1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into the
7 check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can safely call
8 'after install_accessors => ...'. (hdp)
10 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
12 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
15 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
16 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
17 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
19 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
20 associated_methods. (hdp)
21 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
22 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
23 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
26 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
27 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
28 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
29 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
31 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
32 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
33 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
35 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
38 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
39 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
40 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
43 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
44 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
46 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
48 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
49 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
51 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
52 * Moose::Manual::Types
53 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
54 string parsing rathole (mst)
56 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
57 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
58 using plain objects instead
61 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
66 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
67 three times today (perigrin)
68 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
69 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
71 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
72 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
73 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
74 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
77 - A role's required methods are now represented by
78 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
79 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
80 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
81 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
82 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
85 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
86 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
87 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
88 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
91 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
93 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
96 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
98 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
101 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
102 during global destruction. This method has been made more
103 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
107 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
108 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
111 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
112 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
114 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
115 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
116 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
119 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
121 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
122 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
125 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
129 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
130 methods during global destruction (doy)
133 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
134 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
138 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
139 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
142 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
143 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
146 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
147 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
149 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
151 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
155 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
156 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
157 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
160 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
161 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
162 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
165 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
167 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
169 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
173 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
174 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
175 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
177 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
178 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
179 of the Moose core (Sartak)
182 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
185 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
186 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
187 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
191 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
192 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
195 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
197 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
200 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
201 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
204 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
205 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
208 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
209 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
212 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
215 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
218 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
222 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
224 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
225 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
228 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
229 * More deprecations and renamings
230 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
231 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
232 when an object is constructed)
235 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
236 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
237 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
239 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
240 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
241 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
242 feature, and it works again.
245 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
247 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
249 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
250 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
251 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
253 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
254 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
255 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
256 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
257 message. Test provided by perigrin.
259 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
260 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
261 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
262 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
263 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
266 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
267 metaclass object. (hdp)
269 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
270 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
271 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
272 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
273 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
274 point out this fact. (hdp)
276 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
277 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
279 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
280 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
284 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
285 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
286 called during instance construction were passed the
287 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
288 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
290 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
291 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
294 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
295 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
296 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
299 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
300 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
301 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
302 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
303 them, but they are not for "public" use.
306 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
308 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
309 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
310 when an object is constructed)
311 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
313 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
314 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
315 when an object is constructed)
316 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
317 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
318 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
321 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
323 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
324 * No changes from 0.72_01.
326 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
328 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
329 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
330 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
332 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
333 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
334 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
336 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
338 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
339 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
341 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
342 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
345 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
346 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
349 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
350 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
351 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
354 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
358 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
359 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
360 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
363 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
366 * Moose::Manual::Delta
367 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
368 with recommended workarounds.
370 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
371 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
373 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
374 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
375 (yes, spelled like that).
377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
378 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
381 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
382 changes in latest Class::MOP.
384 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
386 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
387 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
388 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
389 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
390 instead. Reported by doy.
392 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
394 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
395 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
398 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
399 message) is now deprecated.
400 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
401 often got it wrong. For example:
403 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
405 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
409 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
410 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
411 bite you in weird cases.
413 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
414 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
415 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
418 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
419 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
423 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
426 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
427 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
430 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
431 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
433 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
434 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
437 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
438 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
439 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
440 - added tests for this (stevan)
442 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
443 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
444 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
445 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
449 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
450 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
451 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
452 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
454 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
455 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
456 - added tests for this (rafl)
458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
459 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
460 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
461 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
465 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
466 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
469 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
470 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
471 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
473 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
475 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
476 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
479 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
480 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
481 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
482 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
485 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
486 error message did not specify the attribute name
489 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
491 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
493 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
494 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
495 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
498 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
501 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
503 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
504 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
505 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
506 of fixes and formatting improvements.
508 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
510 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
511 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
512 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
513 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
515 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
516 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
517 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
520 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
521 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
522 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
523 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
526 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
527 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
528 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
529 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
532 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
533 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
534 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
535 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
536 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
538 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
539 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
540 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
541 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
542 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
543 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
546 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
548 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
549 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
550 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
551 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
554 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
557 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
561 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
562 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
564 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
565 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
566 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
569 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
571 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
574 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
575 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
576 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
579 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
582 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
583 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
585 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
587 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
590 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
591 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
592 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
593 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
594 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
595 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
598 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
599 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
600 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
601 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
602 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
603 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
604 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
605 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
606 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
608 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
610 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
611 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
614 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
615 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
616 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
618 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
619 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
620 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
621 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
622 same methods for a single role did not work
623 right (worked just fine with multiple
625 - added test for this (stevan)
627 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
628 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
629 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
632 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
633 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
634 - added test for this (t0m)
637 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
638 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
639 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
642 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
643 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
644 - added test for this (t0m)
646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
647 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
648 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
649 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
650 - added test for this (perigrin)
653 - create method for constructing a role
655 - added test for this (Sartak)
656 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
657 - added test for this (Sartak)
660 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
662 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
663 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
664 methods is useful (Sartak)
666 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
668 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
672 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
673 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
674 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
675 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
676 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
677 - added tests for this (jdv79)
680 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
681 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
683 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
684 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
685 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
686 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
687 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
689 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
691 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
692 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
693 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
696 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
697 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
698 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
699 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
700 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
701 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
705 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
706 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
707 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
708 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
709 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
710 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
711 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
712 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
713 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
714 future. (jnapiorkowski)
716 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
717 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
721 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
722 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
723 type. (jnapiorkowski)
724 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
726 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
728 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
729 predicate, and link to more details sections in
730 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
733 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
735 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
736 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
737 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
738 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
741 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
742 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
744 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
746 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
747 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
750 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
751 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
756 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
757 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
760 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
763 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
764 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
765 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
766 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
767 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
768 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
769 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
771 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
772 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
773 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
775 * Roles and role application
776 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
777 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
778 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
779 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
780 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
782 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
783 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
786 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
787 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
788 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
789 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
790 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
793 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
794 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
795 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
796 changes in the Moose internals.
798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
800 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
803 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
804 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
805 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
806 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
809 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
810 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
811 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
814 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
815 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
816 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
817 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
818 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
819 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
820 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
821 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
822 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
823 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
824 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
825 constraint implementations.
827 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
831 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
832 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
833 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
834 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
835 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
836 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
837 - added tests for this (rafl)
840 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
841 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
842 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
843 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
844 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
845 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
846 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
847 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
850 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
851 - added tests for this (thepler)
853 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
854 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
855 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
856 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
861 * Moose::Meta::Method
864 * Moose::Error::Default
865 * Moose::Error::Croak
866 * Moose::Error::Confess
867 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
868 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
869 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
870 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
871 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
872 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
874 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
876 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
877 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
880 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
881 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
882 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
885 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
886 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
887 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
888 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
891 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
892 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
894 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
895 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
896 several major changes in this release of Moose.
897 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
900 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
902 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
903 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
905 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
910 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
911 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
913 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
915 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
916 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
917 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
918 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
919 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
920 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
922 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
923 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
924 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
926 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
927 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
928 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
931 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
932 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
933 dependency to 0.64_07.
935 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
936 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
937 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
939 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
940 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
943 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
944 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
945 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
946 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
947 coincidental exception. (t0m).
948 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
950 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
951 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
953 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
955 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
956 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
960 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
961 method when that method was provided by another role being
962 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
963 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
965 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
967 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
968 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
971 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
972 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
973 - added test for this (t0m)
975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
976 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
977 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
979 - added test for this (t0m)
982 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
983 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
984 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
987 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
988 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
990 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
992 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
995 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
996 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
997 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
999 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1000 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1003 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1005 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1006 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1010 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1011 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1012 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1016 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1017 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1018 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1021 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1025 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1026 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1027 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1029 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1031 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1032 created so that the process can be more easily
1033 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1037 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1038 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1041 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1044 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1045 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1047 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1048 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1049 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1063 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1067 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1068 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1070 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1071 ... this is not my day today ...
1073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1074 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1075 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1076 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1077 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1080 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1081 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1082 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1083 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1084 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1087 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1089 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1090 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1091 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1092 this is not ever something you want to do
1093 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1094 - added tests for this (stevan)
1097 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1099 - added test for this

