1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
7 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
8 * Moose::Object now has stubs for BUILD and DEMOLISH, so they can be safely
9 wrapped in roles without needing to provide your own stubs. (doy)
11 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
15 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
19 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
20 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
22 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
23 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
24 - Moose::Util::does_role
25 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
26 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
27 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
29 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
33 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
34 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
35 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
38 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
42 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
43 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
46 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
50 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
51 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
54 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
58 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
60 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
63 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
64 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
65 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
67 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
68 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
69 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
72 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
73 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
75 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
76 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
77 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
79 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
81 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
82 substr et al, again. (sorear)
84 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
86 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
89 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
90 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
92 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
93 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
95 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
96 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
97 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
98 dependencies installed.
100 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
101 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
104 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
106 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
110 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
113 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
114 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
117 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
118 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
120 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
121 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
124 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
125 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
126 others. (nothingmuch)
128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
129 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
130 remove_accessors. (doy)
132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
133 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
134 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
137 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
139 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
141 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
142 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
145 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
146 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
149 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
151 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
153 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
154 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
158 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
159 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
160 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
161 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
163 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
166 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
167 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
168 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
169 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
172 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
173 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
174 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
175 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
176 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
178 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
179 which were not receiving the value of
180 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
181 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
182 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
183 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
187 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
188 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
189 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
190 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
191 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
194 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
195 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
196 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
197 - added tests for this (Stevan)
200 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
201 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
202 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
205 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
207 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
210 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
211 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
214 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
215 class if you pass it options for
216 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
217 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
218 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
219 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
220 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
221 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
222 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
223 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
224 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
227 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
228 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
229 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
230 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
233 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
235 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
236 existing delegation API. (hdp)
238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
239 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
240 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
241 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
242 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
243 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
246 * Moose::Error::Croak
247 * Moose::Error::Confess
248 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
249 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
252 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
255 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
256 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
257 installing a broken sub. (doy)
260 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
263 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
264 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
265 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
267 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
268 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
269 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
270 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
271 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
274 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
277 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
279 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
280 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
283 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
284 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
288 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
289 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
292 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
293 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
294 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
295 using it for new code!
297 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
298 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
299 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
300 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
302 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
303 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
304 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
305 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
306 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
307 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
308 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
309 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
312 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
315 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
316 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
320 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
323 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
324 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
328 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
329 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
332 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
333 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
336 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
337 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
340 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
342 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
343 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
344 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
345 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
347 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
349 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
353 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
354 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
356 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
357 associated_methods. (hdp)
358 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
359 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
360 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
361 misspelled) arguments
363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
364 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
365 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
366 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
369 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
370 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
372 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
375 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
376 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
377 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
380 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
381 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
383 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
385 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
386 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
388 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
389 * Moose::Manual::Types
390 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
391 string parsing rathole (mst)
393 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
394 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
395 using plain objects instead
397 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
398 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
401 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
403 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
404 three times today (perigrin)
405 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
406 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
409 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
410 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
411 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
414 - A role's required methods are now represented by
415 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
416 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
417 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
418 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
419 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
422 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
423 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
424 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
425 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
428 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
430 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
433 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
435 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
438 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
439 during global destruction. This method has been made more
440 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
444 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
445 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
448 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
449 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
451 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
452 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
453 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
456 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
458 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
459 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
462 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
466 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
467 methods during global destruction (doy)
470 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
471 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
475 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
476 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
479 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
480 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
483 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
484 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
486 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
488 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
492 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
493 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
494 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
497 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
498 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
499 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
502 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
504 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
506 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
510 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
511 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
512 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
514 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
515 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
516 of the Moose core (Sartak)
519 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
522 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
523 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
524 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
528 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
529 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
532 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
534 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
537 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
538 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
541 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
542 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
545 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
546 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
549 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
552 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
555 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
559 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
561 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
562 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
565 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
566 * More deprecations and renamings
567 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
568 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
569 when an object is constructed)
572 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
573 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
574 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
577 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
578 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
579 feature, and it works again.
582 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
584 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
586 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
587 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
588 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
591 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
592 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
593 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
594 message. Test provided by perigrin.
