10 * Update conflicts list.
13 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
17 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
18 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
19 details. (Dave Rolsky)
21 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
22 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
23 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
24 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
25 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
29 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
30 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
31 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
32 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
33 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
36 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
40 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
41 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
43 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
46 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
50 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
51 immutable classes). (mo)
53 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
54 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
55 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
57 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
61 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
63 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
65 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
69 * Fix some indexing issues.
71 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
73 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
77 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
78 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
79 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
80 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
81 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
83 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
84 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
89 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
90 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
91 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
92 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
94 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
95 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
96 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
100 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
101 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
104 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
108 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
109 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
113 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
117 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
118 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
119 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
120 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
123 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
127 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
130 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
134 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
135 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
136 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
138 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
142 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
143 policy. (Chris Prather)
145 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
146 on this new support policy. (doy)
150 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
151 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
152 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
154 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
155 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
157 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
161 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
162 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
163 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
164 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
167 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
171 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
172 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
175 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
179 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
180 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
182 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
183 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
188 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
189 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
190 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
191 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
192 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
194 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
195 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
197 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
198 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
199 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
200 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
202 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
203 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
205 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
210 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
211 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
213 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
217 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
218 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
219 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
221 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
225 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
226 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
227 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
229 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
230 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
233 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
234 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
237 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
238 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
239 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
241 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
242 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
247 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
248 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
249 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
250 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
252 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
253 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
255 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
256 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
258 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
259 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
260 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
261 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
263 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
264 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
265 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
268 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
269 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
270 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
271 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
273 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
274 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
277 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
278 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
279 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
281 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
285 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
286 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
287 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
289 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
290 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
291 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
294 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
295 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
296 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
298 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
299 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
300 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
302 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
303 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
307 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
308 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
309 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
311 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
312 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
313 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
314 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
316 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
320 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
321 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
322 value is a reference.
324 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
325 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
327 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
331 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
332 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
333 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
335 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
339 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
340 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
344 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
345 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
346 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
348 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
349 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
350 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
352 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
356 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
358 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
362 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
364 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
365 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
370 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
371 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
373 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
374 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
375 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
376 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
377 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
379 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
380 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
381 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
382 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
384 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
388 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
389 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
394 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
396 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
398 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
403 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
405 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
409 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
410 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
411 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
413 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
414 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
415 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
416 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
418 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
419 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
420 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
421 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
422 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
425 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
430 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
431 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
432 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
433 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
434 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
437 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
441 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
444 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
445 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
449 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
450 function (not just method). (doy)
454 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
455 and aren't easily installable/testable.
457 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
461 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
462 to be overridden more easily (doy).
464 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
468 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
469 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
471 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
475 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
476 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
477 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
479 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
483 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
484 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
485 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
487 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
488 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
492 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
493 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
495 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
496 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
500 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
501 is applied to a class (t0m).
503 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
504 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
506 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
509 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
510 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
512 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
513 be much more robust. (doy)
515 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
517 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
520 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
524 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
525 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
527 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
531 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
532 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
534 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
537 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
538 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
539 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
541 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
542 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
543 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
546 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
548 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
552 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
553 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
557 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
559 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
563 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
564 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
568 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
569 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
573 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
575 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
579 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
580 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
584 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
585 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
589 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
590 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
592 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
596 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
597 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
598 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
601 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
605 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
606 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
607 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
608 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
610 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
614 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
615 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
616 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
620 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
623 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
628 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
629 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
633 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
634 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
636 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
637 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
638 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
639 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
641 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
645 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
649 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
650 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
652 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
653 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
654 - Moose::Util::does_role
655 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
656 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
657 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
659 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
663 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
664 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
665 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
668 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
672 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
673 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
676 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
680 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
681 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
684 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
688 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
690 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
691 class. (Dave Rolsky).
693 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
694 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
695 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
697 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
698 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
699 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
702 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
703 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
705 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
706 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
707 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
709 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
711 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
712 substr et al, again. (sorear)
714 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
716 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
719 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
720 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
722 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
723 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
725 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
726 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
727 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
728 dependencies installed.
