1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
9 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
10 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
11 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
15 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
16 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
21 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
22 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
25 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
28 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
29 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
30 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
31 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
35 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
36 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
37 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
38 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
41 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
45 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
46 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
49 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
50 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
51 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
53 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
54 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
55 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. Fixes RT 60583. (doy)
57 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
58 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
61 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
62 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
63 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
65 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
66 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
71 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
72 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
73 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
74 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
76 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
80 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
81 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
82 the attribute's reference.
86 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
87 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
91 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
92 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
93 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
96 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
97 the Object constraint).
99 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
103 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
104 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
109 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
111 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
115 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
118 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
120 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
124 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
126 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
130 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
133 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
134 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
135 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
137 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
140 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
144 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
146 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
150 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
152 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
156 * Include changes from 2.0010.
158 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
162 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
163 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
167 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
168 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
169 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
174 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
176 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
180 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
181 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
183 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
187 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
189 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
193 * Various packaging issues.
195 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
199 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
200 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
205 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
206 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
207 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
211 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
212 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
213 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
215 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
219 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
220 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
222 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
226 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
227 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
229 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
232 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
233 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
237 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
238 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
240 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
244 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
245 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
249 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
251 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
255 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
257 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
261 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
262 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
264 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
268 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
270 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
274 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
276 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
277 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
279 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
283 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
284 skips every other role. (rjbs)
286 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
287 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
288 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
289 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
290 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
292 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
296 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
297 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
298 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
301 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
306 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
308 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
309 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
311 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
315 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
316 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
317 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
321 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
322 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
324 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
325 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
327 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
328 environments. (doy, mateu)
330 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
334 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
335 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
336 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
337 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
341 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
342 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
344 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
348 * Update conflicts list.
351 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
355 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
356 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
357 details. (Dave Rolsky)
359 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
360 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
361 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
362 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
363 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
367 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
368 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
369 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
370 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
371 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
374 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
378 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
379 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
381 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
384 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
388 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
389 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
390 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
391 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
393 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
394 immutable classes). (mo)
396 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
397 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
398 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
400 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
404 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
406 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
408 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
412 * Fix some indexing issues.
414 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
416 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
420 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
421 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
422 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
423 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
424 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
426 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
427 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
432 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
433 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
434 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
435 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
437 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
438 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
439 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
443 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
444 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
447 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
451 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
452 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
456 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
460 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
461 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
462 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
463 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
466 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
470 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
473 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
477 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
478 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
479 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
482 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
486 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
487 policy. (Chris Prather)
489 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
490 on this new support policy. (doy)
494 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
495 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
496 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
498 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
499 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
501 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
505 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
506 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
507 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
508 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
511 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
515 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
516 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
519 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
523 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
524 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
526 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
527 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
531 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
532 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
533 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
534 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
535 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
536 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
538 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
539 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
541 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
542 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
543 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
544 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
547 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
549 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
554 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
555 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
557 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
561 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
562 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
563 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
565 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
569 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
570 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
571 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
573 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
574 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
577 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
578 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
581 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
582 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
583 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
585 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
586 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
591 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
592 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
593 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
594 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
597 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
599 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
600 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
602 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
603 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
604 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
605 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
607 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
608 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
609 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
612 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
613 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
614 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
615 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
617 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
618 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
621 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
622 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
623 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
625 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
629 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
630 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
631 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
633 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
634 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
635 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
638 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
639 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
640 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
642 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
643 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
644 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
646 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
647 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
651 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
652 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
653 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
655 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
656 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
657 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
658 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
660 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
664 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
665 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
666 value is a reference.
668 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
669 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
671 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
675 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
676 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
677 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
679 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
683 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
684 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
688 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
689 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
690 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
693 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
694 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
696 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
700 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
702 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
706 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
708 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
709 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
714 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
715 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
717 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
718 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
719 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
720 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
721 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
724 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
725 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
726 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
728 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
732 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
733 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
738 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
740 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
742 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
747 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
749 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
753 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
754 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
755 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
757 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
758 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
759 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
760 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
762 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
763 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
764 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
765 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
766 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
769 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
774 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
775 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
776 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
777 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
778 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
781 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
785 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
788 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
789 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
793 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
794 function (not just method). (doy)
798 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
799 and aren't easily installable/testable.
801 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
805 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
806 to be overridden more easily (doy).
808 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
812 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
813 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
815 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
819 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
820 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
821 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
823 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
827 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
828 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
829 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
831 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
832 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
