1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
6 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
8 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
9 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
10 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
11 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
12 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
14 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
15 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
18 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
20 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
21 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
24 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
25 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
27 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
28 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
29 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
30 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
33 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
34 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
35 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
36 using it for new code!
38 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
39 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
40 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
41 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
44 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
45 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
46 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
47 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
48 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
49 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
50 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
53 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
56 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
57 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
60 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
61 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
63 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
64 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
65 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
68 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
69 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
70 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
73 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
74 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
76 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
77 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
78 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
81 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
82 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
83 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
84 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
85 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
86 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
88 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
90 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
93 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
94 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
95 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
97 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
98 associated_methods. (hdp)
99 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
100 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
101 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
102 misspelled) arguments
104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
105 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
106 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
107 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
110 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
111 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
113 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
117 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
118 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
121 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
122 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
124 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
126 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
127 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
129 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
130 * Moose::Manual::Types
131 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
132 string parsing rathole (mst)
134 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
135 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
136 using plain objects instead
138 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
139 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
142 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
144 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
145 three times today (perigrin)
146 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
147 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
150 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
151 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
152 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
155 - A role's required methods are now represented by
156 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
157 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
158 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
159 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
160 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
163 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
164 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
165 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
166 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
169 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
171 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
174 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
176 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
179 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
180 during global destruction. This method has been made more
181 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
185 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
186 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
189 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
190 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
192 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
193 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
194 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
197 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
199 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
200 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
203 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
207 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
208 methods during global destruction (doy)
211 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
212 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
216 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
217 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
220 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
221 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
224 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
225 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
227 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
229 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
233 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
234 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
235 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
238 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
239 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
240 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
243 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
245 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
247 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
251 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
252 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
253 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
255 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
256 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
257 of the Moose core (Sartak)
260 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
263 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
264 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
265 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
269 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
270 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
273 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
275 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
278 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
279 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
282 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
283 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
286 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
287 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
290 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
293 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
295 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
296 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
300 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
303 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
306 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
307 * More deprecations and renamings
308 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
309 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
310 when an object is constructed)
313 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
314 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
315 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
318 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
319 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
320 feature, and it works again.
323 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
325 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
327 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
328 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
329 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
332 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
333 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
334 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
335 message. Test provided by perigrin.
337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
338 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
339 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
340 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
341 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
344 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
345 metaclass object. (hdp)
347 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
348 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
349 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
350 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
351 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
352 point out this fact. (hdp)
354 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
355 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
357 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
358 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
362 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
363 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
364 called during instance construction were passed the
365 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
366 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
368 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
369 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
372 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
373 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
374 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
377 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
378 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
379 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
380 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
381 them, but they are not for "public" use.
384 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
386 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
387 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
388 when an object is constructed)
389 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
391 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
392 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
393 when an object is constructed)
394 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
395 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
396 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
399 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
401 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
402 * No changes from 0.72_01.
404 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
406 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
407 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
408 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
410 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
411 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
412 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
414 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
416 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
417 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
419 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
420 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
423 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
424 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
427 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
428 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
429 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
432 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
436 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
437 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
438 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
441 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
444 * Moose::Manual::Delta
445 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
446 with recommended workarounds.
448 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
449 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
452 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
453 (yes, spelled like that).
455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
456 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
459 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
460 changes in latest Class::MOP.
462 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
465 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
466 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
467 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
468 instead. Reported by doy.
470 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
472 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
473 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
476 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
477 message) is now deprecated.
478 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
479 often got it wrong. For example:
481 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
483 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
487 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
488 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
489 bite you in weird cases.
