1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
9 immutable classes). (mo)
11 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
12 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
13 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
15 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
16 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
17 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
18 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
20 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
24 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
26 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
28 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
32 * Fix some indexing issues.
34 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
36 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
40 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
41 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
42 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
43 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
44 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
46 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
47 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
52 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
53 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
54 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
55 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
57 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
58 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
59 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
63 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
64 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
66 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2010
70 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
73 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2010
77 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
78 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
79 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
81 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
85 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
86 policy. (Chris Prather)
88 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
89 on this new support policy. (doy)
93 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
94 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
95 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
97 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
98 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
100 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
104 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
105 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
106 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
107 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
110 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
114 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
115 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
118 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
122 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
123 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
125 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
126 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
130 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
131 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
132 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
133 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
134 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
135 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
137 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
138 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
140 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
141 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
142 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
143 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
145 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
146 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
153 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
154 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
156 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
160 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
161 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
162 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
164 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
168 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
169 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
170 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
172 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
173 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
176 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
177 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
180 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
181 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
182 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
184 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
185 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
190 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
191 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
192 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
193 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
196 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
198 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
199 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
201 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
202 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
203 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
204 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
206 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
207 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
208 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
211 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
212 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
213 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
214 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
216 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
217 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
220 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
221 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
222 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
224 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
228 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
229 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
230 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
232 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
233 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
234 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
237 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
238 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
239 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
241 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
242 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
243 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
245 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
246 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
250 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
251 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
252 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
254 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
255 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
256 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
257 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
259 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
263 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
264 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
265 value is a reference.
267 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
268 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
270 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
274 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
275 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
276 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
278 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
282 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
283 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
287 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
288 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
289 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
291 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
292 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
293 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
295 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
299 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
301 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
305 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
307 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
308 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
313 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
314 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
316 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
317 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
318 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
319 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
320 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
322 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
323 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
324 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
325 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
327 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
331 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
332 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
337 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
339 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
341 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
346 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
348 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
352 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
353 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
354 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
356 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
357 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
358 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
359 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
361 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
362 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
363 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
364 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
365 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
368 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
373 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
374 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
375 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
376 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
377 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
380 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
384 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
387 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
388 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
392 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
393 function (not just method). (doy)
397 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
398 and aren't easily installable/testable.
400 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
404 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
405 to be overridden more easily (doy).
407 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
411 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
412 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
414 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
418 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
419 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
420 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
422 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
426 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
427 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
428 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
430 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
431 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
435 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
436 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
438 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
439 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
443 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
444 is applied to a class (t0m).
446 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
447 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
449 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
452 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
453 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
455 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
456 be much more robust. (doy)
458 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
460 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
463 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
467 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
468 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
470 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
474 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
475 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
477 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
480 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
481 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
482 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
484 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
485 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
486 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
489 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
491 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
495 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
496 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
500 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
502 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
507 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
511 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
512 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
516 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
518 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
522 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
523 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
527 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
528 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
532 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
533 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
535 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
539 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
540 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
541 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
544 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
548 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
549 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
550 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
551 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
553 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
557 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
558 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
559 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
563 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
566 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
571 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
572 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
576 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
577 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
579 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
580 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
581 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
582 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
584 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
588 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
592 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
593 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
595 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
596 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
597 - Moose::Util::does_role
598 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
599 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
600 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
602 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
606 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
607 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
608 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
611 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
615 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
616 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
619 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
623 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
624 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
627 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
631 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
633 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
634 class. (Dave Rolsky).
636 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
637 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
638 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
640 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
641 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
642 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
645 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
646 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
648 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
649 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
650 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
652 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
654 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
655 substr et al, again. (sorear)
657 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
659 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
662 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
663 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
665 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
666 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
668 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
669 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
670 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
671 dependencies installed.
