1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - get_attribute_map is now deprecated (Dave Rolsky)
8 * replace two more eval { } calls with try { } (doy)
10 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
11 - preserve aliasing for delegated methods (doy)
13 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
14 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
15 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
16 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
19 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
20 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
22 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
23 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
25 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
27 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
28 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
31 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
32 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
33 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
34 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
35 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
37 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
38 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
39 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
40 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
41 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
42 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
43 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
46 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
47 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
48 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
49 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
50 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
52 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
53 which were not receiving the value of
54 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
55 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
56 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
57 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
61 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
62 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
63 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
65 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
66 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
67 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
68 - added tests for this (Stevan)
71 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
72 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
73 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
76 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
77 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
78 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
80 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
81 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
82 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
85 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
86 class if you pass it options for
87 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
88 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
89 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
90 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
91 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
92 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
93 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
94 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
95 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
97 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
98 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
99 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
100 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
101 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
104 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
105 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
106 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
107 existing delegation API. (hdp)
109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
110 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
111 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
112 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
113 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
114 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
117 * Moose::Error::Croak
118 * Moose::Error::Confess
119 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
120 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
123 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
126 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
127 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
128 installing a broken sub. (doy)
131 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
134 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
135 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
136 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
138 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
139 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
140 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
141 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
142 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
145 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
148 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
150 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
151 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
154 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
155 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
159 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
160 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
163 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
164 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
165 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
166 using it for new code!
168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
169 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
170 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
171 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
173 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
174 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
175 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
176 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
177 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
178 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
179 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
180 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
183 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
186 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
187 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
191 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
194 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
195 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
199 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
200 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
203 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
204 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
207 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
208 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
211 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
213 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
214 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
215 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
216 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
218 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
220 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
224 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
225 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
227 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
228 associated_methods. (hdp)
229 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
230 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
231 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
232 misspelled) arguments
234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
235 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
236 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
237 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
241 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
243 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
247 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
248 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
251 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
252 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
254 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
256 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
257 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
259 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
260 * Moose::Manual::Types
261 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
262 string parsing rathole (mst)
264 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
265 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
266 using plain objects instead
268 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
269 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
272 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
274 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
275 three times today (perigrin)
276 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
277 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
280 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
281 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
282 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
285 - A role's required methods are now represented by
286 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
287 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
288 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
289 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
290 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
293 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
294 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
295 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
296 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
299 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
301 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
304 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
306 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
309 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
310 during global destruction. This method has been made more
311 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
315 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
316 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
319 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
320 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
322 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
323 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
324 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
327 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
329 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
330 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
333 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
337 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
338 methods during global destruction (doy)
341 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
342 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
346 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
347 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
350 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
351 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
354 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
355 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
357 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
359 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
363 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
364 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
365 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
368 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
369 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
370 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
373 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
375 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
377 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
380 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
381 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
382 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
383 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
385 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
386 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
387 of the Moose core (Sartak)
390 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
393 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
394 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
395 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
399 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
400 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
403 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
405 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
408 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
409 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
412 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
413 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
416 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
417 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
420 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
423 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
426 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
430 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
433 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
436 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
437 * More deprecations and renamings
438 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
439 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
440 when an object is constructed)
443 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
444 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
445 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
448 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
449 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
450 feature, and it works again.
453 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
455 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
457 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
458 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
459 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
462 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
463 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
464 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
465 message. Test provided by perigrin.
467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
468 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
469 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
470 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
471 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
474 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
475 metaclass object. (hdp)
477 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
478 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
479 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
480 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
481 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
482 point out this fact. (hdp)
484 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
485 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
487 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
488 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
492 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
493 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
494 called during instance construction were passed the
495 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
496 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
498 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
499 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
502 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
503 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
504 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
507 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
508 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
509 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
510 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
511 them, but they are not for "public" use.
514 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
516 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
517 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
518 when an object is constructed)
519 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
521 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
522 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
523 when an object is constructed)
524 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
525 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
526 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
529 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
531 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
532 * No changes from 0.72_01.
534 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
536 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
537 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
538 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
540 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
541 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
542 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
544 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
546 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
547 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
549 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
550 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
553 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
554 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
557 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
558 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
559 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
562 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
566 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
567 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
568 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
571 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
574 * Moose::Manual::Delta
575 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
576 with recommended workarounds.
578 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
579 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
582 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
583 (yes, spelled like that).
585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
586 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
589 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
590 changes in latest Class::MOP.
592 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
595 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
596 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
597 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
598 instead. Reported by doy.
600 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
602 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
603 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
606 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
607 message) is now deprecated.
608 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
609 often got it wrong. For example:
611 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
613 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
617 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
618 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
619 bite you in weird cases.
621 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
622 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
623 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
626 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
627 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
631 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
634 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
635 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
638 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
639 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
642 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
645 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
647 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
648 - added tests for this (stevan)
650 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
651 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
652 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
653 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
657 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
658 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
659 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
660 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
662 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
663 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
664 - added tests for this (rafl)
666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
667 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
668 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
669 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
673 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
674 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
677 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
678 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
679 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
681 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
683 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
684 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
687 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
688 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
689 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
690 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
693 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
694 error message did not specify the attribute name
697 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
699 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
701 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
