1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has no
7 associated methods, it will give a deprecation warning. (hdp)
8 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
9 associated_methods. (hdp)
10 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate, clearer) now
11 warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
13 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
14 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
15 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
16 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
18 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
19 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
20 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
22 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me (perigrin)
24 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
25 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
26 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
28 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
30 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
31 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
33 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
34 * Moose::Manual::Types
35 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
36 string parsing rathole (mst)
38 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
39 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
40 using plain objects instead
43 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
48 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
49 three times today (perigrin)
50 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
51 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
53 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
54 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
55 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
56 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
59 - A role's required methods are now represented by
60 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
61 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
62 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
63 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
64 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
67 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
68 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
69 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
70 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
73 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
75 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
78 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
80 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
83 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
84 during global destruction. This method has been made more
85 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
89 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
90 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
93 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
94 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
96 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
97 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
98 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
101 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
103 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
104 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
107 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
111 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
112 methods during global destruction (doy)
115 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
116 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
120 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
121 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
124 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
125 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
128 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
129 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
131 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
133 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
137 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
138 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
139 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
142 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
143 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
144 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
147 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
149 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
151 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
155 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
156 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
157 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
159 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
160 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
161 of the Moose core (Sartak)
164 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
167 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
169 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
173 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
174 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
177 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
179 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
182 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
183 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
186 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
187 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
190 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
191 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
194 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
197 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
200 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
204 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
207 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
210 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
211 * More deprecations and renamings
212 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
213 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
214 when an object is constructed)
217 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
218 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
219 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
222 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
223 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
224 feature, and it works again.
227 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
229 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
231 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
232 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
233 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
236 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
237 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
238 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
239 message. Test provided by perigrin.
241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
242 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
243 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
244 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
245 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
248 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
249 metaclass object. (hdp)
251 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
252 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
253 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
254 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
255 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
256 point out this fact. (hdp)
258 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
259 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
261 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
262 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
266 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
267 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
268 called during instance construction were passed the
269 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
270 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
272 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
273 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
276 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
277 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
278 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
281 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
282 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
283 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
284 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
285 them, but they are not for "public" use.
288 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
290 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
291 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
292 when an object is constructed)
293 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
295 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
296 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
297 when an object is constructed)
298 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
299 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
300 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
303 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
305 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
306 * No changes from 0.72_01.
308 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
310 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
311 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
312 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
315 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
316 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
318 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
320 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
321 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
323 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
324 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
327 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
328 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
331 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
332 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
333 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
336 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
340 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
341 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
342 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
344 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
345 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
348 * Moose::Manual::Delta
349 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
350 with recommended workarounds.
352 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
353 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
355 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
356 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
357 (yes, spelled like that).
359 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
360 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
363 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
364 changes in latest Class::MOP.
366 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
369 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
370 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
371 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
372 instead. Reported by doy.
374 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
376 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
377 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
379 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
380 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
381 message) is now deprecated.
382 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
383 often got it wrong. For example:
385 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
387 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
391 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
392 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
393 bite you in weird cases.
395 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
396 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
397 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
400 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
401 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
405 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
408 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
409 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
412 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
413 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
416 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
419 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
421 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
422 - added tests for this (stevan)
424 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
425 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
426 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
427 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
431 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
432 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
433 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
434 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
436 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
437 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
438 - added tests for this (rafl)
440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
441 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
442 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
443 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
447 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
448 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
451 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
452 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
453 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
455 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
457 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
458 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
461 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
462 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
463 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
464 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
467 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
468 error message did not specify the attribute name
471 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
473 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
475 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
476 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
477 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
479 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
480 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
483 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
485 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
486 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
487 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
488 of fixes and formatting improvements.
490 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
492 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
493 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
494 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
495 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
498 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
499 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
502 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
503 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
504 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
505 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
508 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
509 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
510 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
511 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
514 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
515 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
516 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
517 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
518 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
520 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
521 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
522 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
523 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
524 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
525 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
528 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
530 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
531 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
532 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
533 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
536 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
539 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
543 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
544 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
546 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
547 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
548 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
551 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
553 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
556 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
557 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
558 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
561 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
564 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
565 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
567 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
569 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
572 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
573 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
574 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
575 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
576 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
577 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
580 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
581 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
582 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
583 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
584 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
585 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
586 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
587 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
588 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
590 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
592 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
593 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
596 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
597 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
598 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
600 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
602 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
603 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
604 same methods for a single role did not work
605 right (worked just fine with multiple
607 - added test for this (stevan)
609 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
610 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
611 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
614 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
615 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
616 - added test for this (t0m)
619 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
620 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
621 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
624 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
625 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
626 - added test for this (t0m)
628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
629 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
630 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
631 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
632 - added test for this (perigrin)
635 - create method for constructing a role
637 - added test for this (Sartak)
638 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
639 - added test for this (Sartak)
642 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
644 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
645 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
646 methods is useful (Sartak)
648 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
650 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
654 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
655 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
656 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
657 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
658 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
659 - added tests for this (jdv79)
662 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
663 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
666 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
667 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
668 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
669 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
671 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
673 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
674 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
675 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
678 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
679 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
680 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
681 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
682 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
683 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
686 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
687 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
688 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
689 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
690 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
691 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
692 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
693 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
694 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
695 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
696 future. (jnapiorkowski)
698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
699 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
702 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
703 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
704 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
705 type. (jnapiorkowski)
706 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
708 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
710 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
711 predicate, and link to more details sections in
712 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
714 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
715 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
718 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
719 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
720 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
723 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
724 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
726 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
728 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
729 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
732 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
733 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
737 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
738 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
739 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
741 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
742 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
744 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
745 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
746 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
747 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
748 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
749 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
750 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
751 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
753 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
754 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
755 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
757 * Roles and role application
758 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
759 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
760 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
761 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
762 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
764 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
765 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
768 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
769 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
770 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
771 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
772 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
775 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
776 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
777 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
778 changes in the Moose internals.
780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
782 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
786 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
787 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
788 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
790 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
791 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
792 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
793 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
796 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
797 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
798 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
799 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
800 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
801 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
802 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
803 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
804 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
805 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
806 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
807 constraint implementations.
809 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
813 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
814 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
815 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
816 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
817 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
818 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
819 - added tests for this (rafl)
822 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
823 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
824 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
825 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
826 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
827 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
828 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
829 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
832 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
833 - added tests for this (thepler)
835 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
836 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
837 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
838 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
843 * Moose::Meta::Method
846 * Moose::Error::Default
847 * Moose::Error::Croak
848 * Moose::Error::Confess
849 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
850 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
851 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
852 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
853 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
854 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
856 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
858 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
859 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
862 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
863 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
864 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
867 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
868 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
869 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
870 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
873 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
874 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
876 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
877 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
878 several major changes in this release of Moose.
879 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
882 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
884 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
885 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
887 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
892 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
893 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

