1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
10 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
12 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
16 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
17 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
18 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
21 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
22 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
23 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
25 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
26 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
27 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
28 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
29 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
32 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
37 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
38 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
39 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
40 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
41 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
44 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
48 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
51 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
52 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
56 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
57 function (not just method). (doy)
61 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
62 and aren't easily installable/testable.
64 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
68 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
69 to be overridden more easily (doy).
71 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
75 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
76 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
78 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
82 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
83 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
84 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
86 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
90 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
91 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
92 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
94 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
95 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
99 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
100 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
102 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
103 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
107 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
108 is applied to a class (t0m).
110 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
111 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
113 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
116 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
117 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
119 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
120 be much more robust. (doy)
122 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
124 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
127 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
131 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
132 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
134 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
138 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
139 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
141 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
144 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
145 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
146 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
148 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
149 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
150 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
153 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
155 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
159 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
160 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
164 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
166 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
170 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
171 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
175 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
176 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
180 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
182 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
186 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
187 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
191 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
192 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
196 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
197 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
199 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
203 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
204 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
205 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
208 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
212 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
213 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
214 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
215 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
217 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
221 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
222 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
223 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
227 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
230 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
235 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
236 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
240 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
241 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
243 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
244 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
245 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
246 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
248 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
252 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
256 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
257 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
259 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
260 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
261 - Moose::Util::does_role
262 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
263 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
264 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
266 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
270 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
271 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
272 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
275 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
279 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
280 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
283 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
287 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
288 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
291 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
295 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
297 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
298 class. (Dave Rolsky).
300 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
301 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
302 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
305 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
306 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
309 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
310 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
312 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
313 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
314 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
316 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
318 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
319 substr et al, again. (sorear)
321 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
323 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
326 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
327 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
329 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
330 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
332 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
333 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
334 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
335 dependencies installed.
337 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
338 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
341 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
343 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
347 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
350 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
351 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
353 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
354 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
355 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
357 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
358 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
361 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
362 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
363 others. (nothingmuch)
365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
366 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
367 remove_accessors. (doy)
369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
370 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
371 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
374 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
376 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
378 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
379 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
382 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
383 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
386 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
388 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
390 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
391 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
395 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
396 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
397 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
398 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
400 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
403 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
404 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
405 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
406 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
409 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
410 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
411 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
412 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
413 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
415 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
416 which were not receiving the value of
417 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
418 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
419 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
420 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
424 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
425 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
426 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
427 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
428 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
431 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
432 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
433 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
434 - added tests for this (Stevan)
437 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
438 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
439 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
442 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
444 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
447 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
448 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
451 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
452 class if you pass it options for
453 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
454 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
455 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
456 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
457 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
458 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
459 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
460 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
461 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
463 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
464 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
465 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
466 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
467 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
470 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
472 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
473 existing delegation API. (hdp)
475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
476 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
477 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
478 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
479 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
480 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
483 * Moose::Error::Croak
484 * Moose::Error::Confess
485 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
486 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
489 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
492 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
493 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
494 installing a broken sub. (doy)
497 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
500 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
501 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
502 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
504 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
505 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
506 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
507 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
508 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
511 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
514 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
516 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
517 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
520 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
521 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
524 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
525 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
526 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
529 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
530 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
531 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
532 using it for new code!
534 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
535 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
536 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
537 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
539 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
540 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
541 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
542 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
543 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
544 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
545 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
546 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
549 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
552 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
553 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
557 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
560 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
561 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
565 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
566 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
569 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
570 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
573 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
574 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
577 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
579 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
580 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
581 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
582 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
584 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
586 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
590 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
591 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
593 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
594 associated_methods. (hdp)
595 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
596 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
597 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
598 misspelled) arguments
600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
601 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
602 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
603 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
607 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
609 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
612 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
613 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
614 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
617 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
618 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
620 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
622 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
623 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
625 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
626 * Moose::Manual::Types
627 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
628 string parsing rathole (mst)
630 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
631 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
632 using plain objects instead
634 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
635 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
638 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
640 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
641 three times today (perigrin)
642 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
643 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
645 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
646 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
647 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
648 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
651 - A role's required methods are now represented by
652 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
653 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
654 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
655 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
656 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
659 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
660 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
661 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
662 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
665 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
667 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
670 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
672 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
675 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
676 during global destruction. This method has been made more
677 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
681 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
682 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
685 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
686 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
688 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
689 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
690 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
693 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
695 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
696 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
699 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
703 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
704 methods during global destruction (doy)
707 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
708 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
712 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
713 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
716 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
717 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
720 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
721 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
723 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
725 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
729 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
730 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
731 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
734 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
735 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
736 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
739 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
741 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
742 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
743 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
747 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
748 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
749 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
751 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
752 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
753 of the Moose core (Sartak)
756 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
759 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
760 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
761 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
765 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
766 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
769 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
771 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
774 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
775 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
778 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
779 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
782 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
783 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
786 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
789 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
792 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
796 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
799 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
802 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
803 * More deprecations and renamings
804 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
805 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
806 when an object is constructed)
809 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
810 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
811 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
814 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
815 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
816 feature, and it works again.
819 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
821 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
823 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
824 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
825 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
828 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
829 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
830 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
831 message. Test provided by perigrin.
833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
834 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
