1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
9 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
10 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
12 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
13 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
14 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
16 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
17 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
18 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
22 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
23 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
24 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
26 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
27 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
28 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
29 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
33 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
34 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
37 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
41 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
42 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
43 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
45 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
49 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
50 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
55 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
56 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
58 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
59 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
60 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
62 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
66 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
68 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
72 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
74 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
75 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
80 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
81 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
83 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
84 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
85 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
86 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
89 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
90 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
91 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
92 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
94 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
98 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
99 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
104 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
106 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
108 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
113 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
115 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
119 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
120 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
121 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
123 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
124 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
125 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
126 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
128 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
129 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
130 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
131 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
132 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
135 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
140 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
141 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
142 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
143 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
144 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
147 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
151 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
154 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
155 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
159 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
160 function (not just method). (doy)
164 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
165 and aren't easily installable/testable.
167 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
171 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
172 to be overridden more easily (doy).
174 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
178 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
179 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
181 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
185 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
186 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
187 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
189 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
193 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
194 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
195 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
197 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
198 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
202 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
203 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
205 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
206 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
210 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
211 is applied to a class (t0m).
213 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
214 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
216 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
219 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
220 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
222 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
223 be much more robust. (doy)
225 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
227 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
230 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
234 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
235 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
237 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
241 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
242 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
244 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
247 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
248 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
249 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
251 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
252 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
253 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
256 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
258 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
262 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
263 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
267 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
269 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
274 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
278 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
279 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
283 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
285 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
289 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
290 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
294 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
295 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
299 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
300 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
302 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
306 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
307 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
308 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
311 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
315 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
316 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
317 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
318 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
320 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
324 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
325 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
326 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
330 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
333 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
338 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
339 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
343 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
344 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
346 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
347 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
348 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
349 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
351 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
355 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
359 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
360 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
362 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
363 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
364 - Moose::Util::does_role
365 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
366 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
367 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
369 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
373 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
374 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
375 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
378 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
382 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
383 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
386 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
390 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
391 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
394 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
398 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
400 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
401 class. (Dave Rolsky).
403 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
404 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
405 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
407 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
408 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
409 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
412 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
413 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
415 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
416 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
417 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
419 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
421 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
422 substr et al, again. (sorear)
424 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
426 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
429 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
430 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
432 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
433 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
435 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
436 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
437 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
438 dependencies installed.
440 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
441 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
444 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
446 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
450 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
452 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
453 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
454 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
456 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
457 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
458 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
460 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
461 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
464 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
465 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
466 others. (nothingmuch)
468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
469 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
470 remove_accessors. (doy)
472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
473 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
474 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
477 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
479 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
481 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
482 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
485 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
486 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
489 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
491 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
493 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
494 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
498 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
499 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
500 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
501 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
503 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
506 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
507 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
508 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
509 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
512 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
513 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
514 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
515 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
516 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
518 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
519 which were not receiving the value of
520 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
521 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
522 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
523 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
527 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
528 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
529 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
530 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
531 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
535 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
536 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
537 - added tests for this (Stevan)
540 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
541 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
542 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
545 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
547 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
550 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
551 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
554 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
555 class if you pass it options for
556 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
557 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
558 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
559 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
560 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
561 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
562 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
563 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
564 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
566 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
567 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
568 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
569 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
570 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
573 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
575 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
576 existing delegation API. (hdp)
578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
579 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
580 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
581 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
582 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
583 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
586 * Moose::Error::Croak
587 * Moose::Error::Confess
588 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
589 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
592 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
595 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
596 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
597 installing a broken sub. (doy)
600 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
603 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
604 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
605 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
607 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
608 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
609 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
610 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
611 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
613 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
614 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
617 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
619 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
620 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
623 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
624 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
628 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
629 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
631 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
632 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
633 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
634 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
635 using it for new code!
