1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
9 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
10 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
18 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
19 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
20 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
22 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
23 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
24 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
27 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
28 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
29 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
31 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
32 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
33 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
35 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
36 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
40 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
41 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
42 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
44 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
45 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
46 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
47 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
49 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
53 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
54 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
57 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
58 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
60 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
64 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
65 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
66 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
68 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
72 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
73 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
77 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
78 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
79 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
81 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
82 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
83 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
85 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
89 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
91 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
95 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
97 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
98 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
103 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
104 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
106 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
107 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
108 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
109 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
110 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
112 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
113 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
114 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
115 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
117 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
121 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
122 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
127 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
129 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
131 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
136 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
138 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
142 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
143 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
144 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
146 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
147 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
148 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
149 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
151 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
152 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
153 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
154 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
155 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
158 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
163 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
164 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
165 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
166 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
167 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
170 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
174 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
177 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
178 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
182 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
183 function (not just method). (doy)
187 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
188 and aren't easily installable/testable.
190 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
194 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
195 to be overridden more easily (doy).
197 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
201 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
202 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
204 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
208 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
209 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
210 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
212 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
216 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
217 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
218 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
220 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
221 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
225 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
226 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
228 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
229 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
233 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
234 is applied to a class (t0m).
236 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
237 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
239 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
242 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
243 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
245 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
246 be much more robust. (doy)
248 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
250 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
253 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
257 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
258 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
260 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
264 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
265 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
267 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
270 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
271 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
272 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
274 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
275 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
276 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
279 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
281 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
285 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
286 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
290 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
292 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
297 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
301 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
302 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
306 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
308 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
312 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
313 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
317 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
318 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
322 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
323 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
325 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
329 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
330 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
331 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
334 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
338 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
339 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
340 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
341 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
343 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
347 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
348 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
349 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
353 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
356 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
361 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
362 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
366 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
367 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
369 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
370 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
371 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
372 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
374 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
378 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
382 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
383 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
385 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
386 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
387 - Moose::Util::does_role
388 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
389 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
390 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
392 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
396 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
397 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
398 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
401 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
405 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
406 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
409 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
413 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
414 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
417 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
421 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
423 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
424 class. (Dave Rolsky).
426 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
427 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
428 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
430 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
431 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
432 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
435 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
436 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
438 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
439 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
440 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
442 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
444 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
445 substr et al, again. (sorear)
447 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
449 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
452 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
453 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
455 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
456 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
458 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
459 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
460 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
461 dependencies installed.
463 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
464 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
467 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
469 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
473 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
475 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
476 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
477 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
480 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
481 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
483 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
484 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
487 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
488 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
489 others. (nothingmuch)
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
492 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
493 remove_accessors. (doy)
495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
496 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
497 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
500 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
502 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
504 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
505 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
508 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
509 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
512 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
514 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
516 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
517 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
521 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
522 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
523 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
524 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
526 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
529 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
530 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
531 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
532 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
535 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
536 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
537 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
538 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
539 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
541 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
542 which were not receiving the value of
543 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
544 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
545 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
546 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
550 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
551 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
552 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
553 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
554 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
558 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
559 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
560 - added tests for this (Stevan)
563 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
564 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
565 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
568 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
570 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
573 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
574 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
577 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
578 class if you pass it options for
579 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
580 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
581 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
582 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
583 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
584 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
585 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
586 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
587 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
589 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
590 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
591 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
592 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
593 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
596 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
598 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
599 existing delegation API. (hdp)
601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
602 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
603 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
604 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
605 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
606 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
609 * Moose::Error::Croak
610 * Moose::Error::Confess
611 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
612 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
615 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
618 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
619 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
620 installing a broken sub. (doy)
623 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
626 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
627 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
628 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
630 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
631 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
632 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
633 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
634 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
637 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
640 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
642 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
643 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
646 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
647 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
649 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
651 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
652 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
655 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
656 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
657 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
658 using it for new code!
660 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
661 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
662 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
663 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
665 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
666 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
667 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
668 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
669 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
670 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
671 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
672 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
675 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
678 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
679 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
683 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
686 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
687 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
691 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
692 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
695 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
696 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
699 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
700 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
703 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
704 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
705 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
706 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
707 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
708 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
710 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
712 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
716 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
717 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
719 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
720 associated_methods. (hdp)
721 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
722 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
723 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
724 misspelled) arguments
726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
727 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
728 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
729 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
731 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
732 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
733 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
735 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
739 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
740 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
743 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
744 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
746 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
748 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
749 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
751 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
752 * Moose::Manual::Types
753 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
754 string parsing rathole (mst)
756 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
757 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
758 using plain objects instead
760 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
761 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
764 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
766 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
767 three times today (perigrin)
768 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
769 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
772 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
773 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
774 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
777 - A role's required methods are now represented by
778 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
779 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
780 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
781 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
782 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
785 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
786 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
787 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
788 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
791 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
793 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
796 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
798 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
801 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
802 during global destruction. This method has been made more
803 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
807 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
808 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
811 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
812 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
814 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
815 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
816 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
819 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
821 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
822 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
825 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
829 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
830 methods during global destruction (doy)
833 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
834 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
838 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
839 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
842 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
843 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
846 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
847 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
849 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
851 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
855 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
856 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
857 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
860 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
861 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
862 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
865 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
867 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
869 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
872 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
873 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
874 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
875 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
877 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
878 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
879 of the Moose core (Sartak)
882 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
885 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
886 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
887 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
891 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
892 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
895 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
897 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
900 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
901 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
904 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
905 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
908 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
909 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
912 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
915 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
918 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
922 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
925 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
928 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
929 * More deprecations and renamings
930 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
931 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
932 when an object is constructed)
935 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
936 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
937 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
940 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
941 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
942 feature, and it works again.
945 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
947 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
949 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
950 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
951 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
953 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
954 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
955 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
956 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
957 message. Test provided by perigrin.
959 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
960 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
961 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
962 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
963 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
966 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
967 metaclass object. (hdp)
969 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
970 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
971 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
972 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
973 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
974 point out this fact. (hdp)
976 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
977 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
979 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
980 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
984 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
985 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
986 called during instance construction were passed the
987 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
988 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
