1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
9 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
10 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
17 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class destroyed the cache,
18 causing the class to go out of scope unexpectedly. This could easily
19 happen at a distance by applying a metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave
26 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
27 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
28 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
32 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
39 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
40 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
41 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
45 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
46 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
48 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
49 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
50 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
51 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
53 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
57 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
61 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
62 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
64 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
65 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
66 - Moose::Util::does_role
67 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
68 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
69 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
71 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
75 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
76 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
77 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
80 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
84 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
85 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
88 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
92 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
93 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
96 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
100 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
102 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
103 class. (Dave Rolsky).
105 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
106 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
107 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
109 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
110 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
111 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
114 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
115 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
117 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
118 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
119 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
121 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
123 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
124 substr et al, again. (sorear)
126 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
128 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
131 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
132 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
134 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
135 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
137 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
138 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
139 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
140 dependencies installed.
142 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
143 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
146 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
148 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
152 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
155 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
156 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
159 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
160 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
162 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
163 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
166 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
167 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
168 others. (nothingmuch)
170 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
171 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
172 remove_accessors. (doy)
174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
175 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
176 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
179 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
181 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
182 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
183 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
184 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
187 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
188 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
191 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
193 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
195 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
196 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
200 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
201 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
202 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
203 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
205 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
208 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
209 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
210 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
211 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
214 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
215 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
216 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
217 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
218 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
220 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
221 which were not receiving the value of
222 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
223 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
224 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
225 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
229 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
230 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
231 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
232 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
233 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
237 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
238 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
239 - added tests for this (Stevan)
242 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
243 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
244 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
247 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
249 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
252 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
253 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
256 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
257 class if you pass it options for
258 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
259 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
260 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
261 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
262 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
263 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
264 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
265 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
266 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
268 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
269 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
270 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
271 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
272 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
275 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
277 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
278 existing delegation API. (hdp)
280 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
281 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
282 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
283 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
284 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
285 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
288 * Moose::Error::Croak
289 * Moose::Error::Confess
290 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
291 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
294 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
297 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
298 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
299 installing a broken sub. (doy)
302 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
305 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
306 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
307 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
309 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
310 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
311 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
312 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
313 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
316 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
319 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
321 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
322 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
325 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
326 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
330 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
331 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
334 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
335 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
336 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
337 using it for new code!
339 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
340 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
341 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
342 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
344 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
345 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
346 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
347 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
348 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
349 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
350 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
351 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
354 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
357 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
358 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
362 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
365 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
366 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
370 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
371 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
374 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
375 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
378 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
379 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
382 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
384 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
385 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
386 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
387 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
389 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
391 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
395 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
396 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
398 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
399 associated_methods. (hdp)
400 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
401 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
402 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
403 misspelled) arguments
405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
406 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
407 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
408 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
410 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
411 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
412 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
414 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
418 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
419 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
422 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
423 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
425 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
427 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
428 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
430 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
431 * Moose::Manual::Types
432 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
433 string parsing rathole (mst)
435 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
436 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
437 using plain objects instead
439 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
440 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
443 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
445 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
446 three times today (perigrin)
447 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
448 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
451 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
452 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
453 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
456 - A role's required methods are now represented by
457 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
458 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
459 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
460 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
461 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
464 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
465 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
466 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
467 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
470 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
472 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
475 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
477 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
480 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
481 during global destruction. This method has been made more
482 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
486 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
487 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
490 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
491 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
493 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
494 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
495 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
498 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
500 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
501 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
504 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
508 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
509 methods during global destruction (doy)
512 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
513 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
517 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
518 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
521 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
522 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
525 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
526 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
528 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
530 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
534 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
535 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
536 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
539 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
540 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
541 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
544 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
546 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
548 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
552 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
553 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
554 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
556 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
557 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
558 of the Moose core (Sartak)
561 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
564 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
565 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
566 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
570 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
571 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
574 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
576 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
579 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
580 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
583 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
584 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
587 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
588 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
591 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
594 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
596 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
597 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
601 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
604 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
607 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
608 * More deprecations and renamings
609 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
610 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
611 when an object is constructed)
614 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
615 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
616 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
619 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
620 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
621 feature, and it works again.
624 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
626 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
628 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
629 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
630 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
633 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
634 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
635 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
636 message. Test provided by perigrin.
638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
639 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
640 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
641 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
642 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
645 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
646 metaclass object. (hdp)
648 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
649 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
650 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
651 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
652 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
653 point out this fact. (hdp)
655 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
656 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
658 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
659 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
663 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
664 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
665 called during instance construction were passed the
666 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
667 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
669 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
670 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
673 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
674 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
675 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
678 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
679 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
680 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
681 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
682 them, but they are not for "public" use.
685 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
687 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
688 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
689 when an object is constructed)
690 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
692 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
693 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
694 when an object is constructed)
695 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
696 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
697 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
700 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
702 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
703 * No changes from 0.72_01.
705 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
707 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
708 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
709 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
711 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
712 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
