1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
9 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
10 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
11 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
13 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
14 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
15 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
19 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
20 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
22 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
26 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
27 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
28 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
29 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
36 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
37 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
40 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
44 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
45 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
47 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
48 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
52 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
53 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
54 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
55 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
56 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
57 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
59 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
60 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
62 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
63 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
64 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
67 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
68 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
70 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
75 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
76 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
78 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
82 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
83 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
84 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
86 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
90 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
91 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
92 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
94 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
95 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
98 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
99 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
102 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
103 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
104 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
106 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
107 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
112 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
113 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
114 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
115 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
117 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
118 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
120 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
121 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
123 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
124 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
125 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
126 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
128 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
129 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
130 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
133 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
134 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
135 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
136 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
139 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
142 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
143 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
144 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
146 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
150 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
151 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
152 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
154 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
155 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
156 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
159 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
160 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
161 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
163 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
164 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
165 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
167 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
168 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
172 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
173 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
174 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
176 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
177 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
178 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
179 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
181 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
186 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
187 value is a reference.
189 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
190 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
192 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
196 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
197 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
198 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
200 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
204 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
205 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
209 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
210 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
211 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
213 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
214 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
215 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
217 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
221 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
223 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
227 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
229 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
230 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
235 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
236 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
238 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
239 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
240 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
241 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
242 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
244 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
245 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
246 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
247 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
249 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
253 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
254 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
259 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
261 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
263 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
268 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
270 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
274 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
275 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
276 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
278 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
279 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
280 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
281 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
283 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
284 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
285 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
286 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
287 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
290 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
295 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
296 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
297 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
298 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
299 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
302 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
306 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
309 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
310 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
314 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
315 function (not just method). (doy)
319 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
320 and aren't easily installable/testable.
322 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
326 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
327 to be overridden more easily (doy).
329 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
333 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
334 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
336 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
340 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
341 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
342 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
344 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
348 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
349 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
350 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
352 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
353 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
357 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
358 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
360 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
361 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
365 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
366 is applied to a class (t0m).
368 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
369 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
371 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
374 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
375 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
377 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
378 be much more robust. (doy)
380 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
382 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
385 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
389 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
390 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
392 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
396 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
397 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
399 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
402 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
403 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
404 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
406 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
407 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
408 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
411 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
413 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
417 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
418 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
422 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
424 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
429 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
433 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
434 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
438 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
440 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
444 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
445 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
449 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
450 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
454 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
455 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
457 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
461 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
462 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
463 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
466 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
470 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
471 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
472 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
473 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
475 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
479 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
480 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
481 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
485 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
488 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
493 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
494 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
498 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
499 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
501 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
502 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
503 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
504 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
506 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
510 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
514 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
515 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
517 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
518 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
519 - Moose::Util::does_role
520 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
521 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
522 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
524 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
528 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
529 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
530 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
533 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
537 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
538 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
541 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
545 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
546 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
549 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
553 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
555 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
556 class. (Dave Rolsky).
558 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
559 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
560 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
562 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
563 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
564 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
567 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
568 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
570 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
571 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
572 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
574 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
576 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
577 substr et al, again. (sorear)
579 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
581 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
584 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
585 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
587 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
588 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
590 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
591 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
592 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
593 dependencies installed.
595 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
596 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
599 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
601 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
605 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
608 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
609 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
612 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
613 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
615 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
616 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
619 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
620 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
621 others. (nothingmuch)
623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
624 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
625 remove_accessors. (doy)
627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
628 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
629 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
631 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
632 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
634 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
636 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
637 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
640 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
641 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
643 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
644 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
646 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
648 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
649 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
653 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
654 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
655 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
656 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
658 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
661 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
662 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
663 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
664 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
667 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
668 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
669 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
670 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
671 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
673 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
674 which were not receiving the value of
675 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
676 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
677 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
678 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
682 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
683 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
684 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
685 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
686 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
690 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
691 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
692 - added tests for this (Stevan)
695 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
696 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
697 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
700 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
702 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
704 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
705 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
706 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
709 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
710 class if you pass it options for
711 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
712 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
713 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
714 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
715 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
716 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
717 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
718 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
719 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
721 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
722 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
723 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
724 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
725 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
728 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
729 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
730 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
731 existing delegation API. (hdp)
733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
734 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
735 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
736 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
737 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
738 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
741 * Moose::Error::Croak
742 * Moose::Error::Confess
743 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
744 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
747 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
750 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
751 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
752 installing a broken sub. (doy)
755 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
758 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
759 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
760 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
762 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
763 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
764 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
765 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
766 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
769 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
772 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
774 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
775 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
778 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
779 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
782 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
783 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
784 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
786 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
787 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
788 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
789 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
790 using it for new code!
