1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method, in
7 addition to execute, to be able to call a code attribute as a method.
12 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
13 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
14 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions Moose::before,
15 Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs, with the same
16 behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp result in an error.
19 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
23 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
27 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
28 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
30 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
31 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
32 - Moose::Util::does_role
33 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
34 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
35 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
37 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
41 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
42 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
43 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
46 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
50 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
51 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
54 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
58 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
59 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
62 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
66 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
68 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
71 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
72 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
73 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
75 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
76 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
77 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
80 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
81 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
83 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
84 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
85 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
87 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
89 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
90 substr et al, again. (sorear)
92 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
94 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
97 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
98 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
100 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
101 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
103 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
104 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
105 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
106 dependencies installed.
108 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
109 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
112 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
114 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
118 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
121 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
122 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
124 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
125 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
126 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
128 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
129 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
132 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
133 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
134 others. (nothingmuch)
136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
137 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
138 remove_accessors. (doy)
140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
141 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
142 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
145 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
147 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
149 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
150 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
153 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
154 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
157 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
159 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
161 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
162 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
166 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
167 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
168 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
169 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
171 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
173 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
174 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
175 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
176 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
177 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
180 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
181 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
182 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
183 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
184 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
186 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
187 which were not receiving the value of
188 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
189 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
190 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
191 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
195 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
196 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
197 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
198 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
199 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
203 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
204 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
205 - added tests for this (Stevan)
208 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
209 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
210 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
213 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
215 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
218 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
219 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
222 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
223 class if you pass it options for
224 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
225 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
226 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
227 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
228 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
229 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
230 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
231 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
232 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
234 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
235 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
236 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
237 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
238 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
241 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
243 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
244 existing delegation API. (hdp)
246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
247 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
248 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
249 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
250 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
251 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
254 * Moose::Error::Croak
255 * Moose::Error::Confess
256 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
257 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
260 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
263 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
264 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
265 installing a broken sub. (doy)
268 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
271 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
272 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
273 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
275 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
276 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
277 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
278 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
279 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
281 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
282 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
285 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
287 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
288 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
291 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
292 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
296 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
297 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
300 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
301 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
302 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
303 using it for new code!
305 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
306 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
307 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
308 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
310 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
311 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
312 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
313 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
314 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
315 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
316 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
317 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
320 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
323 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
324 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
328 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
331 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
332 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
336 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
337 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
340 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
341 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
344 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
345 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
348 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
350 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
351 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
352 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
353 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
355 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
357 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
361 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
362 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
364 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
365 associated_methods. (hdp)
366 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
367 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
368 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
369 misspelled) arguments
371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
372 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
373 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
374 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
378 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
380 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
384 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
385 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
388 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
389 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
391 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
393 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
394 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
396 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
397 * Moose::Manual::Types
398 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
399 string parsing rathole (mst)
401 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
402 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
403 using plain objects instead
405 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
406 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
409 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
411 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
412 three times today (perigrin)
413 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
414 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
417 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
418 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
419 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
422 - A role's required methods are now represented by
423 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
424 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
425 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
426 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
427 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
430 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
431 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
432 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
433 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
436 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
438 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
441 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
443 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
446 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
447 during global destruction. This method has been made more
448 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
452 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
453 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
456 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
457 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
459 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
460 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
461 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
464 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
466 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
467 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
470 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
474 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
475 methods during global destruction (doy)
478 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
479 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
483 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
484 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
487 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
488 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
491 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
492 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
494 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
496 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
500 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
501 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
502 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
505 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
506 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
507 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
510 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
512 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
514 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
517 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
518 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
519 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
520 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
522 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
523 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
524 of the Moose core (Sartak)
527 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
530 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
531 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
532 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
536 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
537 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
540 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
542 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
545 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
546 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
549 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
550 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
553 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
554 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
557 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
560 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
563 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
567 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
570 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
573 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
574 * More deprecations and renamings
575 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
576 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
577 when an object is constructed)
580 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
581 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
582 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
584 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
585 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
586 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
587 feature, and it works again.
590 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
592 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
594 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
595 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
596 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
599 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
600 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
601 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
602 message. Test provided by perigrin.