836 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
837 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
839 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
840 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
844 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
845 is applied to a class (t0m).
847 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
848 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
850 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
853 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
854 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
856 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
857 be much more robust. (doy)
859 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
861 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
864 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
868 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
869 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
871 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
875 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
876 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
878 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
881 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
882 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
883 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
885 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
886 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
887 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
890 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
892 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
896 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
897 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
901 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
903 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
908 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
912 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
913 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
917 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
919 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
923 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
924 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
928 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
929 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
933 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
934 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
936 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
940 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
941 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
942 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
945 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
949 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
950 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
951 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
952 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
954 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
958 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
959 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
960 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
964 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
967 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
972 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
973 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
977 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
978 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
980 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
981 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
982 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
983 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
985 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
989 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
993 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
994 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
996 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
997 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
998 - Moose::Util::does_role
999 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1000 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1001 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1003 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1007 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1008 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1009 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1016 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1017 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1020 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1024 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1025 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1032 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1034 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1035 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1037 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1038 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1039 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1042 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1043 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1046 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1047 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1049 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1050 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1051 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1053 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1055 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1056 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1058 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1060 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1063 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1064 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1066 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1067 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1069 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1070 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1071 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1072 dependencies installed.
1074 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1075 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1078 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1080 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1084 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1087 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1088 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1090 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1091 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1092 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1094 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1095 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1098 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1099 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1100 others. (nothingmuch)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1103 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1104 remove_accessors. (doy)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1107 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1108 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1111 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1113 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1115 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1116 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Class
1119 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1120 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1123 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1125 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1127 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1128 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1132 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1133 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1134 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1135 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1137 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1140 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1141 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1142 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1143 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1147 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1148 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1149 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1150 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1152 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1153 which were not receiving the value of
1154 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1155 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1156 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1157 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1161 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1162 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1163 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1164 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1165 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1168 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1169 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1170 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1171 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1173 * Moose::Meta::Class
1174 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1175 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1176 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1179 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1181 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1184 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1185 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1188 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1189 class if you pass it options for
1190 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1191 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1192 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1193 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1194 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1195 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1196 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1197 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1198 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1201 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1202 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1203 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1204 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1207 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1208 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1209 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1210 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1213 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1214 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1215 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1216 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1217 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1220 * Moose::Error::Croak
1221 * Moose::Error::Confess
1222 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1223 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1226 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1229 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1230 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1231 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1233 * Moose::Meta::Class
1234 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1237 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1238 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1239 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1242 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1243 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1244 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1245 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1248 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1251 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1253 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1254 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1257 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1258 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1262 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1263 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1266 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1267 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1268 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1269 using it for new code!
1271 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1272 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1273 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1274 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1276 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1277 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1278 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1279 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1280 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1281 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1282 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1283 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1286 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1289 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1290 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1294 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1297 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1298 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1300 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1302 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1303 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1305 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1306 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1307 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1310 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1311 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1314 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1316 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1317 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1318 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1319 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1321 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1323 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1327 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1328 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1330 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1331 associated_methods. (hdp)
1332 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1333 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1334 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1335 misspelled) arguments
1337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1338 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1339 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1340 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1343 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1344 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1346 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1350 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1351 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1354 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1355 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1357 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1358 * Moose::Meta::Class
1359 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1360 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1362 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1363 * Moose::Manual::Types
1364 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1365 string parsing rathole (mst)
1367 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1368 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1369 using plain objects instead
1371 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1372 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1373 that's what we need.
1375 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1376 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1377 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1378 three times today (perigrin)
1379 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1380 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1383 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1384 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1385 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1388 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1389 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1390 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1391 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1392 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1393 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1396 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1397 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1398 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1399 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1402 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1404 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1407 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1409 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1412 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1413 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1414 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1418 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1419 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1422 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1423 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1425 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1426 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1427 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1429 * Moose::Unsweetened
1430 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1432 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1433 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1436 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1440 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1441 methods during global destruction (doy)
1443 * Moose::Meta::Class
1444 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1445 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1446 consumption (Sartak)
1448 * Moose::Meta::Class
1449 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1450 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1453 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1454 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1457 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1458 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1460 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1462 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1466 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1467 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1468 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1472 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1473 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1476 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1478 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1479 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1480 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1484 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1485 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1486 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1488 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1489 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1490 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1493 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1496 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1497 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1498 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1502 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1503 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1505 * Moose::Meta::Class
1506 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1508 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1510 * Moose::Meta::Class
1511 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1512 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1515 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1516 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1519 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1520 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1523 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1526 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1529 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1532 * Moose::Meta::Class
1533 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1536 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1539 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1540 * More deprecations and renamings
1541 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1542 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1543 when an object is constructed)
1546 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1547 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1548 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1551 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1552 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1553 feature, and it works again.
1556 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1558 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1560 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1561 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1562 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1565 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1566 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1567 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1568 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1570 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1571 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1572 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1573 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1574 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1577 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1578 metaclass object. (hdp)
