1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
6 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
9 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
11 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
12 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
15 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
19 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
20 methods during global destruction (doy)
23 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
24 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
28 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
29 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
32 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
33 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
36 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
37 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
41 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
45 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
46 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
47 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
50 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
51 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
52 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
55 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
56 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
59 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
60 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
61 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
64 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
65 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
66 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
67 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
69 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
70 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
71 of the Moose core (Sartak)
74 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
77 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
78 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
79 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
83 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
84 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
87 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
89 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
92 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
93 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
96 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
97 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
100 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
101 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
104 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
107 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
110 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
114 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
117 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
120 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
121 * More deprecations and renamings
122 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
123 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
124 when an object is constructed)
127 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
128 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
129 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
132 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
133 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
134 feature, and it works again.
137 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
139 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
141 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
142 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
143 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
146 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
147 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
148 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
149 message. Test provided by perigrin.
151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
152 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
153 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
154 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
155 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
158 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
159 metaclass object. (hdp)
161 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
162 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
163 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
164 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
165 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
166 point out this fact. (hdp)
168 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
169 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
171 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
172 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
176 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
177 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
178 called during instance construction were passed the
179 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
180 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
182 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
183 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
186 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
187 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
188 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
191 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
192 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
193 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
194 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
195 them, but they are not for "public" use.
198 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
200 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
201 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
202 when an object is constructed)
203 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
205 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
206 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
207 when an object is constructed)
208 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
209 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
210 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
213 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
215 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
216 * No changes from 0.72_01.
218 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
220 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
221 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
222 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
224 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
225 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
226 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
228 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
230 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
231 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
233 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
234 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
237 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
238 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
241 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
242 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
243 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
246 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
250 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
251 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
252 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
255 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
258 * Moose::Manual::Delta
259 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
260 with recommended workarounds.
262 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
263 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
266 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
267 (yes, spelled like that).
269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
270 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
273 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
274 changes in latest Class::MOP.
276 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
279 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
280 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
281 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
282 instead. Reported by doy.
284 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
286 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
287 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
289 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
290 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
291 message) is now deprecated.
292 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
293 often got it wrong. For example:
295 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
297 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
301 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
302 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
303 bite you in weird cases.
305 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
306 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
307 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
310 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
311 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
315 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
318 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
319 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
322 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
323 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
325 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
326 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
329 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
330 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
331 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
332 - added tests for this (stevan)
334 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
335 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
336 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
337 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
341 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
342 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
343 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
344 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
346 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
347 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
348 - added tests for this (rafl)
350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
351 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
352 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
353 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
357 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
358 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
361 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
362 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
363 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
365 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
367 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
368 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
371 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
372 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
373 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
374 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
377 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
378 error message did not specify the attribute name
381 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
383 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
385 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
386 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
387 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
390 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
393 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
395 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
396 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
397 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
398 of fixes and formatting improvements.
400 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
402 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
403 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
404 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
405 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
407 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
408 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
409 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
412 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
413 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
414 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
415 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
418 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
419 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
420 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
421 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
424 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
425 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
426 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
427 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
428 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
430 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
431 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
432 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
433 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
434 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
435 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
438 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
440 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
441 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
442 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
443 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
445 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
446 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
449 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
453 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
454 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
456 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
457 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
458 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
461 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
462 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
463 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
466 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
467 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
468 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
471 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
474 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
475 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
477 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
479 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
482 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
483 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
484 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
485 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
486 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
487 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
489 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
490 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
491 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
492 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
493 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
494 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
495 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
496 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
497 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
498 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
500 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
502 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
503 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
506 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
507 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
508 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
510 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
511 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
512 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
513 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
514 same methods for a single role did not work
515 right (worked just fine with multiple
517 - added test for this (stevan)
519 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
520 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
521 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
524 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
525 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
526 - added test for this (t0m)
529 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
530 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
531 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
534 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
535 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
536 - added test for this (t0m)
538 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
539 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
540 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
541 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
542 - added test for this (perigrin)
545 - create method for constructing a role
547 - added test for this (Sartak)
548 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
549 - added test for this (Sartak)
552 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
554 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
555 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
556 methods is useful (Sartak)
558 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
560 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
564 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
565 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
566 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
567 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
568 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
569 - added tests for this (jdv79)
572 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
573 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
575 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
576 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
577 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
578 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
579 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
581 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
583 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
584 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
585 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
588 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
589 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
590 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
591 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
592 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
593 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
597 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
598 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
599 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
600 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
601 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
602 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
603 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
604 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
605 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
606 future. (jnapiorkowski)
608 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
609 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
612 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
613 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
614 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
615 type. (jnapiorkowski)
616 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
618 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
620 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
621 predicate, and link to more details sections in
622 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
625 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
627 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
628 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
629 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
630 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
633 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
634 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
636 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
638 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
639 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
642 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
643 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
646 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
647 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
648 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
649 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
651 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
652 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
655 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
656 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
657 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
658 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
659 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
660 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
661 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
663 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
664 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
665 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
667 * Roles and role application
668 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
669 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
670 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
671 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
672 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
674 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
675 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
678 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
679 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
680 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
681 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
682 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
685 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
686 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
687 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
688 changes in the Moose internals.
690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
692 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
695 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
696 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
697 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
698 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
701 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
702 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
703 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
706 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
707 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
708 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
709 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
710 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
711 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
712 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
713 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
714 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
715 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
716 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
717 constraint implementations.
719 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
723 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
724 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
725 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
726 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
727 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
728 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
729 - added tests for this (rafl)
732 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
733 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
734 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
735 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
736 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
737 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
738 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
739 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
742 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
743 - added tests for this (thepler)
745 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
746 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
747 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
748 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
753 * Moose::Meta::Method
756 * Moose::Error::Default
757 * Moose::Error::Croak
758 * Moose::Error::Confess
759 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
760 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
761 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
762 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
763 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
764 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
766 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
768 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
769 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
772 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
773 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
774 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
777 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
778 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
779 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
780 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
783 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
784 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
786 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
787 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
788 several major changes in this release of Moose.
789 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
792 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
794 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
795 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