596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
597 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
598 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
599 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
600 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
603 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
604 metaclass object. (hdp)
606 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
607 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
608 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
609 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
610 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
611 point out this fact. (hdp)
613 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
614 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
616 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
617 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
621 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
622 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
623 called during instance construction were passed the
624 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
625 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
627 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
628 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
631 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
632 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
633 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
636 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
637 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
638 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
639 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
640 them, but they are not for "public" use.
643 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
645 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
646 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
647 when an object is constructed)
648 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
650 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
651 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
652 when an object is constructed)
653 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
654 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
655 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
658 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
660 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
661 * No changes from 0.72_01.
663 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
665 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
666 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
667 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
669 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
670 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
671 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
673 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
675 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
676 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
678 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
679 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
682 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
683 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
686 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
687 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
688 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
691 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
695 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
696 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
697 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
700 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
703 * Moose::Manual::Delta
704 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
705 with recommended workarounds.
707 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
708 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
710 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
711 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
712 (yes, spelled like that).
714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
715 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
718 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
719 changes in latest Class::MOP.
721 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
723 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
724 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
725 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
726 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
727 instead. Reported by doy.
729 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
731 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
732 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
734 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
735 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
736 message) is now deprecated.
737 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
738 often got it wrong. For example:
740 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
742 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
746 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
747 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
748 bite you in weird cases.
750 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
751 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
752 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
755 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
756 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
760 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
763 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
764 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
767 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
768 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
771 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
774 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
775 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
776 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
777 - added tests for this (stevan)
779 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
780 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
781 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
782 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
786 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
787 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
788 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
789 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
791 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
792 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
793 - added tests for this (rafl)
795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
796 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
797 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
798 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
802 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
803 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
806 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
807 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
808 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
810 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
812 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
813 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
816 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
817 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
818 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
819 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
822 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
823 error message did not specify the attribute name
826 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
828 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
830 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
831 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
832 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
835 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
838 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
840 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
841 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
842 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
843 of fixes and formatting improvements.
845 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
847 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
848 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
849 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
850 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
853 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
854 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
857 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
858 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
859 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
860 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
863 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
864 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
865 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
866 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
869 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
870 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
871 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
872 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
873 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
875 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
876 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
877 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
878 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
879 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
880 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
882 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
883 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
885 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
886 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
887 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
888 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
891 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
894 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
898 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
899 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
901 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
902 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
903 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
906 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
908 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
910 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
911 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
912 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
913 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
916 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
919 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
920 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
922 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
924 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
927 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
928 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
929 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
930 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
931 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
932 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
935 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
936 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
937 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
938 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
939 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
940 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
941 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
942 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
943 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
945 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
947 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
948 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
951 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
952 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
953 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
955 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
956 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
957 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
958 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
959 same methods for a single role did not work
960 right (worked just fine with multiple
962 - added test for this (stevan)
964 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
965 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
966 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
969 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
970 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
971 - added test for this (t0m)
974 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
975 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
976 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
979 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
980 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
981 - added test for this (t0m)
983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
984 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
985 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
986 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
987 - added test for this (perigrin)
990 - create method for constructing a role
992 - added test for this (Sartak)
993 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
994 - added test for this (Sartak)
997 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
999 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1000 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1001 methods is useful (Sartak)
1003 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1005 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1008 * Moose::Meta::Class
1009 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1010 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1011 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1012 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1013 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1014 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1017 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1018 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1021 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1022 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1023 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1024 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1028 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1029 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1030 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1033 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1034 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1035 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1036 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1037 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1038 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1042 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1043 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1044 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1045 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1046 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1047 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1048 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1049 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1050 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1051 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1054 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1057 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1058 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1059 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1060 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1061 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1063 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1065 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1066 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1067 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1070 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1073 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1074 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1075 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1078 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1079 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1081 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1083 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1084 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Class
1087 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1088 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1089 a required attribute
1091 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1093 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1094 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1097 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1100 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1101 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1102 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1103 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1104 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1105 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1106 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1108 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1109 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1110 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1112 * Roles and role application
1113 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1114 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1115 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1116 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1117 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1119 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1120 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1124 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1125 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1126 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1127 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1130 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1131 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1132 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1133 changes in the Moose internals.
