1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
9 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
14 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
16 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
18 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
23 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
25 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
29 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
30 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
31 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
34 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
35 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
36 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
38 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
39 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
40 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
41 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
42 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
45 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
50 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
51 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
52 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
53 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
54 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
57 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
61 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
64 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
65 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
69 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
70 function (not just method). (doy)
74 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
75 and aren't easily installable/testable.
77 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
81 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
82 to be overridden more easily (doy).
84 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
88 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
89 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
91 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
95 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
96 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
97 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
99 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
103 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
104 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
105 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
107 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
108 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
112 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
113 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
115 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
116 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
120 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
121 is applied to a class (t0m).
123 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
124 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
126 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
129 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
130 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
132 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
133 be much more robust. (doy)
135 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
137 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
140 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
144 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
145 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
147 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
151 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
152 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
154 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
157 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
158 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
159 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
161 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
162 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
163 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
166 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
168 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
172 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
173 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
177 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
179 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
184 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
188 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
189 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
193 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
195 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
199 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
200 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
204 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
205 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
209 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
210 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
212 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
216 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
217 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
218 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
221 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
225 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
226 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
227 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
228 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
230 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
234 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
235 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
236 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
240 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
243 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
248 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
249 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
253 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
254 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
256 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
257 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
258 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
259 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
261 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
265 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
269 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
270 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
272 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
273 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
274 - Moose::Util::does_role
275 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
276 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
277 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
279 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
283 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
284 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
285 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
288 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
292 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
293 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
296 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
300 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
301 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
304 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
308 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
310 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
311 class. (Dave Rolsky).
313 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
314 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
315 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
318 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
319 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
322 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
323 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
325 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
326 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
327 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
329 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
331 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
332 substr et al, again. (sorear)
334 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
336 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
339 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
340 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
342 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
343 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
345 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
346 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
347 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
348 dependencies installed.
350 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
351 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
354 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
356 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
360 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
363 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
364 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
367 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
368 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
370 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
371 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
374 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
375 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
376 others. (nothingmuch)
378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
379 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
380 remove_accessors. (doy)
382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
383 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
384 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
387 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
389 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
391 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
392 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
395 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
396 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
399 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
401 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
403 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
404 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
408 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
409 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
410 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
411 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
413 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
416 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
417 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
418 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
419 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
422 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
423 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
424 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
425 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
426 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
428 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
429 which were not receiving the value of
430 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
431 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
432 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
433 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
437 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
438 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
439 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
440 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
441 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
445 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
446 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
447 - added tests for this (Stevan)
450 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
451 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
452 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
455 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
457 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
460 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
461 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
464 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
465 class if you pass it options for
466 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
467 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
468 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
469 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
470 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
471 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
472 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
473 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
474 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
476 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
477 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
478 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
479 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
480 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
483 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
485 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
486 existing delegation API. (hdp)
488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
489 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
490 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
491 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
492 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
493 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
496 * Moose::Error::Croak
497 * Moose::Error::Confess
498 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
499 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
502 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
505 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
506 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
507 installing a broken sub. (doy)
510 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
513 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
514 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
515 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
517 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
518 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
519 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
520 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
521 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
523 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
524 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
527 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
529 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
530 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
533 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
534 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
538 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
539 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
542 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
543 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
544 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
545 using it for new code!
547 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
548 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
549 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
550 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
552 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
553 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
554 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
555 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
556 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
557 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
558 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
559 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
562 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
565 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
566 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
570 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
573 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
574 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
578 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
579 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
582 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
583 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
586 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
587 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
590 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
591 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
592 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
593 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
594 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
595 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
597 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
599 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
603 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
604 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
606 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
607 associated_methods. (hdp)
608 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
609 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
610 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
611 misspelled) arguments
613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
614 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
615 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
616 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
619 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
620 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
622 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
626 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
627 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
630 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
631 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
633 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
635 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
636 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
638 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
639 * Moose::Manual::Types
640 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
641 string parsing rathole (mst)
643 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
644 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
645 using plain objects instead
647 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
648 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
651 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
653 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
654 three times today (perigrin)
655 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
656 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
658 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
659 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
660 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
661 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
664 - A role's required methods are now represented by
665 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
666 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
667 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
668 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
669 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
672 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
673 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
674 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
675 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
678 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
680 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
683 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
685 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
688 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
689 during global destruction. This method has been made more
690 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
694 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
695 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
698 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
699 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
701 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
702 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
703 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
706 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
708 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
709 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
712 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
716 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
717 methods during global destruction (doy)
720 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
721 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
725 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
726 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
729 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
730 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
733 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
734 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
736 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
738 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
742 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
743 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
744 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
747 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
748 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
749 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
752 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
754 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
756 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
760 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
761 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
762 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
764 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
765 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
766 of the Moose core (Sartak)
769 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
772 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
773 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
774 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
778 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
779 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
782 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
784 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
787 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
788 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
791 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
792 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
795 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
796 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
799 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
802 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
805 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
809 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
811 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
812 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
815 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
816 * More deprecations and renamings
817 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
818 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
819 when an object is constructed)
822 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
823 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
824 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
827 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
828 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
829 feature, and it works again.
832 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
834 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