730 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
731 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
734 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
736 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
740 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
743 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
744 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
746 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
747 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
748 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
750 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
751 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
754 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
755 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
756 others. (nothingmuch)
758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
759 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
760 remove_accessors. (doy)
762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
763 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
764 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
766 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
767 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
769 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
771 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
772 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
775 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
776 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
779 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
781 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
783 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
784 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
788 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
789 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
790 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
791 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
793 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
794 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
796 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
797 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
798 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
799 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
802 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
803 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
804 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
805 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
806 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
808 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
809 which were not receiving the value of
810 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
811 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
812 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
813 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
817 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
818 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
819 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
820 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
821 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
825 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
826 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
827 - added tests for this (Stevan)
830 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
831 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
832 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
835 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
837 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
840 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
841 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
844 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
845 class if you pass it options for
846 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
847 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
848 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
849 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
850 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
851 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
852 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
853 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
854 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
856 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
857 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
858 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
859 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
860 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
863 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
865 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
866 existing delegation API. (hdp)
868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
869 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
870 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
871 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
872 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
873 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
876 * Moose::Error::Croak
877 * Moose::Error::Confess
878 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
879 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
882 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
885 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
886 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
887 installing a broken sub. (doy)
890 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
893 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
894 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
895 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
897 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
898 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
899 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
900 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
901 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
904 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
907 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
909 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
910 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
913 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
914 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
918 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
919 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
922 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
923 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
924 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
925 using it for new code!
927 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
928 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
929 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
930 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
932 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
933 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
934 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
935 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
936 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
937 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
938 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
939 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
942 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
945 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
946 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
950 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
953 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
954 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
958 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
959 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
962 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
963 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
966 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
967 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
970 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
972 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
973 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
974 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
975 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
977 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
979 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
983 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
984 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
986 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
987 associated_methods. (hdp)
988 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
989 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
990 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
991 misspelled) arguments
993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
994 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
995 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
996 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
999 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1000 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1002 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1006 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1007 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1010 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1011 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1013 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1014 * Moose::Meta::Class
1015 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1016 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1018 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1019 * Moose::Manual::Types
1020 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1021 string parsing rathole (mst)
1023 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1024 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1025 using plain objects instead
1027 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1028 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1029 that's what we need.
1031 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1032 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1033 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1034 three times today (perigrin)
1035 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1036 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1039 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1040 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1041 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1044 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1045 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1046 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1047 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1048 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1049 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1052 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1053 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1054 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1055 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1058 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1060 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1063 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1065 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1068 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1069 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1070 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1074 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1075 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1078 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1079 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1081 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1082 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1083 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1085 * Moose::Unsweetened
1086 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1089 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1092 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1096 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1097 methods during global destruction (doy)
1099 * Moose::Meta::Class
1100 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1101 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1102 consumption (Sartak)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Class
1105 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1106 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1109 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1110 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1113 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1114 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1116 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1118 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1122 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1123 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1124 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1128 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1129 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1132 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1134 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1136 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1140 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1141 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1142 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1144 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1145 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1146 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1149 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1152 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1153 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1154 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1158 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1159 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1161 * Moose::Meta::Class
1162 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1164 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1166 * Moose::Meta::Class
1167 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1168 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1171 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1172 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1175 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1176 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1179 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1182 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1185 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1188 * Moose::Meta::Class
1189 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1192 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1195 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1196 * More deprecations and renamings
1197 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1198 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1199 when an object is constructed)
1202 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1203 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1204 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1207 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1208 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1209 feature, and it works again.
1212 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1214 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1216 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1217 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1218 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1221 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1222 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1223 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1224 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1228 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1229 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1230 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1233 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1234 metaclass object. (hdp)
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1237 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1238 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1239 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1240 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1241 point out this fact. (hdp)
1243 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1244 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1247 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1249 * Moose::Meta::Class
1250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1251 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1252 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1253 called during instance construction were passed the
1254 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1255 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1257 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1258 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1262 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1263 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1266 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1267 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1268 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1269 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1270 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1272 - Moose::Meta::Class
1273 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1275 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1276 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1277 when an object is constructed)
1278 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1280 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1281 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1282 when an object is constructed)
1283 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1284 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1285 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1288 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1290 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1291 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1293 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1295 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1296 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1297 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1300 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1301 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1303 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1305 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1306 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1308 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1309 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1313 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1316 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1317 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1318 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1321 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1325 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1326 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1327 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1330 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1333 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1334 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1335 with recommended workarounds.
