1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
13 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
14 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
16 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
20 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
21 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
23 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
26 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
27 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
28 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
30 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
31 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
32 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
35 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
37 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
41 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
42 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
46 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
48 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
52 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
53 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
57 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
58 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
62 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
68 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
69 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
73 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
74 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
78 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
79 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
81 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
85 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
86 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
87 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
94 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
95 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
96 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
97 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
103 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
104 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
105 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
109 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
112 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
117 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
118 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
122 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
123 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
125 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
126 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
127 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
128 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
130 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
134 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
138 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
139 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
141 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
142 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
143 - Moose::Util::does_role
144 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
145 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
146 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
148 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
152 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
153 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
154 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
157 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
161 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
162 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
165 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
169 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
170 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
173 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
177 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
179 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
180 class. (Dave Rolsky).
182 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
183 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
184 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
186 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
187 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
188 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
191 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
192 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
194 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
195 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
196 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
198 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
200 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
201 substr et al, again. (sorear)
203 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
205 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
208 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
209 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
211 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
212 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
214 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
215 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
216 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
217 dependencies installed.
219 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
220 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
223 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
225 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
229 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
232 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
233 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
236 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
237 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
239 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
240 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
243 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
244 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
245 others. (nothingmuch)
247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
248 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
249 remove_accessors. (doy)
251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
252 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
253 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
256 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
258 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
259 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
260 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
261 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
264 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
265 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
268 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
270 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
272 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
273 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
277 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
278 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
279 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
280 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
282 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
285 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
286 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
287 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
288 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
291 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
292 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
293 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
294 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
295 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
297 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
298 which were not receiving the value of
299 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
300 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
301 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
302 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
306 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
307 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
308 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
309 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
310 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
314 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
315 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
316 - added tests for this (Stevan)
319 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
320 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
321 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
324 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
326 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
329 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
330 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
333 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
334 class if you pass it options for
335 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
336 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
337 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
338 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
339 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
340 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
341 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
342 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
343 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
345 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
346 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
347 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
348 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
349 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
352 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
354 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
355 existing delegation API. (hdp)
357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
358 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
359 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
360 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
361 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
362 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
365 * Moose::Error::Croak
366 * Moose::Error::Confess
367 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
368 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
371 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
374 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
375 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
376 installing a broken sub. (doy)
379 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
382 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
383 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
384 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
386 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
387 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
388 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
389 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
390 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
393 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
396 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
398 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
399 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
402 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
403 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
407 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
408 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
411 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
412 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
413 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
414 using it for new code!
416 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
417 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
418 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
419 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
421 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
422 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
423 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
424 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
425 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
426 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
427 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
428 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
431 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
434 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
435 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
439 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
442 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
443 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
447 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
448 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
451 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
452 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
455 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
456 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
459 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
461 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
462 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
463 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
464 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
466 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
468 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
472 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
473 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
475 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
476 associated_methods. (hdp)
477 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
478 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
479 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
480 misspelled) arguments
482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
483 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
484 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
485 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
489 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
491 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
495 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
496 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
499 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
500 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
502 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
504 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
505 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
507 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
508 * Moose::Manual::Types
509 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
510 string parsing rathole (mst)
512 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
513 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
514 using plain objects instead
516 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
517 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
520 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
522 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
523 three times today (perigrin)
524 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
525 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
528 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
529 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
530 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
533 - A role's required methods are now represented by
534 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
535 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
536 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
537 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
538 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
541 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
542 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
543 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
544 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
547 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
549 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
552 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
554 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
557 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
558 during global destruction. This method has been made more
559 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
563 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
564 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
567 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
568 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
570 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
571 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
572 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
575 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
577 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
578 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
581 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
585 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
586 methods during global destruction (doy)
589 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
590 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
594 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
595 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
598 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
599 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
602 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
603 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
605 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
607 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
611 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
612 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
613 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
616 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
617 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
618 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
621 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
623 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
625 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
628 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
629 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
630 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
631 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
633 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
634 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
635 of the Moose core (Sartak)
638 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
641 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
642 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
643 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
647 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
648 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
651 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
653 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
656 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
657 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
660 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
661 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
664 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
665 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
668 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
671 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
674 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
678 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
681 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
684 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
685 * More deprecations and renamings
686 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
687 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
688 when an object is constructed)
691 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
692 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
693 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
696 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
697 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
698 feature, and it works again.
701 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
703 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
705 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
706 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
707 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
710 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
711 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
712 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
713 message. Test provided by perigrin.
715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
716 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
717 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
718 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
719 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
722 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
723 metaclass object. (hdp)
725 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
726 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
727 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
728 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
729 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
730 point out this fact. (hdp)
732 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
733 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
735 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
736 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
740 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
