1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
6 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
7 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
8 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
9 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
10 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
11 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
14 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
17 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
18 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
21 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
22 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
24 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
25 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
26 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
29 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
30 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
31 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
34 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
35 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
37 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
38 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
39 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
42 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
43 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
44 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
45 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
46 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
47 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
49 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
51 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
54 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
55 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
56 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
58 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
59 associated_methods. (hdp)
60 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
61 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
62 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
65 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
66 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
67 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
68 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
70 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
71 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
72 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
74 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
77 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
78 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
79 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
82 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
83 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
85 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
87 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
88 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
90 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
91 * Moose::Manual::Types
92 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
93 string parsing rathole (mst)
95 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
96 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
97 using plain objects instead
100 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
103 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
105 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
106 three times today (perigrin)
107 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
108 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
111 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
112 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
113 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
116 - A role's required methods are now represented by
117 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
118 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
119 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
120 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
121 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
124 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
125 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
126 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
127 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
130 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
132 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
135 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
137 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
140 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
141 during global destruction. This method has been made more
142 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
146 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
147 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
150 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
151 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
153 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
154 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
155 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
158 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
160 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
161 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
164 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
168 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
169 methods during global destruction (doy)
172 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
173 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
177 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
178 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
181 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
182 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
185 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
186 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
188 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
190 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
194 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
195 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
196 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
199 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
200 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
201 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
204 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
206 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
208 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
212 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
213 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
214 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
216 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
217 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
218 of the Moose core (Sartak)
221 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
224 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
225 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
226 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
230 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
231 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
234 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
236 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
239 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
240 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
243 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
244 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
247 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
248 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
251 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
254 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
257 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
261 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
264 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
267 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
268 * More deprecations and renamings
269 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
270 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
271 when an object is constructed)
274 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
275 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
276 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
279 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
280 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
281 feature, and it works again.
284 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
286 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
288 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
289 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
290 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
293 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
294 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
295 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
296 message. Test provided by perigrin.
298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
299 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
300 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
301 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
302 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
305 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
306 metaclass object. (hdp)
308 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
309 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
310 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
311 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
312 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
313 point out this fact. (hdp)
315 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
316 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
318 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
319 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
323 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
324 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
325 called during instance construction were passed the
326 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
327 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
329 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
330 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
333 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
334 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
335 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
338 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
339 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
340 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
341 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
342 them, but they are not for "public" use.
345 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
347 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
348 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
349 when an object is constructed)
350 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
352 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
353 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
354 when an object is constructed)
355 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
356 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
357 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
360 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
362 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
363 * No changes from 0.72_01.
365 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
367 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
368 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
369 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
372 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
373 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
375 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
377 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
378 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
380 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
381 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
384 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
385 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
388 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
389 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
390 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
393 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
397 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
398 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
399 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
402 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
405 * Moose::Manual::Delta
406 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
407 with recommended workarounds.
409 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
410 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
413 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
414 (yes, spelled like that).
416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
417 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
420 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
421 changes in latest Class::MOP.
423 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
426 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
427 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
428 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
429 instead. Reported by doy.
431 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
433 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
434 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
437 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
438 message) is now deprecated.
439 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
440 often got it wrong. For example:
442 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
444 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
448 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
449 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
450 bite you in weird cases.
452 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
454 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
457 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
458 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
462 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
465 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
466 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
469 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
470 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
473 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
476 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
478 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
479 - added tests for this (stevan)
481 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
482 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
483 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
484 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
488 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
489 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
490 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
491 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
493 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
494 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
495 - added tests for this (rafl)
497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
498 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
499 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
500 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
504 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
505 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
508 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
509 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
510 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
512 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
514 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
515 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
518 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
519 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
520 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
521 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
523 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
524 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
525 error message did not specify the attribute name
528 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
530 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
532 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
533 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
534 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
537 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
540 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
542 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
543 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
544 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
545 of fixes and formatting improvements.
