1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
7 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
8 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
10 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
11 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
15 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
16 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
18 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
19 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
23 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
24 is applied to a class (t0m).
26 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
27 twice in the same sentance (Florian Ragwitz).
29 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
32 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
36 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
37 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
39 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
43 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
44 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
46 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
49 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
50 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
51 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
53 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
54 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
55 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
58 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
60 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
64 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
65 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
69 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
71 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
75 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
76 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
80 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
81 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
85 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
91 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
92 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
96 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
97 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
101 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
102 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
104 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
108 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
109 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
110 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
113 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
117 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
118 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
119 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
120 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
122 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
126 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
127 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
128 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
132 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
135 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
140 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
141 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
145 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
146 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
148 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
149 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
150 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
151 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
153 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
157 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
161 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
162 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
164 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
165 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
166 - Moose::Util::does_role
167 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
168 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
169 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
171 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
175 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
176 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
177 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
180 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
184 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
185 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
188 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
192 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
193 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
196 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
200 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
202 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
203 class. (Dave Rolsky).
205 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
206 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
207 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
209 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
210 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
211 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
214 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
215 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
217 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
218 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
219 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
221 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
223 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
224 substr et al, again. (sorear)
226 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
228 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
231 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
232 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
234 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
235 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
237 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
238 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
239 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
240 dependencies installed.
242 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
243 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
246 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
248 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
252 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
255 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
256 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
259 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
260 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
262 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
263 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
266 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
267 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
268 others. (nothingmuch)
270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
271 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
272 remove_accessors. (doy)
274 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
275 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
276 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
279 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
281 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
283 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
284 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
287 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
288 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
291 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
293 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
295 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
296 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
300 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
301 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
302 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
303 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
305 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
308 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
309 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
310 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
311 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
314 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
315 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
316 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
317 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
318 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
320 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
321 which were not receiving the value of
322 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
323 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
324 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
325 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
329 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
330 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
331 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
332 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
333 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
337 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
338 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
339 - added tests for this (Stevan)
342 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
343 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
344 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
347 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
349 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
352 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
353 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
356 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
357 class if you pass it options for
358 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
359 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
360 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
361 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
362 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
363 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
364 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
365 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
366 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
368 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
369 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
370 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
371 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
372 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
375 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
377 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
378 existing delegation API. (hdp)
380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
381 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
382 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
383 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
384 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
385 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
388 * Moose::Error::Croak
389 * Moose::Error::Confess
390 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
391 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
394 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
397 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
398 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
399 installing a broken sub. (doy)
402 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
405 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
406 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
407 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
409 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
410 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
411 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
412 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
413 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
416 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
419 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
421 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
422 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
425 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
426 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
430 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
431 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
434 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
435 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
436 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
437 using it for new code!
439 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
440 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
441 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
442 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
444 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
445 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
446 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
447 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
448 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
449 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
450 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
451 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
454 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
457 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
458 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
462 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
465 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
466 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
470 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
471 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
474 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
475 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
478 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
479 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
482 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
484 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
485 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
486 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
487 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
489 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
491 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
495 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
496 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
498 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
499 associated_methods. (hdp)
500 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
501 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
502 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
503 misspelled) arguments
505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
506 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
507 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
508 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
510 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
511 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
512 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
514 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
518 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
519 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
522 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
523 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
525 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
527 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
528 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
530 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
531 * Moose::Manual::Types
532 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
533 string parsing rathole (mst)
535 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
536 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
537 using plain objects instead
539 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
540 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
543 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
545 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
546 three times today (perigrin)
547 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
548 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
551 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
552 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
553 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
556 - A role's required methods are now represented by
557 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
558 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
559 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
560 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
561 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
564 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
565 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
566 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
567 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
570 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
572 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
575 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
577 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
580 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
581 during global destruction. This method has been made more
582 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
586 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
587 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
590 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
591 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
593 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
594 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
595 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
598 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
600 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
601 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
604 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
608 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
609 methods during global destruction (doy)
612 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
613 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
617 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
618 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
621 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
622 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
625 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
626 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
628 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
630 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
634 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
635 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
636 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
639 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
640 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
641 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
644 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
646 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
647 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
648 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
651 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
652 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
653 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
654 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
656 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
657 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
658 of the Moose core (Sartak)
661 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
664 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
665 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
666 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
670 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
671 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
674 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
676 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
679 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
680 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
683 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
684 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
687 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
688 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
691 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
694 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
697 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
701 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
704 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
707 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
708 * More deprecations and renamings
709 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
710 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
711 when an object is constructed)
714 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
715 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
716 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
719 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
720 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
721 feature, and it works again.
724 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
726 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
728 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
729 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
730 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
733 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
734 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
735 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
736 message. Test provided by perigrin.
738 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
