1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
7 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
8 * Moose::Object now has stubs for BUILD and DEMOLISH, so they can be safely
9 wrapped in roles without needing to provide your own stubs. (doy)
10 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions Moose::before,
11 Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs, with the same
12 behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp result in an error.
14 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
18 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
22 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
23 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
25 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
26 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
27 - Moose::Util::does_role
28 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
29 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
30 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
32 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
36 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
37 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
38 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
41 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
45 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
46 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
49 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
53 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
54 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
57 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
61 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
63 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
66 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
67 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
68 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
70 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
71 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
72 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
75 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
76 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
78 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
79 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
80 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
82 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
84 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
85 substr et al, again. (sorear)
87 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
89 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
92 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
93 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
95 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
96 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
98 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
99 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
100 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
101 dependencies installed.
103 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
104 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
107 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
109 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
113 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
116 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
117 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
120 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
121 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
123 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
124 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
127 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
128 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
129 others. (nothingmuch)
131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
132 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
133 remove_accessors. (doy)
135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
136 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
137 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
140 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
142 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
144 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
145 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
148 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
149 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
152 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
154 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
156 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
157 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
161 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
162 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
163 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
164 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
166 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
169 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
170 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
171 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
172 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
175 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
176 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
177 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
178 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
179 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
181 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
182 which were not receiving the value of
183 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
184 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
185 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
186 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
190 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
191 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
192 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
193 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
194 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
198 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
199 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
200 - added tests for this (Stevan)
203 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
204 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
205 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
208 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
210 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
213 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
214 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
217 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
218 class if you pass it options for
219 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
220 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
221 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
222 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
223 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
224 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
225 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
226 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
227 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
229 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
230 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
231 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
232 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
233 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
236 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
238 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
239 existing delegation API. (hdp)
241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
242 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
243 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
244 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
245 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
246 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
249 * Moose::Error::Croak
250 * Moose::Error::Confess
251 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
252 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
255 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
258 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
259 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
260 installing a broken sub. (doy)
263 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
266 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
267 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
268 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
270 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
271 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
272 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
273 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
274 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
277 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
280 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
282 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
283 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
286 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
287 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
291 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
292 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
295 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
296 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
297 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
298 using it for new code!
300 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
302 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
303 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
305 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
306 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
307 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
308 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
309 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
310 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
311 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
312 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
315 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
318 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
319 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
323 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
326 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
327 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
331 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
332 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
335 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
336 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
338 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
339 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
340 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
343 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
345 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
346 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
347 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
348 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
350 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
352 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
356 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
357 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
359 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
360 associated_methods. (hdp)
361 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
362 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
363 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
364 misspelled) arguments
366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
367 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
368 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
369 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
373 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
375 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
379 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
380 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
383 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
384 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
386 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
388 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
389 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
391 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
392 * Moose::Manual::Types
393 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
394 string parsing rathole (mst)
396 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
397 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
398 using plain objects instead
400 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
401 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
404 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
406 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
407 three times today (perigrin)
408 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
409 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
412 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
413 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
414 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
417 - A role's required methods are now represented by
418 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
419 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
420 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
421 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
422 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
425 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
426 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
427 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
428 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
431 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
433 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
436 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
438 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
441 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
442 during global destruction. This method has been made more
443 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
447 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
448 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
451 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
452 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
454 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
455 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
456 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
459 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
461 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
462 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
465 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
469 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
470 methods during global destruction (doy)
473 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
474 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
478 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
479 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
482 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
483 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
486 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
487 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
489 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
491 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
495 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
496 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
497 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
500 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
501 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
502 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
505 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
507 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
509 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
513 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
514 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
515 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
517 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
518 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
519 of the Moose core (Sartak)
522 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
525 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
526 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
527 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
531 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
532 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
535 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
537 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
540 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
541 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
544 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
545 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
548 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
549 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
552 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
555 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
558 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
562 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
564 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
565 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
568 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
569 * More deprecations and renamings
570 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
571 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
572 when an object is constructed)
575 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
576 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
577 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
580 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
581 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
582 feature, and it works again.
585 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
587 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
589 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
590 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
591 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
593 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
594 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
595 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
596 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
597 message. Test provided by perigrin.
