1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
9 return a valid value or throw an error.
11 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
15 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
16 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
17 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
19 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
23 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
24 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
25 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
27 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
28 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
31 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
32 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
35 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
36 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
37 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
39 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
40 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
45 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
46 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
47 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
50 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
51 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
53 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
54 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
56 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
57 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
58 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
61 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
62 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
63 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
66 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
67 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
68 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
69 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
72 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
75 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
76 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
83 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
84 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
85 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
87 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
88 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
89 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
92 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
93 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
94 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
96 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
97 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
98 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
100 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
101 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
105 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
106 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
107 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
109 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
110 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
111 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
112 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
114 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
118 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
119 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
120 value is a reference.
122 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
123 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
125 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
129 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
130 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
131 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
133 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
137 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
138 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
142 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
143 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
144 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
146 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
147 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
148 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
150 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
154 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
156 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
160 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
162 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
163 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
168 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
169 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
171 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
172 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
173 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
174 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
175 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
177 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
178 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
179 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
180 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
182 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
186 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
187 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
192 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
194 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
196 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
201 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
203 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
207 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
208 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
209 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
211 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
212 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
213 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
214 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
216 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
217 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
218 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
219 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
220 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
223 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
228 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
229 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
230 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
231 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
232 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
235 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
239 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
242 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
243 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
247 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
248 function (not just method). (doy)
252 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
253 and aren't easily installable/testable.
255 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
259 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
260 to be overridden more easily (doy).
262 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
266 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
267 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
269 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
273 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
274 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
275 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
277 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
281 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
282 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
283 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
285 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
286 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
290 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
291 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
293 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
294 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
298 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
299 is applied to a class (t0m).
301 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
302 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
304 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
307 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
308 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
310 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
311 be much more robust. (doy)
313 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
315 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
318 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
322 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
323 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
325 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
329 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
330 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
332 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
335 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
336 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
337 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
339 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
340 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
341 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
344 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
346 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
350 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
351 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
355 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
357 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
362 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
366 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
367 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
371 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
373 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
377 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
378 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
382 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
383 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
387 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
388 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
390 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
394 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
395 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
396 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
399 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
403 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
404 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
405 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
406 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
408 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
412 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
413 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
414 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
418 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
421 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
426 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
427 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
431 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
432 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
434 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
435 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
436 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
437 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
439 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
443 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
447 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
448 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
450 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
451 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
452 - Moose::Util::does_role
453 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
454 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
455 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
457 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
461 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
462 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
463 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
466 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
470 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
471 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
474 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
478 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
479 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
482 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
486 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
488 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
489 class. (Dave Rolsky).
491 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
492 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
493 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
495 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
496 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
497 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
500 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
501 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
503 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
504 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
505 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
507 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
509 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
510 substr et al, again. (sorear)
512 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
514 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
517 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
518 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
520 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
521 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
523 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
524 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
525 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
526 dependencies installed.
528 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
529 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
532 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
534 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
538 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
541 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
542 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
544 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
545 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
546 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
548 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
549 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
552 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
553 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
554 others. (nothingmuch)
556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
557 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
558 remove_accessors. (doy)
560 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
561 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
562 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
565 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
567 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
569 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
570 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
573 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
574 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
576 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
577 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
579 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
581 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
582 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
586 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
587 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
588 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
589 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
591 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
594 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
595 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
596 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
597 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
600 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
601 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
602 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
603 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
604 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
606 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
607 which were not receiving the value of
608 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
609 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
610 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
611 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
615 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
616 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
617 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
618 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
619 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
622 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
623 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
624 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
625 - added tests for this (Stevan)
628 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
629 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
630 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
633 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
635 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
637 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
638 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
639 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
642 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
643 class if you pass it options for
644 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
645 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
646 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
647 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
648 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
649 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
650 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
651 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
652 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
654 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
655 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
656 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
657 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
658 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
661 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
663 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
664 existing delegation API. (hdp)
666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
667 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
668 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
669 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
670 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
671 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
674 * Moose::Error::Croak
675 * Moose::Error::Confess
676 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
677 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
680 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
683 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
684 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
685 installing a broken sub. (doy)
688 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
691 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
692 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
693 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
695 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
696 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
697 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
698 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
699 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
701 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
702 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
705 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
707 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
708 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
711 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
712 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
716 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
717 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
720 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
721 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
722 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
723 using it for new code!