673 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
674 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
677 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
679 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
683 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
686 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
687 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
690 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
691 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
693 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
694 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
697 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
698 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
699 others. (nothingmuch)
701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
702 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
703 remove_accessors. (doy)
705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
706 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
707 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
710 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
712 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
714 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
715 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
718 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
719 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
721 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
722 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
724 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
726 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
727 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
730 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
731 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
732 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
733 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
734 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
736 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
739 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
740 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
741 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
742 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
745 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
746 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
747 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
748 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
749 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
751 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
752 which were not receiving the value of
753 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
754 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
755 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
756 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
760 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
761 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
762 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
763 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
764 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
768 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
769 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
770 - added tests for this (Stevan)
773 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
774 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
775 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
778 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
780 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
783 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
784 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
787 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
788 class if you pass it options for
789 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
790 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
791 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
792 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
793 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
794 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
795 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
796 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
797 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
799 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
800 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
801 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
802 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
803 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
806 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
808 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
809 existing delegation API. (hdp)
811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
812 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
813 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
814 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
815 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
816 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
819 * Moose::Error::Croak
820 * Moose::Error::Confess
821 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
822 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
825 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
828 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
829 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
830 installing a broken sub. (doy)
833 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
836 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
837 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
838 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
840 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
841 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
842 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
843 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
844 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
846 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
847 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
850 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
852 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
853 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
856 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
857 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
861 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
862 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
865 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
866 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
867 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
868 using it for new code!
870 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
871 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
872 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
873 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
875 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
876 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
877 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
878 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
879 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
880 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
881 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
882 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
885 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
888 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
889 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
893 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
895 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
896 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
897 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
900 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
901 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
902 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
905 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
906 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
909 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
910 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
913 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
915 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
916 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
917 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
918 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
920 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
922 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
926 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
927 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
929 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
930 associated_methods. (hdp)
931 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
932 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
933 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
934 misspelled) arguments
936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
937 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
938 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
939 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
943 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
945 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
949 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
950 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
953 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
954 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
956 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
958 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
959 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
961 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
962 * Moose::Manual::Types
963 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
964 string parsing rathole (mst)
966 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
967 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
968 using plain objects instead
970 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
971 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
974 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
976 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
977 three times today (perigrin)
978 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
979 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
981 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
982 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
983 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
984 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
987 - A role's required methods are now represented by
988 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
989 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
990 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
991 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
992 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
995 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
996 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
997 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
998 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1001 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1003 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1006 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1008 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1011 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1012 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1013 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1017 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1018 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1021 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1022 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1024 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1025 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1026 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1028 * Moose::Unsweetened
1029 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1031 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1032 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1035 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1039 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1040 methods during global destruction (doy)
1042 * Moose::Meta::Class
1043 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1044 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1045 consumption (Sartak)
1047 * Moose::Meta::Class
1048 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1049 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1052 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1053 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1056 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1057 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1059 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1061 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1065 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1066 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1067 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1070 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1071 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1072 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1075 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1077 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1078 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1079 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1083 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1084 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1085 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1088 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1089 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1092 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1095 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1096 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1097 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1101 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1102 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Class
1105 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1107 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1109 * Moose::Meta::Class
1110 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1111 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1114 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1115 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1118 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1119 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1122 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1125 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1128 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1131 * Moose::Meta::Class
1132 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1134 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1135 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1138 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1139 * More deprecations and renamings
1140 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1141 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1142 when an object is constructed)
1145 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1146 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1147 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1150 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1151 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1152 feature, and it works again.
1155 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1157 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1159 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1160 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1161 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1163 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1164 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1165 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1166 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1167 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1170 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1171 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1172 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1173 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1176 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1177 metaclass object. (hdp)
1179 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1180 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1181 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1182 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1183 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1184 point out this fact. (hdp)
1186 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1187 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1189 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1190 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1192 * Moose::Meta::Class
1193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1194 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1195 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1196 called during instance construction were passed the
1197 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1198 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1200 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1201 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1205 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1206 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1209 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1210 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1211 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1212 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1213 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1215 - Moose::Meta::Class
1216 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1218 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1219 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1220 when an object is constructed)
1221 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1223 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1224 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1225 when an object is constructed)
1226 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1227 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1228 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1231 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1233 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1234 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1236 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1238 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1239 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1240 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1243 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1244 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1246 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1248 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1249 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1251 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1252 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1256 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1259 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1260 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1261 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1264 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1268 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1269 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1270 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1273 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1276 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1277 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1278 with recommended workarounds.