1337 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1338 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1341 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1342 (yes, spelled like that).
1344 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1345 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1347 * Moose::Meta::Class
1348 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1349 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1351 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1354 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1355 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1356 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1357 instead. Reported by doy.
1359 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1361 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1362 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1364 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1365 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1366 message) is now deprecated.
1367 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1368 often got it wrong. For example:
1370 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1372 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1376 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1377 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1378 bite you in weird cases.
1380 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1381 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1382 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1383 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1385 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1386 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1390 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1393 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1394 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1398 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1401 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1404 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1406 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1407 - added tests for this (stevan)
1409 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1410 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1411 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1412 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1416 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1417 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1418 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1419 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1421 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1422 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1423 - added tests for this (rafl)
1425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1426 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1427 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1428 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1432 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1433 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1436 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1437 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1438 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1440 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1442 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1443 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1445 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1446 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1447 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1448 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1449 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1452 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1453 error message did not specify the attribute name
1456 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1458 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1460 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1461 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1462 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1465 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1468 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1470 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1471 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1472 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1473 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1475 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1477 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1478 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1479 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1480 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1482 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1483 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1484 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1487 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1488 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1489 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1490 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1493 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1494 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1495 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1496 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1499 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1500 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1501 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1502 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1503 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1505 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1506 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1507 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1508 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1509 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1510 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1513 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1515 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1516 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1517 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1518 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1521 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1524 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1528 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1529 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1531 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1532 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1533 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1534 guts. (nothingmuch).
1536 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1538 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1541 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1542 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1543 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1545 * Moose::Meta::Class
1546 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1549 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1550 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1552 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1553 * Moose::Unsweetened
1554 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1557 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1558 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1559 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1560 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1561 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1562 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1565 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1566 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1567 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1568 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1569 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1570 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1571 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1572 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1573 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1577 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1578 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1581 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1582 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1583 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1585 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1586 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1587 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1588 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1589 same methods for a single role did not work
1590 right (worked just fine with multiple
1592 - added test for this (stevan)
1594 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1595 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1596 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1599 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1600 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1601 - added test for this (t0m)
1604 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1605 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1606 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1608 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1609 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1610 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1611 - added test for this (t0m)
1613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1614 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1615 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1616 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1617 - added test for this (perigrin)
1620 - create method for constructing a role
1621 dynamically (Sartak)
1622 - added test for this (Sartak)
1623 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1624 - added test for this (Sartak)
1627 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1630 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1631 methods is useful (Sartak)
1633 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1635 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1638 * Moose::Meta::Class
1639 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1640 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1641 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1642 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1643 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1644 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1647 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1648 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1651 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1652 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1653 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1654 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1656 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1658 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1659 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1663 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1664 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1665 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1666 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1667 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1668 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1671 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1672 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1673 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1674 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1675 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1676 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1677 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1678 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1679 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1680 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1681 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1683 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1684 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1687 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1688 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1689 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1690 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1691 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1693 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1695 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1696 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1697 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1700 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1703 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1704 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1705 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1709 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1711 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1713 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1714 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1716 * Moose::Meta::Class
1717 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1718 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1719 a required attribute
1721 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1722 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1723 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1724 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1727 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1730 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1731 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1732 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1733 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1734 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1735 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1736 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1738 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1739 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1740 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1742 * Roles and role application
1743 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1744 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1745 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1746 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1747 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1749 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1750 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1754 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1755 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1756 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1757 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1760 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1761 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1762 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1763 changes in the Moose internals.
1765 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1766 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1767 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1770 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1771 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1772 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1773 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1775 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1776 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1777 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1778 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1781 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1782 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1783 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1784 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1785 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1786 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1787 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1788 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1789 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1790 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1791 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1792 constraint implementations.
