1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual
7 goal of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
8 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
10 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
11 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
12 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
13 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
14 message. Test provided by perigrin.
16 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
17 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
18 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's suggestion
19 to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
20 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
23 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
24 metaclass object. (hdp)
26 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
27 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
28 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
29 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
30 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and point out
33 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
34 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
37 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
38 - Attribute triggers now consistently do not receive the meta-attribute
39 object as an argument. Previously, triggers called during instance
40 construction were passed the meta-attribute, but triggers called by
41 normal accessors were not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne.
44 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
45 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
48 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
49 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
50 Moose::Policy::PBP; recommend MooseX::PBP instead. (hdp)
52 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
53 * No changes from 0.72_01.
55 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
57 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
58 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
59 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
61 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
62 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
63 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
65 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
67 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
68 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
70 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
71 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
74 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
75 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
78 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
79 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
80 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
82 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
83 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
87 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
88 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
89 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
91 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
92 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
95 * Moose::Manual::Delta
96 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
97 with recommended workarounds.
99 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
100 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
103 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
104 (yes, spelled like that).
106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
107 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
110 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
111 changes in latest Class::MOP.
113 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
115 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
116 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
117 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
118 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
119 instead. Reported by doy.
121 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
123 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
124 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
127 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
128 message) is now deprecated.
129 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
130 often got it wrong. For example:
132 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
134 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
138 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
139 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
140 bite you in weird cases.
142 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
143 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
144 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
147 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
148 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
152 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
155 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
156 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
159 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
160 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
163 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
166 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
168 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
169 - added tests for this (stevan)
171 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
172 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
173 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
174 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
178 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
179 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
180 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
181 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
183 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
184 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
185 - added tests for this (rafl)
187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
188 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
189 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
190 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
194 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
195 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
198 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
199 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
200 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
202 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
204 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
205 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
208 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
209 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
210 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
211 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
214 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
215 error message did not specify the attribute name
218 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
220 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
222 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
223 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
224 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
227 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
230 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
232 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
233 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
234 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
235 of fixes and formatting improvements.
237 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
239 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
240 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
241 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
242 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
245 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
246 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
249 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
250 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
251 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
252 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
255 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
256 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
257 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
258 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
261 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
262 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
263 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
264 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
265 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
267 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
268 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
269 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
270 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
271 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
272 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
275 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
277 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
278 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
279 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
280 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
282 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
283 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
286 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
290 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
291 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
293 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
294 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
295 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
298 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
300 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
303 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
304 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
305 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
308 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
311 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
312 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
314 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
316 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
319 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
320 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
321 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
322 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
323 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
324 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
327 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
328 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
329 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
330 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
331 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
332 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
333 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
334 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
335 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
337 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
339 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
340 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
343 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
344 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
345 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
347 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
348 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
349 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
350 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
351 same methods for a single role did not work
352 right (worked just fine with multiple
354 - added test for this (stevan)
356 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
357 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
358 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
361 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
362 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
363 - added test for this (t0m)
366 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
367 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
368 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
371 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
372 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
373 - added test for this (t0m)
375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
376 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
377 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
378 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
379 - added test for this (perigrin)
382 - create method for constructing a role
384 - added test for this (Sartak)
385 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
386 - added test for this (Sartak)
389 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
391 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
392 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
393 methods is useful (Sartak)
395 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
397 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
401 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
402 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
403 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
404 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
405 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
406 - added tests for this (jdv79)
409 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
410 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
412 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
413 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
414 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
415 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
416 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
418 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
420 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
421 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
422 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
425 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
426 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
427 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
428 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
429 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
430 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
433 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
434 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
435 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
436 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
437 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
438 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
439 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
440 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
441 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
442 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
443 future. (jnapiorkowski)
445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
446 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
449 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
450 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
451 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
452 type. (jnapiorkowski)
453 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
455 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
457 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
458 predicate, and link to more details sections in
459 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
462 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
465 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
466 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
467 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
470 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
471 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
473 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
475 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
476 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
479 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
480 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
485 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
486 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
489 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
492 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
493 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
494 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
495 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
496 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
497 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
498 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
500 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
501 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
502 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
504 * Roles and role application
505 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
506 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
507 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
508 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
509 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
511 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
512 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
515 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
516 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
517 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
518 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
519 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
522 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
523 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
524 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
525 changes in the Moose internals.
527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
529 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
532 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
533 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
534 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
535 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
538 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
539 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
540 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
543 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
544 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
545 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
546 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
547 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
548 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
549 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
550 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
551 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
552 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
553 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
554 constraint implementations.
556 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
560 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
561 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
562 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
563 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
564 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
565 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
566 - added tests for this (rafl)
569 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
570 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
571 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
572 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
573 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
574 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
575 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
576 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
579 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
580 - added tests for this (thepler)
582 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
583 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
584 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
585 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
590 * Moose::Meta::Method
593 * Moose::Error::Default
594 * Moose::Error::Croak
595 * Moose::Error::Confess
596 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
597 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
598 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
599 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
600 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
601 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
603 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
605 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
606 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
609 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
610 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
611 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
614 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
615 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
616 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
617 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
620 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
621 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
623 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
624 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
625 several major changes in this release of Moose.
626 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
629 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
631 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
632 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
634 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
639 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
640 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
642 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
644 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
645 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
646 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
647 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
648 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
649 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
651 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
652 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
653 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
655 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
656 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
657 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
660 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
661 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
662 dependency to 0.64_07.
664 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
665 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
666 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
669 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
673 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
674 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
675 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
676 coincidental exception. (t0m).
677 - added docs & test for this (t0m)

