1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
9 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
13 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
14 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
15 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
16 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
17 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
22 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
23 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
24 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
25 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
27 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
28 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
29 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
31 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
32 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
33 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
34 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
36 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
37 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
38 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
39 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
41 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
45 * Minor documentation fixes.
47 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
50 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
54 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
55 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
57 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
61 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
63 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
67 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
72 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
76 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
78 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
79 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
83 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
84 more values were required. (rjbs)
86 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
90 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
91 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
95 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
96 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
97 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
98 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
100 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
101 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
102 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
104 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
105 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
108 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
109 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
110 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
111 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
116 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
117 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
118 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
121 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
125 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
126 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
127 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
129 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
130 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
131 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
133 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
134 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
135 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
137 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
138 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
141 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
142 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
143 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
145 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
146 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
149 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
150 the associated stash. (doy)
154 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
155 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
156 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
157 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
159 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
163 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
164 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
165 the attribute's reference.
169 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
170 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
175 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
176 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
177 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
180 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
181 the Object constraint).
183 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
187 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
188 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
193 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
195 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
199 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
202 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
204 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
208 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
210 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
214 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
217 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
218 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
219 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
221 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
224 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
228 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
230 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
234 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
236 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
240 * Include changes from 2.0010.
242 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
246 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
247 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
251 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
252 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
253 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
258 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
260 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
264 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
265 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
267 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
271 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
273 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
277 * Various packaging issues.
279 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
283 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
284 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
289 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
290 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
291 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
295 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
296 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
297 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
299 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
303 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
304 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
306 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
310 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
311 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
313 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
316 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
317 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
321 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
322 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
324 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
328 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
329 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
333 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
335 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
339 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
341 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
345 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
346 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
348 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
352 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
354 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
358 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
360 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
361 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
363 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
367 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
368 skips every other role. (rjbs)
370 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
371 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
372 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
373 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
374 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
376 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
380 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
381 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
382 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
385 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
390 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
392 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
393 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
395 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
399 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
400 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
401 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
405 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
406 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
408 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
409 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
411 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
412 environments. (doy, mateu)
414 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
418 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
419 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
420 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
421 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
425 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
426 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
428 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
432 * Update conflicts list.
435 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
439 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
440 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
441 details. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
444 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
445 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
446 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
447 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
451 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
452 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
453 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
454 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
455 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
458 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
462 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
463 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
465 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
468 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
472 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
473 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
474 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
475 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
477 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
478 immutable classes). (mo)
480 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
481 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
482 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
484 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
488 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
490 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
492 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
496 * Fix some indexing issues.
498 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
500 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
504 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
505 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
506 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
507 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
508 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
510 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
511 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
516 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
517 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
518 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
519 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
521 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
522 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
523 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
527 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
528 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
531 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
535 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
536 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
540 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
544 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
545 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
546 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
547 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
550 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
554 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
557 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
561 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
562 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
563 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
566 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
570 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
571 policy. (Chris Prather)
573 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
574 on this new support policy. (doy)
578 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
579 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
580 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
582 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
583 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
585 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
589 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
590 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
591 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
592 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
595 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
599 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
600 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
603 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
607 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
608 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
610 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
611 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
615 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
616 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
617 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
618 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
619 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
620 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
622 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
623 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
625 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
626 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
627 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
628 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
630 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
631 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
633 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
638 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
639 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
641 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
645 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
646 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
647 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
649 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
653 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
654 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
655 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
657 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
658 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
661 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
662 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
665 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
666 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
667 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
669 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
670 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
675 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
676 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
677 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
678 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
680 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
681 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
683 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
684 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
686 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
687 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
688 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
689 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
691 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
692 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
693 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
696 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
697 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
698 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
699 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
701 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
702 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
705 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
706 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
707 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
709 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
713 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
714 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
715 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
717 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
718 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
719 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
722 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
723 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
724 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
726 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
727 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
728 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
730 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
731 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
735 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
736 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
737 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
739 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
740 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
741 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
742 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
744 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
748 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
749 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
750 value is a reference.
