1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
7 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
13 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
17 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
18 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
20 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
21 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
22 - Moose::Util::does_role
23 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
24 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
25 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
27 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
31 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
32 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
33 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
36 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
40 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
41 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
44 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
48 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
49 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
52 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
56 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
58 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
61 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
62 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
63 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
65 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
66 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
67 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
70 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
71 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
73 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
74 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
75 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
77 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
79 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
80 substr et al, again. (sorear)
82 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
84 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
87 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
88 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
90 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
91 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
93 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
94 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
95 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
96 dependencies installed.
98 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
99 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
102 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
104 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
108 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
111 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
112 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
115 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
116 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
118 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
119 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
122 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
123 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
124 others. (nothingmuch)
126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
127 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
128 remove_accessors. (doy)
130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
131 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
132 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
135 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
137 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
139 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
140 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
143 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
144 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
147 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
149 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
151 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
152 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
156 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
157 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
158 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
159 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
161 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
164 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
165 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
166 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
167 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
170 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
171 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
172 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
173 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
174 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
176 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
177 which were not receiving the value of
178 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
179 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
180 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
181 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
185 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
186 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
187 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
188 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
189 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
193 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
194 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
195 - added tests for this (Stevan)
198 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
199 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
200 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
203 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
205 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
208 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
209 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
212 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
213 class if you pass it options for
214 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
215 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
216 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
217 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
218 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
219 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
220 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
221 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
222 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
224 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
225 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
226 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
227 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
228 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
231 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
233 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
234 existing delegation API. (hdp)
236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
237 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
238 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
239 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
240 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
241 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
244 * Moose::Error::Croak
245 * Moose::Error::Confess
246 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
247 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
250 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
253 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
254 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
255 installing a broken sub. (doy)
258 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
261 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
262 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
263 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
265 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
266 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
267 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
268 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
269 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
272 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
275 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
277 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
278 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
281 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
282 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
286 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
287 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
290 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
291 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
292 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
293 using it for new code!
295 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
296 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
297 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
298 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
300 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
301 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
302 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
303 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
304 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
305 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
306 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
307 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
310 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
313 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
314 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
317 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
318 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
321 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
322 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
326 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
327 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
330 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
331 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
334 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
335 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
338 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
340 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
341 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
342 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
343 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
345 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
347 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
351 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
352 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
354 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
355 associated_methods. (hdp)
356 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
357 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
358 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
359 misspelled) arguments
361 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
362 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
363 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
364 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
368 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
370 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
374 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
375 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
378 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
379 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
381 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
383 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
384 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
386 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
387 * Moose::Manual::Types
388 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
389 string parsing rathole (mst)
391 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
392 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
393 using plain objects instead
395 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
396 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
399 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
401 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
402 three times today (perigrin)
403 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
404 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
407 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
408 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
409 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
412 - A role's required methods are now represented by
413 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
414 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
415 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
416 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
417 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
420 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
421 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
422 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
423 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
426 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
428 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
431 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
433 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
436 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
437 during global destruction. This method has been made more
438 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
442 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
443 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
446 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
447 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
449 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
450 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
451 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
454 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
456 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
457 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
460 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
464 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
465 methods during global destruction (doy)
468 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
469 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
473 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
474 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
477 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
478 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
481 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
482 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
484 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
486 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
490 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
491 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
492 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
495 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
496 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
497 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
500 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
502 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
504 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
507 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
508 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
509 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
510 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
512 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
513 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
514 of the Moose core (Sartak)
517 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
520 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
521 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
522 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
526 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
527 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
530 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
532 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
535 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
536 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
539 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
540 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
543 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
544 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
547 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
550 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
553 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
557 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
559 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
560 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
563 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
564 * More deprecations and renamings
565 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
566 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
567 when an object is constructed)
570 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
571 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
572 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
575 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
576 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
577 feature, and it works again.
580 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
582 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
584 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
585 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
586 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
589 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
590 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
591 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
592 message. Test provided by perigrin.
594 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
595 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
596 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
597 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
598 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
601 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
602 metaclass object. (hdp)
604 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
605 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
606 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
607 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
608 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
609 point out this fact. (hdp)
611 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
612 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
614 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
615 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
619 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
620 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
621 called during instance construction were passed the
622 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
623 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
625 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
626 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
629 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
630 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
631 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
634 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
635 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
636 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
637 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
638 them, but they are not for "public" use.
