1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - The unimport subs it generates now clean up re-exported functions like
6 blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere
9 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
10 - Changed Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets
11 from substr et al, again. (sorear)
12 - Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
14 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
15 - This recipe was broken. Fix suggested by jrey.
18 - Add Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports to allow easier testing
19 of TypeConsraints from the command line. (perigrin)
22 - Added a with_immutable test function, to run a block of tests with and
23 without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
26 - Use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if
28 - Use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general
29 failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed
31 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
32 - Grammar error [rt.cpan.org #51791] (Amir E. Aharoni)
34 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
36 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
40 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
42 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
43 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
44 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
46 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
47 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
48 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
50 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
51 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
54 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
55 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
58 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
59 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
60 remove_accessors. (doy)
62 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
63 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
64 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
66 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
67 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
69 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
70 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
71 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
72 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
75 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
76 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
78 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
79 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
81 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
83 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
84 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
87 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
88 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
89 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
90 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
91 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
93 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
94 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
95 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
96 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
97 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
98 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
99 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
102 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
103 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
104 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
105 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
106 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
108 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
109 which were not receiving the value of
110 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
111 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
112 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
113 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
117 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
118 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
119 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
120 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
121 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
124 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
125 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
126 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
127 - added tests for this (Stevan)
130 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
131 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
132 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
135 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
137 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
140 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
141 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
144 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
145 class if you pass it options for
146 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
147 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
148 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
149 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
150 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
151 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
152 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
153 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
154 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
156 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
157 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
158 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
159 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
160 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
163 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
165 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
166 existing delegation API. (hdp)
168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
169 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
170 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
171 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
172 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
173 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
176 * Moose::Error::Croak
177 * Moose::Error::Confess
178 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
179 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
182 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
185 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
186 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
187 installing a broken sub. (doy)
190 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
193 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
194 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
195 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
197 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
198 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
199 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
200 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
201 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
204 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
207 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
209 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
210 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
213 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
214 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
218 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
219 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
222 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
223 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
224 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
225 using it for new code!
227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
228 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
229 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
230 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
232 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
233 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
234 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
235 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
236 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
237 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
238 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
239 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
242 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
245 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
246 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
250 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
253 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
254 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
258 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
259 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
262 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
263 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
266 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
267 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
270 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
272 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
273 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
274 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
275 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
277 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
279 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
283 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
284 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
286 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
287 associated_methods. (hdp)
288 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
289 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
290 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
291 misspelled) arguments
293 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
294 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
295 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
296 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
300 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
302 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
306 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
307 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
310 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
311 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
313 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
315 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
316 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
318 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
319 * Moose::Manual::Types
320 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
321 string parsing rathole (mst)
323 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
324 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
325 using plain objects instead
327 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
328 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
331 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
333 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
334 three times today (perigrin)
335 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
336 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
339 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
340 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
341 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
344 - A role's required methods are now represented by
345 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
346 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
347 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
348 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
349 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
352 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
353 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
354 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
355 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
358 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
360 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
363 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
365 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
368 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
369 during global destruction. This method has been made more
370 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
374 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
375 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
378 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
379 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
381 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
382 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
383 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
386 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
388 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
389 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
392 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
396 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
397 methods during global destruction (doy)
400 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
401 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
405 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
406 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
409 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
410 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
413 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
414 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
416 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
418 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
422 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
423 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
424 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
427 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
428 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
429 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
432 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
434 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
435 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
436 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
440 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
441 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
442 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
444 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
445 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
446 of the Moose core (Sartak)
449 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
452 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
453 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
454 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
458 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
459 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
462 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
464 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
467 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
468 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
471 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
472 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
475 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
476 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
479 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
482 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
485 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
489 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
492 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
495 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
496 * More deprecations and renamings
497 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
498 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
499 when an object is constructed)
502 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
503 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
504 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
506 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
507 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
508 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
509 feature, and it works again.
512 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
514 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
516 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
517 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
518 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
521 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
522 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
523 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
524 message. Test provided by perigrin.
