1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
9 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
11 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
12 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
13 - Moose::Util::does_role
14 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
15 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
16 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
18 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
22 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
23 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
24 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
27 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2009
31 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
32 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
34 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2009
38 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
39 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
41 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2009
45 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
47 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
50 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
51 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
52 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
55 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
56 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
59 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
60 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
62 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
63 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
64 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
66 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
68 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
69 substr et al, again. (sorear)
71 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
73 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
76 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
77 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
79 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
80 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
82 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
83 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
84 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
85 dependencies installed.
87 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
88 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
90 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
92 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
96 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
98 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
99 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
100 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
103 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
104 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
106 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
107 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
110 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
111 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
112 others. (nothingmuch)
114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
115 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
116 remove_accessors. (doy)
118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
119 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
120 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
123 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
125 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
127 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
128 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
131 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
132 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
135 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
137 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
139 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
140 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
143 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
144 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
145 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
146 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
147 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
149 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
152 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
153 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
154 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
155 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
158 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
159 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
160 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
161 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
162 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
164 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
165 which were not receiving the value of
166 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
167 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
168 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
169 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
173 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
174 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
175 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
176 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
177 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
180 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
181 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
182 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
183 - added tests for this (Stevan)
186 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
187 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
188 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
191 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
193 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
196 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
197 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
200 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
201 class if you pass it options for
202 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
203 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
204 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
205 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
206 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
207 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
208 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
209 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
210 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
212 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
213 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
214 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
215 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
216 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
219 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
220 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
221 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
222 existing delegation API. (hdp)
224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
225 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
226 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
227 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
228 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
229 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
232 * Moose::Error::Croak
233 * Moose::Error::Confess
234 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
235 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
238 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
241 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
242 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
243 installing a broken sub. (doy)
246 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
249 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
250 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
251 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
253 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
254 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
255 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
256 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
257 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
260 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
263 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
265 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
266 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
269 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
270 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
274 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
275 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
278 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
279 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
280 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
281 using it for new code!
283 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
284 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
285 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
286 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
288 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
289 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
290 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
291 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
292 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
293 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
294 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
295 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
298 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
301 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
302 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
306 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
309 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
310 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
314 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
315 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
318 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
319 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
322 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
323 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
326 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
328 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
329 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
330 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
331 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
333 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
335 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
339 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
340 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
342 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
343 associated_methods. (hdp)
344 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
345 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
346 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
347 misspelled) arguments
349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
350 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
351 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
352 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
355 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
356 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
358 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
362 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
363 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
366 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
367 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
369 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
371 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
372 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
374 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
375 * Moose::Manual::Types
376 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
377 string parsing rathole (mst)
379 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
380 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
381 using plain objects instead
383 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
384 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
387 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
389 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
390 three times today (perigrin)
391 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
392 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
395 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
396 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
397 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
400 - A role's required methods are now represented by
401 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
402 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
403 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
404 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
405 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
408 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
409 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
410 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
411 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
414 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
416 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
419 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
421 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
424 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
425 during global destruction. This method has been made more
426 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
430 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
431 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
434 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
435 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
437 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
438 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
439 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
442 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
444 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
445 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
448 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
452 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
453 methods during global destruction (doy)
456 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
457 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
461 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
462 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
465 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
466 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
469 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
470 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
472 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
474 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
478 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
479 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
480 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
483 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
484 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
485 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
488 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
490 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
492 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
496 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
497 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
498 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
500 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
501 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
502 of the Moose core (Sartak)
505 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
508 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
509 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
510 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
514 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
515 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
518 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
520 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
523 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
524 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
527 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
528 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
531 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
532 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
535 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
538 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
541 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
545 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
548 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
551 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
552 * More deprecations and renamings
553 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
554 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
555 when an object is constructed)
558 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
559 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
560 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
563 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
564 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
565 feature, and it works again.
568 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
570 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
572 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
573 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
574 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
577 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
578 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
579 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
580 message. Test provided by perigrin.
582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
583 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
584 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
585 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
586 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
589 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
590 metaclass object. (hdp)
592 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
593 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
594 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
595 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
596 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
597 point out this fact. (hdp)
599 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
600 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
602 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
603 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
607 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
608 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
609 called during instance construction were passed the
610 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
611 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
613 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
614 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
617 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
618 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
619 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
622 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
623 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
624 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
625 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
626 them, but they are not for "public" use.