547 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
549 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
550 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
551 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
552 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
554 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
555 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
556 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
559 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
560 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
561 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
562 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
565 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
566 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
567 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
568 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
570 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
571 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
572 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
573 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
574 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
575 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
577 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
578 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
579 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
580 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
581 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
582 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
585 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
587 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
588 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
589 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
590 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
593 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
596 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
600 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
601 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
603 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
604 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
605 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
608 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
609 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
610 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
612 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
613 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
614 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
615 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
618 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
621 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
622 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
624 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
626 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
629 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
630 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
631 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
632 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
633 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
634 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
637 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
638 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
639 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
640 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
641 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
642 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
643 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
644 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
645 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
647 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
649 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
650 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
653 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
654 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
655 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
657 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
658 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
659 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
660 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
661 same methods for a single role did not work
662 right (worked just fine with multiple
664 - added test for this (stevan)
666 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
667 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
668 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
671 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
672 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
673 - added test for this (t0m)
676 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
677 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
678 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
681 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
682 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
683 - added test for this (t0m)
685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
686 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
687 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
688 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
689 - added test for this (perigrin)
692 - create method for constructing a role
694 - added test for this (Sartak)
695 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
696 - added test for this (Sartak)
699 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
701 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
702 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
703 methods is useful (Sartak)
705 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
707 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
711 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
712 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
713 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
714 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
715 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
716 - added tests for this (jdv79)
719 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
720 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
722 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
723 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
724 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
725 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
726 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
728 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
730 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
731 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
732 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
735 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
736 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
737 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
738 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
739 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
740 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
744 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
745 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
746 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
747 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
748 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
749 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
750 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
751 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
752 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
753 future. (jnapiorkowski)
755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
756 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
760 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
761 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
762 type. (jnapiorkowski)
763 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
765 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
767 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
768 predicate, and link to more details sections in
769 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
772 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
775 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
776 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
777 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
780 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
781 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
783 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
785 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
786 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
789 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
790 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
793 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
794 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
795 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
796 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
799 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
802 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
803 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
804 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
805 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
806 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
807 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
808 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
810 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
811 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
812 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
814 * Roles and role application
815 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
816 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
817 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
818 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
819 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
821 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
822 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
825 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
826 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
827 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
828 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
829 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
832 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
833 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
834 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
835 changes in the Moose internals.
837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
839 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
843 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
844 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
845 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
847 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
848 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
849 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
850 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
852 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
853 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
854 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
855 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
856 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
857 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
858 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
859 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
860 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
861 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
862 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
863 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
864 constraint implementations.
866 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
870 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
871 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
872 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
873 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
874 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
875 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
876 - added tests for this (rafl)
879 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
880 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
881 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
882 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
883 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
884 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
885 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
886 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
889 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
890 - added tests for this (thepler)
892 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
893 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
894 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
895 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
900 * Moose::Meta::Method
903 * Moose::Error::Default
904 * Moose::Error::Croak
905 * Moose::Error::Confess
906 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
907 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
908 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
909 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
910 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
911 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
913 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
915 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
916 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
919 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
920 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
921 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
924 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
925 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
926 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
927 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
930 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
931 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
933 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
934 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
935 several major changes in this release of Moose.
936 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
939 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
941 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
942 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
944 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
949 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
950 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
952 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
954 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
955 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
956 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
957 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
958 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
959 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
961 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
962 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
963 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
965 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
966 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
967 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
970 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
971 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
972 dependency to 0.64_07.
974 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
975 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
976 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
979 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
983 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
984 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
985 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
986 coincidental exception. (t0m).