526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
527 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
528 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
529 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
530 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
533 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
534 metaclass object. (hdp)
536 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
537 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
538 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
539 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
540 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
541 point out this fact. (hdp)
543 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
544 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
546 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
547 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
551 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
552 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
553 called during instance construction were passed the
554 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
555 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
557 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
558 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
561 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
562 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
563 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
566 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
567 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
568 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
569 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
570 them, but they are not for "public" use.
573 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
575 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
576 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
577 when an object is constructed)
578 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
580 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
581 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
582 when an object is constructed)
583 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
584 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
585 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
588 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
590 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
591 * No changes from 0.72_01.
593 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
595 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
596 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
597 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
600 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
601 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
603 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
605 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
606 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
608 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
609 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
612 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
613 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
616 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
617 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
618 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
621 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
625 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
626 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
627 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
630 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
633 * Moose::Manual::Delta
634 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
635 with recommended workarounds.
637 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
638 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
641 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
642 (yes, spelled like that).
644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
645 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
648 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
649 changes in latest Class::MOP.
651 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
654 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
655 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
656 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
657 instead. Reported by doy.
659 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
661 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
662 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
665 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
666 message) is now deprecated.
667 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
668 often got it wrong. For example:
670 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
672 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
676 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
677 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
678 bite you in weird cases.
680 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
681 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
682 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
685 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
686 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
690 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
693 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
694 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
697 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
698 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
701 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
704 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
706 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
707 - added tests for this (stevan)
709 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
710 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
711 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
712 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
716 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
717 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
718 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
719 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
721 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
722 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
723 - added tests for this (rafl)
725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
726 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
727 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
728 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
732 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
733 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
736 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
737 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
738 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
740 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
742 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
743 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
746 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
747 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
748 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
749 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
752 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
753 error message did not specify the attribute name
756 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
758 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
760 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
761 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
762 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
765 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
768 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
770 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
771 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
772 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
773 of fixes and formatting improvements.
775 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
777 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
778 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
779 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
780 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
783 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
784 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
787 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
788 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
789 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
790 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
793 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
794 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
795 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
796 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
799 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
800 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
801 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
802 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
803 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
805 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
806 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
807 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
808 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
809 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
810 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
813 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
815 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
816 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
817 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
818 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
821 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
824 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
828 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
829 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
831 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
832 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
833 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
836 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
838 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
840 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
841 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
842 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
843 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
846 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
849 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
850 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
852 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
854 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
857 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
858 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
859 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
860 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
861 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
862 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
865 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
866 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
867 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
868 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
869 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
870 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
871 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
872 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
873 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
875 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
877 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
878 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
881 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
882 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
883 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
885 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
886 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
887 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
888 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
889 same methods for a single role did not work
890 right (worked just fine with multiple
892 - added test for this (stevan)
894 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
895 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
896 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
899 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
900 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
901 - added test for this (t0m)
904 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
905 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
906 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
909 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
910 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
911 - added test for this (t0m)
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
914 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
915 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
916 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
917 - added test for this (perigrin)
920 - create method for constructing a role
922 - added test for this (Sartak)
923 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
924 - added test for this (Sartak)
927 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
929 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
930 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
931 methods is useful (Sartak)
933 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
934 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
935 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
939 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
940 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
941 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
942 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
943 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
944 - added tests for this (jdv79)
947 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
948 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
951 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
952 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
953 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
954 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
956 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
958 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
959 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
960 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
963 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
964 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
965 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
966 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
967 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
968 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
972 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
973 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
974 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
975 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
976 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
977 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
978 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
979 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
980 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
981 future. (jnapiorkowski)
983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
984 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
988 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
989 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
990 type. (jnapiorkowski)
991 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
993 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
995 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
996 predicate, and link to more details sections in
997 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1000 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1002 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1003 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1004 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1005 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1008 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1009 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1011 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1013 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1014 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1016 * Moose::Meta::Class
1017 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1018 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1019 a required attribute
1021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1022 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1023 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1024 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1027 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1030 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1031 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1032 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1033 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1034 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1035 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1036 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1039 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1040 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1042 * Roles and role application
1043 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1044 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1045 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1046 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1047 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1049 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1050 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1054 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1055 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1056 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1057 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1060 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1061 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1062 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1063 changes in the Moose internals.
