1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Include changes from 2.0010.
10 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
14 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
15 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
19 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
20 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
21 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
26 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
28 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
32 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
33 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
35 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
39 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
41 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
45 * Various packaging issues.
47 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
51 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
52 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
57 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
58 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
59 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
63 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
64 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
65 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
67 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
71 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
72 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
74 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
78 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
79 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
81 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
84 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
85 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
89 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
90 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
92 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
96 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
97 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
101 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
103 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
107 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
109 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
113 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
114 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
116 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
120 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
122 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
126 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
128 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
129 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
131 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
135 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
136 skips every other role. (rjbs)
138 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
139 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
140 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
141 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
142 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
144 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
148 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
149 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
150 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
153 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
158 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
160 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
161 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
163 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
167 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
168 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
169 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
173 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
174 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
176 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
177 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
179 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
180 environments. (doy, mateu)
182 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
186 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
187 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
188 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
189 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
193 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
194 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
196 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
200 * Update conflicts list.
203 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
207 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
208 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
209 details. (Dave Rolsky)
211 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
212 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
213 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
214 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
215 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
219 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
220 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
221 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
222 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
223 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
226 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
230 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
231 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
233 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
236 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
240 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
241 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
242 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
243 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
245 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
246 immutable classes). (mo)
248 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
249 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
250 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
252 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
256 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
258 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
260 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
264 * Fix some indexing issues.
266 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
268 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
272 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
273 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
274 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
275 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
276 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
278 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
279 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
284 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
285 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
286 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
287 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
289 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
290 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
291 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
295 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
296 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
299 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
303 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
304 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
308 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
312 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
313 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
314 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
315 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
318 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
322 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
325 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
329 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
330 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
331 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
334 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
338 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
339 policy. (Chris Prather)
341 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
342 on this new support policy. (doy)
346 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
347 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
348 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
350 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
351 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
353 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
357 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
358 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
359 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
360 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
363 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
367 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
368 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
371 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
375 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
376 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
378 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
379 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
383 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
384 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
385 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
386 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
387 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
388 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
390 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
391 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
393 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
394 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
395 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
396 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
398 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
399 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
401 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
406 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
407 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
409 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
413 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
414 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
415 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
417 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
421 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
422 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
423 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
425 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
426 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
429 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
430 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
433 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
434 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
435 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
437 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
438 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
443 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
444 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
445 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
446 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
448 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
449 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
451 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
452 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
454 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
455 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
456 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
457 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
459 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
460 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
461 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
464 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
465 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
466 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
467 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
469 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
470 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
473 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
474 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
475 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
477 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
481 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
482 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
483 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
485 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
486 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
487 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
490 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
491 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
492 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
494 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
495 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
496 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
498 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
499 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
503 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
504 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
505 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
507 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
508 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
509 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
510 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
512 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
516 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
517 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
518 value is a reference.
520 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
521 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
523 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
527 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
528 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
529 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
531 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
535 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
536 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
540 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
541 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
542 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
545 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
546 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
548 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
552 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
554 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
558 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
560 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
561 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
566 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
567 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
569 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
570 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
571 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
572 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
573 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
575 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
576 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
577 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
578 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
580 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
584 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
585 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
590 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
592 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
594 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
599 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
601 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
605 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
606 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
607 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
609 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
610 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
611 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
612 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
614 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
615 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
616 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
617 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
618 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
621 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
626 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
627 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
628 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
629 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
630 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
633 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
637 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
640 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
641 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
645 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
646 function (not just method). (doy)
650 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
651 and aren't easily installable/testable.
653 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
657 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
658 to be overridden more easily (doy).
660 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
664 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
665 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
667 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
671 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
672 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
673 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
675 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
679 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
680 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
681 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
683 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
684 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
688 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
689 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
691 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
692 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
696 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
697 is applied to a class (t0m).
699 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
700 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
702 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
705 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
706 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
708 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
709 be much more robust. (doy)
711 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
713 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
716 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
720 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
721 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
723 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
727 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
728 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
730 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
733 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
734 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
735 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
737 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
738 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
739 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
742 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
744 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
748 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
749 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
753 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
755 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
759 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
760 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
764 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
765 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
769 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
771 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
775 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
776 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
780 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
781 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
785 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
786 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
788 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
792 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