702 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
703 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
706 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
709 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
711 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
712 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
713 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
714 of fixes and formatting improvements.
716 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
718 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
719 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
720 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
721 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
724 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
725 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
728 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
729 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
730 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
731 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
734 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
735 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
736 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
737 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
740 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
741 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
742 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
743 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
744 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
746 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
747 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
748 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
749 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
750 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
751 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
754 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
756 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
757 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
758 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
759 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
762 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
765 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
769 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
770 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
772 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
773 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
774 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
777 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
779 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
782 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
783 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
784 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
787 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
790 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
791 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
793 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
795 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
798 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
799 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
800 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
801 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
802 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
803 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
806 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
807 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
808 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
809 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
810 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
811 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
812 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
813 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
814 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
816 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
818 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
819 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
822 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
823 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
824 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
826 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
827 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
828 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
829 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
830 same methods for a single role did not work
831 right (worked just fine with multiple
833 - added test for this (stevan)
835 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
836 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
837 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
840 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
841 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
842 - added test for this (t0m)
845 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
846 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
847 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
850 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
851 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
852 - added test for this (t0m)
854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
855 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
856 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
857 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
858 - added test for this (perigrin)
861 - create method for constructing a role
863 - added test for this (Sartak)
864 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
865 - added test for this (Sartak)
868 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
870 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
871 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
872 methods is useful (Sartak)
874 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
876 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
880 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
881 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
882 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
883 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
884 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
885 - added tests for this (jdv79)
888 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
889 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
891 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
892 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
893 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
894 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
895 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
897 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
899 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
900 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
901 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
904 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
905 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
906 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
907 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
908 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
909 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
913 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
914 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
915 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
916 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
917 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
918 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
919 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
920 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
921 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
922 future. (jnapiorkowski)
924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
925 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
928 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
929 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
930 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
931 type. (jnapiorkowski)
932 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
934 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
936 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
937 predicate, and link to more details sections in
938 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
941 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
943 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
944 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
945 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
946 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
949 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
950 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
952 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
954 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
955 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
958 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
959 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
962 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
963 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
964 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
965 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
967 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
968 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
971 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
972 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
973 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
974 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
975 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
976 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
977 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
979 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
980 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
981 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
983 * Roles and role application
984 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
985 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
986 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
987 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
988 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
990 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
991 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
994 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
995 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
996 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
997 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
998 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1001 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1002 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1003 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1004 changes in the Moose internals.
1006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1008 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1012 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1013 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1014 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1017 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1018 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1019 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1022 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1023 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1024 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1025 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1026 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1027 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1028 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1029 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1030 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1031 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1032 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1033 constraint implementations.
1035 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1039 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1040 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1041 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1042 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1043 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1044 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1045 - added tests for this (rafl)
1047 * Moose::Meta::Class
1048 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1049 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1050 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1051 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1052 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1053 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1054 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1055 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1058 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1059 - added tests for this (thepler)
1061 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1062 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1063 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1064 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1067 * Moose::Meta::Class
1068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1069 * Moose::Meta::Method
1072 * Moose::Error::Default
1073 * Moose::Error::Croak
1074 * Moose::Error::Confess
1075 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1076 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1077 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1078 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1079 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1080 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1082 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1084 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1085 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1087 * Moose::Unsweetened
1088 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1089 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1090 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1093 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1094 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1095 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1096 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1099 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1100 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1102 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1103 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1104 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1105 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1108 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1110 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1111 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1113 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1116 - Various bug fixes.
1118 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1119 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1121 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1123 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1124 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1125 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1126 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1127 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1128 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1131 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1132 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1136 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1139 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1140 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1141 dependency to 0.64_07.
1143 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1144 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1145 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1148 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1152 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1153 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1154 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1155 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1156 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1159 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1161 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1163 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1164 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1168 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1169 method when that method was provided by another role being
1170 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1173 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1175 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1176 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1179 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1180 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1181 - added test for this (t0m)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1184 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1185 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1187 - added test for this (t0m)
1190 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1191 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1192 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1196 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1198 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1200 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1201 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1203 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1204 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1205 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1208 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1212 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1213 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1214 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1218 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1219 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1220 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1223 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1224 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1225 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1226 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1229 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1233 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1234 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1235 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1237 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1239 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1240 created so that the process can be more easily
1241 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1244 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1245 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1246 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1249 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1252 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1253 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1256 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1257 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1260 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1261 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1264 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1266 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1267 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1270 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1271 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1275 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1276 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1278 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1279 ... this is not my day today ...
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1282 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1283 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1284 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1285 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1288 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1289 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1290 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1291 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1292 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1295 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1297 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1298 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1299 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1300 this is not ever something you want to do
1301 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1302 - added tests for this (stevan)
1305 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1307 - added test for this
1309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1310 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1311 - added tests for this (wreis)
1313 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1314 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1315 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1316 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1318 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1319 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1320 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1323 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1325 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1327 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1331 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1332 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1333 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1334 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1335 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1336 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1337 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 - added tests for this
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1341 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1342 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1343 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1345 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1348 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1349 - added tests for this (sartak)
1350 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1351 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1354 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()