1794 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1798 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1799 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1800 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1801 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1802 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1803 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1804 - added tests for this (rafl)
1806 * Moose::Meta::Class
1807 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1808 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1809 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1810 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1811 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1812 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1813 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1814 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1817 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1818 - added tests for this (thepler)
1820 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1821 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1822 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1823 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1826 * Moose::Meta::Class
1827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1828 * Moose::Meta::Method
1831 * Moose::Error::Default
1832 * Moose::Error::Croak
1833 * Moose::Error::Confess
1834 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1835 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1836 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1837 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1838 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1839 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1841 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1843 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1844 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 * Moose::Unsweetened
1847 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1848 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1849 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1851 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1852 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1853 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1854 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1855 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1858 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1859 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1861 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1862 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1863 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1864 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1867 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1869 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1870 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1872 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1875 - Various bug fixes.
1877 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1878 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1880 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1882 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1883 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1885 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1886 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1887 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1890 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1891 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1893 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1894 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1895 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1898 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1899 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1900 dependency to 0.64_07.
1902 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1903 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1904 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1907 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1910 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1911 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1912 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1913 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1914 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1915 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1918 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1920 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1922 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1923 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1927 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1928 method when that method was provided by another role being
1929 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1932 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1934 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1935 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1937 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1938 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1939 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1940 - added test for this (t0m)
1942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1943 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1944 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1946 - added test for this (t0m)
1949 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1950 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1951 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1955 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1957 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1959 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1960 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1962 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1963 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1964 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1967 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1971 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1972 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1973 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1977 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1978 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1979 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1983 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1984 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1985 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1988 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1992 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1993 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1994 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1996 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1997 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1998 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1999 created so that the process can be more easily
2000 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2002 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2003 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2004 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2005 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2008 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2011 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2012 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2014 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2015 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2016 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2018 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2019 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2020 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2022 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2023 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2025 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2026 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2029 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2030 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2034 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2035 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2037 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2038 ... this is not my day today ...
2040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2041 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2042 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2043 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2044 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2047 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2048 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2049 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2050 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2051 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2054 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2056 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2057 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2058 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2059 this is not ever something you want to do
2060 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2061 - added tests for this (stevan)
2064 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2066 - added test for this

2086 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2089 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2090 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2091 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2092 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2093 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2094 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2095 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2096 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2097 - added tests for this
2099 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2100 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2101 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2102 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2210 XS based functionality is now optional
2211 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2212 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2213 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2215 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2216 to take care of this, mostly we added

2287 ->body when looping through the
2288 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2290 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

2292 working correctly, it still kind of
2293 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2294 - added tests for this

2316 drink more coffee before
2317 doing release engineering
2319 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2434 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2436 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2735 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2736 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2738 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2752 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2769 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2770 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2773 - fixed how required methods are handled
2774 when they encounter overriden or modified
2775 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2776 - added tests for this
2778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2779 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2780 the | always creates a union and so is
2781 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2782 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2784 - added more tests for this
2786 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2789 * Parameterized Types
2790 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2791 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2792 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2793 They can also be nested:
2794 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2795 And work with the type unions as well:
2796 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2798 * Better Framework Extendability
2799 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2800 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2801 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2802 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2805 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2806 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2807 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2808 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2811 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2813 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2873 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2874 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2876 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2893 (thanks to shlomif).
2895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2896 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2897 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2898 - added tests for this

2946 (but not changing the handles option)
2947 - added tests and docs for this
2950 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2951 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2962 the other side (perigrin)
2964 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2965 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2966 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2967 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2968 prototypes for functions
2969 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2970 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2980 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2983 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2984 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2985 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2986 - added tests for this
2988 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2990 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3011 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3012 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3014 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3015 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3016 so this release is just to fix that.
3019 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3020 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3021 (thanks to konobi for this)
3022 - added tests and docs
3024 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3028 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3029 thanks to phaylon for finding this

3032 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3033 functions to facilitate introspection.
