1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
9 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
10 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
11 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
17 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
18 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
21 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
25 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
26 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
28 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
29 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
33 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
34 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
35 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
36 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
37 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
38 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
40 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
41 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
43 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
44 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
45 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
48 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
49 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
56 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
57 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
59 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
63 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
64 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
65 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
67 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
71 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
72 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
73 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
75 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
76 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
79 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
80 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
83 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
84 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
85 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
87 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
88 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
93 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
94 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
95 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
98 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
99 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
101 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
102 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
104 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
105 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
106 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
107 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
109 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
110 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
111 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
114 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
115 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
116 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
117 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
120 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
123 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
124 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
125 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
127 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
131 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
132 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
133 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
135 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
136 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
137 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
140 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
141 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
142 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
144 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
145 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
146 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
148 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
149 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
153 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
154 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
155 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
157 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
158 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
159 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
160 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
162 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
167 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
168 value is a reference.
170 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
171 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
173 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
177 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
178 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
179 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
181 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
185 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
186 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
190 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
191 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
192 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
194 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
195 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
196 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
198 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
202 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
204 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
208 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
210 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
211 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
216 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
217 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
219 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
220 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
221 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
222 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
223 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
225 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
226 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
227 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
228 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
230 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
234 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
235 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
240 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
242 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
244 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
249 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
251 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
255 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
256 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
257 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
259 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
260 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
261 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
262 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
264 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
265 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
266 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
267 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
268 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
271 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
276 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
277 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
278 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
279 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
280 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
283 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
287 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
290 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
291 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
295 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
296 function (not just method). (doy)
300 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
301 and aren't easily installable/testable.
303 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
307 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
308 to be overridden more easily (doy).
310 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
314 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
315 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
317 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
321 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
322 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
323 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
325 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
329 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
330 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
331 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
333 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
334 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
338 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
339 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
341 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
342 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
346 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
347 is applied to a class (t0m).
349 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
350 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
352 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
355 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
356 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
358 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
359 be much more robust. (doy)
361 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
363 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
366 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
370 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
371 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
373 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
377 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
378 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
380 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
383 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
384 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
385 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
387 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
388 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
389 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
392 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
394 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
398 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
399 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
403 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
405 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
410 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
414 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
415 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
419 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
421 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
425 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
426 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
430 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
431 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
435 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
436 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
438 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
442 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
443 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
444 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
447 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
451 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
452 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
453 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
454 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
456 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
460 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
461 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
462 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
466 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
469 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
474 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
475 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
479 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
480 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
482 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
483 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
484 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
485 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
487 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
491 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
495 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
496 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
498 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
499 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
500 - Moose::Util::does_role
501 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
502 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
503 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
505 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
510 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
511 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
514 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
518 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
519 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
522 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
526 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
527 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
530 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
534 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
536 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
537 class. (Dave Rolsky).
539 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
540 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
541 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
543 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
544 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
545 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
548 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
549 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
551 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
552 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
553 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
555 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
557 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
558 substr et al, again. (sorear)
560 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
562 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
565 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
566 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
568 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
569 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
571 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
572 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
573 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
574 dependencies installed.
576 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
577 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
580 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
582 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
586 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
589 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
590 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
593 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
594 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
596 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
597 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
600 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
601 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
602 others. (nothingmuch)
604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
605 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
606 remove_accessors. (doy)
608 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
609 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
610 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
612 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
613 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
615 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
617 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
618 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
621 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
622 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
625 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
627 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
629 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
630 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
633 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
634 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
635 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
636 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
637 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
639 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
642 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
643 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
644 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
645 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
648 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
649 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
650 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
651 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
652 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
654 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
655 which were not receiving the value of
656 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
657 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
658 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
659 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
663 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
664 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
665 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
666 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
667 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
671 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
672 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
673 - added tests for this (Stevan)
676 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
677 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
678 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
681 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
683 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
686 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
687 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
690 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
691 class if you pass it options for
692 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
693 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
694 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
695 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
696 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
697 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
698 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
699 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
700 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
702 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
703 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
704 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
705 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
706 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
709 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
711 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
712 existing delegation API. (hdp)
714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
715 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
716 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
717 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
718 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
719 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
722 * Moose::Error::Croak
723 * Moose::Error::Confess
724 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
725 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
728 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
731 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
732 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
733 installing a broken sub. (doy)
736 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
739 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
740 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
741 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
743 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
744 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
745 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
746 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
747 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
750 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