1675 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1677 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2036 And work with the type unions as well:
2037 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2039 * Better Framework Extendability
2040 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2041 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2042 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2043 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2046 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2047 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2048 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2049 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2052 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2054 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2055 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2098 +++ with new features added as well +++
2100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2104 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2106 - added tests for this
2108 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2137 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2138 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2203 the other side (perigrin)
2205 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2207 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2208 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2209 prototypes for functions
2210 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2211 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2221 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2224 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2225 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2226 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2227 - added tests for this
2229 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2231 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2252 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2253 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2255 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2256 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2257 so this release is just to fix that.
2260 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2261 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2262 (thanks to konobi for this)
2263 - added tests and docs
2265 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2274 functions to facilitate introspection.
2276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2277 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2278 to build the list of delegated methods
2279 correctly (and not override important
2280 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2282 - added tests and docs for this
2283 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2284 so that you can actually document your
2285 attributes and inspect them through the
2287 - added tests and docs for this
2289 * Moose::Meta::Class
2290 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2291 it will first look in for the class in the
2292 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2293 then default to just loading $name.
2294 - added tests and docs for this
2296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2297 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2298 - added test for this
2301 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2302 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2303 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2304 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2306 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2307 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2310 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2312 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2313 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2314 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2317 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2318 !! for this developer release to work !!
2320 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2321 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2322 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2323 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2324 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2325 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2326 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2327 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2328 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2329 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2330 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2332 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2333 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2334 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2335 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2338 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2340 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2341 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2342 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2344 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2346 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2347 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2350 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2351 called unless they actually need to be.
2352 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2353 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2354 DEMOLISH method present.
2356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2357 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2358 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2359 type constraint, which allows for a
2360 hand optimized version of the type
2361 constraint to be used when possible.
2362 - Any internally created type constraints
2363 now provide an optimized version as well.
2365 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2367 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2368 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2369 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2372 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2373 your class namespace of these exported
2376 * Moose::Meta::Class
2377 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2378 comes up during global destruction
2380 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2384 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2388 - changed how we do type checks so that
2389 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2392 - moved accessor generation methods to
2393 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2394 conform to the API changes from
2397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2398 - changed how constraints are compiled
2399 so that we do less recursion and more
2400 iteration. This makes the type check
2402 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2406 - created this from methods formerly found in
2407 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2409 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2410 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2413 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2416 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2418 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2420 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2421 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2422 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2423 - added tests for this
2424 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2425 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2426 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2427 - removed tests for this
2429 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2431 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2432 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2433 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2436 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2437 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2438 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2440 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2441 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2442 comments for more info.
2445 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2446 asked questions and common problems
2448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2449 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2450 - added tests for this
2452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2453 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2454 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2455 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2457 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2458 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2461 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2462 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2463 is much appreciated :)
2464 - added tests for this
2466 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2467 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2468 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2471 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2472 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2474 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2476 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2477 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2481 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2482 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2483 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2485 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2487 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2490 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2491 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2492 keywords because we need to localize them.
2493 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2495 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2496 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2497 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2500 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2504 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2505 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2508 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2509 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2510 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2512 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2514 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2515 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2516 bottom of your class file.
2519 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2522 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2524 - improved error message when loading modules so
2525 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2526 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2527 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2530 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2531 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2532 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2534 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2535 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2537 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2538 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2539 turn them on for you.
2540 - added tests for this
2541 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2542 in Moose::Meta::Class

2569 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2570 - This release works in combination with
2571 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2572 release because it uses the a new
2573 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2574 complete Role implementation. It has
2575 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2576 the the previous CPAN version. This
2577 release also lacks good updated docs,
2578 the official release will have updated docs.
2581 - refactored the keyword exports
2582 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2583 accepts more than one Role at a time

2594 string enumerations which can be used as
2596 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2599 - more careful checking of params to new()
2602 - much work done on the role composition
2603 - many new tests for conflict detection
2604 and composition edge cases
2605 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2606 looking at the tests

2629 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2630 thanks to chansen for this commit
2631 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2632 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2633 on a per-attribute basis
2634 - added tests for this
2635 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2636 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2637 experimental feature and probably not finished

2639 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2640 - added tests for this