599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
600 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
601 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
602 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
603 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
606 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
607 metaclass object. (hdp)
609 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
610 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
611 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
612 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
613 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
614 point out this fact. (hdp)
616 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
617 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
619 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
620 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
624 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
625 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
626 called during instance construction were passed the
627 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
628 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
630 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
631 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
634 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
635 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
636 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
639 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
640 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
641 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
642 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
643 them, but they are not for "public" use.
646 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
648 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
649 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
650 when an object is constructed)
651 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
653 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
654 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
655 when an object is constructed)
656 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
657 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
658 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
661 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
663 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
664 * No changes from 0.72_01.
666 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
668 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
669 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
670 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
672 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
673 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
674 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
676 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
678 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
679 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
681 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
682 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
685 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
686 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
689 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
690 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
691 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
694 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
698 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
699 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
700 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
703 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
706 * Moose::Manual::Delta
707 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
708 with recommended workarounds.
710 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
711 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
713 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
714 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
715 (yes, spelled like that).
717 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
718 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
721 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
722 changes in latest Class::MOP.
724 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
727 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
728 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
729 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
730 instead. Reported by doy.
732 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
734 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
735 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
738 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
739 message) is now deprecated.
740 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
741 often got it wrong. For example:
743 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
745 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
749 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
750 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
751 bite you in weird cases.
753 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
754 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
755 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
758 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
759 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
763 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
766 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
767 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
770 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
771 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
774 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
777 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
779 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
780 - added tests for this (stevan)
782 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
783 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
784 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
785 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
789 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
790 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
791 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
792 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
794 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
795 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
796 - added tests for this (rafl)
798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
799 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
800 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
801 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
805 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
806 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
809 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
810 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
811 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
813 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
815 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
816 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
819 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
820 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
821 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
822 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
825 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
826 error message did not specify the attribute name
829 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
831 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
833 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
834 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
835 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
838 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
841 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
843 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
844 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
845 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
846 of fixes and formatting improvements.
848 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
850 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
851 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
852 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
853 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
856 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
857 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
860 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
861 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
862 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
863 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
866 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
867 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
868 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
869 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
872 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
873 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
874 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
875 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
876 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
878 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
879 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
880 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
881 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
882 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
883 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
885 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
886 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
888 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
889 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
890 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
891 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
894 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
897 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
901 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
902 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
904 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
905 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
906 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
909 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
910 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
911 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
914 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
915 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
916 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
919 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
922 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
923 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
925 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
927 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
930 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
931 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
932 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
933 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
934 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
935 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
937 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
938 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
939 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
940 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
941 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
942 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
943 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
944 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
945 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
946 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
948 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
950 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
951 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
953 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
954 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
955 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
956 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
958 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
959 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
960 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
961 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
962 same methods for a single role did not work
963 right (worked just fine with multiple
965 - added test for this (stevan)
967 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
968 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
969 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
972 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
973 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
974 - added test for this (t0m)
977 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
978 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
979 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
982 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
983 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
984 - added test for this (t0m)
986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
987 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
988 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
989 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
990 - added test for this (perigrin)
993 - create method for constructing a role
995 - added test for this (Sartak)
996 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
997 - added test for this (Sartak)
1000 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1002 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1003 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1004 methods is useful (Sartak)
1006 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1008 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1011 * Moose::Meta::Class
1012 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1013 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1014 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1015 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1016 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1017 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1020 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1021 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1023 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1024 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1025 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1026 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1027 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1029 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1031 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1032 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1036 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1037 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1038 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1039 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1040 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1041 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1045 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1046 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1047 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1048 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1049 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1050 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1051 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1052 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1053 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1054 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1056 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1057 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1060 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1061 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1062 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1063 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1064 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1066 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1068 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1069 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1070 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1073 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1075 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1076 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1077 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1078 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1082 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1084 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1086 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1087 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1089 * Moose::Meta::Class
1090 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1091 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1092 a required attribute
1094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1096 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1097 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1100 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1103 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1104 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1105 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1106 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1107 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1108 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1109 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1111 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1112 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1113 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1115 * Roles and role application
1116 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1117 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1118 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1119 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1120 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1122 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1123 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1126 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1127 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1128 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1129 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1130 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1133 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1134 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1135 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1136 changes in the Moose internals.