753 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
755 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
756 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
759 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
760 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
762 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
764 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
765 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
768 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
769 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
770 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
771 using it for new code!
773 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
774 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
775 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
776 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
778 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
779 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
780 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
781 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
782 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
783 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
784 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
785 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
788 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
791 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
792 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
796 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
799 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
800 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
804 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
805 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
808 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
809 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
812 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
813 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
816 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
817 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
818 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
819 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
820 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
821 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
823 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
825 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
828 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
829 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
830 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
832 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
833 associated_methods. (hdp)
834 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
835 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
836 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
837 misspelled) arguments
839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
840 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
841 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
842 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
846 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
848 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
852 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
853 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
856 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
857 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
859 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
861 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
862 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
864 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
865 * Moose::Manual::Types
866 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
867 string parsing rathole (mst)
869 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
870 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
871 using plain objects instead
873 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
874 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
877 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
879 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
880 three times today (perigrin)
881 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
882 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
884 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
885 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
886 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
887 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
890 - A role's required methods are now represented by
891 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
892 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
893 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
894 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
895 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
898 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
899 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
900 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
901 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
904 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
906 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
909 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
911 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
914 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
915 during global destruction. This method has been made more
916 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
920 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
921 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
924 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
925 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
927 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
928 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
929 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
932 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
934 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
935 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
938 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
942 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
943 methods during global destruction (doy)
946 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
947 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
951 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
952 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
955 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
956 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
959 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
960 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
962 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
964 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
968 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
969 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
970 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
973 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
974 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
975 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
978 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
980 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
982 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
985 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
986 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
987 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
988 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
990 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
991 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
992 of the Moose core (Sartak)
995 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
998 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
999 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1000 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1004 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1005 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Class
1008 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1010 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1012 * Moose::Meta::Class
1013 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1014 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1017 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1018 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1021 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1022 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1025 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1028 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1031 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1034 * Moose::Meta::Class
1035 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1037 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1038 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1041 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1042 * More deprecations and renamings
1043 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1044 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1045 when an object is constructed)
1048 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1049 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1050 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1053 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1054 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1055 feature, and it works again.
1058 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1060 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1062 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1063 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1064 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1067 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1068 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1069 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1070 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1073 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1074 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1075 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1076 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1079 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1080 metaclass object. (hdp)
1082 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1085 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1086 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1087 point out this fact. (hdp)
1089 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1090 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1092 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1093 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1095 * Moose::Meta::Class
1096 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1097 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1098 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1099 called during instance construction were passed the
1100 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1101 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1103 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1104 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1107 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1108 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1109 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1112 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1113 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1114 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1115 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1116 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1118 - Moose::Meta::Class
1119 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1121 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1122 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1123 when an object is constructed)
1124 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1126 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1127 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1128 when an object is constructed)
1129 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1130 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1131 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1134 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1136 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1137 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1139 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1141 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1142 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1143 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1146 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1147 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1149 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1152 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1155 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1158 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1159 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1162 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1163 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1164 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1166 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1167 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1171 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1172 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1173 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1176 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1179 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1180 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1181 with recommended workarounds.
1183 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1184 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1187 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1188 (yes, spelled like that).
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1191 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1193 * Moose::Meta::Class
1194 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1195 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1197 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1200 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1201 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1202 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1203 instead. Reported by doy.
1205 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1207 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1208 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1210 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1211 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1212 message) is now deprecated.
1213 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1214 often got it wrong. For example:
1216 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1218 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1222 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1223 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1224 bite you in weird cases.
1226 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1228 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1229 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1231 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1232 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1236 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1239 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1240 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1243 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1244 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1247 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1250 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1252 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1253 - added tests for this (stevan)
1255 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1256 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1257 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1258 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1262 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1263 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1264 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1265 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1267 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1268 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1269 - added tests for this (rafl)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1272 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1273 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1274 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1278 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1279 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1283 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1284 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1288 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1289 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1291 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1292 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1293 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1294 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1295 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1298 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1299 error message did not specify the attribute name
1302 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1304 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1306 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1307 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1308 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1311 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1314 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1316 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1317 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1318 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1319 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1321 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1323 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1324 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1325 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1326 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1329 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1330 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1332 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1333 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1334 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1335 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1336 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1339 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1340 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1341 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1342 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1345 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1346 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1347 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1348 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1349 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1351 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1352 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1353 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1354 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1355 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1356 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1359 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1361 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1362 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1363 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1364 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1367 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1370 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1374 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1375 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1378 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1379 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1380 guts. (nothingmuch).
1382 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1384 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1387 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1388 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1389 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1391 * Moose::Meta::Class
1392 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1395 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1396 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1398 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1399 * Moose::Unsweetened
1400 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1403 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1404 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1405 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1406 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1407 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1408 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1411 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1412 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1413 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1414 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1415 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1416 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1417 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1418 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1419 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1421 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1423 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1424 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1427 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1428 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1429 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1432 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1433 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1434 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1435 same methods for a single role did not work