793 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
794 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
797 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
801 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
802 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
803 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
804 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
806 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
810 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
811 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
812 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
816 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
819 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
824 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
825 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
829 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
830 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
832 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
833 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
834 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
835 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
837 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
841 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
845 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
846 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
848 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
849 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
850 - Moose::Util::does_role
851 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
852 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
853 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
855 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
859 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
860 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
861 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
864 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
868 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
869 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
872 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
876 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
877 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
880 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
884 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
886 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
887 class. (Dave Rolsky).
889 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
890 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
891 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
893 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
894 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
895 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
898 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
899 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
901 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
902 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
903 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
905 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
907 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
908 substr et al, again. (sorear)
910 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
912 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
915 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
916 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
918 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
919 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
921 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
922 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
923 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
924 dependencies installed.
926 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
927 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
930 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
932 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
936 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
938 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
939 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
940 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
943 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
944 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
946 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
947 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
950 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
951 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
952 others. (nothingmuch)
954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
955 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
956 remove_accessors. (doy)
958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
959 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
960 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
963 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
965 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
966 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
967 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
968 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
971 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
972 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
975 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
977 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
979 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
980 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
984 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
985 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
986 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
987 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
989 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
992 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
993 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
994 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
995 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
998 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
999 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1000 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1001 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1002 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1004 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1005 which were not receiving the value of
1006 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1007 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1008 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1009 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1013 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1014 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1015 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1016 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1017 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1021 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1022 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1023 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1025 * Moose::Meta::Class
1026 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1027 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1028 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1031 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1033 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1036 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1037 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1040 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1041 class if you pass it options for
1042 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1043 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1044 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1045 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1046 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1047 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1048 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1049 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1050 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1052 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1053 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1054 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1055 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1056 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1059 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1061 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1062 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1065 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1066 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1067 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1068 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1069 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1072 * Moose::Error::Croak
1073 * Moose::Error::Confess
1074 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1075 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1078 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1081 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1082 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1083 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1085 * Moose::Meta::Class
1086 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1089 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1090 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1091 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1093 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1094 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1095 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1096 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1097 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1100 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1103 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1105 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1106 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1109 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1110 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1114 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1115 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1118 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1119 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1120 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1121 using it for new code!
1123 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1124 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1125 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1126 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1128 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1129 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1130 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1131 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1132 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1133 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1134 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1135 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1138 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1141 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1142 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1145 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1146 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1148 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1149 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1150 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1152 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1154 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1155 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1157 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1158 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1159 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1162 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1163 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1166 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1168 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1169 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1170 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1171 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1173 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1175 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1179 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1180 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1182 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1183 associated_methods. (hdp)
1184 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1185 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1186 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1187 misspelled) arguments
1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1191 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1192 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1196 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1198 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1202 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1203 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1206 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1207 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1209 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1210 * Moose::Meta::Class
1211 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1212 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1214 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1215 * Moose::Manual::Types
1216 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1217 string parsing rathole (mst)
1219 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1220 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1221 using plain objects instead
1223 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1224 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1225 that's what we need.
1227 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1228 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1229 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1230 three times today (perigrin)
1231 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1232 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1235 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1236 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1237 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1240 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1241 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1242 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1243 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1244 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1245 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1248 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1249 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1250 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1251 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1254 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1256 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1259 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1261 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1264 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1265 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1266 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1270 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1271 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1274 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1275 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1277 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1278 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1279 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1281 * Moose::Unsweetened
1282 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1284 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1285 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1288 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1292 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1293 methods during global destruction (doy)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Class
1296 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1297 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1298 consumption (Sartak)
1300 * Moose::Meta::Class
1301 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1302 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1305 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1306 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1309 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1310 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1312 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1314 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1318 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1319 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1320 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1324 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1325 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1328 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1330 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1331 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1332 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1336 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1337 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1338 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1340 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1341 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1342 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1345 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1348 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1349 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1350 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1354 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1355 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Class
1358 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1360 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1362 * Moose::Meta::Class
1363 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1364 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1367 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1368 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1371 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1372 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1375 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1378 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1380 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1381 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1384 * Moose::Meta::Class
1385 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1388 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1391 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1392 * More deprecations and renamings
1393 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1394 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1395 when an object is constructed)
1398 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1399 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1400 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1403 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1404 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1405 feature, and it works again.
1408 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1410 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1412 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1413 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1414 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1417 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1418 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1419 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1420 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1423 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1424 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1425 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1426 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1429 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1430 metaclass object. (hdp)
1432 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1433 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1434 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1435 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1436 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1437 point out this fact. (hdp)
1439 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1440 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1442 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1443 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1445 * Moose::Meta::Class
1446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1447 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1448 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1449 called during instance construction were passed the
1450 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1451 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1453 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1454 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1457 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1458 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1459 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1462 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1463 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1464 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1465 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1466 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1468 - Moose::Meta::Class