792 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
793 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
794 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
795 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
797 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
798 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
799 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
800 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
801 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
802 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
803 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
804 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
807 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
810 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
811 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
815 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
818 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
819 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
822 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
823 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
824 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
827 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
828 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
831 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
832 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
835 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
837 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
838 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
839 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
840 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
842 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
844 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
847 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
848 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
849 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
851 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
852 associated_methods. (hdp)
853 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
854 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
855 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
856 misspelled) arguments
858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
859 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
860 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
861 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
864 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
865 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
867 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
871 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
872 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
875 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
876 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
878 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
880 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
881 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
883 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
884 * Moose::Manual::Types
885 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
886 string parsing rathole (mst)
888 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
889 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
890 using plain objects instead
892 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
893 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
896 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
898 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
899 three times today (perigrin)
900 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
901 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
904 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
905 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
906 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
909 - A role's required methods are now represented by
910 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
911 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
912 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
913 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
914 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
917 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
918 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
919 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
920 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
923 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
925 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
928 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
930 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
933 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
934 during global destruction. This method has been made more
935 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
939 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
940 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
943 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
944 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
946 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
947 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
948 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
951 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
953 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
954 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
957 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
961 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
962 methods during global destruction (doy)
965 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
966 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
970 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
971 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
974 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
975 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
978 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
979 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
981 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
983 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
987 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
988 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
989 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
992 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
993 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
994 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
997 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
999 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1001 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1005 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1006 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1007 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1010 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1011 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1014 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1017 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1019 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1023 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1024 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Class
1027 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1029 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1031 * Moose::Meta::Class
1032 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1033 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1036 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1037 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1040 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1041 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1044 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1047 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1050 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1053 * Moose::Meta::Class
1054 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1056 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1057 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1060 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1061 * More deprecations and renamings
1062 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1063 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1064 when an object is constructed)
1067 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1068 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1069 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1072 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1073 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1074 feature, and it works again.
1077 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1079 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1081 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1082 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1083 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1086 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1087 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1088 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1089 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1092 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1093 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1094 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1095 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1098 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1099 metaclass object. (hdp)
1101 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1102 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1104 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1105 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1106 point out this fact. (hdp)
1108 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1109 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1111 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1112 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1114 * Moose::Meta::Class
1115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1116 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1117 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1118 called during instance construction were passed the
1119 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1120 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1122 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1123 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1126 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1127 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1128 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1131 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1132 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1133 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1134 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1135 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1137 - Moose::Meta::Class
1138 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1140 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1141 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1142 when an object is constructed)
1143 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1145 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1146 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1147 when an object is constructed)
1148 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1149 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1150 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1153 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1155 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1156 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1158 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1160 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1161 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1162 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1165 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1166 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1168 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1171 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1173 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1174 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1177 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1178 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1181 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1182 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1183 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1186 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1190 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1191 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1192 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1194 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1195 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1198 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1199 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1200 with recommended workarounds.
1202 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1203 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1206 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1207 (yes, spelled like that).
1209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1210 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1212 * Moose::Meta::Class
1213 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1214 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1216 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1219 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1220 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1221 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1222 instead. Reported by doy.
1224 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1226 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1227 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1230 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1231 message) is now deprecated.
1232 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1233 often got it wrong. For example:
1235 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1237 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1241 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1242 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1243 bite you in weird cases.
1245 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1247 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1248 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1251 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1255 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1258 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1259 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1263 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1265 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1266 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1269 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1270 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1271 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1272 - added tests for this (stevan)
1274 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1275 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1276 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1277 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1281 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1282 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1283 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1284 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1286 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1287 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1288 - added tests for this (rafl)
1290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1291 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1292 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1293 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1297 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1298 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1301 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1302 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1303 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1305 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1307 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1308 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1310 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1311 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1312 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1313 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1314 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1317 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1318 error message did not specify the attribute name
1321 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1323 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1325 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1326 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1327 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1330 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1333 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1335 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1336 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1337 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1338 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1340 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1342 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1343 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1344 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1345 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1348 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1349 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1351 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1352 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1353 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1354 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1355 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1358 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1359 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1360 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1361 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1364 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1365 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1366 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1367 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1368 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1370 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1371 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1372 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1373 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1374 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1375 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1378 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1380 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1381 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1382 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1383 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1385 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1386 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1389 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1393 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1394 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1397 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1398 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1399 guts. (nothingmuch).