815 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
816 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

829 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
832 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
835 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
836 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
837 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
838 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
839 coincidental exception. (t0m).
840 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
843 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
845 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
847 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
848 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
852 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
853 method when that method was provided by another role being

864 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
865 - added test for this (t0m)
867 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
868 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
869 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
871 - added test for this (t0m)
874 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
875 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
876 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
880 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
882 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
884 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
887 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
888 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
889 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
891 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
892 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
895 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
896 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
897 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
898 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
902 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
903 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
904 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

908 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
909 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
910 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
913 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
917 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
933 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
936 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
937 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
939 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
940 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
941 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

959 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
960 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
962 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
963 ... this is not my day today ...
965 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
966 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
967 clone_and_inherit options still works for
968 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
969 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
972 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
973 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
974 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
975 in this release, except the fact that it includes
976 the changes that I didn't include in the last
979 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
981 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
982 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
983 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
984 this is not ever something you want to do
985 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
986 - added tests for this (stevan)
989 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)

1011 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1014 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1015 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1016 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1017 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1018 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1019 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1020 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1021 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 - added tests for this
1024 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1025 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1026 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1027 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1029 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1098 which was causing the indexer to choke
1100 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1101 (late night release engineering)--
1103 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1104 changes in this release
1106 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1107 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1108 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1110 * Moose::Meta::Class

1112 since it is called so often by &meta
1114 * Moose::Meta::Class

1117 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1121 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1122 method for immutablization to check if the
1123 destructor object even needs to be created
1126 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1127 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1128 - added more descriptive error message to help
1129 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1130 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1132 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1134 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1135 XS based functionality is now optional
1136 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1137 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1138 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1140 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1141 to take care of this, mostly we added
1142 support for the package_name and name
1143 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1144 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1145 support regexp matching of names
1146 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1147 - tests added for this
1148 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1149 is currently not supported in roles,
1150 but, ... patches welcome

1157 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1158 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1159 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1160 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1161 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1162 - added test for this
1164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1165 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1166 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the

1186 called by the inlined immutable
1188 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1190 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1191 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1192 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1193 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1195 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1196 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1200 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1201 causing occasional cpantester failures
1202 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1203 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1205 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1207 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1208 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1211 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1212 ->body when looping through the
1213 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1215 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1216 eating the $@ values, and so not
1217 working correctly, it still kind of
1218 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1219 - added tests for this
1221 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1222 - added new recipe for immutable
1223 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1237 since Module::Install has done that.
1239 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1241 drink more coffee before
1242 doing release engineering
1244 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1245 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1246 modules. This fixes that.