1469 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1471 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1472 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1473 when an object is constructed)
1474 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1476 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1477 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1478 when an object is constructed)
1479 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1480 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1481 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1484 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1486 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1487 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1489 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1491 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1492 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1493 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1495 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1496 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1497 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1499 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1501 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1502 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1504 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1505 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1508 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1509 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1512 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1513 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1514 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1517 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1521 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1522 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1523 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1526 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1529 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1530 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1531 with recommended workarounds.
1533 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1534 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1537 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1538 (yes, spelled like that).
1540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1541 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1543 * Moose::Meta::Class
1544 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1545 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1547 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1550 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1551 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1552 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1553 instead. Reported by doy.
1555 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1557 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1558 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1560 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1561 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1562 message) is now deprecated.
1563 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1564 often got it wrong. For example:
1566 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1568 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1572 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1573 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1574 bite you in weird cases.
1576 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1577 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1578 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1579 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1582 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1586 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1589 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1590 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1593 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1594 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1597 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1600 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1602 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1603 - added tests for this (stevan)
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1606 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1607 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1608 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1612 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1613 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1614 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1615 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1617 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1618 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1619 - added tests for this (rafl)
1621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1622 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1623 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1624 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1628 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1629 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1632 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1633 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1634 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1638 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1639 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1641 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1642 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1643 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1644 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1645 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1648 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1649 error message did not specify the attribute name
1652 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1654 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1656 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1657 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1658 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1661 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1664 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1666 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1667 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1668 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1669 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1671 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1673 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1674 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1675 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1676 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1679 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1680 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1682 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1683 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1684 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1685 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1686 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1689 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1690 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1691 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1692 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1695 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1696 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1697 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1698 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1699 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1701 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1702 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1703 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1704 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1705 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1706 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1709 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1711 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1712 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1713 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1714 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1717 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1720 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1724 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1725 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1727 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1728 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1729 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1730 guts. (nothingmuch).
1732 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1733 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1734 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1736 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1737 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1738 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1739 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1741 * Moose::Meta::Class
1742 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1745 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1746 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1748 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1749 * Moose::Unsweetened
1750 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1753 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1754 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1755 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1756 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1757 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1758 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1761 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1762 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1763 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1764 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1765 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1766 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1767 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1768 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1769 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1773 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1774 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1777 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1778 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1779 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1782 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1783 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1784 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1785 same methods for a single role did not work
1786 right (worked just fine with multiple
1788 - added test for this (stevan)
1790 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1791 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1792 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1795 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1796 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1797 - added test for this (t0m)
1800 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1801 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1802 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1805 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1806 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1807 - added test for this (t0m)
1809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1810 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1811 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1812 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1813 - added test for this (perigrin)
1816 - create method for constructing a role
1817 dynamically (Sartak)
1818 - added test for this (Sartak)
1819 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1820 - added test for this (Sartak)
1823 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1825 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1826 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1827 methods is useful (Sartak)
1829 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1831 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1834 * Moose::Meta::Class
1835 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1836 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1837 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1838 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1839 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1843 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1844 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1847 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1848 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1849 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1850 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1852 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1854 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1855 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1856 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1859 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1860 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1861 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1862 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1863 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1864 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1867 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1868 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1869 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1870 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1871 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1872 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1873 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1874 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1875 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1876 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1877 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1879 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1880 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1884 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1885 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1886 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1887 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1889 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1891 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1892 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1893 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1896 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1899 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1900 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1901 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1905 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1907 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1909 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1910 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1912 * Moose::Meta::Class
1913 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1914 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1915 a required attribute
1917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1919 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1920 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1923 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1926 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1927 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1928 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1929 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1930 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1931 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1932 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1935 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1936 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1938 * Roles and role application
1939 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1940 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1941 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1942 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1943 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1945 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1946 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1950 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1951 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1952 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1953 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1956 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1957 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1958 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1959 changes in the Moose internals.
1961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1963 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1966 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1967 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1968 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1969 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1971 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1972 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1973 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1974 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1977 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1978 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1979 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1980 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1981 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1982 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1983 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1984 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1985 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1986 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1987 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1988 constraint implementations.
1990 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1994 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1995 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1996 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1997 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1998 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1999 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 - added tests for this (rafl)
2002 * Moose::Meta::Class
2003 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2004 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2005 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2006 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2007 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2008 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2009 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2010 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2013 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2014 - added tests for this (thepler)
2016 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2017 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2018 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2019 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2022 * Moose::Meta::Class
2023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2024 * Moose::Meta::Method
2027 * Moose::Error::Default
2028 * Moose::Error::Croak
2029 * Moose::Error::Confess
2030 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2031 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2032 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2033 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2034 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2035 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2037 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2039 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2040 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2042 * Moose::Unsweetened
2043 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2044 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2045 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2048 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2049 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2050 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2051 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2054 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2055 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2057 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2058 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2059 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2060 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2063 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2065 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2066 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2068 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2071 - Various bug fixes.
2073 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2074 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