897 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
898 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
899 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
900 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
901 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
902 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
904 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
905 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
906 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
908 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
909 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
910 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
913 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
914 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
915 dependency to 0.64_07.
917 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
918 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
919 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
922 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
926 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
927 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
928 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
929 coincidental exception. (t0m).
930 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
932 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
933 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
935 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
937 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
938 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
942 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
943 method when that method was provided by another role being
944 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
945 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
947 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
949 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
950 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
953 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
954 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
955 - added test for this (t0m)
957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
958 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
959 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
961 - added test for this (t0m)
964 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
965 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
966 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
969 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
970 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
972 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
974 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
977 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
978 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
979 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
981 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
982 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
985 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
986 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
987 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
988 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
992 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
993 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
994 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
997 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
998 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
999 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1000 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1003 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1007 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1008 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1009 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1011 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1012 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1013 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

1022 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1023 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1026 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1027 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1029 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1030 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1031 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1049 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1050 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1052 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1053 ... this is not my day today ...
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1056 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1057 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1058 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1059 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1062 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1063 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1064 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1065 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1066 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1069 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1071 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1072 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1073 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1074 this is not ever something you want to do
1075 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1076 - added tests for this (stevan)
1079 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1081 - added test for this

1090 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1092 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1093 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1094 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1097 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1099 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1101 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1104 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1105 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1106 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1107 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1108 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1109 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1110 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1111 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1112 - added tests for this
1114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1115 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1116 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1117 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1119 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1134 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1135 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1136 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1138 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1140 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1150 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1152 - added docs for this (TODO).
1153 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1154 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1155 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1182 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1184 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1185 (early morning release engineering)--
1187 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1188 which was causing the indexer to choke
1190 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1191 (late night release engineering)--
1193 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1194 changes in this release
1196 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1197 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1198 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1202 since it is called so often by &meta
1204 * Moose::Meta::Class
1206 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1207 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1211 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1212 method for immutablization to check if the
1213 destructor object even needs to be created
1216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1217 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1218 - added more descriptive error message to help
1219 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1220 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1222 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1224 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1225 XS based functionality is now optional
1226 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1227 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1228 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1230 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1231 to take care of this, mostly we added
1232 support for the package_name and name
1233 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1234 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1235 support regexp matching of names
1236 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1237 - tests added for this
1238 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1239 is currently not supported in roles,
1240 but, ... patches welcome
1241 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1242 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1243 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1246 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1247 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1248 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1249 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1250 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1251 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1252 - added test for this
1254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1255 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1256 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1259 * Moose::Meta::Class
1260 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1264 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1266 - added tests for this
1267 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1268 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1270 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1271 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1272 themselves parameterizable types
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1275 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1276 called by the inlined immutable
1278 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1280 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1281 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1282 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1283 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1285 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1286 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1290 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1291 causing occasional cpantester failures
1292 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1293 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1295 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1297 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1298 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1301 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1302 ->body when looping through the
1303 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1305 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1306 eating the $@ values, and so not
1307 working correctly, it still kind of
1308 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1309 - added tests for this
1311 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1312 - added new recipe for immutable
1313 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1315 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1319 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1320 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1321 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1324 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1326 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1327 since Module::Install has done that.
1329 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1331 drink more coffee before
1332 doing release engineering
1334 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1335 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1336 modules. This fixes that.
1338 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1339 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1340 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1342 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1343 since we have tests which need the C3
1346 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1347 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1349 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1350 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1352 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1353 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1354 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1355 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1361 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1362 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