1280 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1281 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1284 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1285 (yes, spelled like that).
1287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1288 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1290 * Moose::Meta::Class
1291 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1292 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1294 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1297 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1298 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1299 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1300 instead. Reported by doy.
1302 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1304 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1305 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1308 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1309 message) is now deprecated.
1310 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1311 often got it wrong. For example:
1313 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1315 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1319 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1320 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1321 bite you in weird cases.
1323 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1324 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1325 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1326 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1329 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1333 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1336 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1337 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1340 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1341 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1344 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1347 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1349 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1350 - added tests for this (stevan)
1352 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1353 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1354 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1355 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1359 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1360 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1361 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1362 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1364 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1365 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1366 - added tests for this (rafl)
1368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1369 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1370 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1371 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1375 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1376 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1379 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1380 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1381 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1383 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1385 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1386 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1388 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1389 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1390 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1391 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1392 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1395 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1396 error message did not specify the attribute name
1399 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1401 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1403 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1404 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1405 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1408 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1411 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1413 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1414 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1415 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1416 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1418 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1420 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1421 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1422 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1423 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1426 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1427 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1429 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1430 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1431 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1432 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1433 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1436 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1437 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1438 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1439 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1442 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1443 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1444 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1445 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1446 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1448 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1449 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1450 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1451 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1452 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1453 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1456 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1458 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1459 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1460 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1461 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1464 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1467 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1471 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1472 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1474 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1475 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1476 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1477 guts. (nothingmuch).
1479 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1481 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1484 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1485 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1486 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1488 * Moose::Meta::Class
1489 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1492 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1493 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1495 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1496 * Moose::Unsweetened
1497 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1500 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1501 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1502 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1503 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1504 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1505 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1508 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1509 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1510 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1511 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1512 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1513 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1514 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1515 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1516 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1520 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1521 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1524 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1525 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1526 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1528 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1529 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1530 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1531 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1532 same methods for a single role did not work
1533 right (worked just fine with multiple
1535 - added test for this (stevan)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1538 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1539 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1542 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1543 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1544 - added test for this (t0m)
1547 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1548 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1549 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1552 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1553 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1554 - added test for this (t0m)
1556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1557 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1558 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1559 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1560 - added test for this (perigrin)
1563 - create method for constructing a role
1564 dynamically (Sartak)
1565 - added test for this (Sartak)
1566 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1567 - added test for this (Sartak)
1570 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1572 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1573 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1574 methods is useful (Sartak)
1576 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1578 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1581 * Moose::Meta::Class
1582 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1583 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1584 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1585 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1586 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1590 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1591 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1593 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1594 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1595 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1596 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1597 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1601 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1602 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1606 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1607 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1608 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1609 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1610 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1611 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1615 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1616 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1617 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1618 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1619 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1620 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1621 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1622 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1623 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1624 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1626 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1627 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1631 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1632 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1633 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1634 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1636 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1638 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1639 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1640 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1643 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1646 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1647 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1648 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1651 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1652 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1654 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1656 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1657 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1659 * Moose::Meta::Class
1660 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1661 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1662 a required attribute
1664 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1666 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1667 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1669 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1670 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1672 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1673 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1674 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1675 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1676 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1677 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1678 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1679 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1681 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1682 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1683 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1685 * Roles and role application
1686 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1687 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1688 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1689 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1690 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1692 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1693 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1697 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1698 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1699 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1700 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1703 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1704 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1705 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1706 changes in the Moose internals.