739 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
740 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
741 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
742 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
745 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
746 metaclass object. (hdp)
748 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
749 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
750 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
751 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
752 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
753 point out this fact. (hdp)
755 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
756 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
758 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
759 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
763 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
764 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
765 called during instance construction were passed the
766 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
767 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
769 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
770 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
773 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
774 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
775 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
778 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
779 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
780 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
781 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
782 them, but they are not for "public" use.
785 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
787 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
788 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
789 when an object is constructed)
790 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
792 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
793 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
794 when an object is constructed)
795 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
796 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
797 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
800 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
802 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
803 * No changes from 0.72_01.
805 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
807 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
808 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
809 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
812 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
813 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
815 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
817 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
818 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
820 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
821 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
824 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
825 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
828 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
829 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
830 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
833 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
837 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
838 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
839 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
842 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
845 * Moose::Manual::Delta
846 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
847 with recommended workarounds.
849 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
850 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
852 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
853 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
854 (yes, spelled like that).
856 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
857 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
860 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
861 changes in latest Class::MOP.
863 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
865 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
866 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
867 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
868 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
869 instead. Reported by doy.
871 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
873 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
874 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
877 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
878 message) is now deprecated.
879 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
880 often got it wrong. For example:
882 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
884 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
888 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
889 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
890 bite you in weird cases.
892 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
893 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
894 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
897 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
898 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
902 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
905 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
906 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
909 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
910 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
913 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
916 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
918 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
919 - added tests for this (stevan)
921 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
922 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
923 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
924 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
928 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
929 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
930 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
931 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
933 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
934 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
935 - added tests for this (rafl)
937 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
938 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
939 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
940 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
944 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
945 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
948 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
949 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
950 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
952 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
954 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
955 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
958 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
959 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
960 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
961 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
964 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
965 error message did not specify the attribute name
968 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
970 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
972 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
973 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
974 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
977 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
980 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
982 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
983 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
984 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
985 of fixes and formatting improvements.
987 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
989 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
990 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
991 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
992 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
995 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
996 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
999 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1000 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1001 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1002 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1005 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1006 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1007 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1008 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1011 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1012 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1013 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1014 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1015 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1017 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1018 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1019 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1020 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1021 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1022 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1025 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1027 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1028 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1029 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1030 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1033 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1036 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1040 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1041 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1043 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1044 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1045 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1046 guts. (nothingmuch).
1048 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1050 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1053 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1054 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1055 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Class
1058 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1061 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1062 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1064 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1065 * Moose::Unsweetened
1066 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1069 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1070 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1071 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1072 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1073 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1074 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1077 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1078 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1079 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1080 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1081 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1082 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1084 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1085 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1087 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1089 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1090 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1093 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1094 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1095 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1098 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1099 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1100 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1101 same methods for a single role did not work
1102 right (worked just fine with multiple
1104 - added test for this (stevan)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1107 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1108 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1111 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1112 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1113 - added test for this (t0m)
1116 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1117 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1118 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1121 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1122 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1123 - added test for this (t0m)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1126 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1127 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1128 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1129 - added test for this (perigrin)
1132 - create method for constructing a role
1133 dynamically (Sartak)
1134 - added test for this (Sartak)
1135 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1136 - added test for this (Sartak)
1139 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1141 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1142 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1143 methods is useful (Sartak)
1145 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1147 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1150 * Moose::Meta::Class
1151 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1152 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1153 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1154 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1155 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1159 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1160 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1163 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1164 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1165 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1166 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1168 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1170 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1171 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1175 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1176 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1177 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1178 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1179 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1180 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1184 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1185 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1186 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1187 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1188 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1189 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1190 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1191 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1192 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1193 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1196 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1199 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1200 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1201 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1202 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1203 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1205 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1207 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1208 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1209 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1212 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1214 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1215 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1216 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1217 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1221 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1223 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1225 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1226 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Class
1229 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1230 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1231 a required attribute
1233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1235 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1236 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1239 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1242 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1243 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1244 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1245 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1246 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1247 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1248 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1251 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1252 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1254 * Roles and role application
1255 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1256 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1257 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1258 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1259 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1261 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1262 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1265 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1266 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1267 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1268 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1269 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1272 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1273 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1274 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1275 changes in the Moose internals.
1277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1279 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1283 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1284 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1285 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1288 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1289 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1290 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1293 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1294 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1295 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1296 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1297 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1298 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1299 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1300 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1301 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1302 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1303 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1304 constraint implementations.
1306 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1310 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1311 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1312 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1313 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1314 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1315 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1316 - added tests for this (rafl)
1318 * Moose::Meta::Class
1319 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1320 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1321 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1322 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1323 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1324 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1325 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1326 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1329 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1330 - added tests for this (thepler)
1332 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1333 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1334 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1335 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1338 * Moose::Meta::Class
1339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method
1343 * Moose::Error::Default
1344 * Moose::Error::Croak
1345 * Moose::Error::Confess
1346 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1347 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1348 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1349 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1350 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1351 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1353 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1355 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1356 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 * Moose::Unsweetened
1359 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1360 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1361 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1367 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1370 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1371 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1373 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1374 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1375 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1376 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1381 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1382 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1384 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1387 - Various bug fixes.