491 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
492 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
493 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
496 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
497 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
501 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
504 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
505 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
508 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
509 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
511 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
512 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
515 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
517 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
518 - added tests for this (stevan)
520 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
521 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
522 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
523 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
527 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
528 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
529 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
530 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
532 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
533 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
534 - added tests for this (rafl)
536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
537 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
538 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
539 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
543 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
544 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
547 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
548 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
549 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
551 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
553 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
554 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
557 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
558 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
559 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
560 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
563 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
564 error message did not specify the attribute name
567 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
569 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
571 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
572 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
573 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
575 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
576 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
579 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
581 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
582 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
583 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
584 of fixes and formatting improvements.
586 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
588 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
589 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
590 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
591 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
594 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
595 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
598 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
599 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
600 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
601 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
604 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
605 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
606 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
607 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
609 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
610 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
611 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
612 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
613 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
614 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
616 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
617 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
618 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
619 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
620 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
621 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
623 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
624 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
626 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
627 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
628 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
629 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
631 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
632 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
635 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
639 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
640 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
642 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
643 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
644 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
647 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
648 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
649 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
652 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
653 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
654 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
657 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
660 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
661 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
663 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
665 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
668 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
670 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
671 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
672 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
673 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
675 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
676 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
677 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
678 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
679 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
680 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
681 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
682 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
683 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
684 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
686 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
688 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
689 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
692 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
693 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
694 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
696 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
697 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
698 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
699 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
700 same methods for a single role did not work
701 right (worked just fine with multiple
703 - added test for this (stevan)
705 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
706 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
707 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
710 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
711 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
712 - added test for this (t0m)
715 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
716 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
717 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
719 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
720 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
721 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
722 - added test for this (t0m)
724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
725 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
726 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
727 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
728 - added test for this (perigrin)
731 - create method for constructing a role
733 - added test for this (Sartak)
734 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
735 - added test for this (Sartak)
738 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
740 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
741 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
742 methods is useful (Sartak)
744 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
746 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
750 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
751 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
752 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
753 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
754 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
755 - added tests for this (jdv79)
758 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
759 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
761 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
762 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
763 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
764 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
765 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
767 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
769 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
770 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
771 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
774 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
775 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
776 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
777 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
778 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
779 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
783 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
784 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
785 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
786 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
787 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
788 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
789 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
790 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
791 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
792 future. (jnapiorkowski)
794 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
795 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
799 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
800 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
801 type. (jnapiorkowski)
802 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
804 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
806 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
807 predicate, and link to more details sections in
808 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
811 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
814 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
815 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
816 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
819 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
820 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
822 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
824 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
825 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
828 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
829 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
832 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
834 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
835 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
838 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
841 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
842 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
843 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
844 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
845 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
846 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
847 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
849 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
850 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
851 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
853 * Roles and role application
854 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
855 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
856 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
857 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
858 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
860 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
861 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
864 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
865 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
866 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
867 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
868 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
871 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
872 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
873 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
874 changes in the Moose internals.
876 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
878 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
882 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
883 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
884 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
887 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
888 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
889 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
892 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
893 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
894 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
895 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
896 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
897 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
898 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
899 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
900 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
901 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
902 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
903 constraint implementations.
905 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
909 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
910 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
911 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
912 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
913 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
914 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
915 - added tests for this (rafl)
918 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
919 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
920 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
921 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
922 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
923 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
924 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
925 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
928 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
929 - added tests for this (thepler)
931 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
932 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
933 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
934 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
938 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
939 * Moose::Meta::Method
942 * Moose::Error::Default
943 * Moose::Error::Croak
944 * Moose::Error::Confess
945 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
946 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
947 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
948 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
949 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
950 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
952 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
954 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
955 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
958 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
959 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
960 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
962 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
963 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
964 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
965 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
966 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
969 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
970 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
972 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
973 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
974 several major changes in this release of Moose.
975 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
978 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
980 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
981 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
983 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
988 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
989 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
991 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
993 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
994 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
995 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
996 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
997 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
998 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1000 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1001 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1002 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1006 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1009 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1010 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1011 dependency to 0.64_07.