1580 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1581 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1584 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1585 point out this fact. (hdp)
1587 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1588 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1591 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1593 * Moose::Meta::Class
1594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1595 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1596 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1597 called during instance construction were passed the
1598 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1599 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1601 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1602 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1606 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1607 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1610 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1611 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1612 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1613 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1614 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1616 - Moose::Meta::Class
1617 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1619 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1620 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1621 when an object is constructed)
1622 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1624 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1625 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1626 when an object is constructed)
1627 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1628 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1629 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1632 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1634 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1635 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1637 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1639 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1640 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1641 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1644 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1645 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1647 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1649 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1650 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1652 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1653 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1656 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1657 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1660 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1661 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1662 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1665 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1669 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1670 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1671 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1674 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1677 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1678 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1679 with recommended workarounds.
1681 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1682 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1685 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1686 (yes, spelled like that).
1688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1689 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1691 * Moose::Meta::Class
1692 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1693 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1695 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1698 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1699 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1700 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1701 instead. Reported by doy.
1703 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1705 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1706 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1709 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1710 message) is now deprecated.
1711 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1712 often got it wrong. For example:
1714 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1716 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1720 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1721 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1722 bite you in weird cases.
1724 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1726 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1727 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1730 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1734 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1737 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1738 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1741 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1742 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1744 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1745 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1748 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1750 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1751 - added tests for this (stevan)
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1754 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1755 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1756 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1760 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1761 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1762 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1763 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1765 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1766 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1767 - added tests for this (rafl)
1769 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1770 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1771 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1772 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1776 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1777 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1781 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1782 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1784 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1786 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1787 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1789 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1790 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1791 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1792 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1793 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1796 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1797 error message did not specify the attribute name
1800 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1802 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1804 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1805 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1806 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1809 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1812 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1814 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1815 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1816 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1817 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1819 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1821 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1822 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1823 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1824 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1827 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1828 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1831 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1832 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1833 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1834 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1837 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1838 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1839 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1840 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1842 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1843 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1844 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1845 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1846 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1847 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1849 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1850 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1851 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1852 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1853 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1854 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1856 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1857 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1859 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1860 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1861 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1862 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1865 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1868 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1872 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1873 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1875 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1876 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1877 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1878 guts. (nothingmuch).
1880 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1882 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1885 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1886 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1887 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1889 * Moose::Meta::Class
1890 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1893 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1894 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1897 * Moose::Unsweetened
1898 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1901 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1902 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1903 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1904 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1905 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1906 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1909 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1910 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1911 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1912 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1913 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1914 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1916 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1917 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1921 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1922 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1925 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1926 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1927 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1930 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1931 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1932 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1933 same methods for a single role did not work
1934 right (worked just fine with multiple
1936 - added test for this (stevan)
1938 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1939 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1940 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1943 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1944 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1945 - added test for this (t0m)
1948 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1949 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1950 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1953 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1954 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1955 - added test for this (t0m)
1957 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1958 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1959 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1960 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1961 - added test for this (perigrin)
1964 - create method for constructing a role
1965 dynamically (Sartak)
1966 - added test for this (Sartak)
1967 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1968 - added test for this (Sartak)
1971 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1974 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1975 methods is useful (Sartak)
1977 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1979 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1982 * Moose::Meta::Class
1983 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1984 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1985 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1986 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1987 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1991 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1992 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1995 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1996 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1997 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1998 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2002 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2003 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2007 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2008 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2009 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2010 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2011 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2012 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2016 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2017 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2018 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2019 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2020 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2021 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2022 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2023 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2024 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2025 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2027 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2028 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2032 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2033 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2034 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2035 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2037 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2039 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2040 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2041 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2044 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2047 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2048 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2049 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2052 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2053 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2055 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2057 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2058 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2060 * Moose::Meta::Class
2061 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2062 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2063 a required attribute
2065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2066 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2067 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2068 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2070 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2071 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2074 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2075 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2076 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2077 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2078 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2079 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2080 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2082 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2083 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2084 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2086 * Roles and role application
2087 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2088 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2089 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2090 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2091 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2093 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2094 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2097 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2098 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2099 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2100 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2101 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2104 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2105 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2106 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2107 changes in the Moose internals.
2109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2111 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2114 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2115 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2116 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2117 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2120 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2121 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2122 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2124 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2125 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2126 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2127 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2128 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2129 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2130 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2131 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2132 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2133 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2134 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2135 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2136 constraint implementations.
2138 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2142 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2143 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2144 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2145 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2146 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2147 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2148 - added tests for this (rafl)
2150 * Moose::Meta::Class
2151 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2152 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2153 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2154 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2155 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2156 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2157 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2158 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2161 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2162 - added tests for this (thepler)
2164 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2165 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2166 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2167 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2170 * Moose::Meta::Class
2171 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2172 * Moose::Meta::Method
2175 * Moose::Error::Default
2176 * Moose::Error::Croak
2177 * Moose::Error::Confess
2178 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2179 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2180 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2181 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2182 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2183 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2185 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2187 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2188 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2190 * Moose::Unsweetened
2191 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2192 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2193 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2196 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2197 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2198 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2199 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2202 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2203 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2205 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2206 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2207 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2208 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2211 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2213 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2214 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