1436 right (worked just fine with multiple
1438 - added test for this (stevan)
1440 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1441 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1442 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1445 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1446 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1447 - added test for this (t0m)
1450 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1451 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1452 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1454 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1455 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1456 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1457 - added test for this (t0m)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1460 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1461 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1462 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1463 - added test for this (perigrin)
1466 - create method for constructing a role
1467 dynamically (Sartak)
1468 - added test for this (Sartak)
1469 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1470 - added test for this (Sartak)
1473 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1475 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1476 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1477 methods is useful (Sartak)
1479 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1481 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1484 * Moose::Meta::Class
1485 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1486 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1487 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1488 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1489 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1490 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1493 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1494 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1496 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1497 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1498 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1499 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1500 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1502 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1504 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1505 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1506 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1509 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1510 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1511 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1512 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1513 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1514 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1518 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1519 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1520 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1521 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1522 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1523 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1524 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1525 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1526 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1527 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1529 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1530 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1533 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1534 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1535 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1536 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1537 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1539 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1541 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1542 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1543 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1546 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1549 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1550 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1551 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1554 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1555 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1557 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1559 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1560 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1562 * Moose::Meta::Class
1563 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1564 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1565 a required attribute
1567 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1569 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1570 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1573 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1576 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1577 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1578 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1579 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1580 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1581 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1582 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1584 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1585 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1586 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1588 * Roles and role application
1589 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1590 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1591 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1592 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1593 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1595 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1596 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1600 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1601 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1602 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1603 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1606 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1607 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1608 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1609 changes in the Moose internals.
1611 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1612 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1613 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1616 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1617 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1618 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1619 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1621 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1622 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1623 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1624 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1627 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1628 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1629 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1630 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1631 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1632 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1633 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1634 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1635 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1636 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1637 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1638 constraint implementations.
1640 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1644 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1645 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1646 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1647 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1648 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1649 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 - added tests for this (rafl)
1652 * Moose::Meta::Class
1653 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1654 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1655 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1656 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1657 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1658 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1659 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1663 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1664 - added tests for this (thepler)
1666 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1667 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1668 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1669 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1672 * Moose::Meta::Class
1673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1674 * Moose::Meta::Method
1677 * Moose::Error::Default
1678 * Moose::Error::Croak
1679 * Moose::Error::Confess
1680 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1681 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1682 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1683 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1684 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1685 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1687 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1689 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1690 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 * Moose::Unsweetened
1693 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1694 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1695 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1698 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1699 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1700 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1701 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1704 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1705 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1707 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1708 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1709 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1710 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1713 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1715 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1716 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1718 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1721 - Various bug fixes.
1723 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1724 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1726 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1728 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1729 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1731 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1732 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1733 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1736 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1737 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1739 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1741 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1744 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1745 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1746 dependency to 0.64_07.
1748 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1749 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1750 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1753 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1756 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1757 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1758 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1759 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1760 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1761 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1764 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1766 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1769 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1773 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1774 method when that method was provided by another role being
1775 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1778 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1780 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1781 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1784 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1785 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1786 - added test for this (t0m)
1788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1789 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1790 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1792 - added test for this (t0m)
1795 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1796 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1797 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1800 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1801 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1803 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1805 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1806 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1809 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1810 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1813 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1817 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1818 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1819 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1823 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1824 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1825 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1829 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1830 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1831 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1834 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1838 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1839 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1840 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1842 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1844 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1845 created so that the process can be more easily
1846 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1848 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1849 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1850 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1851 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1854 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1857 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1858 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1860 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1861 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1862 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1864 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1865 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1866 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1868 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1869 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1871 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1872 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1876 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1880 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1881 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1883 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1884 ... this is not my day today ...
1886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1887 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1888 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1889 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1890 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1893 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1894 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1895 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1896 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1897 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1900 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1902 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1903 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1904 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1905 this is not ever something you want to do
1906 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1907 - added tests for this (stevan)
1910 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1912 - added test for this
1914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1915 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1916 - added tests for this (wreis)
1918 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1919 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1920 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1921 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1924 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1925 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1928 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1930 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1932 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1935 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1936 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1937 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1938 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1939 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1940 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1941 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1942 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 - added tests for this
1945 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1946 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1947 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1948 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1950 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1953 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1954 - added tests for this (sartak)
1955 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1956 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1959 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1961 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1962 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1966 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1967 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1969 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1971 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1972 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1975 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1976 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1977 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1980 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1981 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1983 - added docs for this (TODO).
1984 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1985 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1986 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1987 - fix builder and default both being used
1992 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1994 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1995 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1996 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2000 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2004 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2005 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2006 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2008 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2009 - move the ClassName type check code to
2010 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2012 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2013 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2015 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2016 (early morning release engineering)--
2018 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2019 which was causing the indexer to choke
2021 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2022 (late night release engineering)--
2024 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2025 changes in this release
2027 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2028 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2029 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2031 * Moose::Meta::Class
2032 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2033 since it is called so often by &meta
2035 * Moose::Meta::Class
2037 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2038 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2042 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2043 method for immutablization to check if the
2044 destructor object even needs to be created
2047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2048 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2049 - added more descriptive error message to help
2050 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2051 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2053 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2055 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2056 XS based functionality is now optional
2057 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2058 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2059 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2061 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2062 to take care of this, mostly we added
2063 support for the package_name and name
2064 variables in all the Method metaclasses