1013 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1014 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1015 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1018 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1021 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1022 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1023 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1024 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1025 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1026 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1029 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1031 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1033 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1034 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1038 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1039 method when that method was provided by another role being
1040 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1043 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1045 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1046 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1049 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1050 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1051 - added test for this (t0m)
1053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1054 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1055 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1057 - added test for this (t0m)
1060 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1061 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1062 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1065 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1066 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1068 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1070 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1071 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1073 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1074 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1075 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1078 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1082 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1083 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1084 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1088 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1089 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1090 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1093 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1094 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1095 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1096 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1099 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1103 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1104 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1105 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1107 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1109 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1110 created so that the process can be more easily
1111 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1113 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1114 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1115 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1116 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1119 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1122 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1123 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1125 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1126 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1127 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1129 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1130 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1131 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1134 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1136 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1137 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1140 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1141 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1145 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1146 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1148 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1149 ... this is not my day today ...
1151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1152 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1153 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1154 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1155 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1158 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1159 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1160 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1161 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1162 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1165 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1167 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1168 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1169 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1170 this is not ever something you want to do
1171 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1172 - added tests for this (stevan)
1175 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1177 - added test for this
1179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1180 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1181 - added tests for this (wreis)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1184 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1185 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1186 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1189 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1190 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1193 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1195 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1197 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1200 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1201 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1202 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1203 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1204 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1205 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1206 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1207 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1208 - added tests for this
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1211 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1212 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1213 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1215 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1218 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1219 - added tests for this (sartak)
1220 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1221 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1224 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1227 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1231 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1232 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1234 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1236 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1237 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1240 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1241 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1242 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1245 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1246 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1248 - added docs for this (TODO).
1249 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1250 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1251 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1252 - fix builder and default both being used
1257 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1260 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1265 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1269 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1270 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1271 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1273 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1274 - move the ClassName type check code to
1275 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1277 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1278 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1280 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1281 (early morning release engineering)--
1283 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1284 which was causing the indexer to choke
1286 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1287 (late night release engineering)--
1289 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1290 changes in this release
1292 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1293 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1294 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1296 * Moose::Meta::Class
1297 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1298 since it is called so often by &meta
1300 * Moose::Meta::Class
1302 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1303 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1307 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1308 method for immutablization to check if the
1309 destructor object even needs to be created
1312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1313 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1314 - added more descriptive error message to help
1315 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1316 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1318 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1320 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1321 XS based functionality is now optional
1322 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1323 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1324 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1326 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1327 to take care of this, mostly we added
1328 support for the package_name and name
1329 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1330 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1331 support regexp matching of names
1332 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1333 - tests added for this
1334 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1335 is currently not supported in roles,
1336 but, ... patches welcome
1337 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1338 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1339 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1342 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1343 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1344 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1345 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1346 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1347 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1348 - added test for this
1350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1351 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1352 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1355 * Moose::Meta::Class
1356 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1360 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1362 - added tests for this
1363 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1364 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1367 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1368 themselves parameterizable types
1370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1371 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1372 called by the inlined immutable
1374 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1376 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1377 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1378 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1379 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1381 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1382 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1386 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1387 causing occasional cpantester failures
1388 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1389 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1391 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1393 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1394 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1397 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1398 ->body when looping through the
1399 methods, to avoid the overloaded

1545 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1547 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1591 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1592 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1897 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1900 * Parameterized Types
1901 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1902 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1903 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1904 They can also be nested:
1905 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1906 And work with the type unions as well:
1907 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1909 * Better Framework Extendability
1910 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1911 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1912 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1913 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1916 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1917 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1918 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1919 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2077 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2078 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2079 prototypes for functions
2080 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2081 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2082 - added tests and docs for this
2083 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2084 default for where be { 1 }
2085 - added test for this
2087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2088 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2089 merlyn for finding this bug
2090 - tests added for this
2091 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2094 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2095 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2096 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2097 - added tests for this
2099 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2101 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2102 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2103 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2106 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2108 * Moose::Meta::Class
2109 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2110 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2113 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2114 where not handled correctly in roles
2115 - added tests for this
2117 * Moose::Meta::Class
2118 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2119 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2120 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2122 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2123 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2125 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2126 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2127 so this release is just to fix that.