637 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
638 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
639 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
640 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
642 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
643 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
644 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
645 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
646 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
647 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
648 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
649 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
652 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
655 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
656 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
660 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
663 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
664 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
668 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
669 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
672 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
673 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
675 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
676 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
677 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
680 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
682 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
683 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
684 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
685 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
687 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
689 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
693 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
694 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
696 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
697 associated_methods. (hdp)
698 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
699 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
700 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
701 misspelled) arguments
703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
704 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
705 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
706 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
709 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
710 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
712 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
716 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
717 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
720 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
721 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
723 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
725 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
726 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
728 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
729 * Moose::Manual::Types
730 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
731 string parsing rathole (mst)
733 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
734 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
735 using plain objects instead
737 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
738 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
741 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
743 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
744 three times today (perigrin)
745 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
746 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
749 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
750 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
751 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
754 - A role's required methods are now represented by
755 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
756 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
757 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
758 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
759 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
762 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
763 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
764 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
765 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
768 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
770 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
773 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
775 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
778 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
779 during global destruction. This method has been made more
780 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
784 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
785 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
788 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
789 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
791 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
792 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
793 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
796 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
798 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
799 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
802 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
806 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
807 methods during global destruction (doy)
810 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
811 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
815 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
816 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
819 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
820 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
823 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
824 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
826 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
828 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
832 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
833 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
834 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
837 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
838 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
839 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
842 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
844 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
846 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
850 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
851 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
852 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
854 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
855 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
856 of the Moose core (Sartak)
859 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
862 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
863 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
864 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
868 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
869 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
872 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
874 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
877 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
878 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
881 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
882 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
885 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
886 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
889 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
892 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
894 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
895 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
899 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
901 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
902 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
905 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
906 * More deprecations and renamings
907 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
908 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
909 when an object is constructed)
912 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
913 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
914 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
916 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
917 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
918 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
919 feature, and it works again.
922 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
924 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
926 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
927 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
928 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
930 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
931 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
932 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
933 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
934 message. Test provided by perigrin.
936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
937 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
938 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
939 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
940 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
943 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
944 metaclass object. (hdp)
946 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
947 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
948 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
949 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
950 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
951 point out this fact. (hdp)
953 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
954 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
956 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
957 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
961 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
962 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
963 called during instance construction were passed the
964 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
965 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
967 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
968 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
971 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
972 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
973 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
976 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
977 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
978 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
979 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
980 them, but they are not for "public" use.
983 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
985 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
986 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
987 when an object is constructed)
988 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
990 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
991 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
992 when an object is constructed)
993 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
994 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
995 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
998 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1000 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1001 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1003 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1005 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1006 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1007 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1010 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1011 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1013 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1015 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1016 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1018 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1019 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1022 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1023 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1026 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1027 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1028 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1031 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1035 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1036 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1037 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1039 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1040 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1043 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1044 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1045 with recommended workarounds.
1047 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1048 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1051 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1052 (yes, spelled like that).
1054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1055 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1057 * Moose::Meta::Class
1058 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1059 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1061 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1064 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1065 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1066 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1067 instead. Reported by doy.
1069 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1071 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1072 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1075 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1076 message) is now deprecated.
1077 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1078 often got it wrong. For example:
1080 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1082 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1086 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1087 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1088 bite you in weird cases.
1090 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1091 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1092 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1093 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1096 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1100 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1103 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1104 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1108 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1111 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1114 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1115 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1116 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1117 - added tests for this (stevan)
1119 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1120 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1121 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1122 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1126 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1127 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1128 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1129 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1131 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1132 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1133 - added tests for this (rafl)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1136 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1137 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1138 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1142 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1143 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1147 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1148 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1152 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1153 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1155 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1156 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1157 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1158 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1159 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1162 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1163 error message did not specify the attribute name
1166 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1168 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1170 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1171 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1172 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1175 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1178 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1180 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1181 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1182 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1183 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1185 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1187 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1188 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1189 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1190 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1193 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1194 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1197 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1198 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1199 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1200 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1203 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1204 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1205 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1206 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1210 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1211 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1212 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1213 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1215 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1216 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1217 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1218 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1219 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1220 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1223 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1225 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1226 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1227 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1228 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1231 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1234 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1238 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1239 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1242 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1243 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1244 guts. (nothingmuch).