752 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
753 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
755 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
759 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
760 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
761 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
763 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
767 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
768 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
772 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
773 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
774 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
777 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
778 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
780 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
784 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
786 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
790 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
792 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
793 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
798 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
799 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
801 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
802 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
803 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
804 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
805 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
807 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
808 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
809 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
810 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
812 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
816 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
817 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
822 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
824 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
826 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
831 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
833 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
837 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
838 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
839 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
841 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
842 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
843 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
844 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
846 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
847 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
848 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
849 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
850 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
853 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
858 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
859 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
860 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
861 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
862 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
865 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
869 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
872 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
873 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
877 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
878 function (not just method). (doy)
882 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
883 and aren't easily installable/testable.
885 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
889 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
890 to be overridden more easily (doy).
892 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
896 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
897 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
899 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
903 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
904 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
905 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
907 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
911 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
912 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
913 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
915 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
916 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
920 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
921 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
923 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
924 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
928 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
929 is applied to a class (t0m).
931 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
932 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
934 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
937 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
938 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
940 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
941 be much more robust. (doy)
943 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
945 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
948 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
952 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
953 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
955 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
959 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
960 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
962 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
965 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
966 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
967 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
969 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
970 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
971 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
974 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
976 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
980 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
981 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
985 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
987 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
992 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
996 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
997 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1001 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1003 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1007 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1008 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1012 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1013 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1017 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1018 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1020 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1024 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1025 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1026 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1029 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1033 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1034 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1035 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1036 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1038 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1042 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1043 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1044 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1048 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1049 (Michael G. Schwern)
1051 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1056 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1057 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1061 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1062 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1064 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1065 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1066 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1067 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1069 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1073 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1077 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1078 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1080 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1081 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1082 - Moose::Util::does_role
1083 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1084 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1085 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1087 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1091 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1092 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1093 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1096 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1100 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1101 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1104 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1108 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1109 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1112 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1116 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1118 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1119 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1121 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1122 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1123 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1125 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1126 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1127 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1130 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1131 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1133 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1134 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1135 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1137 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1139 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1140 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1142 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1144 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1147 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1148 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1150 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1151 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1153 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1154 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1155 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1156 dependencies installed.
1158 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1159 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1162 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1164 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1168 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1171 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1172 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1174 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1175 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1176 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1178 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1179 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1182 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1183 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1184 others. (nothingmuch)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1187 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1188 remove_accessors. (doy)
1190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1191 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1192 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1195 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1197 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1199 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1200 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1202 * Moose::Meta::Class
1203 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1204 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1207 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1209 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1211 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1212 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1216 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1217 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1218 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1219 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1221 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1224 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1225 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1226 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1227 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1231 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1232 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1233 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1234 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1236 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1237 which were not receiving the value of
1238 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1239 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1240 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1241 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1245 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1246 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1247 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1248 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1249 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1253 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1254 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1255 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Class
1258 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1259 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1260 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1263 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1265 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1268 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1269 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1272 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1273 class if you pass it options for
1274 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1275 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1276 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1277 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1278 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1279 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1280 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1282 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1284 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1285 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1286 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1287 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1288 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1291 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1293 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1294 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1297 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1298 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1299 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1300 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1301 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1304 * Moose::Error::Croak
1305 * Moose::Error::Confess
1306 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1307 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1310 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1313 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1314 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1315 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1317 * Moose::Meta::Class
1318 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1321 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1322 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1323 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1325 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1326 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1327 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1328 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1329 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1331 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1332 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1335 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1337 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1338 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1341 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1342 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1345 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1346 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1347 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1350 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1351 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1352 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1353 using it for new code!