1135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1137 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1140 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1141 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1142 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1143 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1145 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1146 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1147 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1148 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1151 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1152 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1153 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1154 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1155 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1156 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1157 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1158 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1159 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1160 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1161 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1162 constraint implementations.
1164 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1168 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1169 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1170 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1171 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1172 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1173 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 - added tests for this (rafl)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Class
1177 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1178 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1179 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1180 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1181 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1182 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1183 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1187 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1188 - added tests for this (thepler)
1190 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1191 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1192 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1193 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1196 * Moose::Meta::Class
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1198 * Moose::Meta::Method
1201 * Moose::Error::Default
1202 * Moose::Error::Croak
1203 * Moose::Error::Confess
1204 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1205 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1206 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1207 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1208 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1209 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1211 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1213 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1214 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1216 * Moose::Unsweetened
1217 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1218 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1219 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1222 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1223 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1224 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1225 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1228 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1229 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1231 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1232 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1233 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1234 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1237 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1239 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1240 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1242 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1245 - Various bug fixes.
1247 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1248 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1250 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1252 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1253 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1255 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1256 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1257 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1260 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1261 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1265 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1268 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1269 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1270 dependency to 0.64_07.
1272 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1273 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1274 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1277 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1281 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1282 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1283 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1284 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1285 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1288 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1290 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1293 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1297 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1298 method when that method was provided by another role being
1299 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1300 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1302 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1304 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1305 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1308 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1309 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1310 - added test for this (t0m)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1313 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1314 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1316 - added test for this (t0m)
1319 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1320 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1321 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1324 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1325 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1327 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1329 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1330 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1333 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1334 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1337 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1341 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1342 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1343 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1347 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1348 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to

1407 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1408 ... this is not my day today ...
1410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1411 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1412 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1413 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1414 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1417 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1418 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1419 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1420 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1421 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1424 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1426 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1427 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1459 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1460 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1461 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1462 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1463 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1464 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1465 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1466 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1467 - added tests for this
1469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1470 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1580 XS based functionality is now optional
1581 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1582 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1583 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2041 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2043 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2045 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2046 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2047 - added tests for this
2048 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2049 a single type at different times instead of
2050 having to do it all in one place
2051 - added tests for this
2053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2054 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2055 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2058 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2059 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2060 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2061 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2062 new features above (although you cannot add
2063 more type coercions for Union types)
2065 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2067 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2068 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2069 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2070 - added tests for this.
2071 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2072 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2073 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2074 - added tests for this
2075 - added docs for this
2077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2078 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2079 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2080 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2081 instead it will just return undef.
2082 - added docs for this
2084 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2096 with work correctly.
2097 - added tests for this
2100 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2101 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2104 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2105 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2106 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2108 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2110 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)

2117 builder method is missing (groditi)
2119 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2120 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2122 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2139 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2140 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2143 - fixed how required methods are handled
2144 when they encounter overriden or modified
2145 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2146 - added tests for this
2148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2149 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2150 the | always creates a union and so is
2151 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2152 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2154 - added more tests for this
2156 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2159 * Parameterized Types
2160 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2161 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2162 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2163 They can also be nested:
2164 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2165 And work with the type unions as well:
2166 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2168 * Better Framework Extendability
2169 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2170 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2171 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2172 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2175 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2176 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2177 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2178 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2181 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2183 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2184 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2187 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2214 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2215 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2217 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2218 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2219 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2220 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2222 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2223 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2224 - updated the accompanying test as well
2226 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2227 +++ with new features added as well +++
2229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2230 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2231 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2232 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2233 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2235 - added tests for this
2237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2238 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2239 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2240 can track where the type constraints are created
2242 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2243 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2244 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2246 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2247 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2248 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2249 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2263 (thanks to shlomif).
2265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2266 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2267 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2268 - added tests for this
2269 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2271 - added tests for this
2273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2304 - This contains Moose specific test functions
2305 - added tests for these
2307 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2308 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2311 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2312 to the 'handles' option.