2109 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2110 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2111 - added docs & test for this (t0m)

2234 ... this is not my day today ...
2236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2237 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2238 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2239 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2240 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2243 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2244 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2245 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2285 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2286 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2287 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2288 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2289 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2290 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2291 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2292 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2293 - added tests for this
2295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2296 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2512 drink more coffee before
2513 doing release engineering

2768 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2770 * Moose::Meta::Class
2771 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2772 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2773 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2774 method in the first place ;)
2776 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2777 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2778 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2780 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2781 - (see the POD for details)
2783 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2784 - this release contains a major reworking and
2785 cleanup of the role system
2786 - 100% backwards compat.
2787 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2788 classes based on type of applicants
2789 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2790 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2791 used in this process
2792 - new Composite role metaclass
2793 - runtime application of roles to instances
2794 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2795 classes when applicable
2797 * <<New Role composition features>>
2798 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2800 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2801 still retain the original as well)

2804 - added this module (see above)
2806 * Moose::Meta::Class
2807 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2808 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct

2816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2817 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2818 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2819 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2820 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2823 - type constraint handling
2824 - error handling/messages
2825 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2828 - added this module to support the refactor
2829 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2832 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2833 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2837 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2839 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2840 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2841 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2843 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2863 - added tests for this
2865 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2866 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2867 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2869 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2871 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2872 they should inherit the parent's coercion

2875 a single type at different times instead of
2876 having to do it all in one place
2877 - added tests for this
2879 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2880 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2881 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2884 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2885 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2886 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2887 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2888 new features above (although you cannot add
2889 more type coercions for Union types)
2891 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2893 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2895 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2896 - added tests for this.
2897 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2898 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2899 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2900 - added tests for this
2901 - added docs for this
2903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2904 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2905 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2906 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2907 instead it will just return undef.
2908 - added docs for this

2922 with work correctly.
2923 - added tests for this
2926 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2927 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2930 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2931 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2932 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2934 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2966 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2969 - fixed how required methods are handled
2970 when they encounter overriden or modified
2971 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2972 - added tests for this
2974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2975 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2976 the | always creates a union and so is
2977 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2978 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2980 - added more tests for this
2982 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2985 * Parameterized Types
2986 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2987 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2988 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2989 They can also be nested:
2990 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2991 And work with the type unions as well:
2992 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2994 * Better Framework Extendability
2995 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2996 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2997 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2998 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3001 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3002 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3003 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3004 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3007 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3009 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3010 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
3013 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3045 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
3046 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
3048 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
3049 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

3053 +++ with new features added as well +++
3055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3059 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3061 - added tests for this
3063 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3069 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3070 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3072 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3073 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3074 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself

3089 (thanks to shlomif).
3091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3092 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3093 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