1355 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1356 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1357 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1358 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1360 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1361 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1362 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1363 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1364 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1365 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1366 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1367 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1370 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1373 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1374 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1378 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1380 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1381 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1382 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1384 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1386 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1387 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1389 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1390 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1391 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1394 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1395 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1398 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1400 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1401 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1402 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1403 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1405 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1407 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1411 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1412 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1414 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1415 associated_methods. (hdp)
1416 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1417 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1418 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1419 misspelled) arguments
1421 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1422 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1423 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1424 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1428 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1430 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1434 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1435 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1438 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1439 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1441 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1442 * Moose::Meta::Class
1443 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1444 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1446 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1447 * Moose::Manual::Types
1448 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1449 string parsing rathole (mst)
1451 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1452 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1453 using plain objects instead
1455 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1456 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1457 that's what we need.
1459 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1460 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1461 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1462 three times today (perigrin)
1463 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1464 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1467 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1468 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1469 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1472 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1473 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1474 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1475 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1476 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1477 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1480 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1481 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1482 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1483 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1486 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1488 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1491 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1493 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1496 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1497 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1498 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1502 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1503 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1506 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1507 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1509 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1510 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1511 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1513 * Moose::Unsweetened
1514 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1517 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1520 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1524 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1525 methods during global destruction (doy)
1527 * Moose::Meta::Class
1528 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1529 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1530 consumption (Sartak)
1532 * Moose::Meta::Class
1533 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1534 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1537 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1538 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1541 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1542 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1544 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1546 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1550 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1551 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1552 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1555 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1556 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1557 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1560 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1562 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1563 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1564 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1567 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1568 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1569 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1570 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1573 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1574 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1577 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1580 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1581 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1582 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1586 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1587 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1589 * Moose::Meta::Class
1590 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1592 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1594 * Moose::Meta::Class
1595 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1596 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1599 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1600 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1603 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1604 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1607 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1610 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1613 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1616 * Moose::Meta::Class
1617 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1619 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1620 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1623 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1624 * More deprecations and renamings
1625 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1626 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1627 when an object is constructed)
1630 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1631 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1632 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1635 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1636 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1637 feature, and it works again.
1640 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1642 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1644 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1645 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1646 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1648 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1649 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1650 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1651 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1652 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1655 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1656 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1657 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1658 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1661 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1662 metaclass object. (hdp)
1664 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1665 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1666 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1667 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1668 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1669 point out this fact. (hdp)
1671 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1672 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1675 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1677 * Moose::Meta::Class
1678 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1679 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1680 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1681 called during instance construction were passed the
1682 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1683 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1685 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1686 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1689 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1690 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1691 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1694 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1695 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1696 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1697 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1698 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1700 - Moose::Meta::Class
1701 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1703 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1704 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1705 when an object is constructed)
1706 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1708 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1709 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1710 when an object is constructed)
1711 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1712 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1713 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1716 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1718 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1719 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1721 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1723 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1724 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1725 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1728 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1729 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1731 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1734 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1737 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1741 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1744 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1745 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1746 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1749 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1753 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1754 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1755 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1757 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1758 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1761 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1762 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1763 with recommended workarounds.
1765 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1766 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1769 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1770 (yes, spelled like that).
1772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1773 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1775 * Moose::Meta::Class
1776 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1777 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1779 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1782 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1783 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1784 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1785 instead. Reported by doy.
1787 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1789 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1790 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1793 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1794 message) is now deprecated.
1795 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1796 often got it wrong. For example:
1798 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1800 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1804 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1805 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1806 bite you in weird cases.
1808 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1809 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1810 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1811 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1813 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1814 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1818 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1821 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1822 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1825 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1826 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1829 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1832 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1834 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1835 - added tests for this (stevan)
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1838 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1839 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1840 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1844 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1845 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1846 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1847 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1849 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1850 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1851 - added tests for this (rafl)
1853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1854 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1855 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1856 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1860 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1861 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1865 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1866 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1870 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1871 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1873 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1874 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1875 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1876 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1877 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1880 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1881 error message did not specify the attribute name
1884 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1886 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1888 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1889 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1890 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1892 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1893 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1896 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1898 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1899 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1900 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1901 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1903 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1905 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1906 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1907 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1908 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1911 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1912 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1914 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1915 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1916 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1917 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1918 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1921 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1922 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1923 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1924 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1927 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1928 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1929 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1930 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1931 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1933 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1934 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1935 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1936 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1937 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1938 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1941 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1943 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1944 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1945 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1946 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1948 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1949 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1952 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1956 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1957 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1959 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1960 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1961 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1962 guts. (nothingmuch).