2130 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2131 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2132 (thanks to konobi for this)
2133 - added tests and docs
2135 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2136 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2139 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2140 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2141 - added tests for this
2142 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2143 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2144 functions to facilitate introspection.
2146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2147 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2148 to build the list of delegated methods
2149 correctly (and not override important
2150 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2152 - added tests and docs for this
2153 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2154 so that you can actually document your
2155 attributes and inspect them through the
2157 - added tests and docs for this
2159 * Moose::Meta::Class
2160 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2161 it will first look in for the class in the
2162 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2163 then default to just loading $name.
2164 - added tests and docs for this
2166 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2167 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2168 - added test for this
2171 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2172 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2173 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2174 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2176 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2177 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2180 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2182 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2183 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2184 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2187 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2188 !! for this developer release to work !!
2190 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2191 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2192 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2193 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2194 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2195 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2196 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2197 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2198 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2199 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2200 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2202 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2203 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2204 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2205 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2208 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2210 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2211 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2212 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2214 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2216 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2217 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2220 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2221 called unless they actually need to be.
2222 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2223 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2224 DEMOLISH method present.
2226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2228 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2229 type constraint, which allows for a
2230 hand optimized version of the type
2231 constraint to be used when possible.
2232 - Any internally created type constraints
2233 now provide an optimized version as well.
2235 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2237 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2238 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2239 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2242 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2243 your class namespace of these exported
2246 * Moose::Meta::Class
2247 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2248 comes up during global destruction
2250 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2254 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2258 - changed how we do type checks so that
2259 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2262 - moved accessor generation methods to
2263 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2264 conform to the API changes from
2267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2268 - changed how constraints are compiled
2269 so that we do less recursion and more
2270 iteration. This makes the type check
2272 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2276 - created this from methods formerly found in
2277 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2279 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2280 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2283 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2286 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2288 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2291 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2292 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2293 - added tests for this
2294 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2295 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2296 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2297 - removed tests for this
2299 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2301 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2302 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2303 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2306 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2307 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2308 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2310 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2311 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2312 comments for more info.
2315 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2316 asked questions and common problems
2318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2319 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2320 - added tests for this
2322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2323 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2324 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2325 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2327 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2328 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2331 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2332 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2333 is much appreciated :)
2334 - added tests for this
2336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2337 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2338 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2342 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2344 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2346 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2347 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2351 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2352 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2353 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2355 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2357 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2360 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2361 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2362 keywords because we need to localize them.
2363 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2365 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2366 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2367 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2370 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2374 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2375 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2378 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2379 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2380 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2382 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2384 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2385 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2386 bottom of your class file.
2389 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2392 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2394 - improved error message when loading modules so
2395 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2396 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2397 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2400 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2401 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2402 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2404 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2405 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2407 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2408 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2409 turn them on for you.
2410 - added tests for this
2411 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2412 in Moose::Meta::Class

2439 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2440 - This release works in combination with
2441 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2442 release because it uses the a new
2443 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2444 complete Role implementation. It has
2445 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2446 the the previous CPAN version. This
2447 release also lacks good updated docs,
2448 the official release will have updated docs.
2451 - refactored the keyword exports
2452 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2453 accepts more than one Role at a time

2464 string enumerations which can be used as
2466 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2469 - more careful checking of params to new()
2472 - much work done on the role composition
2473 - many new tests for conflict detection
2474 and composition edge cases
2475 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2476 looking at the tests
2478 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2479 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2480 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2492 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2493 with the 'handles' option

2501 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2502 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2503 on a per-attribute basis
2504 - added tests for this
2505 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2506 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2507 experimental feature and probably not finished