1401 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1403 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1406 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1407 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1408 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Class
1411 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1414 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1415 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1417 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1418 * Moose::Unsweetened
1419 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1422 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1424 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1425 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1426 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1427 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1430 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1431 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1432 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1433 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1434 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1435 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1436 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1437 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1438 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1440 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1442 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1443 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1445 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1446 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1447 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1448 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1451 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1452 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1453 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1454 same methods for a single role did not work
1455 right (worked just fine with multiple
1457 - added test for this (stevan)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1460 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1461 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1464 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1465 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1466 - added test for this (t0m)
1469 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1470 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1471 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1474 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1475 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1476 - added test for this (t0m)
1478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1479 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1480 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1481 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1482 - added test for this (perigrin)
1485 - create method for constructing a role
1486 dynamically (Sartak)
1487 - added test for this (Sartak)
1488 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1489 - added test for this (Sartak)
1492 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1494 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1495 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1496 methods is useful (Sartak)
1498 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1500 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1503 * Moose::Meta::Class
1504 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1505 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1506 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1507 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1508 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1509 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1512 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1513 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1517 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1518 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1519 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1521 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1523 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1524 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1525 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1528 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1529 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1530 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1531 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1532 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1533 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1537 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1538 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1539 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1540 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1541 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1542 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1543 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1544 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1545 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1546 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1548 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1549 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1552 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1553 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1554 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1555 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1556 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1558 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1560 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1561 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1562 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1565 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1568 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1569 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1570 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1573 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1574 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1576 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1578 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1579 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1581 * Moose::Meta::Class
1582 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1583 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1584 a required attribute
1586 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1588 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1589 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1591 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1592 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1594 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1595 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1596 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1597 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1598 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1599 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1600 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1601 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1604 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1605 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1607 * Roles and role application
1608 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1609 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1610 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1611 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1612 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1614 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1615 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1618 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1619 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1620 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1621 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1622 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1625 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1626 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1627 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1628 changes in the Moose internals.
1630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1631 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1632 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1636 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1637 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1638 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1641 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1642 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1643 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1646 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1647 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1648 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1649 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1650 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1651 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1652 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1653 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1654 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1655 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1656 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1657 constraint implementations.
1659 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1663 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1664 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1665 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1666 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1667 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1668 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1669 - added tests for this (rafl)
1671 * Moose::Meta::Class
1672 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1673 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1674 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1675 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1676 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1677 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1678 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1682 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1683 - added tests for this (thepler)
1685 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1686 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1687 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1688 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1691 * Moose::Meta::Class
1692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1693 * Moose::Meta::Method
1696 * Moose::Error::Default
1697 * Moose::Error::Croak
1698 * Moose::Error::Confess
1699 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1700 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1701 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1702 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1703 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1704 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1706 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1708 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1709 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1711 * Moose::Unsweetened
1712 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1713 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1714 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1717 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1718 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1719 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1720 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1723 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1724 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1726 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1727 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1728 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1729 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1732 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1734 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1735 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1737 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1740 - Various bug fixes.
1742 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1743 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1745 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1747 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1748 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1750 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1751 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1752 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1754 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1755 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1756 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1759 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1760 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1763 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1764 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1765 dependency to 0.64_07.
1767 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1768 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1769 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1772 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1775 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1776 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1777 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1778 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1779 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1780 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1783 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1785 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1788 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1792 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1793 method when that method was provided by another role being
1794 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1797 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1799 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1800 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1803 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1804 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1805 - added test for this (t0m)
1807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1808 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1809 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1811 - added test for this (t0m)
1814 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1815 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1816 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1819 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1820 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1822 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1824 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1825 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1828 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1829 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1831 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1832 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1837 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1838 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1842 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1843 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1844 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1847 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1848 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1849 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1850 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1853 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1857 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1858 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1859 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1861 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1863 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1864 created so that the process can be more easily
1865 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1867 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1868 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1869 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1870 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1873 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1876 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1877 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1880 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1881 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1883 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1884 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1885 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1887 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1888 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1890 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1891 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1894 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1895 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1899 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1900 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1902 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1903 ... this is not my day today ...
1905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1906 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1907 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1908 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1909 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1912 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1913 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1914 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1915 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1916 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1919 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1921 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1922 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1923 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1924 this is not ever something you want to do
1925 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1926 - added tests for this (stevan)
1929 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1931 - added test for this
1933 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1934 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1935 - added tests for this (wreis)
1937 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1938 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1939 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1940 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1942 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1943 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1944 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1947 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1949 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1951 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1954 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1955 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1956 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1957 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1958 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1959 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1960 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1961 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 - added tests for this
1964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1965 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1966 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1967 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1969 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1972 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1973 - added tests for this (sartak)
1974 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1975 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1978 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1980 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1981 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1983 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1984 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1985 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1986 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1988 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1990 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1991 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1994 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1995 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1996 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1999 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2000 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2002 - added docs for this (TODO).