725 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
726 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
727 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
728 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
730 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
731 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
732 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
733 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
734 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
735 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
736 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
737 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
740 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
743 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
744 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
747 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
748 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
751 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
752 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
755 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
756 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
757 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
760 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
761 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
764 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
765 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
768 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
769 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
770 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
771 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
772 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
773 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
775 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
777 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
781 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
782 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
784 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
785 associated_methods. (hdp)
786 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
787 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
788 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
789 misspelled) arguments
791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
792 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
793 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
794 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
797 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
798 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
800 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
804 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
805 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
808 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
809 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
811 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
813 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
814 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
816 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
817 * Moose::Manual::Types
818 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
819 string parsing rathole (mst)
821 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
822 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
823 using plain objects instead
825 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
826 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
829 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
831 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
832 three times today (perigrin)
833 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
834 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
837 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
838 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
839 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
842 - A role's required methods are now represented by
843 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
844 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
845 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
846 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
847 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
850 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
851 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
852 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
853 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
856 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
858 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
861 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
863 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
866 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
867 during global destruction. This method has been made more
868 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
872 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
873 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
876 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
877 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
879 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
880 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
881 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
884 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
886 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
887 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
890 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
894 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
895 methods during global destruction (doy)
898 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
899 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
903 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
904 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
907 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
908 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
911 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
912 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
914 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
916 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
920 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
921 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
922 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
925 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
926 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
927 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
930 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
932 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
933 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
934 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
938 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
939 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
940 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
942 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
943 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
944 of the Moose core (Sartak)
947 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
950 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
951 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
952 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
956 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
957 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
960 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
962 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
965 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
966 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
969 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
970 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
973 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
974 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
977 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
980 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
982 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
983 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
987 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
989 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
990 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
993 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
994 * More deprecations and renamings
995 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
996 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
997 when an object is constructed)
1000 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1001 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1002 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1004 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1005 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1006 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1007 feature, and it works again.
1010 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1012 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1014 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1015 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1016 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1019 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1020 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1021 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1022 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1025 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1026 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1027 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1028 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1031 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1032 metaclass object. (hdp)
1034 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1035 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1036 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1038 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1039 point out this fact. (hdp)
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1042 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1044 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1045 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1047 * Moose::Meta::Class
1048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1049 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1050 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1051 called during instance construction were passed the
1052 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1053 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1055 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1056 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1059 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1060 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1061 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1064 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1065 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1066 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1067 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1068 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1070 - Moose::Meta::Class
1071 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1073 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1074 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1075 when an object is constructed)
1076 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1078 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1079 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1080 when an object is constructed)
1081 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1082 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1083 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1086 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1088 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1089 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1091 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1093 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1094 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1095 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1098 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1099 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1101 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1104 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1106 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1107 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1110 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1111 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1114 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1115 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1116 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1119 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1123 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1124 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1125 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1128 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1131 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1132 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1133 with recommended workarounds.
1135 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1136 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1139 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1140 (yes, spelled like that).
1142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1143 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1145 * Moose::Meta::Class
1146 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1147 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1149 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1151 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1152 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1153 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1154 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1155 instead. Reported by doy.
1157 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1159 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1160 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1163 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1164 message) is now deprecated.
1165 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1166 often got it wrong. For example:
1168 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1170 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1174 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1175 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1176 bite you in weird cases.