604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
605 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
606 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
607 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
608 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
611 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
612 metaclass object. (hdp)
614 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
615 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
616 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
617 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
618 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
619 point out this fact. (hdp)
621 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
622 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
624 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
625 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
629 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
630 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
631 called during instance construction were passed the
632 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
633 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
635 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
636 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
639 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
640 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
641 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
644 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
645 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
646 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
647 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
648 them, but they are not for "public" use.
651 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
653 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
654 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
655 when an object is constructed)
656 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
658 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
659 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
660 when an object is constructed)
661 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
662 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
663 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
666 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
668 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
669 * No changes from 0.72_01.
671 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
673 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
674 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
675 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
677 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
678 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
679 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
681 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
683 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
684 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
686 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
687 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
690 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
691 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
694 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
695 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
696 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
699 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
703 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
704 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
705 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
708 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
711 * Moose::Manual::Delta
712 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
713 with recommended workarounds.
715 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
716 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
719 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
720 (yes, spelled like that).
722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
723 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
726 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
727 changes in latest Class::MOP.
729 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
731 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
732 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
733 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
734 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
735 instead. Reported by doy.
737 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
739 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
740 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
743 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
744 message) is now deprecated.
745 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
746 often got it wrong. For example:
748 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
750 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
754 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
755 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
756 bite you in weird cases.
758 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
759 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
760 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
763 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
764 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
768 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
771 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
772 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
775 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
776 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
779 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
782 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
784 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
785 - added tests for this (stevan)
787 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
788 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
789 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
790 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
794 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
795 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
796 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
797 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
799 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
800 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
801 - added tests for this (rafl)
803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
804 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
805 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
806 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
810 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
811 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
814 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
815 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
816 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
818 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
820 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
821 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
824 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
825 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
826 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
827 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
829 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
830 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
831 error message did not specify the attribute name
834 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
836 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
838 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
839 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
840 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
843 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
846 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
848 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
849 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
850 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
851 of fixes and formatting improvements.
853 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
855 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
856 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
857 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
858 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
861 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
862 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
865 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
866 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
867 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
868 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
871 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
872 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
873 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
874 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
877 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
878 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
879 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
880 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
881 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
883 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
884 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
885 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
886 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
887 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
888 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
890 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
891 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
893 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
894 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
895 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
896 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
899 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
902 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
906 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
907 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
909 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
910 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
911 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
914 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
915 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
916 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
918 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
919 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
920 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
921 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
924 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
927 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
928 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
930 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
932 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
935 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
936 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
937 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
938 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
939 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
940 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
943 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
944 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
945 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
946 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
947 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
948 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
949 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
950 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
951 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
953 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
955 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
956 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
958 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
959 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
960 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
961 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
963 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
964 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
965 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
966 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
967 same methods for a single role did not work
968 right (worked just fine with multiple
970 - added test for this (stevan)
972 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
973 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
974 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
977 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
978 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
979 - added test for this (t0m)
982 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
983 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
984 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
987 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
988 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
989 - added test for this (t0m)
991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
992 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
993 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
994 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
995 - added test for this (perigrin)
998 - create method for constructing a role
1000 - added test for this (Sartak)
1001 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1002 - added test for this (Sartak)
1005 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1007 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1008 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1009 methods is useful (Sartak)
1011 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1012 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1013 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1016 * Moose::Meta::Class
1017 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1018 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1019 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1020 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1021 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1025 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1026 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1029 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1030 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1031 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1032 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1034 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1036 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1037 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1041 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1042 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1043 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1044 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1045 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1046 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1050 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1051 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1052 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1053 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1054 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1055 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1056 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1057 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1058 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1059 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1061 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1062 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1066 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1067 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1068 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1069 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1071 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1073 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1074 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1075 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1078 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1081 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1082 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1083 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1087 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1089 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1091 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1092 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1094 * Moose::Meta::Class
1095 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1096 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1097 a required attribute
1099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1101 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1102 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1105 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1108 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1109 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1110 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1111 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1112 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1113 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1114 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1116 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1117 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1118 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1120 * Roles and role application
1121 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1122 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1123 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1124 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1125 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1127 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1128 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1131 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1132 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1133 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1134 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1135 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1138 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1139 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1140 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1141 changes in the Moose internals.