1108 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1110 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1111 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1112 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1115 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1117 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1119 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1122 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1123 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1124 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1125 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1126 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1127 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1128 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1129 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 - added tests for this
1132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1133 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1134 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1135 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1137 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1140 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

1152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1153 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1154 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1156 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1158 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1168 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1170 - added docs for this (TODO).
1171 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1172 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1173 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1196 - move the ClassName type check code to
1197 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)

1200 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1202 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1203 (early morning release engineering)--
1205 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1206 which was causing the indexer to choke
1208 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1209 (late night release engineering)--
1211 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1212 changes in this release
1214 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1215 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1216 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1218 * Moose::Meta::Class
1219 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1220 since it is called so often by &meta
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1224 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1225 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1229 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1230 method for immutablization to check if the
1231 destructor object even needs to be created
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1235 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1236 - added more descriptive error message to help
1237 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1238 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1240 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1242 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1243 XS based functionality is now optional
1244 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1245 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1246 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1248 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1249 to take care of this, mostly we added
1250 support for the package_name and name
1251 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1252 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1253 support regexp matching of names
1254 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1255 - tests added for this
1256 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1257 is currently not supported in roles,
1258 but, ... patches welcome
1259 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1260 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1261 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1264 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1265 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1266 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1267 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1268 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1269 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1270 - added test for this
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1274 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1277 * Moose::Meta::Class
1278 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1282 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1284 - added tests for this
1285 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1286 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1289 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1290 themselves parameterizable types
1292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1293 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1294 called by the inlined immutable
1296 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1299 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1300 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1301 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1303 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1304 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1308 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1309 causing occasional cpantester failures
1310 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1311 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1313 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1315 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1316 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1319 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1320 ->body when looping through the
1321 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1323 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1324 eating the $@ values, and so not
1325 working correctly, it still kind of
1326 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1327 - added tests for this
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1330 - added new recipe for immutable
1331 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1333 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1334 - added new recipe for builder and
1335 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1337 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1338 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1339 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1342 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1344 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1345 since Module::Install has done that.
1347 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1349 drink more coffee before
1350 doing release engineering
1352 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1353 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1354 modules. This fixes that.
1356 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1357 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1358 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1360 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1361 since we have tests which need the C3
1364 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1365 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1367 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1368 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1370 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1371 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1372 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1373 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1379 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1380 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1382 * Moose::Meta::Class
1383 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
1384 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1386 - added test for this
1388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1389 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
1390 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
1391 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
1392 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
1393 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
1395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1396 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