741 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
742 called during instance construction were passed the
743 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
744 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
746 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
747 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
750 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
751 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
752 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
755 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
756 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
757 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
758 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
759 them, but they are not for "public" use.
762 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
764 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
765 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
766 when an object is constructed)
767 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
769 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
770 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
771 when an object is constructed)
772 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
773 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
774 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
777 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
779 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
780 * No changes from 0.72_01.
782 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
784 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
785 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
786 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
789 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
790 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
792 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
794 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
795 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
797 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
798 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
801 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
802 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
805 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
806 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
807 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
809 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
810 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
814 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
815 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
816 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
818 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
819 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
822 * Moose::Manual::Delta
823 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
824 with recommended workarounds.
826 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
827 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
829 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
830 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
831 (yes, spelled like that).
833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
834 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
837 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
838 changes in latest Class::MOP.
840 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
843 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
844 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
845 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
846 instead. Reported by doy.
848 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
850 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
851 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
854 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
855 message) is now deprecated.
856 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
857 often got it wrong. For example:
859 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
861 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
865 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
866 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
867 bite you in weird cases.
869 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
870 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
871 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
874 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
875 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
879 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
882 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
883 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
886 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
887 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
890 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
893 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
894 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
895 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
896 - added tests for this (stevan)
898 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
899 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
900 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
901 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
905 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
906 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
907 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
908 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
910 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
911 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
912 - added tests for this (rafl)
914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
915 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
916 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
917 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
921 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
922 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
925 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
926 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
927 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
929 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
931 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
932 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
935 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
936 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
937 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
938 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
940 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
941 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
942 error message did not specify the attribute name
945 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
947 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
949 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
950 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
951 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
953 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
954 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
957 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
959 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
960 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
961 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
962 of fixes and formatting improvements.
964 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
966 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
967 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
968 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
969 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
972 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
973 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
975 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
976 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
977 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
978 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
979 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
982 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
983 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
984 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
985 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
988 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
989 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
990 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
991 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
992 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
994 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
995 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
996 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
997 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
998 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
999 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1002 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1004 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1005 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1006 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1007 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1010 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1013 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1017 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1018 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1021 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1022 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1023 guts. (nothingmuch).
1025 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1027 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1030 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1031 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1032 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1034 * Moose::Meta::Class
1035 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1038 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1039 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1042 * Moose::Unsweetened
1043 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1046 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1047 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1048 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1049 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1050 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1051 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1053 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1054 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1055 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1056 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1057 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1058 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1059 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1060 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1061 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1062 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1064 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1066 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1067 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1070 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1071 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1072 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1075 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1076 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1077 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1078 same methods for a single role did not work
1079 right (worked just fine with multiple
1081 - added test for this (stevan)
1083 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1084 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1085 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1088 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1089 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1090 - added test for this (t0m)
1093 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1094 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1095 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1098 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1099 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1100 - added test for this (t0m)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1103 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1104 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1105 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1106 - added test for this (perigrin)
1109 - create method for constructing a role
1110 dynamically (Sartak)
1111 - added test for this (Sartak)
1112 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1113 - added test for this (Sartak)
1116 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1119 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1120 methods is useful (Sartak)
1122 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1127 * Moose::Meta::Class
1128 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1129 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1130 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1131 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1132 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1133 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1136 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1137 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1139 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1140 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1141 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1142 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1143 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1147 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1148 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1149 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1152 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1153 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1154 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1155 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1156 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1157 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1160 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1161 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1162 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1163 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1164 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1165 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1166 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1167 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1168 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1169 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1170 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1173 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1177 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1178 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1179 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1180 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1182 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1184 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1185 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1186 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1189 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1192 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1193 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1194 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1197 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1198 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1200 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1202 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1203 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1205 * Moose::Meta::Class
1206 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1207 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1208 a required attribute
1210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1212 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1213 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1215 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1216 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1219 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1220 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1221 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1222 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1223 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1224 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1225 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1228 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1229 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1231 * Roles and role application
1232 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1233 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1234 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1235 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1236 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1238 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1239 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1242 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1243 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1244 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1245 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1246 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1249 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1250 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1251 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1252 changes in the Moose internals.
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1256 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1260 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1261 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1262 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1265 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1266 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1267 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1270 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1271 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1272 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1273 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1274 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1275 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1276 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1277 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1278 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1279 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1280 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1281 constraint implementations.
1283 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1287 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1288 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1289 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1290 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1291 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1292 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1293 - added tests for this (rafl)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Class
1296 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1297 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1298 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1299 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1300 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1301 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1302 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1306 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1307 - added tests for this (thepler)
1309 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1310 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1311 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1312 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1315 * Moose::Meta::Class
1316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method
1320 * Moose::Error::Default
1321 * Moose::Error::Croak
1322 * Moose::Error::Confess
1323 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1324 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1325 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1326 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1327 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1328 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1330 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1332 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1333 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Unsweetened
1336 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1337 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1338 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1341 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1342 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1343 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1344 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1347 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1348 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1350 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1351 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1352 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1353 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1356 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1358 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1359 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1361 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1364 - Various bug fixes.
1366 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1367 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1369 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.