987 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
989 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
990 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
992 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
994 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
995 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
999 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1000 method when that method was provided by another role being
1001 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1002 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1004 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1006 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1007 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1010 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1011 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1012 - added test for this (t0m)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1015 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1016 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1018 - added test for this (t0m)
1021 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1022 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1023 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1027 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1029 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1031 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1032 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1034 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1035 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1036 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1039 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1042 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1043 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1044 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1045 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1049 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1050 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1051 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1055 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1056 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1057 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1060 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1064 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1065 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1066 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1068 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1070 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1071 created so that the process can be more easily
1072 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1074 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1075 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1076 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1077 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1080 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1083 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1084 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1087 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1088 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1091 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1092 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1095 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1098 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1101 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1102 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1106 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1107 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1109 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1110 ... this is not my day today ...
1112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1113 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1114 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1115 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1116 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1119 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1120 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1121 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1122 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1123 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1126 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1128 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1129 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1130 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1131 this is not ever something you want to do
1132 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1133 - added tests for this (stevan)
1136 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1138 - added test for this
1140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1141 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1142 - added tests for this (wreis)
1144 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1145 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1146 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1147 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1150 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1151 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1154 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1156 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1158 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1161 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1162 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1163 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1164 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1165 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1166 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1167 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1168 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 - added tests for this
1171 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1172 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1173 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1174 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1176 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1179 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1180 - added tests for this (sartak)
1181 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1182 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1185 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1187 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1188 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1192 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1193 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1195 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1197 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1198 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1201 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1202 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1203 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1206 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1207 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1209 - added docs for this (TODO).
1210 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1211 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1212 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1213 - fix builder and default both being used
1218 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1220 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1221 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1222 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1226 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1230 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1231 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1232 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1235 - move the ClassName type check code to
1236 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1238 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1239 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1241 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1242 (early morning release engineering)--
1244 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1245 which was causing the indexer to choke
1247 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1248 (late night release engineering)--
1250 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1251 changes in this release
1253 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1254 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1255 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1257 * Moose::Meta::Class
1258 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1259 since it is called so often by &meta
1261 * Moose::Meta::Class
1263 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1264 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1268 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1269 method for immutablization to check if the
1270 destructor object even needs to be created
1273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1274 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1275 - added more descriptive error message to help
1276 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1277 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1279 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1281 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1282 XS based functionality is now optional
1283 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1284 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1285 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1287 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1288 to take care of this, mostly we added
1289 support for the package_name and name
1290 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1291 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1292 support regexp matching of names
1293 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1294 - tests added for this
1295 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1296 is currently not supported in roles,
1297 but, ... patches welcome
1298 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1299 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1300 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1303 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1304 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1305 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1306 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1307 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1308 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1309 - added test for this
1311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1312 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1313 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1316 * Moose::Meta::Class
1317 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1321 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1323 - added tests for this
1324 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1325 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1328 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1329 themselves parameterizable types
1331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1332 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1333 called by the inlined immutable
1335 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1337 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1338 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1339 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1340 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1343 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1347 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1348 causing occasional cpantester failures
1349 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1350 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1352 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1354 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1355 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1358 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1359 ->body when looping through the
1360 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1362 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1363 eating the $@ values, and so not
1364 working correctly, it still kind of
1365 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1366 - added tests for this
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1369 - added new recipe for immutable
1370 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1373 - added new recipe for builder and
1374 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1377 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1378 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1381 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1383 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1384 since Module::Install has done that.
1386 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1388 drink more coffee before
1389 doing release engineering
1391 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1392 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1393 modules. This fixes that.
1395 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1396 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1397 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1399 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1400 since we have tests which need the C3
1403 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1404 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1406 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1407 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)

1506 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1508 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1799 - added tests for this
1802 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1803 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1846 when they encounter overriden or modified
1847 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1848 - added tests for this
1850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1858 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1861 * Parameterized Types
1862 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1863 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1864 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1865 They can also be nested:
1866 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1867 And work with the type unions as well:
1868 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1870 * Better Framework Extendability
1871 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1872 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1873 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1874 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1877 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1878 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1879 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1880 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2080 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2081 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2083 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2084 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2086 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2087 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2088 so this release is just to fix that.