1423 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1424 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1425 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1426 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1427 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1430 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1462 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1463 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1466 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1467 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1469 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1472 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1550 ... this is not my day today ...
1552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1553 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1554 clone_and_inherit options still works for

1556 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1559 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1560 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1561 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1563 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1566 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1568 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1569 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1602 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1603 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1604 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1605 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1606 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1607 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1608 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1609 - added tests for this
1611 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1612 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1613 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2087 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2088 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2089 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2090 method in the first place ;)
2092 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008

2153 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2155 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2156 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2157 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2196 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2197 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2200 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2201 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2202 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2203 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2220 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2239 - added tests for this
2242 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2243 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2246 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2282 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2285 - fixed how required methods are handled
2286 when they encounter overriden or modified
2287 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2288 - added tests for this
2290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2291 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2292 the | always creates a union and so is
2293 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2294 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2296 - added more tests for this
2298 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2301 * Parameterized Types
2302 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2303 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2304 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2305 They can also be nested:
2306 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2307 And work with the type unions as well:
2308 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2310 * Better Framework Extendability
2311 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2312 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2313 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2314 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2317 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2318 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2319 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2320 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2323 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2325 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2326 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2329 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2385 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2386 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2388 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2458 (but not changing the handles option)
2459 - added tests and docs for this
2462 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2463 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2467 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2468 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2474 the other side (perigrin)
2476 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2478 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2479 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2480 prototypes for functions
2481 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2482 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2492 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2495 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2496 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2497 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2498 - added tests for this
2500 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2502 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2503 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

2524 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2526 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2527 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2528 so this release is just to fix that.
2531 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2532 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2533 (thanks to konobi for this)

