1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
9 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
14 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
15 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster.
20 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
21 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
22 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
24 * Type constraints can now inline their constraint checks. This replaces the
25 existing hand-optimized constraint feature.
29 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
31 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
35 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
36 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
38 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
42 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
44 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
48 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
50 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
51 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
53 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
57 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
58 skips every other role. (rjbs)
60 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
61 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
62 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
63 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
64 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
66 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
70 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
71 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
72 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
75 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
80 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
82 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
83 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
85 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
89 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
90 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
91 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
95 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
96 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
98 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
99 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
101 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
102 environments. (doy, mateu)
104 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
108 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
109 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
110 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
111 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
115 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
116 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
118 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
122 * Update conflicts list.
125 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
129 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
130 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
131 details. (Dave Rolsky)
133 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
134 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
135 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
136 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
137 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
141 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
142 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
143 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
144 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
145 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
148 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
152 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
153 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
155 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
158 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
162 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
163 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
164 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
165 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
167 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
168 immutable classes). (mo)
170 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
171 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
172 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
174 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
178 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
180 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
182 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
186 * Fix some indexing issues.
188 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
190 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
194 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
195 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
196 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
197 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
198 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
200 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
201 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
206 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
207 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
208 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
209 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
211 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
212 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
213 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
217 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
218 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
221 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
225 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
226 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
230 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
234 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
235 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
236 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
237 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
240 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
244 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
247 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
251 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
252 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
253 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
256 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
260 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
261 policy. (Chris Prather)
263 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
264 on this new support policy. (doy)
268 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
269 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
270 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
272 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
273 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
275 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
279 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
280 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
281 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
282 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
285 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
289 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
290 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
293 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
297 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
298 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
300 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
301 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
305 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
306 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
307 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
308 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
309 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
310 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
312 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
313 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
315 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
316 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
317 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
318 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
320 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
321 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
323 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
328 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
329 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
331 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
335 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
336 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
337 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
339 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
343 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
344 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
345 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
347 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
348 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
351 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
352 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
355 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
356 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
357 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
359 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
360 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
365 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
366 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
367 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
368 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
370 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
371 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
373 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
374 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
376 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
377 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
378 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
379 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
381 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
382 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
383 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
386 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
387 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
388 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
389 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
391 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
392 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
395 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
396 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
397 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
399 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
403 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
404 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
405 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
407 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
408 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
409 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
412 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
413 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
414 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
416 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
417 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
418 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
420 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
421 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
425 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
426 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
427 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
429 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
430 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
431 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
432 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
434 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
438 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
439 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
440 value is a reference.
442 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
443 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
445 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
449 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
450 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
451 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
453 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
457 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
458 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
462 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
463 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
464 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
466 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
467 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
468 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
470 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
474 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
476 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
480 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
482 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
483 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
488 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
489 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
491 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
492 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
493 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
494 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
495 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
498 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
499 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
500 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
502 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
506 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
507 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
512 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
514 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
516 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
521 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
523 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
527 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
528 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
529 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
531 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
532 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
533 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
534 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
536 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
537 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
538 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
539 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
540 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
543 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
548 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
549 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
550 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
551 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
552 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
555 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
559 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
562 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
563 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
567 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
568 function (not just method). (doy)
572 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
573 and aren't easily installable/testable.
575 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
579 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
580 to be overridden more easily (doy).
582 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
586 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
587 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
589 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
593 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
594 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
595 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
597 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
601 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
602 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
603 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
605 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
606 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
610 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
611 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
613 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
614 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
618 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
619 is applied to a class (t0m).
621 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
622 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
624 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
627 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
628 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
630 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
631 be much more robust. (doy)
633 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
635 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
638 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
642 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
643 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
645 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
649 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
650 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
652 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
655 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
656 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
657 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
659 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
660 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
661 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
664 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
666 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
670 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
671 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
675 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
677 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
682 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
686 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
687 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
691 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
693 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
697 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
698 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
702 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
703 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
707 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
708 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
710 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
714 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
715 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
716 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
719 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
723 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
724 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
725 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
726 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
728 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
732 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
733 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
734 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
738 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
741 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
746 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
747 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
751 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
752 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
754 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
755 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
756 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
757 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
759 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
763 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
767 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
768 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
770 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
771 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
772 - Moose::Util::does_role
773 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
774 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
775 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
777 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
781 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
782 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
783 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
786 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
790 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
791 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
794 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
798 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
799 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
802 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
806 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
808 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
809 class. (Dave Rolsky).