1065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1067 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1070 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1071 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1072 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1073 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1075 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1076 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1077 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1078 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1081 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1082 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1083 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1084 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1085 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1086 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1087 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1088 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1089 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1090 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1091 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1092 constraint implementations.
1094 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1098 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1099 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1100 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1101 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1102 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1103 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 - added tests for this (rafl)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Class
1107 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1108 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1109 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1110 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1111 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1112 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1113 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1114 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1117 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1118 - added tests for this (thepler)
1120 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1121 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1122 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1123 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1126 * Moose::Meta::Class
1127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1128 * Moose::Meta::Method
1131 * Moose::Error::Default
1132 * Moose::Error::Croak
1133 * Moose::Error::Confess
1134 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1135 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1136 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1137 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1138 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1139 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1141 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1143 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1144 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 * Moose::Unsweetened
1147 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1148 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1149 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1152 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1153 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1154 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1155 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1158 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1159 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1161 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1162 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1163 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1164 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1167 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1169 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1170 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1172 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1175 - Various bug fixes.
1177 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1178 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1180 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1182 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1183 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1184 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1185 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1186 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1187 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1190 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1191 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1193 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1195 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1198 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1199 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1200 dependency to 0.64_07.
1202 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1203 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1204 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1207 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1211 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1212 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1213 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1214 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1215 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1218 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1220 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1223 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1227 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1228 method when that method was provided by another role being
1229 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1232 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1234 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1235 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1238 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1239 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1240 - added test for this (t0m)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1243 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1244 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1246 - added test for this (t0m)
1249 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1250 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1251 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1255 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1257 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1259 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1260 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1262 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1263 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1264 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1266 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1267 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1270 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1272 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1273 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1277 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1278 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1279 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1283 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1284 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1285 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1288 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1292 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1293 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1294 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1296 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1298 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1299 created so that the process can be more easily
1300 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1303 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1304 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1305 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1308 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1311 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1312 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1314 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1315 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1316 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1318 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1319 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1320 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1323 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1325 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1326 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1330 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1334 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1335 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1337 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1338 ... this is not my day today ...
1340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1341 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1342 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1343 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1344 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1347 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1348 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1349 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1350 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1351 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1354 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1356 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1357 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1358 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1359 this is not ever something you want to do
1360 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1361 - added tests for this (stevan)
1364 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1366 - added test for this
1368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1375 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1377 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1378 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1379 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)

1384 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1386 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1390 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1391 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1392 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1393 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1394 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1395 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1396 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 - added tests for this
1399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1400 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1401 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1402 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1404 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1509 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1510 XS based functionality is now optional
1511 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1512 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1513 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1587 ->body when looping through the
1588 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1590 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

1616 drink more coffee before
1617 doing release engineering
1619 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1734 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1736 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2069 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2070 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2073 - fixed how required methods are handled
2074 when they encounter overriden or modified
2075 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2076 - added tests for this
2078 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2079 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2080 the | always creates a union and so is
2081 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2082 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2084 - added more tests for this
2086 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2089 * Parameterized Types
2090 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2091 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2092 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2093 They can also be nested:
2094 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2095 And work with the type unions as well:
2096 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2098 * Better Framework Extendability
2099 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2100 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2101 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2102 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2105 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2106 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2107 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2108 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2111 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2113 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2114 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2163 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2165 - added tests for this
2167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2173 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2174 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2176 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2193 (thanks to shlomif).
2195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2196 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2197 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2198 - added tests for this

2235 - added tests for these
2237 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2238 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2241 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2246 (but not changing the handles option)
2247 - added tests and docs for this
2250 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2251 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2256 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2262 the other side (perigrin)
2264 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2265 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2266 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2267 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2268 prototypes for functions
2269 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2270 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2280 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2283 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2284 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2285 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2286 - added tests for this
2288 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2290 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2308 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2309 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2311 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2312 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2314 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2315 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2316 so this release is just to fix that.
2319 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2320 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2321 (thanks to konobi for this)
2322 - added tests and docs
2324 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2325 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2328 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2329 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2330 - added tests for this

2332 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2333 functions to facilitate introspection.