990 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
991 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
994 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
995 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
996 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
999 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1000 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1001 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1002 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1003 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1005 - Moose::Meta::Class
1006 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1008 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1009 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1010 when an object is constructed)
1011 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1013 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1014 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1015 when an object is constructed)
1016 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1017 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1018 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1021 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1023 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1024 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1026 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1028 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1029 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1030 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1033 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1034 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1036 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1038 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1039 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1042 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1045 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1046 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1049 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1050 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1051 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1054 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1058 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1059 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1060 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1063 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1066 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1067 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1068 with recommended workarounds.
1070 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1071 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1073 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1074 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1075 (yes, spelled like that).
1077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1078 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1080 * Moose::Meta::Class
1081 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1082 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1084 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1086 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1087 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1088 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1089 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1090 instead. Reported by doy.
1092 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1094 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1095 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1098 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1099 message) is now deprecated.
1100 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1101 often got it wrong. For example:
1103 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1105 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1109 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1110 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1111 bite you in weird cases.
1113 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1114 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1115 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1116 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1119 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1123 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1126 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1127 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1131 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1133 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1134 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1137 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1139 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1140 - added tests for this (stevan)
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1143 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1144 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1145 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1149 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1150 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1151 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1152 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1154 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1155 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1156 - added tests for this (rafl)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1159 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1160 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1161 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1165 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1166 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1170 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1171 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1175 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1176 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1178 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1179 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1180 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1181 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1182 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1185 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1186 error message did not specify the attribute name
1189 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1191 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1193 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1194 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1195 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1198 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1201 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1203 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1204 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1205 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1206 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1208 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1210 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1211 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1212 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1213 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1216 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1217 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1220 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1221 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1222 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1223 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1226 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1227 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1228 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1229 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1232 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1233 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1234 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1235 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1236 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1238 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1239 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1240 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1241 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1242 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1243 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1246 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1248 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1249 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1250 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1251 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1254 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1257 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1261 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1262 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1264 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1265 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1266 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1267 guts. (nothingmuch).
1269 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1271 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1274 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1275 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1276 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Class
1279 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1282 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1283 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1285 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1286 * Moose::Unsweetened
1287 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1290 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1291 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1292 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1293 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1294 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1295 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1298 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1299 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1300 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1301 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1302 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1303 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1304 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1305 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1306 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1308 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1310 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1311 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1314 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1315 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1316 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1319 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1320 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1321 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1322 same methods for a single role did not work
1323 right (worked just fine with multiple
1325 - added test for this (stevan)
1327 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1328 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1329 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1332 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1333 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1334 - added test for this (t0m)
1337 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1338 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1339 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1342 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1343 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1344 - added test for this (t0m)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1347 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1348 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1349 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1350 - added test for this (perigrin)
1353 - create method for constructing a role
1354 dynamically (Sartak)
1355 - added test for this (Sartak)
1356 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1357 - added test for this (Sartak)
1360 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1363 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1364 methods is useful (Sartak)
1366 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1368 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1371 * Moose::Meta::Class
1372 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1373 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1374 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1375 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1376 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1377 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1380 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1381 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1383 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1384 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1385 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1386 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1387 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1391 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1392 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1393 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1396 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1397 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1398 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1399 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1400 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1401 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1405 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1406 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1407 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1408 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1409 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1410 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1411 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1412 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1413 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1414 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1416 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1417 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1420 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1421 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1422 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1423 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1424 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1426 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1428 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1429 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1430 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1433 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1436 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1437 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1438 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1442 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1444 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1446 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1447 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1449 * Moose::Meta::Class
1450 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1451 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1452 a required attribute
1454 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1456 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1457 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1459 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1460 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1463 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1464 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1465 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1466 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1467 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1468 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1469 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1472 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1473 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1475 * Roles and role application
1476 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1477 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1478 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1479 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1480 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1482 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1483 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1486 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1487 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1488 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1489 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1490 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1493 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1494 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1495 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1496 changes in the Moose internals.
1498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1500 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1504 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1505 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1506 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1509 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1510 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1511 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1514 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1515 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1516 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1517 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1518 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1519 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1520 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1521 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1522 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1523 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1524 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1525 constraint implementations.
1527 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1531 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1532 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1533 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1534 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1535 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1536 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1537 - added tests for this (rafl)
1539 * Moose::Meta::Class
1540 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1541 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1542 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1543 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1544 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1545 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1546 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1547 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1550 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1551 - added tests for this (thepler)
1553 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1554 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1555 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1556 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1559 * Moose::Meta::Class
1560 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1561 * Moose::Meta::Method
1564 * Moose::Error::Default
1565 * Moose::Error::Croak
1566 * Moose::Error::Confess
1567 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1568 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1569 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1570 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1571 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1572 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1574 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1576 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1577 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1579 * Moose::Unsweetened
1580 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1581 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1582 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1585 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1586 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1587 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1588 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1591 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1592 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1594 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1595 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1596 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1597 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1600 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1602 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1603 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1605 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1608 - Various bug fixes.
1610 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1611 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1613 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1615 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1616 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1617 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1618 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1619 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1620 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1623 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1624 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1626 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1627 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1628 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1631 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1632 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1633 dependency to 0.64_07.
1635 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1636 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1637 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1640 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1643 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1644 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1645 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1646 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1647 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1648 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1650 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1651 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1653 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1656 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1660 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1661 method when that method was provided by another role being
1662 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1663 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1665 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1667 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1668 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1671 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1672 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1673 - added test for this (t0m)
1675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1676 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1677 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1679 - added test for this (t0m)
1682 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1683 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1684 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1688 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1690 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1692 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1693 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1695 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1696 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1697 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1699 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1700 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1703 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1705 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1706 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1710 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1711 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1712 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1715 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1716 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1717 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1718 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1721 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1725 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1726 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1727 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1729 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1731 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1732 created so that the process can be more easily
1733 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1735 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1736 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1737 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1738 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1740 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1741 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1744 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1745 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1747 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1748 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1749 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1751 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1752 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1753 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1755 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1756 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1759 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1763 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1767 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1768 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1770 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1771 ... this is not my day today ...
1773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1774 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1775 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1776 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1777 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1780 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1781 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1782 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1783 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1784 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1787 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1789 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1790 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1791 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1792 this is not ever something you want to do
1793 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1794 - added tests for this (stevan)
1797 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1799 - added test for this
1801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1802 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1803 - added tests for this (wreis)
1805 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1806 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1807 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1808 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1810 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1811 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1812 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1815 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1817 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1819 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1822 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1823 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1824 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1825 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1826 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1827 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1828 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1829 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 - added tests for this
1832 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1833 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1834 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1835 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1837 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1840 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1841 - added tests for this (sartak)
1842 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1843 install_delegation method (Stevan)