1143 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1145 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1149 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1150 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1151 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1153 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1154 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1155 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1156 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1159 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1160 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1161 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1162 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1163 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1164 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1165 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1166 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1167 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1168 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1169 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1170 constraint implementations.
1172 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1176 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1177 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1178 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1179 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1180 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1181 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 - added tests for this (rafl)
1184 * Moose::Meta::Class
1185 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1186 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1187 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1188 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1189 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1190 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1191 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1192 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1195 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1196 - added tests for this (thepler)
1198 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1199 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1200 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1201 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1204 * Moose::Meta::Class
1205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method
1209 * Moose::Error::Default
1210 * Moose::Error::Croak
1211 * Moose::Error::Confess
1212 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1213 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1214 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1215 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1216 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1217 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1219 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1221 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1222 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 * Moose::Unsweetened
1225 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1226 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1227 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1230 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1231 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1232 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1233 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1236 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1237 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1239 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1240 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1241 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1242 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1245 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1247 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1248 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1250 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1253 - Various bug fixes.
1255 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1256 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1258 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1260 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1261 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1262 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1263 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1264 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1265 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1268 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1269 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1273 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1276 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1277 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1278 dependency to 0.64_07.
1280 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1281 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1282 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1285 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1288 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1289 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1290 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1291 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1292 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1293 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1295 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1296 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1298 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1300 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1301 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1305 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1306 method when that method was provided by another role being
1307 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1308 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1310 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1312 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1313 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1315 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1316 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1317 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1318 - added test for this (t0m)
1320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1321 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1322 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1324 - added test for this (t0m)
1327 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1328 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1329 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1333 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1335 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1337 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1338 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1341 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1342 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1415 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1416 ... this is not my day today ...
1418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1419 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1420 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1421 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1422 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1425 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1426 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1427 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1428 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1429 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1432 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1434 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1435 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1467 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1468 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1469 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1470 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1471 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1472 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1473 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1474 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 - added tests for this
1477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1478 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1588 XS based functionality is now optional
1589 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

1694 drink more coffee before
1695 doing release engineering
1697 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2042 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2043 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2044 types without having to explictly define them
2045 - added tests for this
2047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2048 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2049 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2051 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2052 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2053 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2054 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2055 - added tests for this
2056 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2057 a single type at different times instead of
2058 having to do it all in one place
2059 - added tests for this
2061 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2062 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2063 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2066 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2067 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2068 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2069 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2070 new features above (although you cannot add
2071 more type coercions for Union types)
2073 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2075 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2076 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2077 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2078 - added tests for this.
2079 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2080 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2081 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2082 - added tests for this
2083 - added docs for this
2085 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2086 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2087 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2088 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2089 instead it will just return undef.
2090 - added docs for this
2092 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2104 with work correctly.
2105 - added tests for this
2108 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2109 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2112 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2113 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2114 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2116 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2148 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2151 - fixed how required methods are handled
2152 when they encounter overriden or modified
2153 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2154 - added tests for this
2156 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2157 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2158 the | always creates a union and so is
2159 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2160 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2162 - added more tests for this
2164 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2167 * Parameterized Types
2168 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2169 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2170 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2171 They can also be nested:
2172 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2173 And work with the type unions as well:
2174 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2176 * Better Framework Extendability
2177 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2178 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2179 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2180 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2183 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2184 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2185 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2186 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2189 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2191 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2192 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2195 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2222 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2223 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2225 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2226 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2227 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2228 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2230 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2231 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2232 - updated the accompanying test as well
2234 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2235 +++ with new features added as well +++
2237 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2241 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2243 - added tests for this
2245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2251 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2252 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2254 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2255 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2256 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2257 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2271 (thanks to shlomif).
2273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2274 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2275 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2276 - added tests for this

2279 - added tests for this
2281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2313 - added tests for these
2315 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2316 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2319 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2320 to the 'handles' option.
