1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2009
8 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
9 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
11 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2009
15 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
16 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
18 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2009
22 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
24 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
27 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
28 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
29 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
31 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
32 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
33 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
36 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
37 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
39 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
40 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
41 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
43 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
45 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
46 substr et al, again. (sorear)
48 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
50 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
53 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
54 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
56 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
57 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
59 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
60 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
61 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
62 dependencies installed.
64 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
65 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
67 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
69 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
73 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
75 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
76 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
77 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
79 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
80 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
81 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
83 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
84 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
87 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
88 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
91 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
92 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
93 remove_accessors. (doy)
95 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
96 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
97 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
99 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
100 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
102 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
104 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
105 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
108 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
109 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
112 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
114 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
116 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
117 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
121 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
122 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
123 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
124 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
126 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
129 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
130 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
131 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
132 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
135 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
136 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
137 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
138 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
139 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
141 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
142 which were not receiving the value of
143 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
144 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
145 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
146 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
150 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
151 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
152 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
153 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
154 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
158 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
159 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
160 - added tests for this (Stevan)
163 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
164 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
165 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
168 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
170 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
173 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
174 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
177 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
178 class if you pass it options for
179 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
180 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
181 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
182 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
183 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
184 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
185 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
186 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
187 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
189 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
190 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
191 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
192 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
193 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
196 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
198 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
199 existing delegation API. (hdp)
201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
202 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
203 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
204 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
205 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
206 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
209 * Moose::Error::Croak
210 * Moose::Error::Confess
211 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
212 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
215 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
218 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
219 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
220 installing a broken sub. (doy)
223 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
226 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
227 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
228 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
230 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
231 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
232 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
233 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
234 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
236 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
237 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
240 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
242 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
243 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
246 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
247 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
251 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
252 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
255 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
256 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
257 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
258 using it for new code!
260 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
261 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
262 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
263 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
265 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
266 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
267 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
268 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
269 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
270 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
271 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
272 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
275 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
278 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
279 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
283 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
286 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
287 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
291 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
292 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
295 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
296 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
299 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
300 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
303 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
305 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
306 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
307 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
308 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
310 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
312 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
316 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
317 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
319 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
320 associated_methods. (hdp)
321 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
322 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
323 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
324 misspelled) arguments
326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
327 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
328 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
329 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
332 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
333 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
335 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
339 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
340 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
343 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
344 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
346 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
348 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
349 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
351 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
352 * Moose::Manual::Types
353 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
354 string parsing rathole (mst)
356 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
357 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
358 using plain objects instead
360 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
361 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
364 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
366 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
367 three times today (perigrin)
368 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
369 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
372 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
373 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
374 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
377 - A role's required methods are now represented by
378 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
379 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
380 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
381 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
382 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
385 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
386 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
387 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
388 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
391 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
393 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
396 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
398 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
401 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
402 during global destruction. This method has been made more
403 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
407 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
408 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
411 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
412 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
414 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
415 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
416 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
419 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
421 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
422 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
425 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
429 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
430 methods during global destruction (doy)
433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
434 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
438 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
439 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
442 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
443 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
446 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
447 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
449 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
451 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
455 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
456 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
457 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
460 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
461 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
462 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
465 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
467 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
469 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
472 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
473 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
474 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
475 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
477 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
478 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
479 of the Moose core (Sartak)
482 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
485 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
486 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
487 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
491 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
492 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
495 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
497 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
500 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
501 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
504 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
505 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
508 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
509 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
512 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
515 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
518 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
522 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
525 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
528 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
529 * More deprecations and renamings
530 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
531 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
532 when an object is constructed)
535 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
536 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
537 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
540 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
541 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
542 feature, and it works again.
545 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
547 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
549 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
550 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
551 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
554 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
555 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
556 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
557 message. Test provided by perigrin.
559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
560 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
561 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
562 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
563 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
566 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
567 metaclass object. (hdp)
569 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
570 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
571 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
572 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
573 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
574 point out this fact. (hdp)
576 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
577 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
579 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
580 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
584 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
585 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
586 called during instance construction were passed the
587 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
588 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
590 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
591 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
594 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
595 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
596 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
599 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
600 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
601 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
602 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
603 them, but they are not for "public" use.