641 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
643 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
644 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
645 when an object is constructed)
646 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
648 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
649 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
650 when an object is constructed)
651 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
652 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
653 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
656 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
658 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
659 * No changes from 0.72_01.
661 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
663 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
664 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
665 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
667 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
668 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
669 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
671 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
673 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
674 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
676 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
677 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
680 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
681 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
684 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
685 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
686 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
688 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
689 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
693 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
694 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
695 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
698 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
701 * Moose::Manual::Delta
702 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
703 with recommended workarounds.
705 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
706 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
709 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
710 (yes, spelled like that).
712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
713 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
716 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
717 changes in latest Class::MOP.
719 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
722 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
723 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
724 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
725 instead. Reported by doy.
727 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
729 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
730 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
733 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
734 message) is now deprecated.
735 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
736 often got it wrong. For example:
738 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
740 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
744 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
745 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
746 bite you in weird cases.
748 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
749 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
750 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
753 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
754 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
758 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
761 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
762 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
765 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
766 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
769 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
772 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
774 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
775 - added tests for this (stevan)
777 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
778 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
779 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
780 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
784 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
785 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
786 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
787 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
789 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
790 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
791 - added tests for this (rafl)
793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
794 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
795 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
796 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
800 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
801 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
804 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
805 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
806 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
808 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
810 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
811 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
814 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
815 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
816 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
817 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
820 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
821 error message did not specify the attribute name
824 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
826 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
828 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
829 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
830 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
832 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
833 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
836 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
838 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
839 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
840 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
841 of fixes and formatting improvements.
843 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
845 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
846 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
847 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
848 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
851 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
852 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
855 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
856 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
857 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
858 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
861 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
862 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
863 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
864 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
867 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
868 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
869 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
870 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
871 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
873 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
874 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
875 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
876 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
877 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
878 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
880 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
881 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
883 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
884 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
885 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
886 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
888 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
889 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
892 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
896 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
897 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
899 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
900 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
901 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
904 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
905 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
906 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
909 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
910 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
911 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
914 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
917 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
918 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
920 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
922 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
925 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
926 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
927 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
928 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
929 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
930 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
932 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
933 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
934 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
935 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
936 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
937 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
938 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
939 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
940 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
941 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
943 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
945 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
946 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
948 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
949 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
950 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
951 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
953 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
954 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
955 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
956 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
957 same methods for a single role did not work
958 right (worked just fine with multiple
960 - added test for this (stevan)
962 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
963 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
964 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
967 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
968 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
969 - added test for this (t0m)
972 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
973 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
974 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
977 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
978 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
979 - added test for this (t0m)
981 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
982 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
983 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
984 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
985 - added test for this (perigrin)
988 - create method for constructing a role
990 - added test for this (Sartak)
991 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
992 - added test for this (Sartak)
995 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
997 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
998 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
999 methods is useful (Sartak)
1001 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1003 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1006 * Moose::Meta::Class
1007 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1008 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1009 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1010 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1011 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1015 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1016 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1019 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1020 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1021 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1022 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1026 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1027 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1031 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1032 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1033 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1034 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1035 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1036 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1039 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1040 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1041 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1042 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1043 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1044 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1045 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1046 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1047 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1048 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1049 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1051 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1052 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1056 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1057 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1058 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1059 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1061 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1063 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1064 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1065 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1068 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1071 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1072 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1073 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1076 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1077 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1079 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1081 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1082 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1084 * Moose::Meta::Class
1085 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1086 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1087 a required attribute
1089 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1090 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1091 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1092 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1095 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1098 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1099 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1100 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1101 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1102 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1103 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1104 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1107 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1108 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1110 * Roles and role application
1111 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1112 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1113 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1114 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1115 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1117 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1118 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1121 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1122 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1123 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1124 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1125 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1128 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1129 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1130 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1131 changes in the Moose internals.
1133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1135 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1139 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1140 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1141 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1143 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1144 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1145 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1146 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1149 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1150 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1151 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1152 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1153 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1154 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1155 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1156 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1157 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1158 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1159 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1160 constraint implementations.