1372 * Moose::Util::MetaRole

1400 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1401 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1402 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1403 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1404 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1406 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1407 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1527 ... this is not my day today ...
1529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1530 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1531 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1532 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1533 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1536 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1537 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1538 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1578 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1579 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1580 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1581 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1582 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1583 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1584 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1585 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1586 - added tests for this
1588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1589 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1699 XS based functionality is now optional
1700 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2063 * Moose::Meta::Class
2064 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2065 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2066 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2067 method in the first place ;)
2069 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2070 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2071 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2073 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2074 - (see the POD for details)
2076 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2077 - this release contains a major reworking and
2078 cleanup of the role system
2079 - 100% backwards compat.
2080 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2081 classes based on type of applicants
2082 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2083 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2084 used in this process
2085 - new Composite role metaclass
2086 - runtime application of roles to instances
2087 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2088 classes when applicable
2090 * <<New Role composition features>>
2091 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2093 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2094 still retain the original as well)

2097 - added this module (see above)
2099 * Moose::Meta::Class
2100 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2101 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
2103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2110 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2111 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2112 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2113 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2116 - type constraint handling
2117 - error handling/messages
2118 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2121 - added this module to support the refactor
2122 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2124 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2125 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2126 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2130 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2132 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2133 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2134 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2136 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2156 - added tests for this
2158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2159 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2160 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2162 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007

2169 having to do it all in one place
2170 - added tests for this
2172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2173 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2174 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2177 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2178 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2179 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2180 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2182 more type coercions for Union types)
2184 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2186 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2188 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2189 - added tests for this.
2190 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2191 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2192 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2193 - added tests for this
2194 - added docs for this
2196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2197 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2198 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2199 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2200 instead it will just return undef.

2215 with work correctly.
2216 - added tests for this
2219 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2220 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2223 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2224 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2225 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2227 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2258 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2259 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2262 - fixed how required methods are handled
2263 when they encounter overriden or modified
2264 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2265 - added tests for this
2267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2268 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2269 the | always creates a union and so is
2270 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2271 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2273 - added more tests for this
2275 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2278 * Parameterized Types
2279 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2280 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2281 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2282 They can also be nested:
2283 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2284 And work with the type unions as well:
2285 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2287 * Better Framework Extendability
2288 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2289 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2290 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2291 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2294 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2295 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2296 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2297 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2300 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2302 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2303 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2306 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2362 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2363 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2365 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2366 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2367 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2368 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2382 (thanks to shlomif).
2384 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2385 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2386 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2435 (but not changing the handles option)
2436 - added tests and docs for this
2439 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2440 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2445 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2451 the other side (perigrin)
2453 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2455 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2456 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2457 prototypes for functions
2458 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2459 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2469 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2472 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2473 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2474 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2475 - added tests for this
2477 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2479 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2480 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