629 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
631 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
632 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
633 when an object is constructed)
634 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
636 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
637 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
638 when an object is constructed)
639 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
640 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
641 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
644 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
646 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
647 * No changes from 0.72_01.
649 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
651 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
652 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
653 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
656 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
657 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
659 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
661 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
662 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
664 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
665 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
668 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
669 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
672 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
673 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
674 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
677 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
681 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
682 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
683 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
686 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
689 * Moose::Manual::Delta
690 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
691 with recommended workarounds.
693 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
694 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
697 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
698 (yes, spelled like that).
700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
701 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
704 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
705 changes in latest Class::MOP.
707 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
710 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
711 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
712 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
713 instead. Reported by doy.
715 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
717 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
718 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
721 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
722 message) is now deprecated.
723 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
724 often got it wrong. For example:
726 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
728 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
732 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
733 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
734 bite you in weird cases.
736 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
737 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
738 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
741 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
742 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
746 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
749 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
750 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
753 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
754 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
757 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
760 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
762 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
763 - added tests for this (stevan)
765 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
766 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
767 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
768 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
772 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
773 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
774 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
775 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
777 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
778 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
779 - added tests for this (rafl)
781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
782 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
783 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
784 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
788 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
789 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
792 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
793 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
794 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
796 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
798 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
799 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
802 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
803 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
804 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
805 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
807 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
808 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
809 error message did not specify the attribute name
812 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
814 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
816 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
817 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
818 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
820 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
821 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
824 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
826 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
827 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
828 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
829 of fixes and formatting improvements.
831 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
833 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
834 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
835 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
836 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
839 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
840 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
842 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
843 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
844 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
845 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
846 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
849 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
850 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
851 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
852 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
855 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
856 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
857 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
858 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
859 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
861 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
862 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
863 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
864 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
865 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
866 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
869 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
871 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
872 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
873 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
874 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
877 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
880 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
884 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
885 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
887 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
888 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
889 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
892 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
894 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
896 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
897 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
898 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
899 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
902 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
905 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
906 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
908 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
910 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
913 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
914 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
915 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
916 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
917 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
918 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
920 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
921 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
922 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
923 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
924 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
925 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
926 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
927 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
928 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
929 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
931 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
933 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
934 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
937 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
938 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
939 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
941 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
942 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
943 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
944 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
945 same methods for a single role did not work
946 right (worked just fine with multiple
948 - added test for this (stevan)
950 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
951 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
952 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
955 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
956 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
957 - added test for this (t0m)
960 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
961 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
962 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
965 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
966 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
967 - added test for this (t0m)
969 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
970 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
971 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
972 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
973 - added test for this (perigrin)
976 - create method for constructing a role
978 - added test for this (Sartak)
979 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
980 - added test for this (Sartak)
983 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
985 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
986 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
987 methods is useful (Sartak)
989 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
991 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
995 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
996 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
997 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
998 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
999 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1000 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1003 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1004 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1006 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1007 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1008 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1009 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1010 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1014 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1015 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1016 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1019 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1020 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1021 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1022 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1023 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1024 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1028 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1029 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1030 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1031 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1032 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1033 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1034 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1035 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1036 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1037 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1040 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1043 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1044 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1045 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1046 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1047 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1049 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1051 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1052 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1053 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1056 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1059 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1060 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1061 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1064 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1065 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1067 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1069 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1070 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Class
1073 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1074 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1075 a required attribute
1077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1078 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1079 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1080 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1083 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1085 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1086 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1087 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1088 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1089 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1090 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1091 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1092 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1095 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1096 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1098 * Roles and role application
1099 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1100 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1101 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1102 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1103 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1105 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1106 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1109 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1110 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1111 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1112 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1113 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1116 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1117 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1118 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1119 changes in the Moose internals.
1121 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1123 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1127 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1128 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1129 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1132 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1133 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1134 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1136 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1137 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1138 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1139 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1140 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1141 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1142 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1143 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1144 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1145 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1146 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1147 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1148 constraint implementations.