800 ... this is not my day today ...
802 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
803 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
804 clone_and_inherit options still works for
805 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
806 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
809 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
810 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
811 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

813 the changes that I didn't include in the last
816 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008

819 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

853 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
854 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
855 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
856 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
857 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
858 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)

1398 - refactored how these types are handled so they
1399 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
1403 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1405 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1406 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1407 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
1409 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
1410 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
1412 * Moose::Meta::Class
1414 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
1415 new method map caching in Class::MOP
1417 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1418 - allow subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef to
1419 be used as a container (sartak)
1420 - added tests for this
1421 - basic support for coercion to ArrayRef and
1422 HashRef for containers (sartak)
1423 - added tests for this
1425 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1426 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
1427 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
1428 types without having to explictly define them
1429 - added tests for this
1431 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1432 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
1433 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
1435 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
1436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1437 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
1438 they should inherit the parent's coercion
1439 - added tests for this
1440 - you can now define multiple coercions on
1441 a single type at different times instead of
1442 having to do it all in one place
1443 - added tests for this
1445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1446 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1447 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1450 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1451 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1452 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1453 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
1454 new features above (although you cannot add
1455 more type coercions for Union types)
1457 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1459 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
1460 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
1461 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
1462 - added tests for this.
1463 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
1464 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
1465 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
1466 - added tests for this
1467 - added docs for this
1469 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1470 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1471 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1472 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1473 instead it will just return undef.
1474 - added docs for this
1476 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

1488 with work correctly.
1489 - added tests for this
1492 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1493 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1496 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1497 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1498 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1500 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
1501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1531 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
1532 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1535 - fixed how required methods are handled
1536 when they encounter overriden or modified
1537 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1538 - added tests for this
1540 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1541 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1542 the | always creates a union and so is
1543 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1544 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1546 - added more tests for this
1548 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1551 * Parameterized Types
1552 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1553 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1554 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1555 They can also be nested:
1556 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1557 And work with the type unions as well:
1558 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1560 * Better Framework Extendability
1561 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1562 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1563 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1564 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1567 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1568 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1569 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1570 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1573 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1575 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1576 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1579 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
1580 set it to inline the accessors
1581 - fix import to allow Sub::Exporter like { into => }

1606 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
1607 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
1609 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
1610 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
1611 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
1612 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
1615 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
1616 - updated the accompanying test as well
1618 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
1619 +++ with new features added as well +++
1621 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1622 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
1623 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
1624 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
1625 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1627 - added tests for this
1629 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1630 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
1631 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
1632 can track where the type constraints are created
1634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1635 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1636 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1638 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1639 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1640 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1641 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1655 (thanks to shlomif).
1657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1658 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1659 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
1660 - added tests for this
1661 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
1663 - added tests for this
1665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1666 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

1703 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
1704 to the 'handles' option.
1705 - added tests and docs for this