836 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
837 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
838 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
841 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
842 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
843 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
844 message. Test provided by perigrin.
846 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
847 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
848 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
849 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
850 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
853 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
854 metaclass object. (hdp)
856 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
857 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
858 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
859 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
860 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
861 point out this fact. (hdp)
863 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
864 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
866 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
867 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
871 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
872 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
873 called during instance construction were passed the
874 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
875 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
877 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
878 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
881 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
882 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
883 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
886 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
887 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
888 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
889 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
890 them, but they are not for "public" use.
893 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
895 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
896 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
897 when an object is constructed)
898 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
900 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
901 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
902 when an object is constructed)
903 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
904 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
905 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
908 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
910 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
911 * No changes from 0.72_01.
913 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
915 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
916 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
917 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
920 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
921 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
923 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
925 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
926 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
928 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
929 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
932 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
933 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
936 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
937 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
938 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
941 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
945 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
946 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
947 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
950 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
953 * Moose::Manual::Delta
954 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
955 with recommended workarounds.
957 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
958 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
961 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
962 (yes, spelled like that).
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
965 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
968 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
969 changes in latest Class::MOP.
971 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
974 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
975 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
976 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
977 instead. Reported by doy.
979 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
981 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
982 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
985 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
986 message) is now deprecated.
987 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
988 often got it wrong. For example:
990 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
992 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
996 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
997 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
998 bite you in weird cases.
1000 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1001 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1002 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1003 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1006 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1010 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1013 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1014 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1017 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1018 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1021 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1024 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1025 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1026 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1027 - added tests for this (stevan)
1029 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1030 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1031 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1032 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1036 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1037 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1038 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1039 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1041 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1042 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1043 - added tests for this (rafl)
1045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1046 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1047 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1048 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1052 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1053 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1056 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1057 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1058 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1060 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1062 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1063 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1065 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1066 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1067 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1068 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1069 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1072 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1073 error message did not specify the attribute name
1076 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1078 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1080 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1081 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1082 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1085 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1088 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1090 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1091 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1092 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1093 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1095 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1097 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1098 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1099 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1100 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1103 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1104 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1107 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1108 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1109 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1110 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1113 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1114 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1115 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1116 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1119 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1120 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1121 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1122 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1123 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1125 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1126 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1127 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1128 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1129 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1130 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1133 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1135 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1136 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1137 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1138 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1141 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1144 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1148 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1149 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1152 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1153 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1154 guts. (nothingmuch).
1156 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1158 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1161 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1162 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1163 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1165 * Moose::Meta::Class
1166 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1169 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1170 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1173 * Moose::Unsweetened
1174 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1177 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1178 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1179 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1180 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1181 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1182 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1185 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1186 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1187 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1188 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1189 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1190 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1191 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1192 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1193 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1197 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1198 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1201 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1202 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1203 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1205 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1206 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1207 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1208 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1209 same methods for a single role did not work
1210 right (worked just fine with multiple
1212 - added test for this (stevan)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1215 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1216 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1219 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1220 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1221 - added test for this (t0m)
1224 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1225 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1226 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1229 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1230 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1231 - added test for this (t0m)
1233 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1234 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1235 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1236 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1237 - added test for this (perigrin)
1240 - create method for constructing a role
1241 dynamically (Sartak)
1242 - added test for this (Sartak)
1243 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1244 - added test for this (Sartak)
1247 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1249 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1250 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1251 methods is useful (Sartak)
1253 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1255 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1258 * Moose::Meta::Class
1259 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1260 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1261 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1262 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1263 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1264 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1267 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1268 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1270 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1272 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1273 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1274 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1276 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1278 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1279 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1280 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1283 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1284 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1285 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1286 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1287 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1288 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1291 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1292 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1293 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1294 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1295 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1296 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1297 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1298 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1299 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1300 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1301 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1304 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1308 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1309 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1310 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1311 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1313 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1315 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1316 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1317 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1320 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1323 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1324 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1325 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1329 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1331 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1333 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1334 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Class
1337 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1338 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1339 a required attribute
1341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1342 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1343 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1344 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1347 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1350 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1351 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1352 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1353 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1354 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1355 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1356 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1359 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1360 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1362 * Roles and role application
1363 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1364 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1365 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1366 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1367 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1369 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1370 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1373 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1374 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1375 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1376 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1377 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1380 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1381 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1382 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1383 changes in the Moose internals.
1385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1387 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1391 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1392 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1393 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1396 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1397 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1398 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1401 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1402 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1403 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1404 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1405 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1406 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1407 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1408 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1409 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1410 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1411 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1412 constraint implementations.
1414 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1418 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1419 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1420 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1421 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1422 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1423 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1424 - added tests for this (rafl)
1426 * Moose::Meta::Class
1427 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1428 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1429 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1430 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1431 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1432 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1433 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1434 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1437 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1438 - added tests for this (thepler)
1440 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1441 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1442 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1443 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1446 * Moose::Meta::Class
1447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1448 * Moose::Meta::Method
1451 * Moose::Error::Default
1452 * Moose::Error::Croak
1453 * Moose::Error::Confess
1454 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1455 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1456 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1457 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1458 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1459 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1461 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1463 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1464 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1466 * Moose::Unsweetened
1467 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1468 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1469 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1472 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1473 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1474 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1475 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1478 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1479 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1481 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1482 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1483 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1484 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1527 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1531 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1532 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1533 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1534 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1535 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1538 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1540 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1542 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1543 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1547 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1548 method when that method was provided by another role being
1549 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1550 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1552 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1560 - added test for this (t0m)
1562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1563 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1564 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1566 - added test for this (t0m)
1569 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1570 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1571 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1574 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1575 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1577 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1579 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1580 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1583 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1584 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1587 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