1246 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1248 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1252 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1253 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1255 * Moose::Meta::Class
1256 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1259 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1260 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1263 * Moose::Unsweetened
1264 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1267 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1268 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1269 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1270 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1271 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1272 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1275 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1276 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1277 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1278 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1279 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1280 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1282 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1283 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1285 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1287 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1288 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1291 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1292 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1293 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1295 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1296 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1297 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1298 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1299 same methods for a single role did not work
1300 right (worked just fine with multiple
1302 - added test for this (stevan)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1305 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1306 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1309 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1310 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1311 - added test for this (t0m)
1314 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1315 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1316 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1319 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1320 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1321 - added test for this (t0m)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1324 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1325 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1326 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1327 - added test for this (perigrin)
1330 - create method for constructing a role
1331 dynamically (Sartak)
1332 - added test for this (Sartak)
1333 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1334 - added test for this (Sartak)
1337 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1340 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1341 methods is useful (Sartak)
1343 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1345 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1348 * Moose::Meta::Class
1349 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1350 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1351 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1352 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1353 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1357 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1358 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1360 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1362 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1363 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1364 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1368 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1369 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1370 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1373 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1374 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1375 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1376 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1377 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1378 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1381 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1382 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1383 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1384 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1385 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1386 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1387 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1388 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1389 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1390 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1391 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1393 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1394 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1398 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1399 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1400 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1401 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1403 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1405 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1406 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1407 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1410 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1413 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1414 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1415 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1418 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1419 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1421 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1423 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1424 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1426 * Moose::Meta::Class
1427 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1428 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1429 a required attribute
1431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1433 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1434 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1437 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1440 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1441 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1442 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1443 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1444 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1445 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1446 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1448 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1449 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1450 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1452 * Roles and role application
1453 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1454 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1455 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1456 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1457 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1459 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1460 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1463 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1464 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1465 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1466 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1467 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1470 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1471 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1472 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1473 changes in the Moose internals.
1475 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1477 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1481 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1482 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1483 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1486 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1487 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1488 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1491 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1492 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1493 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1494 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1495 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1496 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1497 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1498 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1499 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1500 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1501 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1502 constraint implementations.
1504 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1508 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1509 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1510 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1511 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1512 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1513 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1514 - added tests for this (rafl)
1516 * Moose::Meta::Class
1517 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1518 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1519 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1520 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1521 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1522 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1523 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1524 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1527 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1528 - added tests for this (thepler)
1530 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1531 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1532 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1533 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1536 * Moose::Meta::Class
1537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1538 * Moose::Meta::Method
1541 * Moose::Error::Default
1542 * Moose::Error::Croak
1543 * Moose::Error::Confess
1544 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1545 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1546 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1547 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1548 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1549 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1551 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1553 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1554 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1556 * Moose::Unsweetened
1557 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1558 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1559 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1562 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1563 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1564 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1565 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1568 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1569 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1571 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1572 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1573 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1574 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1577 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1579 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1580 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1582 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1585 - Various bug fixes.
1587 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1588 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1590 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1592 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1593 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1594 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1595 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1596 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1597 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1600 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1601 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1603 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1604 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1605 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1608 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1609 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1610 dependency to 0.64_07.
1612 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1613 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1614 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1617 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1620 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1621 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1622 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1623 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1624 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1625 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1628 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1630 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1632 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1633 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1637 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1638 method when that method was provided by another role being
1639 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1640 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1642 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1644 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1645 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1648 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1649 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1650 - added test for this (t0m)
1652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1653 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1654 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1656 - added test for this (t0m)
1659 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1660 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1661 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1664 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1665 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1667 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1669 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1670 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1672 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1673 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1674 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1677 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1680 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1681 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1682 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1683 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1687 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1688 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1689 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1693 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1694 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1695 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1698 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1702 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1703 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1704 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1706 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1708 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1709 created so that the process can be more easily
1710 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1714 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1715 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1718 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1721 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1722 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1725 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1726 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1729 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1730 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1733 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1736 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1739 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1740 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1744 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1745 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1747 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1748 ... this is not my day today ...