835 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
836 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
837 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
840 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
841 metaclass object. (hdp)
843 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
844 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
845 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
846 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
847 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
848 point out this fact. (hdp)
850 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
851 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
853 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
854 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
858 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
859 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
860 called during instance construction were passed the
861 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
862 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
864 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
865 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
868 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
869 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
870 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
873 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
874 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
875 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
876 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
877 them, but they are not for "public" use.
880 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
882 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
883 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
884 when an object is constructed)
885 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
887 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
888 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
889 when an object is constructed)
890 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
891 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
892 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
895 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
897 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
898 * No changes from 0.72_01.
900 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
902 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
903 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
904 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
907 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
908 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
910 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
912 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
913 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
915 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
916 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
919 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
920 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
923 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
924 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
925 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
927 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
928 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
932 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
933 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
934 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
937 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
940 * Moose::Manual::Delta
941 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
942 with recommended workarounds.
944 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
945 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
948 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
949 (yes, spelled like that).
951 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
952 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
955 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
956 changes in latest Class::MOP.
958 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
961 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
962 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
963 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
964 instead. Reported by doy.
966 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
968 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
969 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
972 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
973 message) is now deprecated.
974 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
975 often got it wrong. For example:
977 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
979 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
983 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
984 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
985 bite you in weird cases.
987 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
988 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
989 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
992 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
993 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
997 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1000 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1001 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1005 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1008 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1011 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1013 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1014 - added tests for this (stevan)
1016 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1017 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1018 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1019 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1023 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1024 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1025 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1026 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1028 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1029 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1030 - added tests for this (rafl)
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1033 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1034 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1035 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1039 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1040 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1043 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1044 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1045 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1049 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1050 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1052 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1053 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1054 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1055 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1056 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1059 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1060 error message did not specify the attribute name
1063 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1065 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1067 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1068 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1069 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1072 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1075 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1077 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1078 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1079 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1080 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1082 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1084 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1085 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1086 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1087 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1090 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1091 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1094 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1095 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1096 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1097 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1100 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1101 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1102 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1103 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1106 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1107 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1108 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1109 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1110 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1112 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1113 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1114 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1115 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1116 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1117 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1120 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1122 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1123 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1124 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1125 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1128 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1131 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1135 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1136 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1138 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1139 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1140 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1141 guts. (nothingmuch).
1143 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1144 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1145 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1147 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1148 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1149 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1150 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1152 * Moose::Meta::Class
1153 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1156 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1157 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1160 * Moose::Unsweetened
1161 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1164 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1165 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1166 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1167 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1168 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1169 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1172 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1173 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1174 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1175 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1176 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1177 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1178 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1179 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1180 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1184 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1185 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1187 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1188 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1189 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1190 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1192 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1193 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1194 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1195 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1196 same methods for a single role did not work
1197 right (worked just fine with multiple
1199 - added test for this (stevan)
1201 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1202 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1203 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1206 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1207 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1208 - added test for this (t0m)
1211 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1212 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1213 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1216 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1217 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1218 - added test for this (t0m)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1221 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1222 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1223 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1224 - added test for this (perigrin)
1227 - create method for constructing a role
1228 dynamically (Sartak)
1229 - added test for this (Sartak)
1230 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1231 - added test for this (Sartak)
1234 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1236 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1237 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1238 methods is useful (Sartak)
1240 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1242 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1245 * Moose::Meta::Class
1246 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1247 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1248 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1249 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1250 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1251 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1254 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1255 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1257 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1258 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1259 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1260 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1261 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1265 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1266 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1267 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1270 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1271 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1272 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1273 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1274 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1275 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1279 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1280 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1281 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1282 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1283 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1284 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1285 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1286 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1287 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1288 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1291 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1294 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1295 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1296 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1297 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1298 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1300 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1302 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1303 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1304 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1307 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1309 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1310 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1311 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1312 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1316 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1318 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1320 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1321 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Class
1324 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1325 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1326 a required attribute
1328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1329 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1330 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1331 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1334 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1336 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1337 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1338 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1339 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1340 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1341 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1342 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1343 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1345 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1346 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1347 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1349 * Roles and role application
1350 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1351 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1352 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1353 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1354 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1356 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1357 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1360 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1361 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1362 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1363 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1364 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1367 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1368 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1369 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1370 changes in the Moose internals.
1372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1374 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1378 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1379 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1380 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1382 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1383 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1384 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1385 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1387 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1388 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1389 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1390 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1391 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1392 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1393 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1394 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1395 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1396 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1397 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1398 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1399 constraint implementations.
1401 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1405 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1406 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1407 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1408 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1409 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1410 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1411 - added tests for this (rafl)
1413 * Moose::Meta::Class
1414 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1415 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1416 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1417 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1418 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1419 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1420 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1421 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1424 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1425 - added tests for this (thepler)
1427 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1428 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1429 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1430 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1433 * Moose::Meta::Class
1434 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method
1438 * Moose::Error::Default
1439 * Moose::Error::Croak
1440 * Moose::Error::Confess
1441 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1442 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1443 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1444 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1445 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1446 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1448 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1450 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1451 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1453 * Moose::Unsweetened
1454 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1455 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1456 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1459 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1460 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1461 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1462 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1465 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1466 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1468 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1469 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1470 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1471 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1514 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1517 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1518 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1519 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1520 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1521 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1522 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1525 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1527 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1529 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1530 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1534 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1535 method when that method was provided by another role being
1536 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1537 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1539 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1547 - added test for this (t0m)
1549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1550 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1551 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1553 - added test for this (t0m)
1556 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1557 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1558 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1562 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1564 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1566 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1567 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1569 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1570 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1571 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1573 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1574 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1577 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1580 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1584 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1585 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1586 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1590 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1591 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