1593 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1597 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1598 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1599 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1603 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1604 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1605 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1608 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1612 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1614 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1616 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1618 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1619 created so that the process can be more easily

1645 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1646 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1649 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1650 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1654 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1655 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1657 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1658 ... this is not my day today ...
1660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1661 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1662 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1663 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1664 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1667 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1668 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1669 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1670 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1671 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1674 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1676 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1677 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1678 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1679 this is not ever something you want to do
1680 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1681 - added tests for this (stevan)
1684 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1686 - added test for this

1695 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1697 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1698 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1699 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1702 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1704 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1706 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1709 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1710 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1711 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1712 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1713 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1714 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1715 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1716 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1717 - added tests for this
1719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1720 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1721 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1722 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1724 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1780 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1784 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1786 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1787 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1789 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1790 (early morning release engineering)--
1792 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1793 which was causing the indexer to choke
1795 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1796 (late night release engineering)--
1798 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1799 changes in this release
1801 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

1807 since it is called so often by &meta
1809 * Moose::Meta::Class
1811 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1812 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1815 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1816 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1817 method for immutablization to check if the
1818 destructor object even needs to be created
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1822 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1823 - added more descriptive error message to help
1824 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1825 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1827 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1829 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1830 XS based functionality is now optional
1831 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1832 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1833 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1835 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1836 to take care of this, mostly we added
1837 support for the package_name and name
1838 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1839 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1840 support regexp matching of names
1841 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1842 - tests added for this
1843 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1844 is currently not supported in roles,
1845 but, ... patches welcome
1846 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1847 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1848 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1851 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1852 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1853 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1854 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1855 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1856 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1857 - added test for this
1859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1860 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1861 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1864 * Moose::Meta::Class
1865 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1869 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1871 - added tests for this
1872 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1873 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1875 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1876 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1877 themselves parameterizable types
1879 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1880 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1881 called by the inlined immutable
1883 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1885 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1886 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1887 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1888 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1890 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1891 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1903 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1906 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1907 ->body when looping through the
1908 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1910 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1911 eating the $@ values, and so not
1912 working correctly, it still kind of
1913 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1914 - added tests for this
1916 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1917 - added new recipe for immutable
1918 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1920 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1936 drink more coffee before
1937 doing release engineering
1939 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1940 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1941 modules. This fixes that.