1150 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1154 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1155 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1156 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1157 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1158 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1159 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 - added tests for this (rafl)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Class
1163 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1164 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1165 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1166 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1167 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1168 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1169 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1173 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1174 - added tests for this (thepler)
1176 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1177 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1178 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1179 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1182 * Moose::Meta::Class
1183 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1184 * Moose::Meta::Method
1187 * Moose::Error::Default
1188 * Moose::Error::Croak
1189 * Moose::Error::Confess
1190 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1191 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1192 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1193 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1194 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1195 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1197 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1199 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1200 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 * Moose::Unsweetened
1203 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1204 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1205 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1208 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1209 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1210 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1211 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1214 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1215 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1217 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1218 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1219 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1220 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1223 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1225 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1226 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1228 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1231 - Various bug fixes.
1233 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1234 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1236 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1238 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1239 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1240 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1241 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1242 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1243 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1246 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1247 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1249 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1251 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1254 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1255 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1256 dependency to 0.64_07.
1258 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1259 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1260 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1263 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1266 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1267 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1268 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1269 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1270 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1271 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1274 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1276 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1278 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1279 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1283 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1284 method when that method was provided by another role being
1285 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1288 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1290 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1291 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1294 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1295 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1296 - added test for this (t0m)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1299 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1300 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1302 - added test for this (t0m)
1305 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1306 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1307 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1310 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1311 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1313 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1315 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1316 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1318 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1319 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1320 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1322 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1323 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1326 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1328 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1329 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1333 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1334 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1335 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1339 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1340 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1341 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1344 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1348 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1349 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1350 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

1391 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1393 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1394 ... this is not my day today ...
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1397 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1398 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1399 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1400 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1403 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1404 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1405 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1406 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1407 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1410 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1412 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1413 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1445 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1446 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1447 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1448 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1449 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1450 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1451 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1452 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1453 - added tests for this
1455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1456 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1531 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1532 (late night release engineering)--

1563 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1565 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1566 XS based functionality is now optional
1567 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1568 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1569 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2040 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2041 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2044 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2045 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2046 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2047 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2048 new features above (although you cannot add
2049 more type coercions for Union types)
2051 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2053 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2054 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2055 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2056 - added tests for this.
2057 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2058 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2059 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2060 - added tests for this
2061 - added docs for this
2063 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2064 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2065 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2066 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2067 instead it will just return undef.
2068 - added docs for this
2070 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2081 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2082 with work correctly.
2083 - added tests for this
2086 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2087 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2090 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2091 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2092 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2094 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2106 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2108 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2125 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2126 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2129 - fixed how required methods are handled
2130 when they encounter overriden or modified
2131 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2132 - added tests for this
2134 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2135 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2136 the | always creates a union and so is
2137 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2138 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2140 - added more tests for this
2142 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2145 * Parameterized Types
2146 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2147 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2148 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2149 They can also be nested:
2150 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2151 And work with the type unions as well:
2152 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2154 * Better Framework Extendability
2155 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2156 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2157 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2158 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2161 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2162 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2163 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2164 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2167 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2169 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2170 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2201 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2203 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2204 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2205 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2206 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2208 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2209 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2210 - updated the accompanying test as well
2212 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2213 +++ with new features added as well +++
2215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2219 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2221 - added tests for this
2223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2229 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2230 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2232 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2233 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2234 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2235 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2249 (thanks to shlomif).
2251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2252 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2253 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2254 - added tests for this
2255 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2257 - added tests for this
2259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2260 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2290 - This contains Moose specific test functions
2291 - added tests for these
2293 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2294 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2297 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2298 to the 'handles' option.
2299 - added tests and docs for this

2302 (but not changing the handles option)
2303 - added tests and docs for this
2306 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2307 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2310 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2312 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2318 the other side (perigrin)
2320 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2321 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2322 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2323 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2324 prototypes for functions
2325 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2326 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2336 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2339 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2340 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2341 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2342 - added tests for this
2344 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2346 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2359 where not handled correctly in roles
2360 - added tests for this
2362 * Moose::Meta::Class
2363 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2364 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2365 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2367 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2368 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2370 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2371 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2372 so this release is just to fix that.