2066 support regexp matching of names
2067 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2068 - tests added for this
2069 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2070 is currently not supported in roles,
2071 but, ... patches welcome
2072 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2073 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2074 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2077 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2078 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2079 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2080 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2081 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2082 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2083 - added test for this
2085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2129 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2132 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2133 ->body when looping through the
2134 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2136 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2137 eating the $@ values, and so not
2138 working correctly, it still kind of
2139 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2140 - added tests for this

2162 drink more coffee before
2163 doing release engineering
2165 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2280 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2282 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2326 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2327 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2619 - fixed how required methods are handled
2620 when they encounter overriden or modified
2621 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2622 - added tests for this
2624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2625 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2626 the | always creates a union and so is
2627 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2628 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2630 - added more tests for this
2632 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2635 * Parameterized Types
2636 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2637 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2638 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2639 They can also be nested:
2640 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2641 And work with the type unions as well:
2642 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2644 * Better Framework Extendability
2645 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2646 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2647 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2648 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2651 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2652 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2653 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2654 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2657 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~

2812 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2813 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2814 prototypes for functions
2815 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2816 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2826 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2829 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2830 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2831 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2832 - added tests for this
2834 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2836 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2862 so this release is just to fix that.
2865 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2866 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2867 (thanks to konobi for this)