1964 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1966 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1969 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1970 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1971 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1973 * Moose::Meta::Class
1974 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1977 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1978 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1981 * Moose::Unsweetened
1982 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1985 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1986 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1987 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1988 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1989 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1990 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1993 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1994 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1995 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1996 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1997 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1998 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1999 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2000 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2001 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2003 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2005 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2006 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2009 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2010 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2011 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2014 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2015 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2016 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2017 same methods for a single role did not work
2018 right (worked just fine with multiple
2020 - added test for this (stevan)
2022 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2023 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2024 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2027 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2028 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2029 - added test for this (t0m)
2032 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2033 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2034 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2037 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2038 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2039 - added test for this (t0m)
2041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2042 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2043 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2044 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2045 - added test for this (perigrin)
2048 - create method for constructing a role
2049 dynamically (Sartak)
2050 - added test for this (Sartak)
2051 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2052 - added test for this (Sartak)
2055 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2057 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2058 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2059 methods is useful (Sartak)
2061 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2063 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2066 * Moose::Meta::Class
2067 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2068 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2069 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2070 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2071 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2072 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2075 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2076 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2078 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2079 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2080 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2081 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2082 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2084 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2086 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2087 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2088 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2091 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2092 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2093 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2094 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2095 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2096 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2100 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2101 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2102 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2103 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2104 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2105 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2106 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2107 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2108 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2109 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2112 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2116 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2117 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2118 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2119 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2121 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2123 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2124 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2125 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2128 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2131 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2132 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2133 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2136 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2137 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2139 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2141 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2142 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2144 * Moose::Meta::Class
2145 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2146 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2147 a required attribute
2149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2151 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2152 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2155 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2158 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2159 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2160 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2161 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2162 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2163 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2164 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2166 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2167 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2168 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2170 * Roles and role application
2171 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2172 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2173 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2174 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2175 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2177 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2178 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2181 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2182 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2183 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2184 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2185 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2188 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2189 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2190 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2191 changes in the Moose internals.
2193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2195 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2199 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2200 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2201 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2204 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2205 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2206 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2209 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2210 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2211 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2212 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2213 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2214 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2215 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2216 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2217 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2218 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2219 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2220 constraint implementations.
2222 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2226 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2227 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2228 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2229 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2230 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2231 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2232 - added tests for this (rafl)
2234 * Moose::Meta::Class
2235 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2236 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2237 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2238 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2239 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2240 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2241 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2242 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2245 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2246 - added tests for this (thepler)
2248 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2249 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2250 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2251 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2254 * Moose::Meta::Class
2255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2256 * Moose::Meta::Method
2259 * Moose::Error::Default
2260 * Moose::Error::Croak
2261 * Moose::Error::Confess
2262 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2263 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2264 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2265 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2266 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2267 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2269 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2271 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2272 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2274 * Moose::Unsweetened
2275 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2276 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2277 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2280 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2281 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2282 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2283 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2286 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2287 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2289 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2290 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2291 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2292 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2295 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2297 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2298 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2300 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2303 - Various bug fixes.
2305 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2306 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2308 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2310 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2311 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2312 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2313 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2314 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2315 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2318 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2319 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2321 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2323 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2326 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2327 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2328 dependency to 0.64_07.
2330 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2331 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2332 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2334 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2335 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2338 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2339 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2340 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2341 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2342 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2343 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2346 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2348 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2350 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2351 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2355 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2356 method when that method was provided by another role being
2357 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2358 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2360 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2362 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2363 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2366 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2367 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2368 - added test for this (t0m)
2370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2371 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2372 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2374 - added test for this (t0m)
2377 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2378 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2379 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2382 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2383 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2385 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2387 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2388 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2390 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2391 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2392 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2395 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2398 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2399 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2400 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2401 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2405 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2406 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2407 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2410 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2411 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2412 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2413 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2416 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2420 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2421 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2422 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2424 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2426 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2427 created so that the process can be more easily
2428 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2430 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2431 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2432 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2433 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2436 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2439 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2440 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2442 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2443 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2444 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2446 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2447 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2448 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2450 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2451 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2453 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2454 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2457 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2458 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2462 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2463 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2465 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2466 ... this is not my day today ...