3035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3036 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3037 to build the list of delegated methods
3038 correctly (and not override important
3039 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3041 - added tests and docs for this
3042 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3043 so that you can actually document your
3044 attributes and inspect them through the
3046 - added tests and docs for this
3048 * Moose::Meta::Class
3049 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3050 it will first look in for the class in the
3051 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3052 then default to just loading $name.
3053 - added tests and docs for this
3055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3056 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3057 - added test for this
3060 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3061 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3062 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3063 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3065 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3066 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3069 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3071 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3072 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3073 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3076 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3077 !! for this developer release to work !!
3079 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3080 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3081 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3082 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3083 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3084 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3085 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3086 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3087 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3088 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3089 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3091 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3092 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3093 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3094 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3097 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3098 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3099 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3100 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3101 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3103 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3105 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3106 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3109 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3110 called unless they actually need to be.
3111 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3112 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3113 DEMOLISH method present.
3115 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3117 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3118 type constraint, which allows for a
3119 hand optimized version of the type
3120 constraint to be used when possible.
3121 - Any internally created type constraints
3122 now provide an optimized version as well.
3124 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3126 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3127 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3128 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3131 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3132 your class namespace of these exported
3135 * Moose::Meta::Class
3136 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3137 comes up during global destruction
3139 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3143 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3147 - changed how we do type checks so that
3148 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3151 - moved accessor generation methods to
3152 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3153 conform to the API changes from
3156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3157 - changed how constraints are compiled
3158 so that we do less recursion and more
3159 iteration. This makes the type check
3161 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3165 - created this from methods formerly found in
3166 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3169 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3172 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3175 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3177 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3180 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3181 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3182 - added tests for this
3183 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3184 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3185 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3186 - removed tests for this
3188 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3190 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3191 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3192 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3195 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3196 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3197 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3199 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3200 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3201 comments for more info.
3204 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3205 asked questions and common problems
3207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3208 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3209 - added tests for this
3211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3212 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3213 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3214 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3216 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3217 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3220 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3221 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3222 is much appreciated :)
3223 - added tests for this
3225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3226 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3227 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3231 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3233 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3235 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3236 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3240 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3241 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3242 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3244 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3246 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3249 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3250 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3251 keywords because we need to localize them.
3252 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3254 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3255 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3256 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3259 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3263 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3264 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3267 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3268 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3269 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3271 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3273 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3274 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3275 bottom of your class file.
3278 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3281 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3283 - improved error message when loading modules so
3284 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3285 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3286 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3289 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3290 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3291 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3293 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3294 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3296 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3297 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3298 turn them on for you.
3299 - added tests for this
3300 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3301 in Moose::Meta::Class
3304 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3305 automatically turned on for you.
3306 - added tests for this
3309 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3310 - added tests for this
3311 - added some more edge case tests

3324 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3327 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3328 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3329 - This release works in combination with
3330 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3331 release because it uses the a new
3332 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3333 complete Role implementation. It has
3334 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3335 the the previous CPAN version. This
3336 release also lacks good updated docs,
3337 the official release will have updated docs.
3340 - refactored the keyword exports
3341 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3342 accepts more than one Role at a time
3343 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3344 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3347 - refactored the keyword exports
3348 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3349 accepts more than one Role at a time
3351 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3352 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3353 string enumerations which can be used as
3355 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3358 - more careful checking of params to new()
3361 - much work done on the role composition
3362 - many new tests for conflict detection
3363 and composition edge cases
3364 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3365 looking at the tests
3367 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3368 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3369 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3371 * Moose::Meta::Class
3372 - some small changes to support the new
3374 - some small additions to support Roles
3376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3377 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3379 - some small changes to support the new
3381 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3382 with the 'handles' option
3383 - added several tests for this
3384 - no docs for this yet
3386 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3388 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3389 thanks to chansen for this commit
3390 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3391 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3392 on a per-attribute basis
3393 - added tests for this
3394 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3395 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3396 experimental feature and probably not finished
3397 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3398 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3399 - added tests for this
3402 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3409 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3410 thanks to chansen for this commit

3413 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3414 construct_instance (for the better)
3416 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3417 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3418 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
3420 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3421 - added type constraint unions
3422 - added tests for this
3423 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method