2226 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2227 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2228 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2229 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2230 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2231 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2247 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2248 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2251 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2255 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2256 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2257 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2258 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2259 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2261 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2262 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2264 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2266 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2267 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2271 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2272 method when that method was provided by another role being
2273 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2274 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2276 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2284 - added test for this (t0m)
2286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2287 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2288 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2290 - added test for this (t0m)
2293 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2294 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2295 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2298 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2299 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2301 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2303 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2304 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2306 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2307 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2308 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2310 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2311 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2314 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2315 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2317 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2321 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2322 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2323 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2327 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2328 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2329 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2332 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2336 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2338 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2340 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2342 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2343 created so that the process can be more easily

2378 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2379 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2381 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2382 ... this is not my day today ...
2384 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2385 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2386 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2387 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2388 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2391 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2392 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2393 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2394 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2395 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2398 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2400 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2401 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2402 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2403 this is not ever something you want to do
2404 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2405 - added tests for this (stevan)
2408 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2410 - added test for this

2419 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2421 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2422 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2423 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2426 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2428 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2430 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2434 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2435 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2436 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2437 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2438 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2439 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2440 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2441 - added tests for this
2443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2444 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2445 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2446 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2448 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2514 (early morning release engineering)--
2516 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2517 which was causing the indexer to choke
2519 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2520 (late night release engineering)--
2522 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2523 changes in this release

2533 * Moose::Meta::Class
2535 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2536 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2540 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2541 method for immutablization to check if the
2542 destructor object even needs to be created
2545 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2546 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2547 - added more descriptive error message to help
2548 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2549 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2551 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2553 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2554 XS based functionality is now optional
2555 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2556 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2557 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2559 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2560 to take care of this, mostly we added
2561 support for the package_name and name
2562 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2563 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2564 support regexp matching of names
2565 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2566 - tests added for this
2567 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2568 is currently not supported in roles,
2569 but, ... patches welcome
2570 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2571 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2572 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2575 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2576 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2577 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2578 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2579 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2580 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2581 - added test for this
2583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2584 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2585 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2588 * Moose::Meta::Class
2589 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2593 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2595 - added tests for this
2596 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2597 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2600 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2601 themselves parameterizable types
2603 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2605 called by the inlined immutable
2607 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2609 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2610 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2611 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2612 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2614 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2615 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2627 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2630 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2631 ->body when looping through the
2632 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2634 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2635 eating the $@ values, and so not
2636 working correctly, it still kind of
2637 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2638 - added tests for this
2640 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2641 - added new recipe for immutable
2642 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2644 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2660 drink more coffee before
2661 doing release engineering
2663 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2664 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2665 modules. This fixes that.