3142 (but not changing the handles option)
3143 - added tests and docs for this
3146 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3147 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3158 the other side (perigrin)
3160 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3162 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3163 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3164 prototypes for functions
3165 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3166 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3176 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3179 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3180 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3181 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3182 - added tests for this
3184 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3186 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3187 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3208 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3210 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3211 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3212 so this release is just to fix that.
3215 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3216 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3217 (thanks to konobi for this)
3218 - added tests and docs
3220 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3224 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3225 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3226 - added tests for this

3228 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3229 functions to facilitate introspection.
3231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3232 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3233 to build the list of delegated methods
3234 correctly (and not override important
3235 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3237 - added tests and docs for this
3238 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3239 so that you can actually document your
3240 attributes and inspect them through the
3242 - added tests and docs for this
3244 * Moose::Meta::Class
3245 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3246 it will first look in for the class in the
3247 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3248 then default to just loading $name.
3249 - added tests and docs for this
3251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3252 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3253 - added test for this
3256 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3257 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3258 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3259 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3261 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3262 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3265 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3267 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3268 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3269 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3272 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3273 !! for this developer release to work !!
3275 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3276 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3277 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3278 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3279 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3280 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3281 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3282 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3283 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3284 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3285 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3287 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3288 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3289 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3290 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3293 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3295 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3296 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3297 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3299 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3301 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3302 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3305 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3306 called unless they actually need to be.
3307 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3308 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3309 DEMOLISH method present.
3311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3313 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3314 type constraint, which allows for a
3315 hand optimized version of the type
3316 constraint to be used when possible.
3317 - Any internally created type constraints
3318 now provide an optimized version as well.
3320 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3322 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3323 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3324 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3327 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3328 your class namespace of these exported
3331 * Moose::Meta::Class
3332 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3333 comes up during global destruction
3335 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3339 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3343 - changed how we do type checks so that
3344 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3347 - moved accessor generation methods to
3348 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3349 conform to the API changes from
3352 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3353 - changed how constraints are compiled
3354 so that we do less recursion and more
3355 iteration. This makes the type check
3357 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3361 - created this from methods formerly found in
3362 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3364 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3365 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3368 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3370 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3371 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3373 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3375 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3376 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3377 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3378 - added tests for this
3379 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3380 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3381 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3382 - removed tests for this
3384 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3386 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3387 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3388 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3391 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3392 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3393 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3395 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3396 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3397 comments for more info.
3400 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3401 asked questions and common problems
3403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3404 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3405 - added tests for this
3407 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3408 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3409 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3410 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3412 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3413 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3416 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3417 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3418 is much appreciated :)
3419 - added tests for this
3421 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3422 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3423 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3427 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3429 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3431 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3432 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3436 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3437 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3438 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3440 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3442 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3445 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3446 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3447 keywords because we need to localize them.
3448 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3450 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3451 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3452 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3455 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3459 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3460 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3463 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3464 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3465 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3467 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3469 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3470 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3471 bottom of your class file.
3474 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3477 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3479 - improved error message when loading modules so
3480 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3481 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3482 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3485 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3486 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3487 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3490 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3492 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3493 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3494 turn them on for you.
3495 - added tests for this
3496 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3497 in Moose::Meta::Class
3500 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3501 automatically turned on for you.
3502 - added tests for this
3505 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3506 - added tests for this
3507 - added some more edge case tests

3523 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3524 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3525 - This release works in combination with
3526 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3527 release because it uses the a new
3528 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3529 complete Role implementation. It has
3530 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3531 the the previous CPAN version. This
3532 release also lacks good updated docs,
3533 the official release will have updated docs.
3536 - refactored the keyword exports
3537 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3538 accepts more than one Role at a time
3539 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3540 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3543 - refactored the keyword exports
3544 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3545 accepts more than one Role at a time
3547 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3548 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3549 string enumerations which can be used as
3551 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3554 - more careful checking of params to new()
3557 - much work done on the role composition
3558 - many new tests for conflict detection
3559 and composition edge cases
3560 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3561 looking at the tests
3563 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3564 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3565 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3567 * Moose::Meta::Class
3568 - some small changes to support the new
3570 - some small additions to support Roles
3572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3573 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3575 - some small changes to support the new
3577 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3578 with the 'handles' option
3579 - added several tests for this
3580 - no docs for this yet

3584 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3585 thanks to chansen for this commit
3586 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3587 to support custom attribute meta-classes

3591 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3592 experimental feature and probably not finished