1708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1710 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1713 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1714 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1715 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1716 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1718 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1719 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1720 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1721 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1723 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1724 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1725 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1726 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1727 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1728 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1729 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1730 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1731 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1732 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1733 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1734 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1735 constraint implementations.
1737 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1741 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1742 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1743 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1744 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1745 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1746 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 - added tests for this (rafl)
1749 * Moose::Meta::Class
1750 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1751 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1752 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1753 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1754 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1755 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1756 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1760 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1761 - added tests for this (thepler)
1763 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1764 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1765 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1766 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1769 * Moose::Meta::Class
1770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1771 * Moose::Meta::Method
1774 * Moose::Error::Default
1775 * Moose::Error::Croak
1776 * Moose::Error::Confess
1777 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1778 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1779 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1780 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1781 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1782 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1784 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1786 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1787 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1789 * Moose::Unsweetened
1790 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1791 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1792 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1794 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1795 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1796 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1797 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1798 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1801 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1802 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1804 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1805 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1806 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1807 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1810 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1812 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1813 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1815 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1818 - Various bug fixes.
1820 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1821 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1823 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1825 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1826 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1828 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1829 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1830 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1833 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1834 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1838 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1841 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1842 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1843 dependency to 0.64_07.
1845 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1846 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1847 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1850 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1853 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1854 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1855 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1856 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1857 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1858 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1861 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1863 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1866 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1870 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1871 method when that method was provided by another role being
1872 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1875 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1877 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1878 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1881 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1882 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1883 - added test for this (t0m)
1885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1886 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1887 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1889 - added test for this (t0m)
1892 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1893 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1894 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1897 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1898 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1900 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1902 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1903 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1905 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1906 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1907 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1909 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1910 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1914 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1915 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1916 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1920 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1921 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1922 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1925 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1926 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1927 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1928 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1931 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1935 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1936 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1937 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1939 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1941 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1942 created so that the process can be more easily
1943 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1945 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1946 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1947 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1948 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1951 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1954 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1955 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1957 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1958 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1959 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1961 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1962 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1963 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1965 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1966 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1969 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1972 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1973 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1977 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1978 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1980 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1981 ... this is not my day today ...
1983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1984 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1985 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1986 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1987 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1990 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1991 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1992 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1993 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1994 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1997 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1999 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2000 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2001 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2002 this is not ever something you want to do
2003 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2004 - added tests for this (stevan)
2007 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2009 - added test for this
2011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2012 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2013 - added tests for this (wreis)
2015 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2016 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2017 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2018 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2020 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2021 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2022 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2025 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2027 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2029 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2032 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2033 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2034 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2035 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2036 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2037 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2038 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2039 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2040 - added tests for this
2042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2043 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2733 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2734 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2735 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2736 They can also be nested:
2737 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2738 And work with the type unions as well:
2739 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2741 * Better Framework Extendability
2742 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2743 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2744 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2745 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2748 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2749 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2750 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2751 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2754 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2756 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2757 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2760 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2796 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2797 - updated the accompanying test as well
2799 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2800 +++ with new features added as well +++
2802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2806 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2808 - added tests for this
2810 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2816 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2817 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2819 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2836 (thanks to shlomif).
2838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2839 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2840 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2841 - added tests for this
2842 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2844 - added tests for this

2878 - added tests for these
2880 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2881 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2883 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2884 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2885 to the 'handles' option.
2886 - added tests and docs for this
2887 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2888 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2889 (but not changing the handles option)
2890 - added tests and docs for this
2893 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2894 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2895 - adjusted tests for this
2897 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2898 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2899 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2902 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2904 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2905 the other side (perigrin)
2907 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2908 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2909 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2910 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2911 prototypes for functions
2912 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2913 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2914 - added tests and docs for this

2921 merlyn for finding this bug
2922 - tests added for this
2923 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2926 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2927 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2928 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2929 - added tests for this
2931 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2933 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2949 * Moose::Meta::Class
2950 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2951 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2952 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2954 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2955 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2957 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2958 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2959 so this release is just to fix that.