1178 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1179 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1180 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1181 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1184 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1188 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1191 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1192 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1196 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1199 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1202 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1204 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1205 - added tests for this (stevan)
1207 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1208 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1209 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1210 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1214 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1215 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1216 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1217 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1219 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1220 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1221 - added tests for this (rafl)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1224 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1225 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1226 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1230 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1231 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1234 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1235 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1236 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1240 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1241 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1243 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1244 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1245 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1246 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1247 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1250 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1251 error message did not specify the attribute name
1254 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1256 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1258 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1259 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1260 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1263 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1266 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1268 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1269 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1270 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1271 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1273 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1275 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1276 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1277 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1278 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1280 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1281 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1282 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1285 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1286 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1287 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1288 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1291 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1292 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1293 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1294 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1297 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1298 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1299 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1300 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1301 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1303 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1304 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1305 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1306 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1307 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1308 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1311 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1313 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1314 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1315 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1316 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1319 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1322 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1326 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1327 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1330 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1331 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1332 guts. (nothingmuch).
1334 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1336 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1339 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1340 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1341 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1343 * Moose::Meta::Class
1344 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1347 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1348 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1351 * Moose::Unsweetened
1352 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1355 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1356 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1357 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1358 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1359 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1360 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1363 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1364 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1365 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1366 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1367 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1368 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1369 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1370 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1371 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1373 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1375 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1376 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1378 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1379 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1380 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1381 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1383 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1385 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1386 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1387 same methods for a single role did not work
1388 right (worked just fine with multiple
1390 - added test for this (stevan)
1392 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1393 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1394 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1397 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1398 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1399 - added test for this (t0m)
1402 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1403 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1404 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1407 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1408 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1409 - added test for this (t0m)
1411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1412 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1413 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1414 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1415 - added test for this (perigrin)
1418 - create method for constructing a role
1419 dynamically (Sartak)
1420 - added test for this (Sartak)
1421 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1422 - added test for this (Sartak)
1425 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1427 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1428 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1429 methods is useful (Sartak)
1431 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1433 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1436 * Moose::Meta::Class
1437 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1438 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1439 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1440 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1441 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1442 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1445 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1446 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1448 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1449 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1450 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1451 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1452 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1454 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1456 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1457 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1458 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1461 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1462 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1463 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1464 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1465 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1466 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1469 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1470 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1471 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1472 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1473 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1474 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1475 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1476 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1477 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1478 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1479 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1482 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1486 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1487 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1488 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1489 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1491 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1493 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1494 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1495 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1498 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1500 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1501 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1502 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1503 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1506 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1507 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1509 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1511 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1512 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1514 * Moose::Meta::Class
1515 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1516 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1517 a required attribute
1519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1521 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1522 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1525 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1528 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1529 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1530 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1531 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1532 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1533 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1534 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1536 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1537 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1538 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1540 * Roles and role application
1541 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1542 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1543 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1544 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1545 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1547 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1548 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1551 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1552 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1553 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1554 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1555 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1558 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1559 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1560 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1561 changes in the Moose internals.
1563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1565 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1569 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1570 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1571 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1574 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1575 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1576 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1579 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1580 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1581 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1582 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1583 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1584 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1585 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1586 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1587 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1588 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1589 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1590 constraint implementations.
1592 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1596 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1597 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1598 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1599 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1600 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1601 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 - added tests for this (rafl)
1604 * Moose::Meta::Class
1605 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1606 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1607 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1608 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1609 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1610 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1611 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1615 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1616 - added tests for this (thepler)
1618 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1619 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1620 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1621 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1624 * Moose::Meta::Class
1625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1626 * Moose::Meta::Method
1629 * Moose::Error::Default
1630 * Moose::Error::Croak
1631 * Moose::Error::Confess
1632 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1633 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1634 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1635 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1636 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1637 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1639 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1641 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1642 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1644 * Moose::Unsweetened
1645 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1646 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1647 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1650 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1651 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1652 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1653 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1656 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1657 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1659 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1660 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1661 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1662 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1665 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1667 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1668 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1670 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1673 - Various bug fixes.