1359 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1361 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1362 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1363 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

1366 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

1388 - added tests for this
1390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1405 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1406 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1407 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1409 - added more delegation tests
1410 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1411 support traits and their introspection.
1412 - added tests for this

1652 - added tests for this
1655 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1656 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1698 - fixed how required methods are handled
1699 when they encounter overriden or modified
1700 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1701 - added tests for this
1703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1704 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1705 the | always creates a union and so is
1706 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1707 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1709 - added more tests for this
1711 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1714 * Parameterized Types
1715 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1716 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1717 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1718 They can also be nested:
1719 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1720 And work with the type unions as well:
1721 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1723 * Better Framework Extendability
1724 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1725 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1726 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1727 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1730 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1731 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1732 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1733 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1736 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1738 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1739 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

1892 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1893 prototypes for functions
1894 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings

1967 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1968 so that you can actually document your
1969 attributes and inspect them through the

1973 * Moose::Meta::Class
1974 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1975 it will first look in for the class in the
1976 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1977 then default to just loading $name.
1978 - added tests and docs for this
1980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1981 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1982 - added test for this

1987 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1988 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1990 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1991 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1994 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1996 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1997 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1998 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2001 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2002 !! for this developer release to work !!
2004 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2005 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2006 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2007 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2008 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2009 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2010 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2011 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2012 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2013 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2014 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2016 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2017 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2018 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2019 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2022 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2024 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2025 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2026 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2028 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2030 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2031 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2034 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2035 called unless they actually need to be.
2036 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2037 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2038 DEMOLISH method present.
2040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2041 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2042 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2043 type constraint, which allows for a
2044 hand optimized version of the type
2045 constraint to be used when possible.
2046 - Any internally created type constraints
2047 now provide an optimized version as well.
2049 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2051 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2052 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2053 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2056 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2057 your class namespace of these exported
2060 * Moose::Meta::Class
2061 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2062 comes up during global destruction
2064 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2068 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2071 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2072 - changed how we do type checks so that
2073 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2076 - moved accessor generation methods to
2077 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2078 conform to the API changes from
2081 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2082 - changed how constraints are compiled
2083 so that we do less recursion and more
2084 iteration. This makes the type check
2086 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2089 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2090 - created this from methods formerly found in
2091 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2093 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2094 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2096 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2097 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2100 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2102 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2105 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2106 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2107 - added tests for this
2108 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2109 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2110 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2111 - removed tests for this
2113 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2115 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2116 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2117 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2120 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2121 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2122 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2124 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2125 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2126 comments for more info.
2129 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2130 asked questions and common problems
2132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2133 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2134 - added tests for this
2136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2137 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2138 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2139 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2141 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2142 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2145 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2146 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2147 is much appreciated :)
2148 - added tests for this
2150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2151 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2152 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2155 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2156 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2158 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2160 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2161 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2165 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2166 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2167 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2169 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2171 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2174 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2175 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2176 keywords because we need to localize them.
2177 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2179 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2180 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2181 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2184 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2187 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2188 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2189 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2192 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2193 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2194 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2196 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2198 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2199 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2200 bottom of your class file.
2203 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2206 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2208 - improved error message when loading modules so
2209 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2210 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2211 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2214 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2215 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2216 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2218 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2219 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2221 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2222 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2223 turn them on for you.
2224 - added tests for this
2225 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2226 in Moose::Meta::Class
2229 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2230 automatically turned on for you.

2252 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2253 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2254 - This release works in combination with
2255 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2256 release because it uses the a new
2257 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2258 complete Role implementation. It has
2259 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2260 the the previous CPAN version. This
2261 release also lacks good updated docs,
2262 the official release will have updated docs.
2265 - refactored the keyword exports
2266 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2267 accepts more than one Role at a time
2268 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2269 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2272 - refactored the keyword exports
2273 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2274 accepts more than one Role at a time
2276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2277 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2278 string enumerations which can be used as
2280 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2283 - more careful checking of params to new()
2286 - much work done on the role composition
2287 - many new tests for conflict detection
2288 and composition edge cases
2289 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2290 looking at the tests
2292 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2293 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2294 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2296 * Moose::Meta::Class
2297 - some small changes to support the new
2299 - some small additions to support Roles
2301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2302 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2304 - some small changes to support the new
2306 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2307 with the 'handles' option
2308 - added several tests for this
2309 - no docs for this yet
2311 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2313 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2314 thanks to chansen for this commit
2315 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2316 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2317 on a per-attribute basis
2318 - added tests for this
2319 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2320 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2321 experimental feature and probably not finished
2322 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2323 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2324 - added tests for this

2386 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2388 - added test for this