1366 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1368 - added test for this
1370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1371 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1372 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1373 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1374 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1375 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

1386 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1387 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
1388 - added tests for this (Sartak)
1389 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
1390 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1392 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
1393 to allow introspection of traits
1394 - added tests for this
1395 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
1397 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
1398 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)
1399 - added tests for this (t0m)

1403 eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
1404 - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)
1406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1449 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1451 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1452 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1495 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1496 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1742 - added tests for this
1745 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1746 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1789 when they encounter overriden or modified
1790 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1791 - added tests for this
1793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1801 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1804 * Parameterized Types
1805 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1806 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1807 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1808 They can also be nested:
1809 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1810 And work with the type unions as well:
1811 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1813 * Better Framework Extendability
1814 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1815 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1816 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1817 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1820 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1821 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1822 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1823 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2077 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2078 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2080 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2081 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2084 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2086 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2087 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2088 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2091 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2092 !! for this developer release to work !!
2094 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2095 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2096 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2097 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2098 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2099 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2100 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2101 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2102 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2103 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2104 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2106 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2107 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2108 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2109 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2112 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2114 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2115 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2116 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2118 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2120 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2121 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2124 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2125 called unless they actually need to be.
2126 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2127 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2128 DEMOLISH method present.
2130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2132 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2133 type constraint, which allows for a
2134 hand optimized version of the type
2135 constraint to be used when possible.
2136 - Any internally created type constraints
2137 now provide an optimized version as well.
2139 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2141 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2142 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2143 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2146 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2147 your class namespace of these exported
2150 * Moose::Meta::Class
2151 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2152 comes up during global destruction
2154 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2158 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2162 - changed how we do type checks so that
2163 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2166 - moved accessor generation methods to
2167 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2168 conform to the API changes from
2171 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2172 - changed how constraints are compiled
2173 so that we do less recursion and more
2174 iteration. This makes the type check
2176 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2180 - created this from methods formerly found in
2181 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2183 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2184 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2187 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2190 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2192 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2195 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2196 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2197 - added tests for this
2198 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2199 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2200 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2201 - removed tests for this
2203 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2205 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2206 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2207 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2210 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2211 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2212 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2214 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2215 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2216 comments for more info.
2219 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2220 asked questions and common problems
2222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2223 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2224 - added tests for this
2226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2227 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2228 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2229 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2231 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2232 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2235 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2236 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2237 is much appreciated :)
2238 - added tests for this
2240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2241 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2242 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2246 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2248 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2250 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2251 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2255 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2256 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2257 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2259 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2261 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2264 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2265 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2266 keywords because we need to localize them.
2267 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2269 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2270 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2271 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2274 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2277 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2278 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2279 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2282 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2283 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2284 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2286 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2288 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2289 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2290 bottom of your class file.
2293 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2296 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2298 - improved error message when loading modules so
2299 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2300 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2301 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2304 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2305 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2306 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2308 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2309 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2311 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2312 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2313 turn them on for you.
2314 - added tests for this
2315 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2316 in Moose::Meta::Class
2319 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2320 automatically turned on for you.

2339 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2342 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2343 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2344 - This release works in combination with
2345 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2346 release because it uses the a new
2347 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2348 complete Role implementation. It has
2349 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2350 the the previous CPAN version. This
2351 release also lacks good updated docs,
2352 the official release will have updated docs.
2355 - refactored the keyword exports
2356 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2357 accepts more than one Role at a time
2358 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2359 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2362 - refactored the keyword exports
2363 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2364 accepts more than one Role at a time
2366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2367 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2368 string enumerations which can be used as
2370 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2373 - more careful checking of params to new()
2376 - much work done on the role composition
2377 - many new tests for conflict detection
2378 and composition edge cases
2379 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2380 looking at the tests
2382 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2383 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2384 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2386 * Moose::Meta::Class
2387 - some small changes to support the new
2389 - some small additions to support Roles
2391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2392 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2394 - some small changes to support the new
2396 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2397 with the 'handles' option
2398 - added several tests for this
2399 - no docs for this yet
2401 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2403 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2404 thanks to chansen for this commit
2405 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2406 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2407 on a per-attribute basis
2408 - added tests for this
2409 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2410 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2411 experimental feature and probably not finished

2413 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2414 - added tests for this

2429 construct_instance (for the better)
2431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2476 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2478 - added test for this
2481 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2482 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