1675 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1676 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1678 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1680 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1681 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1682 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1683 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1684 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1685 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1688 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1689 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1691 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1692 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1693 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1696 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1697 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1698 dependency to 0.64_07.
1700 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1701 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1702 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1705 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1709 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1710 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1711 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1712 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1713 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1715 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1716 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1718 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1720 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1721 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1725 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1726 method when that method was provided by another role being
1727 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1728 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1730 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1732 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1733 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1736 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1737 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1738 - added test for this (t0m)
1740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1741 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1742 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1744 - added test for this (t0m)
1747 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1748 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1749 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1752 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1753 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1755 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1757 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1758 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1761 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1762 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1765 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1770 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1771 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1775 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1776 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1777 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1781 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1782 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1783 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1786 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1790 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1791 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1792 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1794 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1796 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1797 created so that the process can be more easily
1798 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1800 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1801 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1802 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1803 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1806 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1809 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1810 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1813 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1814 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1817 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1818 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1820 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1821 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1823 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1824 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1828 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1832 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1833 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1835 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1836 ... this is not my day today ...
1838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1839 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1840 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1841 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1842 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1845 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1846 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1847 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1848 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1849 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1852 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1854 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1855 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1856 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1857 this is not ever something you want to do
1858 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1859 - added tests for this (stevan)
1862 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1864 - added test for this
1866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1867 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1868 - added tests for this (wreis)
1870 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1871 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1872 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1873 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1876 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1877 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1880 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1882 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1884 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1887 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1888 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1889 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1890 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1891 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1892 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1893 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1894 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 - added tests for this
1897 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1898 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1899 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1900 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1902 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1905 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1906 - added tests for this (sartak)
1907 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1908 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1911 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1913 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1914 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1918 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1919 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1921 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1923 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1924 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1927 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1928 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1929 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1932 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1933 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1935 - added docs for this (TODO).
1936 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1937 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1938 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1939 - fix builder and default both being used
1944 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1946 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1947 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1948 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1952 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1956 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1957 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1958 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1961 - move the ClassName type check code to
1962 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1964 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1965 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1967 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1968 (early morning release engineering)--
1970 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1971 which was causing the indexer to choke
1973 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1974 (late night release engineering)--
1976 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1977 changes in this release
1979 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1980 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1981 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1983 * Moose::Meta::Class
1984 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1985 since it is called so often by &meta
1987 * Moose::Meta::Class
1989 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1990 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1994 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1995 method for immutablization to check if the
1996 destructor object even needs to be created
1999 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2000 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2001 - added more descriptive error message to help
2002 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2003 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2005 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2007 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2008 XS based functionality is now optional
2009 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2010 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2011 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2013 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2014 to take care of this, mostly we added
2015 support for the package_name and name
2016 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2017 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2018 support regexp matching of names
2019 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2020 - tests added for this
2021 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2022 is currently not supported in roles,
2023 but, ... patches welcome
2024 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2025 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2026 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2029 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2030 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2031 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2032 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2033 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2034 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2035 - added test for this
2037 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2038 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2039 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2042 * Moose::Meta::Class
2043 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2047 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2049 - added tests for this
2050 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2051 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2054 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2055 themselves parameterizable types
2057 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2114 drink more coffee before
2115 doing release engineering
2117 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2232 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2234 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2235 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2278 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2279 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2572 when they encounter overriden or modified
2573 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2574 - added tests for this
2576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2577 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2578 the | always creates a union and so is

2584 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2587 * Parameterized Types
2588 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2589 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2590 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2591 They can also be nested:
2592 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2593 And work with the type unions as well:
2594 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2596 * Better Framework Extendability
2597 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2598 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2599 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2600 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2603 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2604 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2605 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2606 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2743 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2744 (but not changing the handles option)
2745 - added tests and docs for this
2748 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2749 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2750 - adjusted tests for this
2752 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2754 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
2755 * Moose::Meta::Class
2756 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2757 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2759 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2760 the other side (perigrin)
2762 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2764 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2765 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2766 prototypes for functions
2767 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2768 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2769 - added tests and docs for this
2770 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2771 default for where be { 1 }

2776 merlyn for finding this bug
2777 - tests added for this
2778 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2781 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2782 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2783 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2784 - added tests for this
2786 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2788 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2804 * Moose::Meta::Class
2805 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2806 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2807 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2809 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2810 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2812 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2813 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2814 so this release is just to fix that.