606 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
608 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
609 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
610 when an object is constructed)
611 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
613 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
614 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
615 when an object is constructed)
616 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
617 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
618 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
621 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
623 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
624 * No changes from 0.72_01.
626 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
628 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
629 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
630 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
633 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
634 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
636 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
638 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
639 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
641 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
642 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
645 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
646 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
649 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
650 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
651 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
653 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
654 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
658 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
659 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
660 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
663 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
666 * Moose::Manual::Delta
667 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
668 with recommended workarounds.
670 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
671 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
674 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
675 (yes, spelled like that).
677 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
678 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
681 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
682 changes in latest Class::MOP.
684 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
686 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
687 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
688 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
689 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
690 instead. Reported by doy.
692 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
694 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
695 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
698 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
699 message) is now deprecated.
700 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
701 often got it wrong. For example:
703 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
705 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
709 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
710 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
711 bite you in weird cases.
713 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
714 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
715 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
718 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
719 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
723 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
726 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
727 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
730 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
731 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
734 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
737 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
738 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
739 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
740 - added tests for this (stevan)
742 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
743 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
744 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
745 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
749 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
750 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
751 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
752 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
754 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
755 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
756 - added tests for this (rafl)
758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
759 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
760 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
761 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
765 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
766 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
769 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
770 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
771 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
773 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
775 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
776 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
779 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
780 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
781 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
782 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
784 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
785 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
786 error message did not specify the attribute name
789 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
791 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
793 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
794 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
795 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
797 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
798 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
801 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
803 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
804 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
805 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
806 of fixes and formatting improvements.
808 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
810 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
811 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
812 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
813 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
816 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
817 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
820 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
821 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
822 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
823 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
826 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
827 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
828 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
829 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
832 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
833 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
834 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
835 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
836 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
838 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
839 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
840 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
841 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
842 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
843 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
846 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
848 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
849 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
850 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
851 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
854 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
857 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
861 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
862 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
864 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
865 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
866 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
869 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
871 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
874 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
875 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
876 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
879 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
882 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
883 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
885 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
887 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
890 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
891 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
892 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
893 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
894 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
895 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
898 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
899 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
900 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
901 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
902 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
903 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
904 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
905 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
906 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
908 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
910 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
911 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
914 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
915 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
916 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
918 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
919 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
920 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
921 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
922 same methods for a single role did not work
923 right (worked just fine with multiple
925 - added test for this (stevan)
927 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
928 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
929 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
932 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
933 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
934 - added test for this (t0m)
937 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
938 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
939 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
941 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
942 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
943 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
944 - added test for this (t0m)
946 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
947 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
948 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
949 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
950 - added test for this (perigrin)
953 - create method for constructing a role
955 - added test for this (Sartak)
956 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
957 - added test for this (Sartak)
960 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
962 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
963 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
964 methods is useful (Sartak)
966 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
967 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
968 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
972 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
973 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
974 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
975 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
976 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
977 - added tests for this (jdv79)
980 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
981 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
983 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
984 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
985 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
986 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
987 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
989 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
991 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
992 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
993 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
996 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
997 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
998 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
999 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1000 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1001 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1005 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1006 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1007 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1008 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1009 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1010 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1011 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1012 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1013 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1014 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1017 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1021 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1022 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1023 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1024 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1026 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1028 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1029 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1030 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1033 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1036 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1037 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1038 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1042 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1044 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1046 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1047 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1049 * Moose::Meta::Class
1050 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1051 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1052 a required attribute
1054 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1056 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1057 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1059 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1060 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1062 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1063 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1064 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1065 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1066 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1067 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1068 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1069 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1071 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1072 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1073 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1075 * Roles and role application
1076 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1077 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1078 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1079 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1080 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1082 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1083 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1087 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1088 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1089 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1090 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1093 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1094 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1095 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1096 changes in the Moose internals.
1098 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1099 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1100 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1104 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1105 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1106 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1108 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1109 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1110 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1111 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1114 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1115 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1116 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1117 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1118 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1119 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1120 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1121 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1122 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1123 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1124 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1125 constraint implementations.