713 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
715 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
717 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
718 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
720 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
721 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
724 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
725 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
728 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
729 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
730 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
733 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
737 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
738 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
739 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
742 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
745 * Moose::Manual::Delta
746 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
747 with recommended workarounds.
749 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
750 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
753 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
754 (yes, spelled like that).
756 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
757 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
760 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
761 changes in latest Class::MOP.
763 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
765 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
766 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
767 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
768 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
769 instead. Reported by doy.
771 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
773 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
774 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
777 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
778 message) is now deprecated.
779 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
780 often got it wrong. For example:
782 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
784 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
788 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
789 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
790 bite you in weird cases.
792 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
793 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
794 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
797 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
798 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
802 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
805 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
806 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
809 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
810 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
813 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
816 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
818 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
819 - added tests for this (stevan)
821 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
822 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
823 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
824 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
828 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
829 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
830 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
831 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
833 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
834 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
835 - added tests for this (rafl)
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
838 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
839 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
840 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
844 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
845 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
848 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
849 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
850 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
852 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
854 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
855 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
858 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
859 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
860 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
861 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
864 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
865 error message did not specify the attribute name
868 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
870 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
872 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
873 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
874 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
876 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
877 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
880 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
882 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
883 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
884 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
885 of fixes and formatting improvements.
887 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
889 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
890 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
891 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
892 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
895 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
896 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
899 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
900 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
901 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
902 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
905 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
906 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
907 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
908 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
911 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
912 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
913 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
914 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
915 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
917 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
918 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
919 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
920 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
921 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
922 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
925 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
927 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
928 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
929 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
930 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
933 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
936 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
940 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
941 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
943 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
944 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
945 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
948 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
950 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
953 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
954 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
955 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
958 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
961 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
962 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
964 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
966 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
969 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
970 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
971 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
972 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
973 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
974 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
977 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
978 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
979 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
980 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
981 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
982 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
983 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
984 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
985 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
987 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
989 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
990 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
993 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
994 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
995 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
997 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
998 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
999 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1000 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1001 same methods for a single role did not work
1002 right (worked just fine with multiple
1004 - added test for this (stevan)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1007 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1008 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1011 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1012 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1013 - added test for this (t0m)
1016 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1017 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1018 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1021 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1022 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1023 - added test for this (t0m)
1025 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1026 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1027 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1028 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1029 - added test for this (perigrin)
1032 - create method for constructing a role
1033 dynamically (Sartak)
1034 - added test for this (Sartak)
1035 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1036 - added test for this (Sartak)
1039 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1042 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1043 methods is useful (Sartak)
1045 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1047 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1050 * Moose::Meta::Class
1051 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1052 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1053 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1054 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1055 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1056 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1059 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1060 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1063 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1064 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1065 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1066 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1070 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1071 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1075 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1076 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1077 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1078 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1079 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1080 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1084 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1085 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1086 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1087 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1088 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1089 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1090 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1091 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1092 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1093 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1096 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1100 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1101 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1102 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1103 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1105 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1107 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1108 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1109 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1112 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1115 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1116 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1117 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1120 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1121 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1123 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1125 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1126 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1128 * Moose::Meta::Class
1129 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1130 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1131 a required attribute
1133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1134 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1135 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1136 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1139 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1142 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1143 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1144 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1145 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1146 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1147 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1148 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1151 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1152 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1154 * Roles and role application
1155 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1156 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1157 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1158 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1159 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1161 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1162 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1166 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1167 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1168 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1169 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1172 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1173 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1174 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1175 changes in the Moose internals.
1177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1179 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1183 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1184 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1185 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1188 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1189 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1190 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1192 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1193 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1194 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1195 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1196 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1197 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1198 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1199 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1200 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1201 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1202 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1203 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1204 constraint implementations.
1206 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1210 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1211 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1212 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1213 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1214 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1215 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1216 - added tests for this (rafl)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Class
1219 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1220 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1221 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1222 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1223 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1224 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1225 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1229 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1230 - added tests for this (thepler)
1232 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1233 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1234 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1235 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1238 * Moose::Meta::Class
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method
1243 * Moose::Error::Default
1244 * Moose::Error::Croak
1245 * Moose::Error::Confess
1246 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1247 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1248 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1249 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1250 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1251 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1253 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1255 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1256 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1258 * Moose::Unsweetened
1259 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1260 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1261 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1265 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1266 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1267 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1270 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1271 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1273 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1274 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1275 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1276 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1279 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1281 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1282 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1284 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1287 - Various bug fixes.
1289 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1290 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1292 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1294 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1295 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1296 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1297 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1298 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1299 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1301 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1302 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1303 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1305 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1306 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1307 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1310 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1311 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1312 dependency to 0.64_07.
1314 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1315 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1316 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1319 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1323 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1324 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1325 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1326 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1327 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1329 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1330 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1332 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1334 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1335 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1339 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1340 method when that method was provided by another role being
1341 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1342 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1344 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1346 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1347 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1350 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1351 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1352 - added test for this (t0m)
1354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1355 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1356 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1358 - added test for this (t0m)
1361 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1362 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors

1367 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1369 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1372 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1374 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1375 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1376 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

1389 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1390 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1391 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1395 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1396 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1397 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1400 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1404 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1405 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making

1446 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1447 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1449 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1450 ... this is not my day today ...
1452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1453 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1454 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1455 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1456 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1459 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1460 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1461 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1462 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1463 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1466 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1468 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1469 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1501 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1502 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1503 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1504 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1505 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1506 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1507 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1508 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1509 - added tests for this
1511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1512 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2053 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2055 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2056 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2057 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2059 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2060 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
2062 * Moose::Meta::Class
2064 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2065 new method map caching in Class::MOP
2067 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2072 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2073 - added tests for this
2075 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2076 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2077 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2078 types without having to explictly define them
2079 - added tests for this
2081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2082 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2083 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2085 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2087 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2088 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2089 - added tests for this
2090 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2091 a single type at different times instead of
2092 having to do it all in one place
2093 - added tests for this
2095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2096 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2097 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2100 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2101 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2102 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2103 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2104 new features above (although you cannot add
2105 more type coercions for Union types)
2107 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2109 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2110 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2111 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2112 - added tests for this.
2113 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2114 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2115 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2116 - added tests for this
2117 - added docs for this
2119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2120 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2121 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2122 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2123 instead it will just return undef.
2124 - added docs for this
2126 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2138 with work correctly.
2139 - added tests for this
2142 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2143 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2146 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2147 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2148 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2150 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2182 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2185 - fixed how required methods are handled
2186 when they encounter overriden or modified
2187 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2188 - added tests for this
2190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2191 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2192 the | always creates a union and so is
2193 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2194 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2196 - added more tests for this
2198 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2201 * Parameterized Types
2202 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2203 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2204 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2205 They can also be nested:
2206 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2207 And work with the type unions as well:
2208 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2210 * Better Framework Extendability
2211 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2212 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2213 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2214 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2217 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2218 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2219 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2220 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2223 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2225 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2226 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2229 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2230 set it to inline the accessors
2231 - fix import to allow Sub::Exporter like { into => }

2256 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2257 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2259 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2260 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2261 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2262 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2264 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2265 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2266 - updated the accompanying test as well
2268 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2269 +++ with new features added as well +++
2271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2272 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2273 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2274 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2275 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2277 - added tests for this
2279 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2280 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2281 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2282 can track where the type constraints are created
2284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2285 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2286 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2288 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2289 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2290 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2291 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2305 (thanks to shlomif).
2307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2308 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2309 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2310 - added tests for this
2311 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2313 - added tests for this
2315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2318 - type-constraint tests now handle overloaded objects correctly

2347 - added tests for these
2349 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2350 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2353 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2354 to the 'handles' option.
2355 - added tests and docs for this

2358 (but not changing the handles option)
2359 - added tests and docs for this
2362 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2363 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2364 - adjusted tests for this
2366 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2368 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2374 the other side (perigrin)
2376 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2378 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2379 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2380 prototypes for functions
2381 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2382 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2392 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2395 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2396 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2397 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2398 - added tests for this
2400 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2402 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2403 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

