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2499 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2500 so this release is just to fix that.
2503 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2504 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2505 (thanks to konobi for this)

2516 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2517 functions to facilitate introspection.
2519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2520 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2521 to build the list of delegated methods
2522 correctly (and not override important
2523 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2525 - added tests and docs for this
2526 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2527 so that you can actually document your
2528 attributes and inspect them through the
2530 - added tests and docs for this
2532 * Moose::Meta::Class
2533 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2534 it will first look in for the class in the
2535 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2536 then default to just loading $name.
2537 - added tests and docs for this
2539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2540 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2541 - added test for this
2544 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2545 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2546 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2547 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2549 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2550 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2553 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2555 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2556 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2557 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2560 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2561 !! for this developer release to work !!
2563 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2564 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2565 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2566 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2567 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2568 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2569 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2570 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2571 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2572 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2573 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2575 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2576 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2577 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2578 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2581 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2583 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2584 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2585 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2587 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2589 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2590 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2593 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2594 called unless they actually need to be.
2595 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2596 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2597 DEMOLISH method present.
2599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2601 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2602 type constraint, which allows for a
2603 hand optimized version of the type
2604 constraint to be used when possible.
2605 - Any internally created type constraints
2606 now provide an optimized version as well.
2608 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2610 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2611 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2612 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2615 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2616 your class namespace of these exported
2619 * Moose::Meta::Class
2620 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2621 comes up during global destruction
2623 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2627 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2631 - changed how we do type checks so that
2632 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2635 - moved accessor generation methods to
2636 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2637 conform to the API changes from
2640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2641 - changed how constraints are compiled
2642 so that we do less recursion and more
2643 iteration. This makes the type check
2645 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2648 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2649 - created this from methods formerly found in
2650 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2652 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2653 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2656 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2659 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2661 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2664 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2665 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2666 - added tests for this
2667 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2668 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2669 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2670 - removed tests for this
2672 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2674 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2675 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2676 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2679 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2680 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2681 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2683 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2684 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2685 comments for more info.
2688 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2689 asked questions and common problems
2691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2692 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2693 - added tests for this
2695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2696 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2697 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2698 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2700 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2701 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2704 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2705 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2706 is much appreciated :)
2707 - added tests for this
2709 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2710 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2711 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2715 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2717 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2719 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2720 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2724 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2725 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2726 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2728 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2730 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2733 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2734 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2735 keywords because we need to localize them.
2736 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2738 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2739 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2740 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2743 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2747 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2748 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2751 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2752 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2753 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2755 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2757 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2758 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2759 bottom of your class file.
2762 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2765 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2767 - improved error message when loading modules so
2768 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2769 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2770 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2773 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2774 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2775 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2778 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2780 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2781 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2782 turn them on for you.
2783 - added tests for this
2784 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2785 in Moose::Meta::Class
2788 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2789 automatically turned on for you.

2811 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2812 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2813 - This release works in combination with
2814 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2815 release because it uses the a new
2816 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2817 complete Role implementation. It has
2818 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2819 the the previous CPAN version. This
2820 release also lacks good updated docs,
2821 the official release will have updated docs.
2824 - refactored the keyword exports
2825 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2826 accepts more than one Role at a time
2827 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2828 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2831 - refactored the keyword exports
2832 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2833 accepts more than one Role at a time
2835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2836 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2837 string enumerations which can be used as
2839 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2842 - more careful checking of params to new()
2845 - much work done on the role composition
2846 - many new tests for conflict detection
2847 and composition edge cases
2848 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2849 looking at the tests
2851 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2852 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2853 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2855 * Moose::Meta::Class
2856 - some small changes to support the new
2858 - some small additions to support Roles
2860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2861 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2863 - some small changes to support the new
2865 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2866 with the 'handles' option
2867 - added several tests for this
2868 - no docs for this yet

2872 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2873 thanks to chansen for this commit
2874 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2875 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2876 on a per-attribute basis
2877 - added tests for this

2879 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2880 experimental feature and probably not finished