811 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
812 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
813 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
815 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
816 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
817 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
820 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
821 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
823 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
824 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
825 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
827 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
829 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
830 substr et al, again. (sorear)
832 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
834 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
837 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
838 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
840 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
841 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
843 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
844 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
845 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
846 dependencies installed.
848 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
849 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
852 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
854 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
858 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
861 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
862 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
865 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
866 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
868 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
869 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
872 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
873 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
874 others. (nothingmuch)
876 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
877 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
878 remove_accessors. (doy)
880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
881 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
882 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
885 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
887 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
888 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
889 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
890 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
893 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
894 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
896 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
897 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
899 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
901 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
902 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
905 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
906 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
907 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
908 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
909 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
911 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
912 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
914 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
915 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
916 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
917 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
920 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
921 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
922 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
923 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
924 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
926 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
927 which were not receiving the value of
928 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
929 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
930 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
931 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
935 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
936 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
937 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
938 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
939 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
943 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
944 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
945 - added tests for this (Stevan)
948 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
949 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
950 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
953 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
955 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
958 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
959 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
962 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
963 class if you pass it options for
964 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
965 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
966 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
967 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
968 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
969 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
970 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
971 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
972 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
974 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
975 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
976 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
977 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
978 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
981 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
983 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
984 existing delegation API. (hdp)
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
987 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
988 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
989 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
990 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
991 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
994 * Moose::Error::Croak
995 * Moose::Error::Confess
996 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
997 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1000 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1003 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1004 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1005 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Class
1008 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1011 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1012 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1013 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1016 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1017 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1018 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1019 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1022 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1025 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1027 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1028 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1031 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1032 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1034 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1036 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1037 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1040 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1041 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1042 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1043 using it for new code!
1045 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1046 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1047 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1048 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1050 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1051 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1052 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1053 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1054 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1055 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1056 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1057 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1060 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1063 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1064 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1068 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1070 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1071 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1072 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1074 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1076 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1077 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1079 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1080 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1081 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1084 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1085 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1088 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1090 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1091 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1092 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1093 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1095 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1097 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1100 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1101 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1102 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1104 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1105 associated_methods. (hdp)
1106 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1107 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1108 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1109 misspelled) arguments
1111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1112 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1113 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1114 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1118 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1120 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1125 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1128 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1129 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1131 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1132 * Moose::Meta::Class
1133 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1134 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1136 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1137 * Moose::Manual::Types
1138 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1139 string parsing rathole (mst)
1141 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1142 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1143 using plain objects instead
1145 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1146 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1147 that's what we need.
1149 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1150 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1151 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1152 three times today (perigrin)
1153 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1154 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1157 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1158 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1159 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1162 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1163 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1164 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1165 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1166 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1167 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1170 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1171 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1172 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1173 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1176 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1178 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1181 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1183 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1186 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1187 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1188 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1192 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1193 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1196 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1197 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1199 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1200 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1201 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1203 * Moose::Unsweetened
1204 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1206 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1207 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1210 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1214 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1215 methods during global destruction (doy)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Class
1218 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1219 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1220 consumption (Sartak)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1224 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1227 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1228 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1231 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1232 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1234 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1236 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1240 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1241 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1242 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1245 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1246 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1247 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1250 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1252 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1254 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1258 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1259 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1260 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1263 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1264 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1267 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1270 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1271 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1272 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1276 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1277 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Class
1280 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1282 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1284 * Moose::Meta::Class
1285 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1286 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1289 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1290 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1293 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1294 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1297 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1300 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1303 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1306 * Moose::Meta::Class
1307 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1310 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1313 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1314 * More deprecations and renamings
1315 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1316 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1317 when an object is constructed)
1320 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1321 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1322 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1324 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1325 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1326 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1327 feature, and it works again.