2321 - added tests and docs for this

2324 (but not changing the handles option)
2325 - added tests and docs for this
2328 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2329 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2330 - adjusted tests for this
2332 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2334 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2340 the other side (perigrin)
2342 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2344 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2345 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2346 prototypes for functions
2347 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2348 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2358 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2361 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2362 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2363 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2364 - added tests for this
2366 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2368 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2384 * Moose::Meta::Class
2385 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2386 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2387 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2389 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2390 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2392 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2393 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2394 so this release is just to fix that.
2397 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2398 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2399 (thanks to konobi for this)
2400 - added tests and docs
2402 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2403 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2406 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2407 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2408 - added tests for this

2410 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2411 functions to facilitate introspection.
2413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2414 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2415 to build the list of delegated methods
2416 correctly (and not override important
2417 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2419 - added tests and docs for this
2420 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2421 so that you can actually document your
2422 attributes and inspect them through the
2424 - added tests and docs for this
2426 * Moose::Meta::Class
2427 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2428 it will first look in for the class in the
2429 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2430 then default to just loading $name.
2431 - added tests and docs for this
2433 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2434 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2435 - added test for this
2438 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2439 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2440 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2441 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2443 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2444 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2447 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2449 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2450 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2451 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2454 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2455 !! for this developer release to work !!
2457 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2458 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2459 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2460 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2461 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2462 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2463 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2464 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2465 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2466 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2467 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2469 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2470 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2471 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2472 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2475 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2477 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2478 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2479 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2481 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2483 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2484 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2487 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2488 called unless they actually need to be.
2489 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2490 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2491 DEMOLISH method present.
2493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2494 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2495 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2496 type constraint, which allows for a
2497 hand optimized version of the type
2498 constraint to be used when possible.
2499 - Any internally created type constraints
2500 now provide an optimized version as well.
2502 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2504 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2505 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2506 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2509 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2510 your class namespace of these exported
2513 * Moose::Meta::Class
2514 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2515 comes up during global destruction
2517 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2521 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2525 - changed how we do type checks so that
2526 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2529 - moved accessor generation methods to
2530 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2531 conform to the API changes from
2534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2535 - changed how constraints are compiled
2536 so that we do less recursion and more
2537 iteration. This makes the type check
2539 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2543 - created this from methods formerly found in
2544 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2546 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2547 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2550 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2552 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2553 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2555 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2558 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2559 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2560 - added tests for this
2561 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2562 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2563 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2564 - removed tests for this
2566 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2568 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2569 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2570 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2573 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2574 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2575 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2577 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2578 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2579 comments for more info.
2582 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2583 asked questions and common problems
2585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2586 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2587 - added tests for this
2589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2590 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2591 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2592 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2594 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2595 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2598 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2599 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2600 is much appreciated :)
2601 - added tests for this
2603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2604 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2605 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2608 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2609 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2611 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2613 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2614 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2618 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2619 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2620 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2622 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2624 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2627 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2628 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2629 keywords because we need to localize them.
2630 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2632 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2633 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2634 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2637 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2641 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2642 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2645 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2646 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2647 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2649 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2651 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2652 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2653 bottom of your class file.
2656 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2659 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2661 - improved error message when loading modules so
2662 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2663 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2664 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2667 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2668 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2669 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2671 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2672 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2674 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2675 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2676 turn them on for you.
2677 - added tests for this
2678 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2679 in Moose::Meta::Class
2682 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2683 automatically turned on for you.
2684 - added tests for this
2687 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2688 - added tests for this
2689 - added some more edge case tests

2701 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2702 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2705 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2706 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2707 - This release works in combination with
2708 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2709 release because it uses the a new
2710 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2711 complete Role implementation. It has
2712 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2713 the the previous CPAN version. This
2714 release also lacks good updated docs,
2715 the official release will have updated docs.
2718 - refactored the keyword exports
2719 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2720 accepts more than one Role at a time
2721 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2722 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2725 - refactored the keyword exports
2726 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2727 accepts more than one Role at a time
2729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2730 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2731 string enumerations which can be used as
2733 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2736 - more careful checking of params to new()
2739 - much work done on the role composition
2740 - many new tests for conflict detection
2741 and composition edge cases