2375 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2376 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2377 (thanks to konobi for this)
2378 - added tests and docs
2380 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2381 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2383 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2384 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2385 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2386 - added tests for this
2387 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2388 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2389 functions to facilitate introspection.
2391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2392 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2393 to build the list of delegated methods
2394 correctly (and not override important
2395 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2397 - added tests and docs for this
2398 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2399 so that you can actually document your
2400 attributes and inspect them through the
2402 - added tests and docs for this
2404 * Moose::Meta::Class
2405 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2406 it will first look in for the class in the
2407 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2408 then default to just loading $name.
2409 - added tests and docs for this
2411 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2412 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2413 - added test for this
2416 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2417 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2418 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2419 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2421 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2422 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2425 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2427 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2428 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2429 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2432 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2433 !! for this developer release to work !!
2435 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2436 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2437 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2438 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2439 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2440 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2441 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2442 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2443 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2444 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2445 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2447 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2448 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2449 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2450 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2453 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2455 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2456 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2457 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2459 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2461 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2462 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2465 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2466 called unless they actually need to be.
2467 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2468 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2469 DEMOLISH method present.
2471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2472 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2473 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2474 type constraint, which allows for a
2475 hand optimized version of the type
2476 constraint to be used when possible.
2477 - Any internally created type constraints
2478 now provide an optimized version as well.
2480 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2482 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2483 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2484 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2487 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2488 your class namespace of these exported
2491 * Moose::Meta::Class
2492 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2493 comes up during global destruction
2495 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2499 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2503 - changed how we do type checks so that
2504 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2507 - moved accessor generation methods to
2508 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2509 conform to the API changes from
2512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2513 - changed how constraints are compiled
2514 so that we do less recursion and more
2515 iteration. This makes the type check
2517 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2521 - created this from methods formerly found in
2522 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2524 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2525 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2528 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2531 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2533 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2535 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2536 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2537 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2538 - added tests for this
2539 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2540 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2541 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2542 - removed tests for this
2544 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2546 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2547 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2548 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2551 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2552 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2553 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2555 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2556 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2557 comments for more info.
2560 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2561 asked questions and common problems
2563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2564 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2565 - added tests for this
2567 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2568 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2569 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2570 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2572 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2573 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2576 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2577 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2578 is much appreciated :)
2579 - added tests for this
2581 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2582 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2583 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2586 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2587 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2589 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2591 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2592 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2596 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2597 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2598 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2600 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2602 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2605 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2606 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2607 keywords because we need to localize them.
2608 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2610 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2611 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2612 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2615 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2619 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2620 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2623 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2624 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2625 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2627 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2629 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2630 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2631 bottom of your class file.
2634 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2637 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2639 - improved error message when loading modules so
2640 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2641 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2642 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2645 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2646 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2647 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2649 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2650 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2652 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2653 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2654 turn them on for you.
2655 - added tests for this
2656 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2657 in Moose::Meta::Class
2660 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2661 automatically turned on for you.
2662 - added tests for this
2665 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2666 - added tests for this
2667 - added some more edge case tests

2679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2680 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2683 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2684 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2685 - This release works in combination with
2686 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2687 release because it uses the a new
2688 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2689 complete Role implementation. It has
2690 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2691 the the previous CPAN version. This
2692 release also lacks good updated docs,
2693 the official release will have updated docs.
2696 - refactored the keyword exports
2697 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2698 accepts more than one Role at a time
2699 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2700 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2703 - refactored the keyword exports
2704 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2705 accepts more than one Role at a time
2707 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2708 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2709 string enumerations which can be used as
2711 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2714 - more careful checking of params to new()
2717 - much work done on the role composition
2718 - many new tests for conflict detection
2719 and composition edge cases
2720 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2721 looking at the tests
2723 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2724 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2725 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2727 * Moose::Meta::Class
2728 - some small changes to support the new
2730 - some small additions to support Roles
2732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2733 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2735 - some small changes to support the new
2737 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2738 with the 'handles' option
2739 - added several tests for this
2740 - no docs for this yet
2742 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2744 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2745 thanks to chansen for this commit
2746 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2747 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2748 on a per-attribute basis
2749 - added tests for this
2750 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2751 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2752 experimental feature and probably not finished
2753 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2754 more details, or ask about it on #moose