1127 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1131 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1132 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1133 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1134 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1135 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1136 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1137 - added tests for this (rafl)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Class
1140 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1141 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1142 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1143 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1144 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1145 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1146 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1150 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1151 - added tests for this (thepler)
1153 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1154 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1155 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1156 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1159 * Moose::Meta::Class
1160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1161 * Moose::Meta::Method
1164 * Moose::Error::Default
1165 * Moose::Error::Croak
1166 * Moose::Error::Confess
1167 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1168 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1169 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1170 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1171 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1172 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1174 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1176 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1177 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1179 * Moose::Unsweetened
1180 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1181 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1182 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1185 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1186 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1187 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1188 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1191 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1192 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1194 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1195 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1196 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1197 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1200 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1202 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1203 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1205 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1208 - Various bug fixes.
1210 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1211 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1213 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1215 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1216 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1217 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1218 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1219 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1220 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1223 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1224 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1228 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1231 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1232 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1233 dependency to 0.64_07.
1235 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1236 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1237 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1240 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1244 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1245 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1246 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1247 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1248 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1251 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1253 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1256 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1260 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1261 method when that method was provided by another role being
1262 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1265 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1267 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1268 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1271 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1272 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1273 - added test for this (t0m)
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1276 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1277 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1279 - added test for this (t0m)
1282 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1283 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1284 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1287 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1288 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1290 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1292 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1293 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1295 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1296 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1297 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1299 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1300 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1305 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1306 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1310 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1311 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1312 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1316 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1317 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1318 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1321 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1325 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1326 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1327 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1329 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1331 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1332 created so that the process can be more easily
1333 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1336 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1337 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1338 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1341 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1344 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1345 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)

1368 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1370 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1371 ... this is not my day today ...
1373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1374 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1375 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1376 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1377 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1380 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1381 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1382 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1383 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1384 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1387 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1389 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1390 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1391 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1392 this is not ever something you want to do
1393 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1394 - added tests for this (stevan)

1419 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1422 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1423 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1424 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1425 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1426 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1427 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1428 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1429 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1430 - added tests for this
1432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1433 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1540 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1542 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1543 XS based functionality is now optional
1544 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1545 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1546 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1767 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1769 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2034 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2035 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2036 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2037 - added tests for this
2038 - added docs for this
2040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2041 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2042 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2043 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2044 instead it will just return undef.
2045 - added docs for this
2047 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2059 with work correctly.
2060 - added tests for this
2063 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2064 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2067 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2068 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2069 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2071 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2103 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2106 - fixed how required methods are handled
2107 when they encounter overriden or modified
2108 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2109 - added tests for this
2111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2112 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2113 the | always creates a union and so is
2114 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2115 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2117 - added more tests for this
2119 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2122 * Parameterized Types
2123 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2124 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2125 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2126 They can also be nested:
2127 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2128 And work with the type unions as well:
2129 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2131 * Better Framework Extendability
2132 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2133 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2134 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2135 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2138 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2139 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2140 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2141 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2144 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2146 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2147 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2206 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2207 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2209 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2226 (thanks to shlomif).
2228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2229 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2230 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2231 - added tests for this
2232 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2234 - added tests for this
2236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2268 - added tests for these
2270 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2271 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2274 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2279 (but not changing the handles option)
2280 - added tests and docs for this
2283 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2284 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2287 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2289 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2295 the other side (perigrin)
2297 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2299 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2300 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2301 prototypes for functions
2302 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2303 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2313 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2316 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2317 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2318 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2319 - added tests for this
2321 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2323 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2336 where not handled correctly in roles
2337 - added tests for this
2339 * Moose::Meta::Class
2340 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2341 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2342 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2344 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2345 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2347 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2348 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2349 so this release is just to fix that.
2352 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2353 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2354 (thanks to konobi for this)
2355 - added tests and docs
2357 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2358 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2361 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2362 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2363 - added tests for this
2364 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2365 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2366 functions to facilitate introspection.