2544 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2545 functions to facilitate introspection.
2547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2548 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2549 to build the list of delegated methods
2550 correctly (and not override important
2551 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2553 - added tests and docs for this
2554 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2555 so that you can actually document your
2556 attributes and inspect them through the
2558 - added tests and docs for this
2560 * Moose::Meta::Class
2561 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2562 it will first look in for the class in the
2563 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2564 then default to just loading $name.
2565 - added tests and docs for this
2567 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2568 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2569 - added test for this
2572 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2573 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2574 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2575 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2577 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2578 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2581 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2583 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2584 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2585 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2588 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2589 !! for this developer release to work !!
2591 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2592 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2593 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2594 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2595 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2596 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2597 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2598 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2599 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2600 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2601 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2603 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2604 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2605 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2606 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2609 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2611 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2612 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2613 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2615 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2617 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2618 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2621 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2622 called unless they actually need to be.
2623 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2624 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2625 DEMOLISH method present.
2627 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2628 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2629 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2630 type constraint, which allows for a
2631 hand optimized version of the type
2632 constraint to be used when possible.
2633 - Any internally created type constraints
2634 now provide an optimized version as well.
2636 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2638 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2639 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2640 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2643 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2644 your class namespace of these exported
2647 * Moose::Meta::Class
2648 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2649 comes up during global destruction
2651 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2655 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2659 - changed how we do type checks so that
2660 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2663 - moved accessor generation methods to
2664 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2665 conform to the API changes from
2668 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2669 - changed how constraints are compiled
2670 so that we do less recursion and more
2671 iteration. This makes the type check
2673 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2677 - created this from methods formerly found in
2678 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2680 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2681 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2684 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2686 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2687 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2689 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2692 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2693 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2694 - added tests for this
2695 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2696 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2697 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2698 - removed tests for this
2700 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2702 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2703 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2704 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2707 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2708 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2709 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2711 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2712 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2713 comments for more info.
2716 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2717 asked questions and common problems
2719 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2720 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2721 - added tests for this
2723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2724 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2725 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2726 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2728 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2729 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2732 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2733 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2734 is much appreciated :)
2735 - added tests for this
2737 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2738 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2739 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2742 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2743 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2745 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2747 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2748 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2752 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2753 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2754 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2756 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2758 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2761 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2762 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2763 keywords because we need to localize them.
2764 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2766 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2767 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2768 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2771 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2774 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2775 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2776 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2779 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2780 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2781 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2783 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2785 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2786 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2787 bottom of your class file.
2790 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2793 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2795 - improved error message when loading modules so
2796 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2797 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2798 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2801 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2802 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2803 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2806 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2808 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2809 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2810 turn them on for you.
2811 - added tests for this
2812 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2813 in Moose::Meta::Class
2816 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2817 automatically turned on for you.

2821 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2822 - added tests for this

2839 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2840 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2841 - This release works in combination with
2842 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2843 release because it uses the a new
2844 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2845 complete Role implementation. It has
2846 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2847 the the previous CPAN version. This
2848 release also lacks good updated docs,
2849 the official release will have updated docs.
2852 - refactored the keyword exports
2853 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2854 accepts more than one Role at a time
2855 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2856 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2859 - refactored the keyword exports
2860 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2861 accepts more than one Role at a time
2863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2864 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2865 string enumerations which can be used as
2867 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2870 - more careful checking of params to new()
2873 - much work done on the role composition
2874 - many new tests for conflict detection
2875 and composition edge cases
2876 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2877 looking at the tests
2879 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2880 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2881 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2883 * Moose::Meta::Class

2886 - some small additions to support Roles
2888 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2889 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2891 - some small changes to support the new
2893 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2894 with the 'handles' option
2895 - added several tests for this
2896 - no docs for this yet
2898 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2900 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2901 thanks to chansen for this commit
2902 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2903 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2904 on a per-attribute basis
2905 - added tests for this
2906 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2907 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2908 experimental feature and probably not finished