2501 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2503 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2504 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2505 so this release is just to fix that.
2508 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2509 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2510 (thanks to konobi for this)
2511 - added tests and docs
2513 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2514 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2517 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2518 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2519 - added tests for this
2520 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2521 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2522 functions to facilitate introspection.
2524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2525 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2526 to build the list of delegated methods
2527 correctly (and not override important
2528 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2530 - added tests and docs for this
2531 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2532 so that you can actually document your
2533 attributes and inspect them through the
2535 - added tests and docs for this
2537 * Moose::Meta::Class
2538 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2539 it will first look in for the class in the
2540 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2541 then default to just loading $name.
2542 - added tests and docs for this
2544 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2545 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2546 - added test for this
2549 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2550 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2551 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2552 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2554 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2555 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2558 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2560 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2561 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2562 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2565 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2566 !! for this developer release to work !!
2568 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2569 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2570 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2571 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2572 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2573 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2574 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2575 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2576 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2577 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2578 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2580 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2581 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2582 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2583 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2586 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2588 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2589 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2590 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2592 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2594 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2595 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2598 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2599 called unless they actually need to be.
2600 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2601 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2602 DEMOLISH method present.
2604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2606 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2607 type constraint, which allows for a
2608 hand optimized version of the type
2609 constraint to be used when possible.
2610 - Any internally created type constraints
2611 now provide an optimized version as well.
2613 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2615 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2616 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2617 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2620 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2621 your class namespace of these exported
2624 * Moose::Meta::Class
2625 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2626 comes up during global destruction
2628 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2632 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2636 - changed how we do type checks so that
2637 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2640 - moved accessor generation methods to
2641 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2642 conform to the API changes from
2645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2646 - changed how constraints are compiled
2647 so that we do less recursion and more
2648 iteration. This makes the type check
2650 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2654 - created this from methods formerly found in
2655 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2657 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2658 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2661 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2664 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2666 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2668 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2669 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2670 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2671 - added tests for this
2672 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2673 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2674 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2675 - removed tests for this
2677 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2679 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2680 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2681 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2684 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2685 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2686 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2688 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2689 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2690 comments for more info.
2693 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2694 asked questions and common problems
2696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2697 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2698 - added tests for this
2700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2701 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2702 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2703 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2705 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2706 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2709 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2710 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2711 is much appreciated :)
2712 - added tests for this
2714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2715 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2716 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2719 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2720 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2722 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2724 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2725 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2729 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2730 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2731 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2733 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2735 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2738 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2739 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2740 keywords because we need to localize them.
2741 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2743 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2744 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2745 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2748 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2752 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2753 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2756 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2757 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2758 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2760 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2762 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2763 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2764 bottom of your class file.
2767 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2770 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2772 - improved error message when loading modules so
2773 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2774 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2775 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2778 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2779 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2780 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2783 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2785 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2786 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2787 turn them on for you.
2788 - added tests for this
2789 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2790 in Moose::Meta::Class
2793 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2794 automatically turned on for you.
2795 - added tests for this
2798 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2799 - added tests for this
2800 - added some more edge case tests

2816 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2817 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2818 - This release works in combination with
2819 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2820 release because it uses the a new
2821 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2822 complete Role implementation. It has
2823 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2824 the the previous CPAN version. This
2825 release also lacks good updated docs,
2826 the official release will have updated docs.
2829 - refactored the keyword exports
2830 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2831 accepts more than one Role at a time
2832 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2833 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2836 - refactored the keyword exports
2837 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2838 accepts more than one Role at a time
2840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2841 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2842 string enumerations which can be used as
2844 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2847 - more careful checking of params to new()
2850 - much work done on the role composition
2851 - many new tests for conflict detection
2852 and composition edge cases
2853 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2854 looking at the tests
2856 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2857 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2858 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2860 * Moose::Meta::Class
2861 - some small changes to support the new
2863 - some small additions to support Roles
2865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2866 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2868 - some small changes to support the new
2870 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2871 with the 'handles' option
2872 - added several tests for this
2873 - no docs for this yet
2875 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2877 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2878 thanks to chansen for this commit
2879 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2880 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2881 on a per-attribute basis
2882 - added tests for this
2883 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2884 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2885 experimental feature and probably not finished