1944 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1945 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1954 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1955 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1957 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **

1959 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1960 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will

1971 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1973 - added test for this
1975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2054 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2056 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2061 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2096 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2100 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2101 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2102 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2104 - added more delegation tests
2105 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2106 support traits and their introspection.

2347 - added tests for this
2350 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2351 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2390 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2393 - fixed how required methods are handled
2394 when they encounter overriden or modified
2395 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2396 - added tests for this
2398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2399 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2400 the | always creates a union and so is
2401 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2402 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2404 - added more tests for this
2406 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2409 * Parameterized Types
2410 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2411 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2412 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2413 They can also be nested:
2414 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2415 And work with the type unions as well:
2416 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2418 * Better Framework Extendability
2419 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2420 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2421 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2422 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2425 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2426 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2427 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2428 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2431 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2433 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2663 so that you can actually document your
2664 attributes and inspect them through the

2668 * Moose::Meta::Class
2669 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2670 it will first look in for the class in the
2671 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2672 then default to just loading $name.
2673 - added tests and docs for this
2675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2676 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2677 - added test for this

2682 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2683 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2685 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2686 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2689 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2691 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2692 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2693 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2696 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2697 !! for this developer release to work !!
2699 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2700 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2701 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2702 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2703 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2704 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2705 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2706 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2707 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2708 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2709 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2711 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2712 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2713 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2714 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2717 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2719 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2720 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2721 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2723 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2725 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2726 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2729 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2730 called unless they actually need to be.
2731 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2732 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2733 DEMOLISH method present.
2735 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2736 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2737 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2738 type constraint, which allows for a
2739 hand optimized version of the type
2740 constraint to be used when possible.
2741 - Any internally created type constraints
2742 now provide an optimized version as well.
2744 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2746 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2747 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2748 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2751 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2752 your class namespace of these exported
2755 * Moose::Meta::Class
2756 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2757 comes up during global destruction
2759 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2763 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2766 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2767 - changed how we do type checks so that
2768 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2771 - moved accessor generation methods to
2772 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2773 conform to the API changes from
2776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2777 - changed how constraints are compiled
2778 so that we do less recursion and more
2779 iteration. This makes the type check
2781 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2785 - created this from methods formerly found in
2786 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2788 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2789 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2792 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2794 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2795 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2797 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2800 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2801 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2802 - added tests for this
2803 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2804 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2805 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2806 - removed tests for this
2808 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2810 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2811 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2812 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2815 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2816 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2817 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2819 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2820 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2821 comments for more info.
2824 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2825 asked questions and common problems
2827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2828 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2829 - added tests for this
2831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2832 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2833 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2834 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2836 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2837 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2840 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2841 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2842 is much appreciated :)
2843 - added tests for this
2845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2846 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2847 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2850 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2851 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2853 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2855 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2856 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2860 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2861 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2862 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2864 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2866 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2869 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2870 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2871 keywords because we need to localize them.
2872 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2874 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2875 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2876 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2879 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2882 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2883 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2884 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2887 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2888 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2889 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2891 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2893 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2894 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2895 bottom of your class file.
2898 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2901 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2903 - improved error message when loading modules so
2904 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2905 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2906 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2909 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2910 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2911 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2913 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2914 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2916 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2917 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2918 turn them on for you.
2919 - added tests for this
2920 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2921 in Moose::Meta::Class
2924 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2925 automatically turned on for you.

2947 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2948 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2949 - This release works in combination with
2950 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2951 release because it uses the a new
2952 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2953 complete Role implementation. It has
2954 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2955 the the previous CPAN version. This
2956 release also lacks good updated docs,
2957 the official release will have updated docs.
2960 - refactored the keyword exports
2961 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2962 accepts more than one Role at a time
2963 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2964 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2967 - refactored the keyword exports
2968 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2969 accepts more than one Role at a time
2971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2972 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2973 string enumerations which can be used as
2975 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2978 - more careful checking of params to new()
2981 - much work done on the role composition
2982 - many new tests for conflict detection
2983 and composition edge cases
2984 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2985 looking at the tests
2987 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2988 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2989 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2991 * Moose::Meta::Class

2994 - some small additions to support Roles
2996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2997 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2999 - some small changes to support the new
3001 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3002 with the 'handles' option
3003 - added several tests for this
3004 - no docs for this yet
3006 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3008 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3009 thanks to chansen for this commit
3010 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3011 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3012 on a per-attribute basis
3013 - added tests for this
3014 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3015 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3016 experimental feature and probably not finished

3081 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3083 - added test for this
3086 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