2368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2369 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2370 to build the list of delegated methods
2371 correctly (and not override important
2372 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2374 - added tests and docs for this
2375 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2376 so that you can actually document your
2377 attributes and inspect them through the
2379 - added tests and docs for this
2381 * Moose::Meta::Class
2382 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2383 it will first look in for the class in the
2384 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2385 then default to just loading $name.
2386 - added tests and docs for this
2388 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2389 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2390 - added test for this
2393 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2394 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2395 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2396 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2398 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2399 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2402 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2404 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2405 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2406 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2409 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2410 !! for this developer release to work !!
2412 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2413 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2414 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2415 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2416 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2417 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2418 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2419 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2420 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2421 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2422 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2424 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2425 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2426 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2427 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2430 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2431 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2432 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2433 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2434 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2436 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2438 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2439 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2442 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2443 called unless they actually need to be.
2444 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2445 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2446 DEMOLISH method present.
2448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2449 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2450 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2451 type constraint, which allows for a
2452 hand optimized version of the type
2453 constraint to be used when possible.
2454 - Any internally created type constraints
2455 now provide an optimized version as well.
2457 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2459 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2460 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2461 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2464 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2465 your class namespace of these exported
2468 * Moose::Meta::Class
2469 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2470 comes up during global destruction
2472 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2476 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2480 - changed how we do type checks so that
2481 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2484 - moved accessor generation methods to
2485 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2486 conform to the API changes from
2489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2490 - changed how constraints are compiled
2491 so that we do less recursion and more
2492 iteration. This makes the type check
2494 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2498 - created this from methods formerly found in
2499 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2501 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2502 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2505 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2507 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2508 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2510 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2512 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2513 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2514 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2515 - added tests for this
2516 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2517 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2518 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2519 - removed tests for this
2521 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2523 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2524 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2525 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2528 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2529 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2530 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2532 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2533 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2534 comments for more info.
2537 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2538 asked questions and common problems
2540 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2541 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2542 - added tests for this
2544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2545 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2546 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2547 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2549 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2550 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2553 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2554 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2555 is much appreciated :)
2556 - added tests for this
2558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2559 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2560 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2563 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2564 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2566 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2568 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2569 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2573 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2574 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2575 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2577 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2579 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2582 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2583 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2584 keywords because we need to localize them.
2585 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2587 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2588 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2589 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2592 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2596 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2597 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2600 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2601 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2602 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2604 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2606 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2607 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2608 bottom of your class file.
2611 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2614 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2616 - improved error message when loading modules so
2617 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2618 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2619 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2622 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2623 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2624 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2626 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2627 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2629 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2630 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2631 turn them on for you.
2632 - added tests for this
2633 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2634 in Moose::Meta::Class
2637 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2638 automatically turned on for you.
2639 - added tests for this
2642 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2643 - added tests for this
2644 - added some more edge case tests
2646 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
2647 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2649 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2653 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2656 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2657 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2660 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2661 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2662 - This release works in combination with
2663 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2664 release because it uses the a new
2665 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2666 complete Role implementation. It has
2667 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2668 the the previous CPAN version. This
2669 release also lacks good updated docs,
2670 the official release will have updated docs.
2673 - refactored the keyword exports
2674 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2675 accepts more than one Role at a time
2676 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2677 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2680 - refactored the keyword exports
2681 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2682 accepts more than one Role at a time
2684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2685 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2686 string enumerations which can be used as
2688 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2691 - more careful checking of params to new()
2694 - much work done on the role composition
2695 - many new tests for conflict detection
2696 and composition edge cases
2697 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2698 looking at the tests
2700 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2701 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2702 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2704 * Moose::Meta::Class
2705 - some small changes to support the new
2707 - some small additions to support Roles
2709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2710 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2712 - some small changes to support the new
2714 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2715 with the 'handles' option
2716 - added several tests for this
2717 - no docs for this yet
2719 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2721 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2722 thanks to chansen for this commit
2723 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2724 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2725 on a per-attribute basis
2726 - added tests for this
2727 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2728 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2729 experimental feature and probably not finished
2730 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2731 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2732 - added tests for this
2735 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2737 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
2738 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
2739 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