1853 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1854 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1856 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1858 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1891 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1892 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1893 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1896 - move the ClassName type check code to
1897 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1899 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1900 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1902 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1903 (early morning release engineering)--
1905 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1906 which was causing the indexer to choke
1908 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1909 (late night release engineering)--
1911 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1912 changes in this release
1914 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1915 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1916 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1918 * Moose::Meta::Class
1919 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1920 since it is called so often by &meta
1922 * Moose::Meta::Class
1924 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1925 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1929 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1930 method for immutablization to check if the
1931 destructor object even needs to be created
1934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1935 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1936 - added more descriptive error message to help
1937 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1938 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1940 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1942 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1943 XS based functionality is now optional
1944 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1945 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1946 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1948 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1949 to take care of this, mostly we added
1950 support for the package_name and name
1951 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1952 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1953 support regexp matching of names
1954 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1955 - tests added for this
1956 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1957 is currently not supported in roles,
1958 but, ... patches welcome
1959 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1960 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1961 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1964 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1965 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1966 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1967 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1968 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1969 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1970 - added test for this
1972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1973 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1974 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1977 * Moose::Meta::Class
1978 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1982 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1984 - added tests for this
1985 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1986 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1989 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1990 themselves parameterizable types
1992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1993 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1994 called by the inlined immutable
1996 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1998 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1999 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2000 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2001 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2003 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2004 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2008 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2009 causing occasional cpantester failures