2817 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2818 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2819 (thanks to konobi for this)
2820 - added tests and docs

2830 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2831 functions to facilitate introspection.
2833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2834 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2835 to build the list of delegated methods
2836 correctly (and not override important
2837 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2839 - added tests and docs for this
2840 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2841 so that you can actually document your
2842 attributes and inspect them through the
2844 - added tests and docs for this
2846 * Moose::Meta::Class
2847 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2848 it will first look in for the class in the
2849 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2850 then default to just loading $name.
2851 - added tests and docs for this
2853 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2854 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2855 - added test for this
2858 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2859 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2860 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2861 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2863 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2864 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2867 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2869 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2870 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2871 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2874 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2875 !! for this developer release to work !!
2877 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2878 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2879 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2880 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2881 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2882 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2883 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2884 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2885 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2886 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2887 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2889 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2890 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2891 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2892 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2895 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2896 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2897 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2898 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2899 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2901 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2903 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2904 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2907 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2908 called unless they actually need to be.
2909 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2910 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2911 DEMOLISH method present.
2913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2914 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2915 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2916 type constraint, which allows for a
2917 hand optimized version of the type
2918 constraint to be used when possible.
2919 - Any internally created type constraints
2920 now provide an optimized version as well.
2922 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2924 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2925 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2926 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2929 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2930 your class namespace of these exported
2933 * Moose::Meta::Class
2934 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2935 comes up during global destruction
2937 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2941 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2945 - changed how we do type checks so that
2946 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2949 - moved accessor generation methods to
2950 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2951 conform to the API changes from
2954 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2955 - changed how constraints are compiled
2956 so that we do less recursion and more
2957 iteration. This makes the type check
2959 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2962 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2963 - created this from methods formerly found in
2964 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2966 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2967 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2969 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2970 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2973 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2975 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2977 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2978 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2979 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2980 - added tests for this
2981 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2982 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2983 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2984 - removed tests for this
2986 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2988 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2989 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2990 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2993 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2994 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2995 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2997 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2998 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2999 comments for more info.
3002 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3003 asked questions and common problems
3005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3006 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3007 - added tests for this
3009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3010 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3011 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3012 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3014 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3015 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3018 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3019 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3020 is much appreciated :)
3021 - added tests for this
3023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3024 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3025 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3029 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3031 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3033 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3034 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3038 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3039 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3040 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3042 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3044 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3047 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3048 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3049 keywords because we need to localize them.
3050 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3052 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3053 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3054 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3057 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3060 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3061 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3062 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3065 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3066 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3067 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3069 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3071 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3072 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3073 bottom of your class file.
3076 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3079 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3081 - improved error message when loading modules so
3082 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3083 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3084 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3087 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3088 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3089 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3091 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3092 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3094 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3095 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3096 turn them on for you.
3097 - added tests for this

3126 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3127 - This release works in combination with
3128 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3129 release because it uses the a new
3130 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3131 complete Role implementation. It has
3132 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3133 the the previous CPAN version. This
3134 release also lacks good updated docs,
3135 the official release will have updated docs.
3138 - refactored the keyword exports
3139 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3140 accepts more than one Role at a time

3151 string enumerations which can be used as
3153 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3156 - more careful checking of params to new()
3159 - much work done on the role composition
3160 - many new tests for conflict detection
3161 and composition edge cases
3162 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3163 looking at the tests
3165 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3166 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3167 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3188 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3189 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3190 on a per-attribute basis
3191 - added tests for this
3192 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3193 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3194 experimental feature and probably not finished

3196 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3197 - added tests for this