1138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1140 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1143 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1144 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1145 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1146 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1148 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1149 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1150 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1151 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1154 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1155 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1156 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1157 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1158 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1159 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1160 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1161 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1162 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1163 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1164 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1165 constraint implementations.
1167 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1171 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1172 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1173 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1174 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1175 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1176 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1177 - added tests for this (rafl)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Class
1180 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1181 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1182 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1183 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1184 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1185 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1186 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1187 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1190 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1191 - added tests for this (thepler)
1193 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1194 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1195 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1196 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1199 * Moose::Meta::Class
1200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1201 * Moose::Meta::Method
1204 * Moose::Error::Default
1205 * Moose::Error::Croak
1206 * Moose::Error::Confess
1207 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1208 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1209 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1210 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1211 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1212 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1214 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1216 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1217 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 * Moose::Unsweetened
1220 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1221 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1222 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1225 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1226 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1227 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1228 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1231 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1232 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1234 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1235 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1236 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1237 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1240 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1242 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1243 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1245 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1248 - Various bug fixes.
1250 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1251 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1253 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1255 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1256 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1257 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1258 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1259 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1260 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1263 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1264 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1266 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1268 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1271 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1272 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1273 dependency to 0.64_07.
1275 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1276 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1277 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1280 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1284 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1285 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1286 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1287 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1288 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1291 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1293 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1295 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1296 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1300 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1301 method when that method was provided by another role being
1302 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1305 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1307 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1308 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1311 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1312 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1313 - added test for this (t0m)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1316 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1317 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1319 - added test for this (t0m)
1322 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1323 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1324 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1327 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1328 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1330 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1332 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1333 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1336 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1337 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1410 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1411 ... this is not my day today ...
1413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1414 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1415 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1416 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1417 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1420 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1421 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1422 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1423 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1424 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1427 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1429 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1430 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1462 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1463 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1464 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1465 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1466 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1467 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1468 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1469 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1470 - added tests for this
1472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1473 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1583 XS based functionality is now optional
1584 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2037 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2038 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2039 types without having to explictly define them
2040 - added tests for this
2042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2043 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2044 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2046 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2047 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2048 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2049 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2050 - added tests for this
2051 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2052 a single type at different times instead of
2053 having to do it all in one place
2054 - added tests for this
2056 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2057 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2058 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2061 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2062 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2063 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2064 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2065 new features above (although you cannot add
2066 more type coercions for Union types)
2068 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2070 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2071 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2072 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2073 - added tests for this.
2074 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2075 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2076 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2077 - added tests for this
2078 - added docs for this
2080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2081 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2082 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2083 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2084 instead it will just return undef.
2085 - added docs for this
2087 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2099 with work correctly.
2100 - added tests for this
2103 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2104 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2107 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2108 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2109 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2111 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2143 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2146 - fixed how required methods are handled
2147 when they encounter overriden or modified
2148 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2149 - added tests for this
2151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2152 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2153 the | always creates a union and so is
2154 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2155 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2157 - added more tests for this
2159 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2162 * Parameterized Types
2163 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2164 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2165 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2166 They can also be nested:
2167 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2168 And work with the type unions as well:
2169 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2171 * Better Framework Extendability
2172 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2173 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2174 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2175 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2178 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2179 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2180 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2181 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2184 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2186 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2187 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2190 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2217 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2218 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2220 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2221 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2222 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2223 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2225 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2226 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2227 - updated the accompanying test as well
2229 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2230 +++ with new features added as well +++
2232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2236 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2238 - added tests for this
2240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2241 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2242 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2243 can track where the type constraints are created
2245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2246 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2247 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2249 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2250 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2251 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2252 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2266 (thanks to shlomif).
2268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2269 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2270 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2271 - added tests for this
2272 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2274 - added tests for this
2276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2304 - added tests for these
2307 - This contains Moose specific test functions
2308 - added tests for these
2310 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2311 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2314 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2315 to the 'handles' option.