1162 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1166 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1167 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1168 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1169 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1170 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1171 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 - added tests for this (rafl)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Class
1175 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1176 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1177 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1178 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1179 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1180 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1181 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1185 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1186 - added tests for this (thepler)
1188 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1189 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1190 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1191 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1194 * Moose::Meta::Class
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 * Moose::Meta::Method
1199 * Moose::Error::Default
1200 * Moose::Error::Croak
1201 * Moose::Error::Confess
1202 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1203 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1204 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1205 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1206 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1207 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1209 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1211 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1212 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 * Moose::Unsweetened
1215 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1216 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1217 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1220 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1221 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1222 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1223 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1226 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1227 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1229 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1230 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1231 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1232 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1235 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1237 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1238 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1240 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1243 - Various bug fixes.
1245 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1246 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1248 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1250 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1251 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1252 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1253 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1254 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1255 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1257 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1258 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1259 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1262 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1263 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1266 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1267 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1268 dependency to 0.64_07.
1270 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1271 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1272 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1275 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1279 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1280 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1281 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1282 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1283 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1286 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1288 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1291 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1295 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1296 method when that method was provided by another role being
1297 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1298 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1300 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1302 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1303 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1306 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1307 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1308 - added test for this (t0m)
1310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1311 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1312 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1314 - added test for this (t0m)
1317 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1318 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1319 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1323 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1325 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1327 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1328 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1330 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1331 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1332 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1335 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1340 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1341 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1345 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1346 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1347 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you

1405 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1406 ... this is not my day today ...
1408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1409 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1410 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1411 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1412 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1415 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1416 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1417 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1418 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1419 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1422 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1424 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1425 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1457 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1458 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1459 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1460 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1461 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1462 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1463 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1464 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1465 - added tests for this
1467 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1578 XS based functionality is now optional
1579 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2045 - added tests for this
2046 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2047 a single type at different times instead of
2048 having to do it all in one place
2049 - added tests for this
2051 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2052 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2053 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2056 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2057 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2058 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2059 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2060 new features above (although you cannot add
2061 more type coercions for Union types)
2063 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2065 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2066 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2067 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2068 - added tests for this.
2069 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2070 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2071 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2072 - added tests for this
2073 - added docs for this
2075 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2076 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2077 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2078 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2079 instead it will just return undef.
2080 - added docs for this
2082 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
2083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2084 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

2093 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2094 with work correctly.
2095 - added tests for this
2098 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2099 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2102 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2103 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2104 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2106 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2115 builder method is missing (groditi)
2117 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2118 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2120 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2137 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2138 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2141 - fixed how required methods are handled
2142 when they encounter overriden or modified
2143 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2144 - added tests for this
2146 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2147 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2148 the | always creates a union and so is
2149 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2150 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2152 - added more tests for this
2154 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2157 * Parameterized Types
2158 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2159 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2160 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2161 They can also be nested:
2162 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2163 And work with the type unions as well:
2164 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2166 * Better Framework Extendability
2167 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2168 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2169 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2170 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2173 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2174 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2175 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2176 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2179 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2181 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2182 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2185 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2212 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2213 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2215 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2216 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2217 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2218 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2220 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2221 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2222 - updated the accompanying test as well
2224 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2225 +++ with new features added as well +++
2227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2231 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2233 - added tests for this
2235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2241 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2242 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2244 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2245 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2246 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2247 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2261 (thanks to shlomif).
2263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2264 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2265 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2266 - added tests for this
2267 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2269 - added tests for this
2271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2299 - added tests for these
2302 - This contains Moose specific test functions
2303 - added tests for these
2305 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2306 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2308 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2309 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2310 to the 'handles' option.
2311 - added tests and docs for this

2314 (but not changing the handles option)
2315 - added tests and docs for this
2318 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2319 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2320 - adjusted tests for this
2322 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2324 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2330 the other side (perigrin)
2332 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2334 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2335 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2336 prototypes for functions
2337 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2338 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2348 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2351 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2352 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2353 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2354 - added tests for this
2356 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2358 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2359 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

2371 where not handled correctly in roles
2372 - added tests for this
2374 * Moose::Meta::Class
2375 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2376 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2377 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2379 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2380 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2382 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2383 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2384 so this release is just to fix that.