2962 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2963 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2964 (thanks to konobi for this)
2965 - added tests and docs
2967 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2971 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2972 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2973 - added tests for this

2975 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2976 functions to facilitate introspection.
2978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2979 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2980 to build the list of delegated methods
2981 correctly (and not override important
2982 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2984 - added tests and docs for this
2985 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2986 so that you can actually document your
2987 attributes and inspect them through the
2989 - added tests and docs for this
2991 * Moose::Meta::Class
2992 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2993 it will first look in for the class in the
2994 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2995 then default to just loading $name.
2996 - added tests and docs for this
2998 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2999 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3000 - added test for this
3003 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3004 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3005 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3006 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3008 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3009 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3012 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3014 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3015 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3016 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3019 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3020 !! for this developer release to work !!
3022 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3023 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3024 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3025 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3026 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3027 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3028 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3029 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3030 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3031 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3032 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3034 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3035 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3036 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3037 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3040 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3042 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3043 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3044 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3046 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3048 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3049 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3052 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3053 called unless they actually need to be.
3054 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3055 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3056 DEMOLISH method present.
3058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3059 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3060 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3061 type constraint, which allows for a
3062 hand optimized version of the type
3063 constraint to be used when possible.
3064 - Any internally created type constraints
3065 now provide an optimized version as well.
3067 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3069 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3070 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3071 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3074 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3075 your class namespace of these exported
3078 * Moose::Meta::Class
3079 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3080 comes up during global destruction
3082 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3086 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3090 - changed how we do type checks so that
3091 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3094 - moved accessor generation methods to
3095 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3096 conform to the API changes from
3099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3100 - changed how constraints are compiled
3101 so that we do less recursion and more
3102 iteration. This makes the type check
3104 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3108 - created this from methods formerly found in
3109 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3111 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3112 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3115 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3118 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3120 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3123 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3124 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3125 - added tests for this
3126 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3127 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3128 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3129 - removed tests for this
3131 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3133 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3134 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3135 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3138 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3139 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3140 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3142 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3143 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3144 comments for more info.
3147 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3148 asked questions and common problems
3150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3151 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3152 - added tests for this
3154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3155 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3156 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3157 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3159 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3160 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3163 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3164 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3165 is much appreciated :)
3166 - added tests for this
3168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3169 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3170 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3174 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3176 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3178 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3179 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3183 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3184 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3185 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3187 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3189 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3192 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3193 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3194 keywords because we need to localize them.
3195 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3197 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3198 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3199 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3202 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3205 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3206 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3207 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3210 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3211 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3212 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3214 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3216 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3217 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3218 bottom of your class file.
3221 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3224 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3226 - improved error message when loading modules so
3227 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3228 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3229 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3232 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3233 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3234 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3236 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3237 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3239 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3240 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3241 turn them on for you.
3242 - added tests for this
3243 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3244 in Moose::Meta::Class

3271 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3272 - This release works in combination with
3273 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3274 release because it uses the a new
3275 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3276 complete Role implementation. It has
3277 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3278 the the previous CPAN version. This
3279 release also lacks good updated docs,
3280 the official release will have updated docs.
3283 - refactored the keyword exports
3284 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3285 accepts more than one Role at a time
3286 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3287 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3290 - refactored the keyword exports
3291 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3292 accepts more than one Role at a time
3294 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3296 string enumerations which can be used as
3298 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3301 - more careful checking of params to new()
3304 - much work done on the role composition
3305 - many new tests for conflict detection
3306 and composition edge cases
3307 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3308 looking at the tests
3310 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3311 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3312 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3314 * Moose::Meta::Class

3327 - no docs for this yet
3329 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3331 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3332 thanks to chansen for this commit
3333 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3334 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3335 on a per-attribute basis
3336 - added tests for this
3337 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3338 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3339 experimental feature and probably not finished
3340 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3341 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3342 - added tests for this
3345 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3357 construct_instance (for the better)
3359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3404 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3406 - added test for this
3409 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