2091 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2092 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2093 (thanks to konobi for this)
2094 - added tests and docs
2096 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2097 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2100 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2101 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2102 - added tests for this
2103 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2104 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2105 functions to facilitate introspection.
2107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2108 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2109 to build the list of delegated methods
2110 correctly (and not override important
2111 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2113 - added tests and docs for this
2114 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2115 so that you can actually document your
2116 attributes and inspect them through the
2118 - added tests and docs for this
2120 * Moose::Meta::Class
2121 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2122 it will first look in for the class in the
2123 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2124 then default to just loading $name.
2125 - added tests and docs for this
2127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2128 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2129 - added test for this
2132 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2133 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2134 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2135 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2137 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2138 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2141 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2143 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2144 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2145 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2148 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2149 !! for this developer release to work !!
2151 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2152 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2153 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2154 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2155 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2156 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2157 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2158 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2159 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2160 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2161 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2163 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2164 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2165 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2166 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2169 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2171 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2172 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2173 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2175 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2177 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2178 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2181 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2182 called unless they actually need to be.
2183 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2184 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2185 DEMOLISH method present.
2187 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2189 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2190 type constraint, which allows for a
2191 hand optimized version of the type
2192 constraint to be used when possible.
2193 - Any internally created type constraints
2194 now provide an optimized version as well.
2196 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2198 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2199 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2200 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2203 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2204 your class namespace of these exported
2207 * Moose::Meta::Class
2208 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2209 comes up during global destruction
2211 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2215 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2219 - changed how we do type checks so that
2220 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2223 - moved accessor generation methods to
2224 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2225 conform to the API changes from
2228 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2229 - changed how constraints are compiled
2230 so that we do less recursion and more
2231 iteration. This makes the type check
2233 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2237 - created this from methods formerly found in
2238 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2240 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2241 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2244 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2247 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2249 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2252 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2253 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2254 - added tests for this
2255 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2256 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2257 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2258 - removed tests for this
2260 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2262 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2263 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2264 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2267 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2268 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2269 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2271 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2272 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2273 comments for more info.
2276 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2277 asked questions and common problems
2279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2280 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2281 - added tests for this
2283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2284 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2285 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2286 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2288 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2289 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2292 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2293 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2294 is much appreciated :)
2295 - added tests for this
2297 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2298 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2299 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2303 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2305 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2307 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2308 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2312 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2313 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2314 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2316 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2318 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2321 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2322 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2323 keywords because we need to localize them.
2324 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2326 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2327 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2328 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2331 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2334 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2335 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2336 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2339 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2340 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2341 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2343 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2345 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2346 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2347 bottom of your class file.
2350 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2353 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2355 - improved error message when loading modules so
2356 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2357 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2358 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2361 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2362 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2363 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2365 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2366 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2368 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2369 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2370 turn them on for you.
2371 - added tests for this
2372 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2373 in Moose::Meta::Class

2400 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2401 - This release works in combination with
2402 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2403 release because it uses the a new
2404 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2405 complete Role implementation. It has
2406 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2407 the the previous CPAN version. This
2408 release also lacks good updated docs,
2409 the official release will have updated docs.
2412 - refactored the keyword exports
2413 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2414 accepts more than one Role at a time

2420 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2421 accepts more than one Role at a time
2423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2425 string enumerations which can be used as
2427 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2430 - more careful checking of params to new()
2433 - much work done on the role composition
2434 - many new tests for conflict detection
2435 and composition edge cases
2436 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2437 looking at the tests
2439 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2440 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2441 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2443 * Moose::Meta::Class

2446 - some small additions to support Roles
2448 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2449 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2451 - some small changes to support the new
2453 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2454 with the 'handles' option
2455 - added several tests for this
2456 - no docs for this yet

2460 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2461 thanks to chansen for this commit
2462 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2463 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2464 on a per-attribute basis
2465 - added tests for this
2466 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2467 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