1708 (but not changing the handles option)
1709 - added tests and docs for this
1712 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1713 so that required methods can come from superclasses
1714 - adjusted tests for this
1716 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1717 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1718 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1724 the other side (perigrin)
1726 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
1727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1728 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1729 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1730 prototypes for functions
1731 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1732 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1742 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1745 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1746 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1747 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1748 - added tests for this
1750 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1752 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1768 * Moose::Meta::Class
1769 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
1770 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
1771 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
1773 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1774 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1776 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1777 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1778 so this release is just to fix that.
1781 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1782 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1783 (thanks to konobi for this)
1784 - added tests and docs
1786 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
1787 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
1789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1790 - 'type' now supports messages as well
1791 thanks to phaylon for finding this
1792 - added tests for this
1793 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
1794 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1795 functions to facilitate introspection.
1797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1798 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1799 to build the list of delegated methods
1800 correctly (and not override important
1801 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1803 - added tests and docs for this
1804 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1805 so that you can actually document your
1806 attributes and inspect them through the
1808 - added tests and docs for this
1810 * Moose::Meta::Class
1811 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1812 it will first look in for the class in the
1813 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1814 then default to just loading $name.
1815 - added tests and docs for this
1817 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1818 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1819 - added test for this
1822 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1823 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1824 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1825 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1827 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1828 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1831 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1833 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1834 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1835 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1838 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1839 !! for this developer release to work !!
1841 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1842 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1843 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1844 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1845 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1846 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1847 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1848 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1849 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1850 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1851 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1853 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1854 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1855 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1856 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1859 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1861 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1862 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1863 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1865 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1867 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1868 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1871 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1872 called unless they actually need to be.
1873 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1874 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1875 DEMOLISH method present.
1877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1878 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1879 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1880 type constraint, which allows for a
1881 hand optimized version of the type
1882 constraint to be used when possible.
1883 - Any internally created type constraints
1884 now provide an optimized version as well.
1886 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1888 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1889 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1890 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1893 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1894 your class namespace of these exported
1897 * Moose::Meta::Class
1898 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1899 comes up during global destruction
1901 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1905 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1909 - changed how we do type checks so that
1910 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1913 - moved accessor generation methods to
1914 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1915 conform to the API changes from
1918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1919 - changed how constraints are compiled
1920 so that we do less recursion and more
1921 iteration. This makes the type check
1923 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1927 - created this from methods formerly found in
1928 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1930 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1931 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1934 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1937 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1939 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1941 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1942 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1943 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1944 - added tests for this
1945 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1946 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1947 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1948 - removed tests for this
1950 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1952 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1953 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1954 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1957 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1958 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1959 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1961 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1962 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1963 comments for more info.
1966 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1967 asked questions and common problems
1969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1970 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1971 - added tests for this
1973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1974 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1975 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1976 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1978 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1979 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1982 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1983 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1984 is much appreciated :)
1985 - added tests for this
1987 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1988 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1989 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1993 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1995 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1997 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1998 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2002 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2003 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2004 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2006 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2008 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2011 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2012 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2013 keywords because we need to localize them.
2014 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2016 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2017 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2018 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2021 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2024 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2025 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2026 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2029 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2030 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2031 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2033 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2035 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2036 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2037 bottom of your class file.
2040 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2043 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2045 - improved error message when loading modules so
2046 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2047 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2048 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2051 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2052 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2053 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2055 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2056 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2058 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2059 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2060 turn them on for you.
2061 - added tests for this

2090 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2091 - This release works in combination with
2092 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2093 release because it uses the a new
2094 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2095 complete Role implementation. It has
2096 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2097 the the previous CPAN version. This
2098 release also lacks good updated docs,
2099 the official release will have updated docs.
2102 - refactored the keyword exports
2103 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2104 accepts more than one Role at a time
2105 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2106 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2109 - refactored the keyword exports
2110 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2111 accepts more than one Role at a time
2113 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2114 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2115 string enumerations which can be used as
2117 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2120 - more careful checking of params to new()
2123 - much work done on the role composition
2124 - many new tests for conflict detection
2125 and composition edge cases
2126 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2127 looking at the tests
2129 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2130 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2131 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2133 * Moose::Meta::Class
2134 - some small changes to support the new
2136 - some small additions to support Roles
2138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2139 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2141 - some small changes to support the new
2143 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2144 with the 'handles' option
2145 - added several tests for this
2146 - no docs for this yet

2150 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2151 thanks to chansen for this commit
2152 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2153 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2154 on a per-attribute basis
2155 - added tests for this
2156 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2157 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2158 experimental feature and probably not finished