1330 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1332 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1334 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1335 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1336 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1339 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1340 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1341 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1342 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1345 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1346 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1347 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1348 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1351 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1352 metaclass object. (hdp)
1354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1356 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1358 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1359 point out this fact. (hdp)
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1362 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1364 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1365 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1367 * Moose::Meta::Class
1368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1369 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1370 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1371 called during instance construction were passed the
1372 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1373 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1375 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1376 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1379 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1380 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1381 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1384 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1385 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1386 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1387 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1388 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1390 - Moose::Meta::Class
1391 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1393 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1394 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1395 when an object is constructed)
1396 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1398 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1399 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1400 when an object is constructed)
1401 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1402 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1403 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1406 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1408 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1409 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1411 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1413 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1414 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1415 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1419 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1421 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1423 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1424 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1426 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1427 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1430 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1431 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1434 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1435 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1436 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1439 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1443 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1444 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1445 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1448 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1451 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1452 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1453 with recommended workarounds.
1455 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1456 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1459 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1460 (yes, spelled like that).
1462 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1463 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1465 * Moose::Meta::Class
1466 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1467 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1469 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1472 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1473 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1474 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1475 instead. Reported by doy.
1477 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1479 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1480 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1483 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1484 message) is now deprecated.
1485 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1486 often got it wrong. For example:
1488 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1490 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1494 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1495 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1496 bite you in weird cases.
1498 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1499 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1500 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1501 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1503 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1504 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1508 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1511 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1512 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1516 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1518 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1519 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1522 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1524 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1525 - added tests for this (stevan)
1527 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1528 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1529 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1530 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1534 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1535 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1536 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1537 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1539 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1540 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1541 - added tests for this (rafl)
1543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1544 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1545 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1546 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1550 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1551 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1554 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1555 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1556 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1558 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1560 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1561 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1563 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1564 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1565 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1566 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1567 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1570 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1571 error message did not specify the attribute name
1574 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1576 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1578 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1579 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1580 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1583 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1586 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1588 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1589 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1590 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1591 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1593 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1595 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1596 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1597 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1598 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1600 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1601 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1602 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1605 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1606 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1607 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1608 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1611 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1612 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1613 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1614 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1617 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1618 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1619 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1620 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1621 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1623 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1624 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1625 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1626 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1627 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1628 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1631 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1633 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1634 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1635 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1636 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1639 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1642 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1646 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1647 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1649 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1650 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1651 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1652 guts. (nothingmuch).
1654 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1656 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1659 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1660 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1661 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1663 * Moose::Meta::Class
1664 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1667 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1668 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1671 * Moose::Unsweetened
1672 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1675 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1676 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1677 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1678 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1679 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1680 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1683 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1684 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1685 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1686 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1687 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1688 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1690 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1691 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1693 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1695 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1696 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1699 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1700 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1701 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1703 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1704 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1705 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1706 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1707 same methods for a single role did not work
1708 right (worked just fine with multiple
1710 - added test for this (stevan)
1712 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1713 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1714 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1717 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1718 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1719 - added test for this (t0m)
1722 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1723 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1724 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1727 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1728 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1729 - added test for this (t0m)
1731 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1732 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1733 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1734 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1735 - added test for this (perigrin)
1738 - create method for constructing a role
1739 dynamically (Sartak)
1740 - added test for this (Sartak)
1741 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1742 - added test for this (Sartak)
1745 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1747 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1748 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1749 methods is useful (Sartak)
1751 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1753 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1756 * Moose::Meta::Class
1757 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1758 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1759 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1760 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1761 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1762 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1765 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1766 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1770 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1771 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1772 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1774 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1776 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1777 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1778 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1781 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1782 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1783 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1784 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1785 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1786 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1790 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1791 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1792 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1793 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1794 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1795 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1796 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1797 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1798 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1799 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1802 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1806 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1807 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1808 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1809 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1811 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1813 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1814 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1815 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1818 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1821 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1822 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1823 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1827 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1829 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1831 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1832 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1834 * Moose::Meta::Class
1835 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1836 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1837 a required attribute
1839 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1840 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1841 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1842 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1844 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1845 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1847 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1848 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1849 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1850 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1851 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1852 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1853 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1854 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1856 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1857 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1858 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1860 * Roles and role application
1861 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1862 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1863 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1864 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1865 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1867 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1868 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1871 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1872 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1873 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1874 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1875 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1878 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1879 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1880 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1881 changes in the Moose internals.