2415 where not handled correctly in roles
2416 - added tests for this
2418 * Moose::Meta::Class
2419 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2420 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2421 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2423 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2424 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2426 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2427 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2428 so this release is just to fix that.
2431 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2432 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2433 (thanks to konobi for this)
2434 - added tests and docs
2436 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2437 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2440 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2441 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2442 - added tests for this
2443 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2444 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2445 functions to facilitate introspection.
2447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2448 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2449 to build the list of delegated methods
2450 correctly (and not override important
2451 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2453 - added tests and docs for this
2454 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2455 so that you can actually document your
2456 attributes and inspect them through the
2458 - added tests and docs for this
2460 * Moose::Meta::Class
2461 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2462 it will first look in for the class in the
2463 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2464 then default to just loading $name.
2465 - added tests and docs for this
2467 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2468 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2469 - added test for this
2472 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2473 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2474 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2475 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2477 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2478 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2481 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2483 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2484 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2485 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2488 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2489 !! for this developer release to work !!
2491 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2492 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2493 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2494 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2495 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2496 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2497 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2498 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2499 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2500 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2501 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2503 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2504 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2505 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2506 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2509 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2510 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2511 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2512 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2513 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2515 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2517 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2518 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2521 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2522 called unless they actually need to be.
2523 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2524 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2525 DEMOLISH method present.
2527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2529 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2530 type constraint, which allows for a
2531 hand optimized version of the type
2532 constraint to be used when possible.
2533 - Any internally created type constraints
2534 now provide an optimized version as well.
2536 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2538 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2539 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2540 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2543 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2544 your class namespace of these exported
2547 * Moose::Meta::Class
2548 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2549 comes up during global destruction
2551 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2555 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2559 - changed how we do type checks so that
2560 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2563 - moved accessor generation methods to
2564 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2565 conform to the API changes from
2568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2569 - changed how constraints are compiled
2570 so that we do less recursion and more
2571 iteration. This makes the type check
2573 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2577 - created this from methods formerly found in
2578 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2580 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2581 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2584 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2586 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2587 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2589 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2591 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2592 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2593 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2594 - added tests for this
2595 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2596 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2597 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2598 - removed tests for this
2600 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2602 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2603 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2604 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2607 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2608 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2609 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2611 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2612 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2613 comments for more info.
2616 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2617 asked questions and common problems
2619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2620 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2621 - added tests for this
2623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2624 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2625 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2626 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2628 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2629 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2632 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2633 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2634 is much appreciated :)
2635 - added tests for this
2637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2638 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2639 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2642 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2643 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2645 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2647 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2648 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2652 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2653 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2654 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2656 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2658 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2661 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2662 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2663 keywords because we need to localize them.
2664 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2666 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2667 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2668 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2671 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2674 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2675 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2676 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2679 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2680 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2681 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2683 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2685 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2686 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2687 bottom of your class file.
2690 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2693 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2695 - improved error message when loading modules so
2696 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2697 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2698 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2701 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2702 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2703 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2705 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2706 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2708 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2709 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2710 turn them on for you.
2711 - added tests for this
2712 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2713 in Moose::Meta::Class
2716 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2717 automatically turned on for you.
2718 - added tests for this
2721 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2722 - added tests for this
2723 - added some more edge case tests

2736 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2739 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2740 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2741 - This release works in combination with
2742 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2743 release because it uses the a new
2744 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2745 complete Role implementation. It has
2746 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2747 the the previous CPAN version. This
2748 release also lacks good updated docs,
2749 the official release will have updated docs.
2752 - refactored the keyword exports
2753 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2754 accepts more than one Role at a time
2755 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2756 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2759 - refactored the keyword exports
2760 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2761 accepts more than one Role at a time
2763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2764 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2765 string enumerations which can be used as
2767 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2770 - more careful checking of params to new()
2773 - much work done on the role composition
2774 - many new tests for conflict detection
2775 and composition edge cases
2776 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2777 looking at the tests
2779 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2780 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2781 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2783 * Moose::Meta::Class
2784 - some small changes to support the new
2786 - some small additions to support Roles
2788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2789 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2791 - some small changes to support the new
2793 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2794 with the 'handles' option
2795 - added several tests for this
2796 - no docs for this yet

2800 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2801 thanks to chansen for this commit
2802 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2803 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2804 on a per-attribute basis
2805 - added tests for this
2806 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2807 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2808 experimental feature and probably not finished