2697 - added test for this
2699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2778 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2780 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2781 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2782 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2783 officially support it.

2824 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2825 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3071 - added tests for this
3074 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3075 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3117 - fixed how required methods are handled
3118 when they encounter overriden or modified
3119 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3120 - added tests for this
3122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3124 the | always creates a union and so is
3125 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3126 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3128 - added more tests for this
3130 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3133 * Parameterized Types
3134 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3135 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3136 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3137 They can also be nested:
3138 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3139 And work with the type unions as well:
3140 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3142 * Better Framework Extendability
3143 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3144 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3145 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3146 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3149 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3150 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3151 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3152 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3392 * Moose::Meta::Class
3393 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3394 it will first look in for the class in the
3395 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3396 then default to just loading $name.
3397 - added tests and docs for this
3399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3400 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3401 - added test for this

3406 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3407 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3409 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3410 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3413 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3415 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3416 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3417 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3420 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3421 !! for this developer release to work !!
3423 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3424 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3425 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3426 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3427 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3428 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3429 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3430 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3431 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3432 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3433 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3435 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3436 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3437 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3438 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3441 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3443 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3444 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3445 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3447 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3449 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3450 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3453 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3454 called unless they actually need to be.
3455 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3456 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3457 DEMOLISH method present.
3459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3461 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3462 type constraint, which allows for a
3463 hand optimized version of the type
3464 constraint to be used when possible.
3465 - Any internally created type constraints
3466 now provide an optimized version as well.
3468 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3470 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3471 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3472 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3474 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3475 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3476 your class namespace of these exported
3479 * Moose::Meta::Class
3480 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3481 comes up during global destruction
3483 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3487 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3490 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3491 - changed how we do type checks so that
3492 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3495 - moved accessor generation methods to
3496 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3497 conform to the API changes from
3500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3501 - changed how constraints are compiled
3502 so that we do less recursion and more
3503 iteration. This makes the type check
3505 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3509 - created this from methods formerly found in
3510 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3512 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3513 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3515 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3516 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3518 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3519 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3521 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3524 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3525 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3526 - added tests for this
3527 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3528 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3529 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3530 - removed tests for this
3532 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3534 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3535 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3536 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3539 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3540 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3541 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3543 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3544 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3545 comments for more info.
3548 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3549 asked questions and common problems
3551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3552 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3553 - added tests for this
3555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3556 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3557 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3558 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3560 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3561 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3564 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3565 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3566 is much appreciated :)
3567 - added tests for this
3569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3570 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3571 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3575 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3577 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3579 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3580 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3584 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3585 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3586 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3588 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3590 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3593 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3594 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3595 keywords because we need to localize them.
3596 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3598 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3599 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3600 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3603 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3607 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3608 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3611 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3612 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3613 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3615 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3617 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3618 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3619 bottom of your class file.
3622 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3625 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3627 - improved error message when loading modules so
3628 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3629 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3630 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3633 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3634 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3635 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3637 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3638 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3640 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3641 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3642 turn them on for you.
3643 - added tests for this
3644 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3645 in Moose::Meta::Class
3648 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3649 automatically turned on for you.

3671 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3672 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3673 - This release works in combination with
3674 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3675 release because it uses the a new
3676 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3677 complete Role implementation. It has
3678 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3679 the the previous CPAN version. This
3680 release also lacks good updated docs,
3681 the official release will have updated docs.
3684 - refactored the keyword exports
3685 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3686 accepts more than one Role at a time
3687 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3688 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3691 - refactored the keyword exports
3692 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3693 accepts more than one Role at a time
3695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3696 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3697 string enumerations which can be used as
3699 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3702 - more careful checking of params to new()
3705 - much work done on the role composition
3706 - many new tests for conflict detection
3707 and composition edge cases
3708 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3709 looking at the tests
3711 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3712 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3713 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3715 * Moose::Meta::Class
3716 - some small changes to support the new
3718 - some small additions to support Roles
3720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3721 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3723 - some small changes to support the new
3725 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3726 with the 'handles' option
3727 - added several tests for this
3728 - no docs for this yet
3730 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3732 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3733 thanks to chansen for this commit
3734 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3735 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3736 on a per-attribute basis
3737 - added tests for this
3738 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3739 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3740 experimental feature and probably not finished

3742 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3743 - added tests for this

3805 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3807 - added test for this
3810 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3811 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