1883 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1885 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1888 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1889 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1890 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1891 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1893 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1894 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1895 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1896 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1899 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1900 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1901 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1902 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1903 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1904 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1905 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1906 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1907 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1908 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1909 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1910 constraint implementations.
1912 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1916 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1917 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1918 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1919 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1920 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1921 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1922 - added tests for this (rafl)
1924 * Moose::Meta::Class
1925 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1926 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1927 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1928 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1929 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1930 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1931 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1935 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1936 - added tests for this (thepler)
1938 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1939 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1940 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1941 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1944 * Moose::Meta::Class
1945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1946 * Moose::Meta::Method
1949 * Moose::Error::Default
1950 * Moose::Error::Croak
1951 * Moose::Error::Confess
1952 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1953 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1954 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1955 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1956 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1957 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1959 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1961 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1962 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1964 * Moose::Unsweetened
1965 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1966 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1967 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1970 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1971 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1972 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1973 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1976 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1977 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1979 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1980 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1981 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1982 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1985 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1987 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1988 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1990 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1993 - Various bug fixes.
1995 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1996 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1998 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2000 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2001 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2002 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2003 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2004 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2005 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2008 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2009 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2012 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2013 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2016 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2017 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2018 dependency to 0.64_07.
2020 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2021 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2022 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2025 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2029 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2030 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2031 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2032 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2033 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2036 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2038 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2040 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2041 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2045 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2046 method when that method was provided by another role being
2047 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2048 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2050 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2052 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2053 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2055 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2056 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2057 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2058 - added test for this (t0m)
2060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2061 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2062 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2064 - added test for this (t0m)
2067 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

2097 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2100 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2101 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2102 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

2153 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2155 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2156 ... this is not my day today ...
2158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2159 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2160 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2161 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2162 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2165 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2166 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2167 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2168 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2169 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2172 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2174 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2175 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2207 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2208 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2209 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2210 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2211 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2212 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2213 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2214 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2215 - added tests for this
2217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2218 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2219 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2328 XS based functionality is now optional
2329 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2330 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2331 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2434 drink more coffee before
2435 doing release engineering
2437 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2754 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2755 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2759 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2761 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2762 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2763 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2765 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2766 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2778 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2779 - added tests for this
2781 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2784 types without having to explictly define them
2785 - added tests for this
2787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2788 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2789 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2791 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2793 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2794 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2795 - added tests for this
2796 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2797 a single type at different times instead of
2798 having to do it all in one place
2799 - added tests for this
2801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2802 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2803 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2806 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2807 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2808 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2809 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2813 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2815 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2817 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2818 - added tests for this.
2819 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2820 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2821 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2822 - added tests for this
2823 - added docs for this
2825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2826 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2827 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2828 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2829 instead it will just return undef.
2830 - added docs for this
2832 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2844 with work correctly.
2845 - added tests for this
2848 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2849 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2852 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2853 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2854 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2856 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2888 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2891 - fixed how required methods are handled
2892 when they encounter overriden or modified
2893 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2894 - added tests for this
2896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2897 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2898 the | always creates a union and so is
2899 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2900 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2902 - added more tests for this
2904 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2907 * Parameterized Types
2908 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2909 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2910 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2911 They can also be nested:
2912 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2913 And work with the type unions as well:
2914 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2916 * Better Framework Extendability
2917 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2918 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2919 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2920 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2923 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2924 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2925 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2926 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2929 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2931 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2932 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2935 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2936 set it to inline the accessors

2962 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2963 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2965 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2966 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2967 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2968 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2970 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2971 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2972 - updated the accompanying test as well
2974 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2975 +++ with new features added as well +++
2977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2978 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2979 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2980 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2981 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2983 - added tests for this
2985 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2986 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2987 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2988 can track where the type constraints are created
2990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2991 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2992 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2994 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2995 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2996 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2997 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3011 (thanks to shlomif).
3013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3014 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3015 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3016 - added tests for this

3019 - added tests for this
3021 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3064 (but not changing the handles option)
3065 - added tests and docs for this
3068 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3069 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3070 - adjusted tests for this
3072 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3073 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3074 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3080 the other side (perigrin)
3082 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3084 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3085 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3086 prototypes for functions
3087 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3088 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3098 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3101 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3102 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3103 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3104 - added tests for this
3106 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3108 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3121 where not handled correctly in roles
3122 - added tests for this
3124 * Moose::Meta::Class
3125 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3126 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3127 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3129 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3130 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3132 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3133 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3134 so this release is just to fix that.