2468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2469 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2470 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2471 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2472 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2475 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2476 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2477 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2478 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2479 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2482 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2484 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2485 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2486 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2487 this is not ever something you want to do
2488 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2489 - added tests for this (stevan)
2492 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2494 - added test for this
2496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2497 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2498 - added tests for this (wreis)
2500 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2501 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2502 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2503 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2505 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2506 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2507 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2510 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2512 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2514 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2517 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2518 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2519 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2520 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2521 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2522 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2523 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2524 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2525 - added tests for this
2527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2528 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2529 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2530 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2532 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2535 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2536 - added tests for this (sartak)
2537 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2538 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2548 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2549 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2551 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2553 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2554 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2562 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2563 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2565 - added docs for this (TODO).
2566 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2567 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2568 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2576 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2577 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2578 - switched usage of reftype to ref because

2586 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2587 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2588 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2591 - move the ClassName type check code to
2592 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2594 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2595 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2597 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2598 (early morning release engineering)--
2600 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2601 which was causing the indexer to choke
2603 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2604 (late night release engineering)--
2606 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2607 changes in this release
2609 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2610 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2611 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2613 * Moose::Meta::Class
2614 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2615 since it is called so often by &meta
2617 * Moose::Meta::Class
2619 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2620 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2624 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2625 method for immutablization to check if the
2626 destructor object even needs to be created
2629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2630 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2631 - added more descriptive error message to help
2632 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2633 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2635 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2637 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2638 XS based functionality is now optional
2639 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2640 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2641 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2643 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2644 to take care of this, mostly we added
2645 support for the package_name and name
2646 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2647 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2648 support regexp matching of names
2649 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2650 - tests added for this
2651 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2652 is currently not supported in roles,
2653 but, ... patches welcome
2654 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2655 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2656 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2659 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2660 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2661 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2662 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2663 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2664 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2665 - added test for this
2667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2668 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2669 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2672 * Moose::Meta::Class
2673 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2677 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2679 - added tests for this
2680 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2681 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2684 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2685 themselves parameterizable types
2687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2688 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2689 called by the inlined immutable
2691 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2693 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2694 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2695 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2696 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2698 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2699 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2703 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2704 causing occasional cpantester failures
2705 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2706 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2708 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2710 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2711 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2714 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2715 ->body when looping through the
2716 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2718 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2719 eating the $@ values, and so not
2720 working correctly, it still kind of
2721 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2722 - added tests for this
2724 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2725 - added new recipe for immutable
2726 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2728 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2729 - added new recipe for builder and
2730 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2732 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2733 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2734 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2737 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2739 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2740 since Module::Install has done that.
2742 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2744 drink more coffee before
2745 doing release engineering
2747 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2748 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2749 modules. This fixes that.
2751 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2752 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2753 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2755 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2756 since we have tests which need the C3
2759 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2760 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2762 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2763 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2765 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2766 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2767 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2768 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2774 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2775 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2777 * Moose::Meta::Class
2778 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2779 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2781 - added test for this
2783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2784 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2785 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2786 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2787 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)

2862 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2864 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3155 - added tests for this
3158 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3159 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3201 - fixed how required methods are handled
3202 when they encounter overriden or modified
3203 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3204 - added tests for this
3206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3207 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3208 the | always creates a union and so is
3209 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3214 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3217 * Parameterized Types
3218 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3219 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3220 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3221 They can also be nested:
3222 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3223 And work with the type unions as well:
3224 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3226 * Better Framework Extendability
3227 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3228 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3229 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3230 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3233 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3234 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3235 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3236 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3457 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3458 - added tests for this
3459 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3460 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3461 functions to facilitate introspection.