2335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2336 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2337 to build the list of delegated methods
2338 correctly (and not override important
2339 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2341 - added tests and docs for this
2342 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2343 so that you can actually document your
2344 attributes and inspect them through the
2346 - added tests and docs for this
2348 * Moose::Meta::Class
2349 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2350 it will first look in for the class in the
2351 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2352 then default to just loading $name.
2353 - added tests and docs for this
2355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2356 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2357 - added test for this
2360 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2361 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2362 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2363 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2365 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2366 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2369 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2371 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2372 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2373 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2376 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2377 !! for this developer release to work !!
2379 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2380 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2381 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2382 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2383 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2384 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2385 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2386 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2387 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2388 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2389 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2391 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2392 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2393 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2394 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2397 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2399 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2400 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2401 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2403 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2405 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2406 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2409 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2410 called unless they actually need to be.
2411 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2412 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2413 DEMOLISH method present.
2415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2416 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2417 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2418 type constraint, which allows for a
2419 hand optimized version of the type
2420 constraint to be used when possible.
2421 - Any internally created type constraints
2422 now provide an optimized version as well.
2424 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2426 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2427 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2428 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2431 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2432 your class namespace of these exported
2435 * Moose::Meta::Class
2436 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2437 comes up during global destruction
2439 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2443 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2447 - changed how we do type checks so that
2448 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2451 - moved accessor generation methods to
2452 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2453 conform to the API changes from
2456 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2457 - changed how constraints are compiled
2458 so that we do less recursion and more
2459 iteration. This makes the type check
2461 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2465 - created this from methods formerly found in
2466 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2468 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2469 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2472 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2474 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2475 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2477 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2480 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2481 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2482 - added tests for this
2483 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2484 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2485 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2486 - removed tests for this
2488 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2490 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2491 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2492 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2495 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2496 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2497 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2499 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2500 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2501 comments for more info.
2504 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2505 asked questions and common problems
2507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2508 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2509 - added tests for this
2511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2512 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2513 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2514 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2516 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2517 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2520 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2521 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2522 is much appreciated :)
2523 - added tests for this
2525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2526 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2527 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2531 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2533 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2535 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2536 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2540 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2541 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2542 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2544 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2546 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2549 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2550 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2551 keywords because we need to localize them.
2552 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2554 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2555 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2556 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2559 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2563 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2564 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2567 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2568 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2569 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2571 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2573 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2574 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2575 bottom of your class file.
2578 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2581 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2583 - improved error message when loading modules so
2584 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2585 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2586 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2589 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2590 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2591 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2593 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2594 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2596 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2597 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2598 turn them on for you.
2599 - added tests for this
2600 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2601 in Moose::Meta::Class
2604 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2605 automatically turned on for you.
2606 - added tests for this
2609 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2610 - added tests for this
2611 - added some more edge case tests

2624 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2627 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2628 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2629 - This release works in combination with
2630 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2631 release because it uses the a new
2632 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2633 complete Role implementation. It has
2634 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2635 the the previous CPAN version. This
2636 release also lacks good updated docs,
2637 the official release will have updated docs.
2640 - refactored the keyword exports
2641 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2642 accepts more than one Role at a time
2643 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2644 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2647 - refactored the keyword exports
2648 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2649 accepts more than one Role at a time
2651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2652 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2653 string enumerations which can be used as
2655 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2658 - more careful checking of params to new()
2661 - much work done on the role composition
2662 - many new tests for conflict detection
2663 and composition edge cases
2664 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2665 looking at the tests
2667 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2668 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2669 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2671 * Moose::Meta::Class
2672 - some small changes to support the new
2674 - some small additions to support Roles
2676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2677 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2679 - some small changes to support the new
2681 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2682 with the 'handles' option
2683 - added several tests for this
2684 - no docs for this yet
2686 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2688 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2689 thanks to chansen for this commit
2690 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2691 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2692 on a per-attribute basis
2693 - added tests for this
2694 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2695 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2696 experimental feature and probably not finished
2697 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2698 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2699 - added tests for this
2702 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2709 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2710 thanks to chansen for this commit

2713 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
2714 construct_instance (for the better)
2716 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2717 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
2718 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)