1750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1751 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1752 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1753 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1754 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1757 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1758 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1759 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1760 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1761 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1764 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1766 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1767 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1768 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1769 this is not ever something you want to do
1770 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1771 - added tests for this (stevan)
1774 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1776 - added test for this
1778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1779 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1780 - added tests for this (wreis)
1782 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1783 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1784 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1785 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1788 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1789 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1792 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1794 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1796 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1799 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1800 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1801 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1802 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1803 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1804 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1805 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1806 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 - added tests for this
1809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1810 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1811 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1812 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1814 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1817 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1818 - added tests for this (sartak)
1819 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1820 install_delegation method (Stevan)

1830 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1831 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1833 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1835 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1836 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1845 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1847 - added docs for this (TODO).
1848 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1849 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1850 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1868 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1869 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1870 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1873 - move the ClassName type check code to
1874 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1876 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1877 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1879 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1880 (early morning release engineering)--
1882 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1883 which was causing the indexer to choke
1885 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1886 (late night release engineering)--
1888 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1889 changes in this release
1891 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1892 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1893 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1895 * Moose::Meta::Class
1896 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1897 since it is called so often by &meta
1899 * Moose::Meta::Class
1901 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1902 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1905 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1906 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1907 method for immutablization to check if the
1908 destructor object even needs to be created
1911 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1912 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1913 - added more descriptive error message to help
1914 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1915 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1917 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1919 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1920 XS based functionality is now optional
1921 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1922 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1923 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1925 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1926 to take care of this, mostly we added
1927 support for the package_name and name
1928 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1929 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1930 support regexp matching of names
1931 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1932 - tests added for this
1933 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1934 is currently not supported in roles,
1935 but, ... patches welcome
1936 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1937 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1938 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1941 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1942 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1943 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1944 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1945 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1946 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1947 - added test for this
1949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1950 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1951 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1954 * Moose::Meta::Class
1955 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1959 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1961 - added tests for this
1962 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1963 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1965 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1966 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1967 themselves parameterizable types
1969 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1970 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1971 called by the inlined immutable
1973 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1975 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1976 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1977 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1978 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1981 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1985 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1986 causing occasional cpantester failures

1988 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1990 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1992 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1993 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1996 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1997 ->body when looping through the
1998 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2000 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2001 eating the $@ values, and so not
2002 working correctly, it still kind of
2003 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2004 - added tests for this
2006 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2007 - added new recipe for immutable
2008 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2010 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2011 - added new recipe for builder and
2012 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2014 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2015 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2016 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2019 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2021 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2022 since Module::Install has done that.
2024 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2026 drink more coffee before
2027 doing release engineering
2029 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2030 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2031 modules. This fixes that.
2033 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2034 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2035 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2037 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2038 since we have tests which need the C3
2041 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2042 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2044 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2045 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2047 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2048 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2049 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2050 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2056 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2057 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2059 * Moose::Meta::Class
2060 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2061 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2063 - added test for this
2065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2066 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2067 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2068 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2069 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2070 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

2144 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2146 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2437 - added tests for this
2440 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2441 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2483 - fixed how required methods are handled
2484 when they encounter overriden or modified
2485 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2486 - added tests for this
2488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2496 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2499 * Parameterized Types
2500 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2501 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2502 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2503 They can also be nested:
2504 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2505 And work with the type unions as well:
2506 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2508 * Better Framework Extendability
2509 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2510 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2511 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2512 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2515 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2516 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2517 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2518 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2741 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2742 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2743 functions to facilitate introspection.