2879 functions to facilitate introspection.
2881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2888 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2889 so that you can actually document your
2890 attributes and inspect them through the

2894 * Moose::Meta::Class
2895 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2896 it will first look in for the class in the
2897 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2898 then default to just loading $name.
2899 - added tests and docs for this
2901 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2902 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2903 - added test for this
2906 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2907 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2908 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2909 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2911 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2912 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2915 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2917 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2918 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2919 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2922 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2923 !! for this developer release to work !!
2925 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2926 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2927 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2928 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2929 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2930 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2931 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2932 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2933 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2934 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2935 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2937 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2938 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2939 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2940 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2943 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2945 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2946 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2947 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2949 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2951 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2952 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2955 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2956 called unless they actually need to be.
2957 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2958 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2959 DEMOLISH method present.
2961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2962 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2963 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2964 type constraint, which allows for a
2965 hand optimized version of the type
2966 constraint to be used when possible.
2967 - Any internally created type constraints
2968 now provide an optimized version as well.
2970 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2972 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2973 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2974 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2977 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2978 your class namespace of these exported
2981 * Moose::Meta::Class
2982 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2983 comes up during global destruction
2985 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2989 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2992 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2993 - changed how we do type checks so that
2994 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2997 - moved accessor generation methods to
2998 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2999 conform to the API changes from
3002 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3003 - changed how constraints are compiled
3004 so that we do less recursion and more
3005 iteration. This makes the type check
3007 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3011 - created this from methods formerly found in
3012 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3026 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3027 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3028 - added tests for this
3029 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3030 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3031 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3032 - removed tests for this
3034 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3036 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3037 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3038 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3041 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3042 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3043 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3045 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3046 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3047 comments for more info.
3050 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3051 asked questions and common problems
3053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3054 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3055 - added tests for this
3057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3058 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3059 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3060 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3062 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3063 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3066 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3067 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3068 is much appreciated :)
3069 - added tests for this
3071 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3072 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3073 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3076 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3077 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3079 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3081 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3082 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3086 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3087 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3088 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3090 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3092 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3095 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3096 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3097 keywords because we need to localize them.
3098 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3100 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3101 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3102 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3105 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3108 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3109 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3110 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3113 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3114 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3115 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3117 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3119 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3120 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3121 bottom of your class file.
3124 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3127 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3129 - improved error message when loading modules so
3130 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3131 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3132 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3135 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3136 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3137 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3140 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3142 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3143 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3144 turn them on for you.
3145 - added tests for this

3174 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3175 - This release works in combination with
3176 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3177 release because it uses the a new
3178 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3179 complete Role implementation. It has
3180 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3181 the the previous CPAN version. This
3182 release also lacks good updated docs,
3183 the official release will have updated docs.
3186 - refactored the keyword exports
3187 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3188 accepts more than one Role at a time

3194 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3195 accepts more than one Role at a time
3197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3199 string enumerations which can be used as
3201 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3204 - more careful checking of params to new()
3207 - much work done on the role composition
3208 - many new tests for conflict detection
3209 and composition edge cases
3210 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3211 looking at the tests
3213 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3214 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3215 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3236 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3237 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3238 on a per-attribute basis
3239 - added tests for this

3241 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3242 experimental feature and probably not finished

3244 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3245 - added tests for this