2003 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2004 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2005 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2006 - fix builder and default both being used
2011 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2013 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2014 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2015 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2019 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2023 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2024 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2025 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2028 - move the ClassName type check code to
2029 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2031 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2032 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2034 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2035 (early morning release engineering)--
2037 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2038 which was causing the indexer to choke
2040 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2041 (late night release engineering)--
2043 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2044 changes in this release
2046 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2047 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2048 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2050 * Moose::Meta::Class

2074 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2075 XS based functionality is now optional
2076 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2077 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2078 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2097 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2098 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2152 ->body when looping through the
2153 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2155 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2156 eating the $@ values, and so not
2157 working correctly, it still kind of
2158 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2159 - added tests for this

2181 drink more coffee before
2182 doing release engineering
2184 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2299 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2301 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2302 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2345 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2346 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2638 - fixed how required methods are handled
2639 when they encounter overriden or modified
2640 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2641 - added tests for this
2643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2644 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2645 the | always creates a union and so is
2646 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2647 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2649 - added more tests for this
2651 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2654 * Parameterized Types
2655 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2656 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2657 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2658 They can also be nested:
2659 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2660 And work with the type unions as well:
2661 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2663 * Better Framework Extendability
2664 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2665 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2666 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2667 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2670 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2671 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2672 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2673 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2676 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2678 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2717 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2718 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2719 - updated the accompanying test as well

2850 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2851 - added tests for this
2853 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2855 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2898 functions to facilitate introspection.
2900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2907 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2908 so that you can actually document your
2909 attributes and inspect them through the

2916 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2917 then default to just loading $name.
2918 - added tests and docs for this
2920 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2921 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2922 - added test for this
2925 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2926 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2927 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2928 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2930 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2931 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2934 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2936 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2937 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2938 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2941 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2942 !! for this developer release to work !!
2944 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2945 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2946 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2947 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2948 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2949 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2950 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2951 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2952 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2953 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2954 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2956 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2957 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2958 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2959 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2962 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2964 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2965 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2966 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2968 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2970 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2971 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2974 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2975 called unless they actually need to be.
2976 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2977 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2978 DEMOLISH method present.
2980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2982 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2983 type constraint, which allows for a
2984 hand optimized version of the type
2985 constraint to be used when possible.
2986 - Any internally created type constraints
2987 now provide an optimized version as well.
2989 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2991 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2992 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2993 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2995 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2996 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2997 your class namespace of these exported
3000 * Moose::Meta::Class
3001 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3002 comes up during global destruction
3004 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3008 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3012 - changed how we do type checks so that
3013 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3016 - moved accessor generation methods to
3017 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3018 conform to the API changes from
3021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3022 - changed how constraints are compiled
3023 so that we do less recursion and more
3024 iteration. This makes the type check
3026 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3029 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3030 - created this from methods formerly found in
3031 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3044 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3045 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3046 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3047 - added tests for this
3048 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3049 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3050 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3051 - removed tests for this
3053 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3055 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3056 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3057 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3060 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3061 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3062 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3064 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3065 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3066 comments for more info.
3069 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3070 asked questions and common problems
3072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3073 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3074 - added tests for this
3076 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3077 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3078 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3079 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3081 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3082 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3085 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3086 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3087 is much appreciated :)
3088 - added tests for this
3090 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3091 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3092 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3096 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3098 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3100 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3101 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3105 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3106 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3107 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3109 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3111 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3114 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3115 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3116 keywords because we need to localize them.
3117 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3119 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3120 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3121 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3124 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3128 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3129 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3132 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3133 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3134 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3136 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3138 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3139 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3140 bottom of your class file.
3143 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3146 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3148 - improved error message when loading modules so
3149 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3150 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3151 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3154 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3155 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3156 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3159 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3161 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3162 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3163 turn them on for you.
3164 - added tests for this

3193 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3194 - This release works in combination with
3195 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3196 release because it uses the a new
3197 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3198 complete Role implementation. It has
3199 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3200 the the previous CPAN version. This
3201 release also lacks good updated docs,
3202 the official release will have updated docs.
3205 - refactored the keyword exports
3206 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3207 accepts more than one Role at a time

3218 string enumerations which can be used as
3220 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3223 - more careful checking of params to new()
3226 - much work done on the role composition
3227 - many new tests for conflict detection
3228 and composition edge cases
3229 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3230 looking at the tests
3232 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3233 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3234 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3255 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3256 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3257 on a per-attribute basis
3258 - added tests for this
3259 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3260 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3261 experimental feature and probably not finished