2011 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2013 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2015 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2016 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2019 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2020 ->body when looping through the
2021 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2023 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2024 eating the $@ values, and so not
2025 working correctly, it still kind of
2026 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2027 - added tests for this
2029 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2030 - added new recipe for immutable
2031 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2033 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2034 - added new recipe for builder and
2035 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2037 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2038 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2039 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2042 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2044 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2045 since Module::Install has done that.
2047 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2049 drink more coffee before
2050 doing release engineering
2052 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2053 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2054 modules. This fixes that.
2056 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2057 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2058 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2060 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2061 since we have tests which need the C3
2064 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2065 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2067 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2068 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)

2167 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2169 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2460 - added tests for this
2463 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2464 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2506 - fixed how required methods are handled
2507 when they encounter overriden or modified
2508 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2509 - added tests for this
2511 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2512 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2513 the | always creates a union and so is
2514 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

2519 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2522 * Parameterized Types
2523 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2524 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2525 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2526 They can also be nested:
2527 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2528 And work with the type unions as well:
2529 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2531 * Better Framework Extendability
2532 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2533 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2534 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2535 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2538 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2539 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2540 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2541 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2741 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2742 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2744 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2745 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2747 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2748 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2749 so this release is just to fix that.
2752 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2753 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2754 (thanks to konobi for this)
2755 - added tests and docs
2757 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2758 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2761 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2762 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2763 - added tests for this
2764 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2765 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2766 functions to facilitate introspection.
2768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2769 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2770 to build the list of delegated methods
2771 correctly (and not override important
2772 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2774 - added tests and docs for this
2775 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2776 so that you can actually document your
2777 attributes and inspect them through the
2779 - added tests and docs for this
2781 * Moose::Meta::Class
2782 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2783 it will first look in for the class in the
2784 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2785 then default to just loading $name.
2786 - added tests and docs for this
2788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2789 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2790 - added test for this
2793 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2794 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2795 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2796 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2798 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2799 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2802 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2804 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2805 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2806 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2809 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2810 !! for this developer release to work !!
2812 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2813 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2814 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2815 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2816 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2817 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2818 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2819 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2820 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2821 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2822 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2824 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2825 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2826 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2827 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2830 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2832 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2833 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2834 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2836 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2838 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2839 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2842 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2843 called unless they actually need to be.
2844 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2845 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2846 DEMOLISH method present.
2848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2850 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2851 type constraint, which allows for a
2852 hand optimized version of the type
2853 constraint to be used when possible.
2854 - Any internally created type constraints
2855 now provide an optimized version as well.
2857 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2859 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2860 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2861 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2864 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2865 your class namespace of these exported
2868 * Moose::Meta::Class
2869 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2870 comes up during global destruction
2872 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2876 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2880 - changed how we do type checks so that
2881 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2884 - moved accessor generation methods to
2885 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2886 conform to the API changes from
2889 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2890 - changed how constraints are compiled
2891 so that we do less recursion and more
2892 iteration. This makes the type check
2894 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2898 - created this from methods formerly found in
2899 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2901 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2902 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2905 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2908 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2910 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2912 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2913 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2914 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2915 - added tests for this
2916 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2917 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2918 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2919 - removed tests for this
2921 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2923 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2924 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2925 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2928 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2929 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2930 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2932 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2933 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2934 comments for more info.
2937 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2938 asked questions and common problems
2940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2941 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2942 - added tests for this
2944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2945 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2946 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2947 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2949 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2950 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2953 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2954 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2955 is much appreciated :)
2956 - added tests for this
2958 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2959 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2960 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2963 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2964 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2966 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2968 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2969 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2973 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2974 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2975 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2977 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2979 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2982 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2983 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2984 keywords because we need to localize them.
2985 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2987 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2988 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2989 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2992 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2995 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2996 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2997 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3000 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3001 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3002 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3004 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3006 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3007 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3008 bottom of your class file.
3011 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3014 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3016 - improved error message when loading modules so
3017 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3018 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3019 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3022 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3023 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3024 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3026 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3027 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3029 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3030 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3031 turn them on for you.
3032 - added tests for this

3061 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3062 - This release works in combination with
3063 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3064 release because it uses the a new
3065 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3066 complete Role implementation. It has
3067 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3068 the the previous CPAN version. This
3069 release also lacks good updated docs,
3070 the official release will have updated docs.
3073 - refactored the keyword exports
3074 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3075 accepts more than one Role at a time

3086 string enumerations which can be used as
3088 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3091 - more careful checking of params to new()
3094 - much work done on the role composition
3095 - many new tests for conflict detection
3096 and composition edge cases
3097 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3098 looking at the tests

3112 - some small changes to support the new
3114 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3115 with the 'handles' option

3123 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3124 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3125 on a per-attribute basis
3126 - added tests for this