1595 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1599 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1605 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1606 created so that the process can be more easily

1632 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1633 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1637 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1641 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1642 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1644 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1645 ... this is not my day today ...
1647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1648 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1649 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1650 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1651 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1654 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1655 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1656 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1657 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1658 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1661 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1663 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1664 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1665 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1666 this is not ever something you want to do
1667 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1668 - added tests for this (stevan)
1671 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1673 - added test for this

1682 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1685 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1686 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1689 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1691 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1693 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1696 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1697 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1698 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1699 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1700 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1701 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1702 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1703 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1704 - added tests for this
1706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1707 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1708 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1709 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1774 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1776 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1777 (early morning release engineering)--
1779 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1780 which was causing the indexer to choke
1782 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1783 (late night release engineering)--
1785 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1786 changes in this release

1796 * Moose::Meta::Class
1798 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1799 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1803 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1804 method for immutablization to check if the
1805 destructor object even needs to be created
1808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1809 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1810 - added more descriptive error message to help
1811 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1812 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1814 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1816 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1817 XS based functionality is now optional
1818 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1819 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1820 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1822 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1823 to take care of this, mostly we added
1824 support for the package_name and name
1825 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1826 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1827 support regexp matching of names
1828 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1829 - tests added for this
1830 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1831 is currently not supported in roles,
1832 but, ... patches welcome
1833 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1834 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1835 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1838 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1839 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1840 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1841 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1842 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1843 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1844 - added test for this
1846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1847 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1848 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1851 * Moose::Meta::Class
1852 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1856 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1858 - added tests for this
1859 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1860 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1863 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1864 themselves parameterizable types
1866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1867 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1868 called by the inlined immutable
1870 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1872 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1873 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1874 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1875 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1878 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1890 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1893 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1894 ->body when looping through the
1895 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1897 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1898 eating the $@ values, and so not
1899 working correctly, it still kind of
1900 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1901 - added tests for this
1903 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1904 - added new recipe for immutable
1905 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1907 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1923 drink more coffee before
1924 doing release engineering
1926 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1927 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1928 modules. This fixes that.