2316 - added tests and docs for this

2319 (but not changing the handles option)
2320 - added tests and docs for this
2323 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2324 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2325 - adjusted tests for this
2327 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2329 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2335 the other side (perigrin)
2337 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2339 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2340 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2341 prototypes for functions
2342 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2343 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2353 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2356 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2357 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2358 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2359 - added tests for this
2361 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2363 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2376 where not handled correctly in roles
2377 - added tests for this
2379 * Moose::Meta::Class
2380 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2381 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2382 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2384 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2385 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2387 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2388 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2389 so this release is just to fix that.
2392 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2393 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2394 (thanks to konobi for this)
2395 - added tests and docs
2397 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2398 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2401 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2402 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2403 - added tests for this

2405 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2406 functions to facilitate introspection.
2408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2409 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2410 to build the list of delegated methods
2411 correctly (and not override important
2412 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2414 - added tests and docs for this
2415 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2416 so that you can actually document your
2417 attributes and inspect them through the
2419 - added tests and docs for this
2421 * Moose::Meta::Class
2422 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2423 it will first look in for the class in the
2424 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2425 then default to just loading $name.
2426 - added tests and docs for this
2428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2429 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2430 - added test for this
2433 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2434 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2435 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2436 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2438 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2439 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2442 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2444 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2445 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2446 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2449 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2450 !! for this developer release to work !!
2452 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2453 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2454 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2455 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2456 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2457 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2458 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2459 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2460 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2461 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2462 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2464 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2465 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2466 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2467 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2470 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2472 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2473 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2474 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2476 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2478 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2479 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2482 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2483 called unless they actually need to be.
2484 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2485 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2486 DEMOLISH method present.
2488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2490 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2491 type constraint, which allows for a
2492 hand optimized version of the type
2493 constraint to be used when possible.
2494 - Any internally created type constraints
2495 now provide an optimized version as well.
2497 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2499 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2500 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2501 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2504 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2505 your class namespace of these exported
2508 * Moose::Meta::Class
2509 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2510 comes up during global destruction
2512 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2516 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2520 - changed how we do type checks so that
2521 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2524 - moved accessor generation methods to
2525 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2526 conform to the API changes from
2529 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2530 - changed how constraints are compiled
2531 so that we do less recursion and more
2532 iteration. This makes the type check
2534 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2538 - created this from methods formerly found in
2539 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2541 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2542 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2545 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2548 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2550 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2553 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2554 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2555 - added tests for this
2556 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2557 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2558 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2559 - removed tests for this
2561 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2563 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2564 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2565 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2568 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2569 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2570 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2572 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2573 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2574 comments for more info.
2577 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2578 asked questions and common problems
2580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2581 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2582 - added tests for this
2584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2585 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2586 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2587 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2589 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2590 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2593 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2594 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2595 is much appreciated :)
2596 - added tests for this
2598 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2599 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2600 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2604 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2606 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2608 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2609 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2613 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2614 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2615 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2617 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2619 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2622 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2623 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2624 keywords because we need to localize them.
2625 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2627 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2628 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2629 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2632 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2636 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2637 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2640 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2641 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2642 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2644 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2646 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2647 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2648 bottom of your class file.
2651 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2654 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2656 - improved error message when loading modules so
2657 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2658 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2659 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2662 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2663 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2664 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2666 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2667 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2669 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2670 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2671 turn them on for you.
2672 - added tests for this
2673 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2674 in Moose::Meta::Class
2677 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2678 automatically turned on for you.
2679 - added tests for this
2682 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2683 - added tests for this
2684 - added some more edge case tests

2696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2697 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2700 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2701 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2702 - This release works in combination with
2703 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2704 release because it uses the a new
2705 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2706 complete Role implementation. It has
2707 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2708 the the previous CPAN version. This
2709 release also lacks good updated docs,
2710 the official release will have updated docs.
2713 - refactored the keyword exports
2714 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2715 accepts more than one Role at a time
2716 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2717 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2720 - refactored the keyword exports
2721 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2722 accepts more than one Role at a time
2724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2725 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2726 string enumerations which can be used as
2728 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2731 - more careful checking of params to new()
2734 - much work done on the role composition
2735 - many new tests for conflict detection
2736 and composition edge cases

2761 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2762 thanks to chansen for this commit