2387 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2388 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2389 (thanks to konobi for this)
2390 - added tests and docs
2392 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2393 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2396 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2397 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2398 - added tests for this
2399 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2400 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2401 functions to facilitate introspection.
2403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2404 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2405 to build the list of delegated methods
2406 correctly (and not override important
2407 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2409 - added tests and docs for this
2410 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2411 so that you can actually document your
2412 attributes and inspect them through the
2414 - added tests and docs for this
2416 * Moose::Meta::Class
2417 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2418 it will first look in for the class in the
2419 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2420 then default to just loading $name.
2421 - added tests and docs for this
2423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2424 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2425 - added test for this
2428 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2429 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2430 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2431 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2433 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2434 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2437 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2439 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2440 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2441 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2444 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2445 !! for this developer release to work !!
2447 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2448 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2449 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2450 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2451 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2452 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2453 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2454 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2455 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2456 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2457 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2459 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2460 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2461 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2462 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2465 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2467 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2468 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2469 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2471 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2473 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2474 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2477 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2478 called unless they actually need to be.
2479 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2480 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2481 DEMOLISH method present.
2483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2485 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2486 type constraint, which allows for a
2487 hand optimized version of the type
2488 constraint to be used when possible.
2489 - Any internally created type constraints
2490 now provide an optimized version as well.
2492 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2494 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2495 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2496 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2499 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2500 your class namespace of these exported
2503 * Moose::Meta::Class
2504 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2505 comes up during global destruction
2507 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2511 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2514 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2515 - changed how we do type checks so that
2516 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2519 - moved accessor generation methods to
2520 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2521 conform to the API changes from
2524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2525 - changed how constraints are compiled
2526 so that we do less recursion and more
2527 iteration. This makes the type check
2529 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2533 - created this from methods formerly found in
2534 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2536 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2537 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2540 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2542 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2543 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2545 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2548 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2549 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2550 - added tests for this
2551 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2552 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2553 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2554 - removed tests for this
2556 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2558 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2559 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2560 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2563 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2564 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2565 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2567 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2568 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2569 comments for more info.
2572 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2573 asked questions and common problems
2575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2576 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2577 - added tests for this
2579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2580 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2581 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2582 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2584 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2585 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2588 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2589 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2590 is much appreciated :)
2591 - added tests for this
2593 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2594 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2595 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2598 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2599 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2601 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2603 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2604 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2608 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2609 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2610 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2612 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2614 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2617 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2618 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2619 keywords because we need to localize them.
2620 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2622 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2623 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2624 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2627 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2631 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2632 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2635 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2636 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2637 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2639 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2641 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2642 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2643 bottom of your class file.
2646 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2649 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2651 - improved error message when loading modules so
2652 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2653 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2654 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2657 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2658 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2659 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2661 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2662 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2664 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2665 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2666 turn them on for you.
2667 - added tests for this
2668 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2669 in Moose::Meta::Class
2672 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2673 automatically turned on for you.
2674 - added tests for this
2677 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2678 - added tests for this
2679 - added some more edge case tests

2691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2692 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2695 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2696 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2697 - This release works in combination with
2698 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2699 release because it uses the a new
2700 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2701 complete Role implementation. It has
2702 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2703 the the previous CPAN version. This
2704 release also lacks good updated docs,
2705 the official release will have updated docs.
2708 - refactored the keyword exports
2709 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2710 accepts more than one Role at a time
2711 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2712 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2715 - refactored the keyword exports
2716 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2717 accepts more than one Role at a time
2719 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2720 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2721 string enumerations which can be used as
2723 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2726 - more careful checking of params to new()
2729 - much work done on the role composition
2730 - many new tests for conflict detection
2731 and composition edge cases
2732 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2733 looking at the tests
2735 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2736 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2737 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2739 * Moose::Meta::Class
2740 - some small changes to support the new
2742 - some small additions to support Roles
2744 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2745 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2747 - some small changes to support the new

2756 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2757 thanks to chansen for this commit
2758 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