1958 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1960 - added test for this
1962 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2041 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2043 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2083 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2086 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2087 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2088 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2089 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2091 - added more delegation tests
2092 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2093 support traits and their introspection.
2094 - added tests for this

2334 - added tests for this
2337 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2338 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2377 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2380 - fixed how required methods are handled
2381 when they encounter overriden or modified
2382 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2383 - added tests for this
2385 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2386 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2387 the | always creates a union and so is
2388 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2389 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2391 - added more tests for this
2393 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2396 * Parameterized Types
2397 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2398 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2399 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2400 They can also be nested:
2401 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2402 And work with the type unions as well:
2403 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2405 * Better Framework Extendability
2406 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2407 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2408 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2409 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2412 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2413 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2414 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2415 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2418 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2420 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2649 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2650 so that you can actually document your
2651 attributes and inspect them through the

2655 * Moose::Meta::Class
2656 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2657 it will first look in for the class in the
2658 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2659 then default to just loading $name.
2660 - added tests and docs for this
2662 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2663 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2664 - added test for this
2667 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2668 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2669 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2670 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2672 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2673 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2676 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2678 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2679 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2680 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2683 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2684 !! for this developer release to work !!
2686 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2687 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2688 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2689 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2690 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2691 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2692 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2693 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2694 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2695 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2696 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2698 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2699 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2700 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2701 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2704 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2706 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2707 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2708 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2710 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2712 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2713 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2716 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2717 called unless they actually need to be.
2718 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2719 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2720 DEMOLISH method present.
2722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2723 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2724 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2725 type constraint, which allows for a
2726 hand optimized version of the type
2727 constraint to be used when possible.
2728 - Any internally created type constraints
2729 now provide an optimized version as well.

2733 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2734 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2735 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2738 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2739 your class namespace of these exported
2742 * Moose::Meta::Class
2743 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2744 comes up during global destruction
2746 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2750 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2754 - changed how we do type checks so that
2755 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2758 - moved accessor generation methods to
2759 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2760 conform to the API changes from
2763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2764 - changed how constraints are compiled
2765 so that we do less recursion and more
2766 iteration. This makes the type check
2768 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2772 - created this from methods formerly found in
2773 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2775 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2776 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2779 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2781 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2782 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2784 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2786 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2787 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2788 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2789 - added tests for this
2790 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2791 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2792 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2793 - removed tests for this
2795 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2797 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2798 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2799 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2802 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2803 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2804 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2806 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2807 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2808 comments for more info.
2811 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2812 asked questions and common problems
2814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2815 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2816 - added tests for this
2818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2819 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2820 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2821 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2823 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2824 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2827 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2828 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2829 is much appreciated :)
2830 - added tests for this
2832 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2833 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2834 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2838 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2840 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2842 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2843 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2847 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2848 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2849 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2851 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2853 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2856 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2857 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2858 keywords because we need to localize them.
2859 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2861 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2862 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2863 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2866 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2870 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2871 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2874 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2875 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2876 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2878 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2880 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2881 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2882 bottom of your class file.
2885 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2888 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2890 - improved error message when loading modules so
2891 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2892 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2893 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2896 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2897 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2898 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2900 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2901 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2903 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2904 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2905 turn them on for you.
2906 - added tests for this
2907 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2908 in Moose::Meta::Class
2911 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2912 automatically turned on for you.

2916 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2917 - added tests for this

2931 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2934 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2935 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2936 - This release works in combination with
2937 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2938 release because it uses the a new
2939 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2940 complete Role implementation. It has
2941 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2942 the the previous CPAN version. This
2943 release also lacks good updated docs,
2944 the official release will have updated docs.
2947 - refactored the keyword exports
2948 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2949 accepts more than one Role at a time
2950 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2951 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2954 - refactored the keyword exports
2955 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2956 accepts more than one Role at a time
2958 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2959 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2960 string enumerations which can be used as
2962 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2965 - more careful checking of params to new()
2968 - much work done on the role composition
2969 - many new tests for conflict detection
2970 and composition edge cases
2971 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2972 looking at the tests
2974 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2975 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2976 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2978 * Moose::Meta::Class
2979 - some small changes to support the new
2981 - some small additions to support Roles
2983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2984 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2986 - some small changes to support the new
2988 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2989 with the 'handles' option
2990 - added several tests for this
2991 - no docs for this yet
2993 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2995 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2996 thanks to chansen for this commit
2997 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2998 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2999 on a per-attribute basis
3000 - added tests for this
3001 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3002 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3003 experimental feature and probably not finished
3004 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3005 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3006 - added tests for this
3009 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3021 construct_instance (for the better)
3023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3068 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3070 - added test for this