2313 - added tests and docs for this
2314 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2315 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2316 (but not changing the handles option)
2317 - added tests and docs for this
2320 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2321 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2322 - adjusted tests for this
2324 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2326 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2332 the other side (perigrin)
2334 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2336 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2337 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2338 prototypes for functions
2339 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2340 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2350 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2353 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2354 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2355 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2356 - added tests for this
2358 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2360 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2373 where not handled correctly in roles
2374 - added tests for this
2376 * Moose::Meta::Class
2377 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2378 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2379 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2381 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2382 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2384 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2385 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2386 so this release is just to fix that.
2389 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2390 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2391 (thanks to konobi for this)
2392 - added tests and docs
2394 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2395 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2398 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2399 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2400 - added tests for this

2402 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2403 functions to facilitate introspection.
2405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2406 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2407 to build the list of delegated methods
2408 correctly (and not override important
2409 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2411 - added tests and docs for this
2412 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2413 so that you can actually document your
2414 attributes and inspect them through the
2416 - added tests and docs for this
2418 * Moose::Meta::Class
2419 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2420 it will first look in for the class in the
2421 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2422 then default to just loading $name.
2423 - added tests and docs for this
2425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2426 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2427 - added test for this
2430 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2431 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2432 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2433 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2435 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2436 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2439 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2441 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2442 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2443 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2446 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2447 !! for this developer release to work !!
2449 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2450 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2451 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2452 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2453 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2454 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2455 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2456 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2457 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2458 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2459 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2461 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2462 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2463 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2464 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2467 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2469 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2470 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2471 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2473 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2475 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2476 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2479 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2480 called unless they actually need to be.
2481 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2482 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2483 DEMOLISH method present.
2485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2487 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2488 type constraint, which allows for a
2489 hand optimized version of the type
2490 constraint to be used when possible.
2491 - Any internally created type constraints
2492 now provide an optimized version as well.
2494 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2496 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2497 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2498 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2500 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2501 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2502 your class namespace of these exported
2505 * Moose::Meta::Class
2506 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2507 comes up during global destruction
2509 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2513 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2517 - changed how we do type checks so that
2518 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2521 - moved accessor generation methods to
2522 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2523 conform to the API changes from
2526 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2527 - changed how constraints are compiled
2528 so that we do less recursion and more
2529 iteration. This makes the type check
2531 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2535 - created this from methods formerly found in
2536 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2538 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2539 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2542 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2544 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2545 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2547 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2550 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2551 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2552 - added tests for this
2553 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2554 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2555 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2556 - removed tests for this
2558 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2560 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2561 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2562 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2565 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2566 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2567 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2569 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2570 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2571 comments for more info.
2574 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2575 asked questions and common problems
2577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2578 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2579 - added tests for this
2581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2582 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2583 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2584 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2586 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2587 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2590 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2591 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2592 is much appreciated :)
2593 - added tests for this
2595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2596 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2597 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2601 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2603 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2605 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2606 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2610 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2611 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2612 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2614 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2616 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2619 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2620 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2621 keywords because we need to localize them.
2622 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2624 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2625 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2626 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2629 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2633 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2634 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2637 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2638 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2639 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2641 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2643 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2644 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2645 bottom of your class file.
2648 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2651 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2653 - improved error message when loading modules so
2654 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2655 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2656 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2659 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2660 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2661 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2663 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2664 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2666 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2667 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2668 turn them on for you.
2669 - added tests for this
2670 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2671 in Moose::Meta::Class
2674 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2675 automatically turned on for you.
2676 - added tests for this
2679 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2680 - added tests for this
2681 - added some more edge case tests

2684 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2686 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2690 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2694 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2697 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2698 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2699 - This release works in combination with
2700 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2701 release because it uses the a new
2702 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2703 complete Role implementation. It has
2704 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2705 the the previous CPAN version. This
2706 release also lacks good updated docs,
2707 the official release will have updated docs.
2710 - refactored the keyword exports
2711 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2712 accepts more than one Role at a time
2713 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2714 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2717 - refactored the keyword exports
2718 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2719 accepts more than one Role at a time
2721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2722 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2723 string enumerations which can be used as
2725 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2728 - more careful checking of params to new()
2731 - much work done on the role composition
2732 - many new tests for conflict detection
2733 and composition edge cases
2734 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2735 looking at the tests
2737 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2738 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2739 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2758 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2759 thanks to chansen for this commit
2760 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