3463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3464 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3465 to build the list of delegated methods
3466 correctly (and not override important
3467 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3469 - added tests and docs for this
3470 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3471 so that you can actually document your
3472 attributes and inspect them through the
3474 - added tests and docs for this
3476 * Moose::Meta::Class
3477 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3478 it will first look in for the class in the
3479 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3480 then default to just loading $name.
3481 - added tests and docs for this
3483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3484 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3485 - added test for this
3488 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3489 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3490 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3491 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3493 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3494 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3497 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3499 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3500 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3501 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3504 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3505 !! for this developer release to work !!
3507 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3508 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3509 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3510 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3511 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3512 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3513 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3514 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3515 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3516 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3517 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3519 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3520 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3521 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3522 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3525 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3527 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3528 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3529 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3531 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3533 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3534 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3537 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3538 called unless they actually need to be.
3539 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3540 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3541 DEMOLISH method present.
3543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3544 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3545 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3546 type constraint, which allows for a
3547 hand optimized version of the type
3548 constraint to be used when possible.
3549 - Any internally created type constraints
3550 now provide an optimized version as well.
3552 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3554 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3555 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3556 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3559 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3560 your class namespace of these exported
3563 * Moose::Meta::Class
3564 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3565 comes up during global destruction
3567 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3571 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3575 - changed how we do type checks so that
3576 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3579 - moved accessor generation methods to
3580 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3581 conform to the API changes from
3584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3585 - changed how constraints are compiled
3586 so that we do less recursion and more
3587 iteration. This makes the type check
3589 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3593 - created this from methods formerly found in
3594 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3596 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3597 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3600 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3603 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3605 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3608 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3609 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3610 - added tests for this
3611 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3612 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3613 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3614 - removed tests for this
3616 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3618 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3619 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3620 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3623 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3624 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3625 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3627 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3628 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3629 comments for more info.
3632 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3633 asked questions and common problems
3635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3636 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3637 - added tests for this
3639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3640 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3641 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3642 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3644 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3645 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3648 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3649 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3650 is much appreciated :)
3651 - added tests for this
3653 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3654 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3655 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3659 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3661 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3663 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3664 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3668 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3669 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3670 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3672 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3674 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3677 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3678 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3679 keywords because we need to localize them.
3680 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3682 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3683 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3684 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3687 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3690 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3691 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3692 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3695 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3696 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3697 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3699 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3701 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3702 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3703 bottom of your class file.
3706 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3709 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3711 - improved error message when loading modules so
3712 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3713 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3714 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3717 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3718 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3719 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3721 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3722 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3724 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3725 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3726 turn them on for you.
3727 - added tests for this
3728 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3729 in Moose::Meta::Class
3732 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3733 automatically turned on for you.

3756 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3757 - This release works in combination with
3758 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3759 release because it uses the a new
3760 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3761 complete Role implementation. It has
3762 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3763 the the previous CPAN version. This
3764 release also lacks good updated docs,
3765 the official release will have updated docs.
3768 - refactored the keyword exports
3769 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3770 accepts more than one Role at a time
3771 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3772 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3775 - refactored the keyword exports
3776 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3777 accepts more than one Role at a time
3779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3780 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3781 string enumerations which can be used as
3783 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3786 - more careful checking of params to new()
3789 - much work done on the role composition
3790 - many new tests for conflict detection
3791 and composition edge cases
3792 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3793 looking at the tests
3795 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3796 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3797 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3799 * Moose::Meta::Class
3800 - some small changes to support the new
3802 - some small additions to support Roles
3804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3805 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3807 - some small changes to support the new
3809 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3810 with the 'handles' option
3811 - added several tests for this
3812 - no docs for this yet
3814 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3816 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3817 thanks to chansen for this commit
3818 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3819 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3820 on a per-attribute basis
3821 - added tests for this
3822 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3823 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3824 experimental feature and probably not finished

3826 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3827 - added tests for this

3889 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3891 - added test for this
3894 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