1403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1404 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
1405 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
1406 - added tests for this (Sartak)
1407 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
1408 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
1410 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods

1467 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1469 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1470 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1513 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1514 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1807 when they encounter overriden or modified
1808 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1809 - added tests for this
1811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1819 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1822 * Parameterized Types
1823 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1824 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1825 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1826 They can also be nested:
1827 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1828 And work with the type unions as well:
1829 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1831 * Better Framework Extendability
1832 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1833 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1834 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1835 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1838 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1839 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1840 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1841 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2083 it will first look in for the class in the
2084 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2085 then default to just loading $name.
2086 - added tests and docs for this
2088 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2089 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2090 - added test for this
2093 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2094 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2095 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2096 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2098 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2099 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2102 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2104 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2105 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2106 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2109 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2110 !! for this developer release to work !!
2112 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2113 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2114 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2115 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2116 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2117 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2118 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2119 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2120 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2121 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2122 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2124 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2125 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2126 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2127 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2130 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2132 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2133 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2134 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2136 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2138 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2139 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2142 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2143 called unless they actually need to be.
2144 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2145 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2146 DEMOLISH method present.
2148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2150 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2151 type constraint, which allows for a
2152 hand optimized version of the type
2153 constraint to be used when possible.
2154 - Any internally created type constraints
2155 now provide an optimized version as well.
2157 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2159 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2160 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2161 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2164 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2165 your class namespace of these exported
2168 * Moose::Meta::Class
2169 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2170 comes up during global destruction
2172 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2176 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2180 - changed how we do type checks so that
2181 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2184 - moved accessor generation methods to
2185 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2186 conform to the API changes from
2189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2190 - changed how constraints are compiled
2191 so that we do less recursion and more
2192 iteration. This makes the type check
2194 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2198 - created this from methods formerly found in
2199 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2201 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2202 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2205 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2208 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2210 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2213 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2214 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2215 - added tests for this
2216 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2217 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2218 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2219 - removed tests for this
2221 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2223 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2224 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2225 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2228 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2229 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2230 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2232 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2233 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2234 comments for more info.
2237 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2238 asked questions and common problems
2240 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2241 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2242 - added tests for this
2244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2245 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2246 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2247 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2249 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2250 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2253 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2254 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2255 is much appreciated :)
2256 - added tests for this
2258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2259 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2260 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2264 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2266 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2268 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2269 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2273 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2274 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2275 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2277 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2279 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2282 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2283 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2284 keywords because we need to localize them.
2285 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2287 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2288 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2289 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2292 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2295 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2296 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2297 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2300 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2301 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2302 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2304 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2306 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2307 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2308 bottom of your class file.
2311 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2314 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2316 - improved error message when loading modules so
2317 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2318 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2319 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2322 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2323 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2324 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2326 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2327 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2329 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2330 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2331 turn them on for you.
2332 - added tests for this
2333 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2334 in Moose::Meta::Class
2337 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2338 automatically turned on for you.

2361 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2362 - This release works in combination with
2363 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2364 release because it uses the a new
2365 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2366 complete Role implementation. It has
2367 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2368 the the previous CPAN version. This
2369 release also lacks good updated docs,
2370 the official release will have updated docs.
2373 - refactored the keyword exports
2374 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2375 accepts more than one Role at a time

2377 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2380 - refactored the keyword exports
2381 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2382 accepts more than one Role at a time
2384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2386 string enumerations which can be used as
2388 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2391 - more careful checking of params to new()
2394 - much work done on the role composition
2395 - many new tests for conflict detection
2396 and composition edge cases
2397 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2398 looking at the tests
2400 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2401 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2402 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2407 - some small additions to support Roles
2409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2410 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2412 - some small changes to support the new
2414 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2415 with the 'handles' option
2416 - added several tests for this
2417 - no docs for this yet

2421 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2422 thanks to chansen for this commit
2423 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2424 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2425 on a per-attribute basis
2426 - added tests for this
2427 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2428 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2429 experimental feature and probably not finished

2494 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2496 - added test for this