2745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2746 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2747 to build the list of delegated methods
2748 correctly (and not override important
2749 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2751 - added tests and docs for this
2752 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2753 so that you can actually document your
2754 attributes and inspect them through the
2756 - added tests and docs for this
2758 * Moose::Meta::Class
2759 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2760 it will first look in for the class in the
2761 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2762 then default to just loading $name.
2763 - added tests and docs for this
2765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2766 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2767 - added test for this
2770 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2771 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2772 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2773 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2775 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2776 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2779 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2781 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2782 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2783 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2786 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2787 !! for this developer release to work !!
2789 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2790 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2791 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2792 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2793 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2794 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2795 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2796 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2797 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2798 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2799 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2801 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2802 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2803 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2804 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2807 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2809 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2810 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2811 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2813 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2815 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2816 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2819 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2820 called unless they actually need to be.
2821 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2822 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2823 DEMOLISH method present.
2825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2827 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2828 type constraint, which allows for a
2829 hand optimized version of the type
2830 constraint to be used when possible.
2831 - Any internally created type constraints
2832 now provide an optimized version as well.
2834 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2836 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2837 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2838 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2841 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2842 your class namespace of these exported
2845 * Moose::Meta::Class
2846 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2847 comes up during global destruction
2849 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2853 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2857 - changed how we do type checks so that
2858 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2861 - moved accessor generation methods to
2862 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2863 conform to the API changes from
2866 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2867 - changed how constraints are compiled
2868 so that we do less recursion and more
2869 iteration. This makes the type check
2871 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2875 - created this from methods formerly found in
2876 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2878 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2879 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2882 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2884 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2885 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2887 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2890 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2891 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2892 - added tests for this
2893 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2894 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2895 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2896 - removed tests for this
2898 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2900 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2901 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2902 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2905 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2906 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2907 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2909 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2910 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2911 comments for more info.
2914 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2915 asked questions and common problems
2917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2918 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2919 - added tests for this
2921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2922 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2923 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2924 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2926 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2927 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2930 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2931 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2932 is much appreciated :)
2933 - added tests for this
2935 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2936 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2937 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2941 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2943 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2945 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2946 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2950 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2951 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2952 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2954 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2956 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2959 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2960 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2961 keywords because we need to localize them.
2962 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2964 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2965 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2966 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2969 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2973 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2974 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2977 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2978 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2979 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2981 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2983 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2984 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2985 bottom of your class file.
2988 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2991 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2993 - improved error message when loading modules so
2994 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2995 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2996 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2999 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3000 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3001 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3003 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3004 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3006 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3007 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3008 turn them on for you.
3009 - added tests for this
3010 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3011 in Moose::Meta::Class
3014 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3015 automatically turned on for you.

3038 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3039 - This release works in combination with
3040 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3041 release because it uses the a new
3042 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3043 complete Role implementation. It has
3044 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3045 the the previous CPAN version. This
3046 release also lacks good updated docs,
3047 the official release will have updated docs.
3050 - refactored the keyword exports
3051 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3052 accepts more than one Role at a time
3053 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3054 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3057 - refactored the keyword exports
3058 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3059 accepts more than one Role at a time
3061 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3062 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3063 string enumerations which can be used as
3065 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3068 - more careful checking of params to new()
3071 - much work done on the role composition
3072 - many new tests for conflict detection
3073 and composition edge cases
3074 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3075 looking at the tests
3077 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3078 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3079 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3081 * Moose::Meta::Class
3082 - some small changes to support the new
3084 - some small additions to support Roles
3086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3087 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3089 - some small changes to support the new
3091 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3092 with the 'handles' option
3093 - added several tests for this
3094 - no docs for this yet
3096 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3098 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3099 thanks to chansen for this commit
3100 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3101 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3102 on a per-attribute basis
3103 - added tests for this
3104 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3105 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3106 experimental feature and probably not finished

3171 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3173 - added test for this
3176 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