3137 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3138 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3139 (thanks to konobi for this)
3140 - added tests and docs
3142 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3143 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3146 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3147 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3148 - added tests for this
3149 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3150 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3151 functions to facilitate introspection.
3153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3154 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3155 to build the list of delegated methods
3156 correctly (and not override important
3157 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3159 - added tests and docs for this
3160 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3161 so that you can actually document your
3162 attributes and inspect them through the
3164 - added tests and docs for this
3166 * Moose::Meta::Class
3167 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3168 it will first look in for the class in the
3169 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3170 then default to just loading $name.
3171 - added tests and docs for this
3173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3174 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3175 - added test for this
3178 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3179 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3180 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3181 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3183 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3184 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3187 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3189 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3190 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3191 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3194 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3195 !! for this developer release to work !!
3197 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3198 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3199 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3200 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3201 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3202 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3203 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3204 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3205 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3206 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3207 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3209 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3210 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3211 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3212 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3215 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3216 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3217 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3218 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3219 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3221 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3223 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3224 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3227 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3228 called unless they actually need to be.
3229 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3230 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3231 DEMOLISH method present.
3233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3235 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3236 type constraint, which allows for a
3237 hand optimized version of the type
3238 constraint to be used when possible.
3239 - Any internally created type constraints
3240 now provide an optimized version as well.
3242 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3244 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3245 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3246 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3249 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3250 your class namespace of these exported
3253 * Moose::Meta::Class
3254 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3255 comes up during global destruction
3257 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3261 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3265 - changed how we do type checks so that
3266 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3269 - moved accessor generation methods to
3270 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3271 conform to the API changes from
3274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3275 - changed how constraints are compiled
3276 so that we do less recursion and more
3277 iteration. This makes the type check
3279 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3283 - created this from methods formerly found in
3284 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3286 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3287 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3290 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3292 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3293 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3295 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3298 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3299 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3300 - added tests for this
3301 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3302 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3303 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3304 - removed tests for this
3306 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3308 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3309 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3310 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3313 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3314 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3315 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3317 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3318 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3319 comments for more info.
3322 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3323 asked questions and common problems
3325 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3326 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3327 - added tests for this
3329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3330 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3331 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3332 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3334 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3335 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3338 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3339 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3340 is much appreciated :)
3341 - added tests for this
3343 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3344 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3345 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3348 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3349 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3351 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3353 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3354 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3358 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3359 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3360 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3362 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3364 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3367 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3368 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3369 keywords because we need to localize them.
3370 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3372 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3373 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3374 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3377 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3380 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3381 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3382 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3385 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3386 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3387 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3389 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3391 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3392 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3393 bottom of your class file.
3396 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3399 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3401 - improved error message when loading modules so
3402 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3403 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3404 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3407 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3408 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3409 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3411 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3412 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3414 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3415 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3416 turn them on for you.
3417 - added tests for this
3418 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3419 in Moose::Meta::Class

3447 - This release works in combination with
3448 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3449 release because it uses the a new
3450 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3451 complete Role implementation. It has
3452 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3453 the the previous CPAN version. This
3454 release also lacks good updated docs,
3455 the official release will have updated docs.
3458 - refactored the keyword exports
3459 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3460 accepts more than one Role at a time
3461 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3462 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3465 - refactored the keyword exports
3466 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3467 accepts more than one Role at a time
3469 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3470 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3471 string enumerations which can be used as
3473 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3476 - more careful checking of params to new()
3479 - much work done on the role composition
3480 - many new tests for conflict detection
3481 and composition edge cases
3482 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3483 looking at the tests
3485 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3486 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3487 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3489 * Moose::Meta::Class
3490 - some small changes to support the new
3492 - some small additions to support Roles
3494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3495 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3497 - some small changes to support the new
3499 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3500 with the 'handles' option
3501 - added several tests for this
3502 - no docs for this yet
3504 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3506 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3507 thanks to chansen for this commit
3508 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3509 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3510 on a per-attribute basis
3511 - added tests for this
3512 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3513 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3514 experimental feature and probably not finished
3515 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3516 more details, or ask about it on #moose
