1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
10 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
12 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
15 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
19 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
20 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
21 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
23 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
24 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
25 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
26 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
28 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
29 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
30 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
31 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
32 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
35 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
40 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
41 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
42 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
43 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
44 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
47 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
51 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
54 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
55 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
59 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
60 function (not just method). (doy)
64 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
65 and aren't easily installable/testable.
67 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
71 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
72 to be overridden more easily (doy).
74 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
78 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
79 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
81 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
85 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
86 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
87 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
89 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
93 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
94 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
95 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
97 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
98 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
102 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
103 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
105 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
106 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
110 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
111 is applied to a class (t0m).
113 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
114 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
116 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
119 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
120 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
122 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
123 be much more robust. (doy)
125 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
127 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
130 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
134 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
135 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
137 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
141 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
142 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
144 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
147 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
148 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
149 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
151 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
152 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
153 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
156 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
158 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
162 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
163 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
167 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
169 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
173 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
174 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
178 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
179 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
183 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
185 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
189 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
190 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
194 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
195 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
199 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
200 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
202 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
206 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
207 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
208 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
211 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
215 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
216 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
217 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
218 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
220 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
224 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
225 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
226 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
230 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
233 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
238 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
239 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
243 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
244 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
246 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
247 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
248 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
249 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
251 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
255 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
259 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
260 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
262 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
263 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
264 - Moose::Util::does_role
265 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
266 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
267 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
269 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
273 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
274 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
275 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
278 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
282 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
283 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
286 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
290 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
291 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
294 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
298 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
300 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
301 class. (Dave Rolsky).
303 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
304 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
305 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
307 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
308 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
309 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
312 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
313 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
315 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
316 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
317 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
319 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
321 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
322 substr et al, again. (sorear)
324 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
326 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
329 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
330 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
332 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
333 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
335 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
336 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
337 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
338 dependencies installed.
340 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
341 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
344 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
346 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
350 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
353 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
354 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
357 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
358 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
360 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
361 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
364 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
365 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
366 others. (nothingmuch)
368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
369 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
370 remove_accessors. (doy)
372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
373 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
374 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
377 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
379 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
381 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
382 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
385 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
386 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
389 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
391 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
393 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
394 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
398 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
399 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
400 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
401 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
403 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
406 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
407 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
408 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
409 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
412 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
413 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
414 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
415 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
416 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
418 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
419 which were not receiving the value of
420 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
421 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
422 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
423 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
427 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
428 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
429 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
430 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
431 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
435 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
436 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
437 - added tests for this (Stevan)
440 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
441 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
442 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
445 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
447 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
449 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
450 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
451 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
454 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
455 class if you pass it options for
456 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
457 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
458 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
459 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
460 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
461 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
462 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
463 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
464 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
466 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
467 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
468 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
469 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
470 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
473 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
475 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
476 existing delegation API. (hdp)
478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
479 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
480 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
481 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
482 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
483 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
486 * Moose::Error::Croak
487 * Moose::Error::Confess
488 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
489 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
492 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
495 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
496 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
497 installing a broken sub. (doy)
500 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
503 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
504 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
505 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
507 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
508 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
509 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
510 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
511 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
514 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
517 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
519 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
520 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
523 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
524 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
528 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
529 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
532 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
533 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
534 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
535 using it for new code!
537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
538 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
539 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
540 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
542 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
543 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
544 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
545 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
546 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
547 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
548 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
549 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
552 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
555 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
556 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
560 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
563 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
564 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
568 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
569 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
572 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
573 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
575 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
576 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
577 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
580 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
582 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
583 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
584 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
585 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
587 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
589 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
593 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
594 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
596 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
597 associated_methods. (hdp)
598 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
599 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
600 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
601 misspelled) arguments
603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
604 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
605 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
606 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
610 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
612 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
616 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
617 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
620 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
621 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
623 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
625 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
626 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
628 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
629 * Moose::Manual::Types
630 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
631 string parsing rathole (mst)
633 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
634 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
635 using plain objects instead
637 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
638 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
641 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
643 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
644 three times today (perigrin)
645 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
646 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
648 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
649 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
650 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
651 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
654 - A role's required methods are now represented by
655 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
656 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
657 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
658 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
659 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
662 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
663 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
664 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
665 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
668 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
670 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
673 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
675 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
678 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
679 during global destruction. This method has been made more
680 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
684 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
685 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
688 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
689 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
691 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
692 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
693 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
696 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
698 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
699 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
702 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
706 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
707 methods during global destruction (doy)
710 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
711 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
715 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
716 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
719 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
720 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
723 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
724 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
726 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
728 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
732 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
733 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
734 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
737 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
738 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
739 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
742 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
744 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
745 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
746 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
750 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
751 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
752 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
754 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
755 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
756 of the Moose core (Sartak)
759 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
762 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
763 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
764 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
768 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
769 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
772 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
774 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
777 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
778 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
781 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
782 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
785 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
786 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
789 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
792 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
795 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
799 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
801 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
802 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
805 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
806 * More deprecations and renamings
807 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
808 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
809 when an object is constructed)
812 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
813 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
814 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
817 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
818 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
819 feature, and it works again.
822 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
824 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
826 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
827 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
828 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
831 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
832 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
833 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
834 message. Test provided by perigrin.
836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
837 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
838 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
839 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
840 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
843 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
844 metaclass object. (hdp)
846 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
847 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
848 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
849 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
850 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
851 point out this fact. (hdp)
853 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
854 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
856 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
857 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
861 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
862 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
863 called during instance construction were passed the
864 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
865 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
867 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
868 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
871 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
872 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
873 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
876 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
877 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
878 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
879 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
880 them, but they are not for "public" use.
883 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
885 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
886 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
887 when an object is constructed)
888 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
890 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
891 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
892 when an object is constructed)
893 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
894 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
895 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
898 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
900 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
901 * No changes from 0.72_01.
903 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
905 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
906 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
907 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
910 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
911 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
913 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
915 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
916 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
918 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
919 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
922 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
923 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
926 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
927 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
928 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
930 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
931 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
935 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
936 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
937 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
940 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
943 * Moose::Manual::Delta
944 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
945 with recommended workarounds.
947 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
948 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
951 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
952 (yes, spelled like that).
954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
955 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
958 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
959 changes in latest Class::MOP.
961 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
964 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
965 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
966 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
967 instead. Reported by doy.
969 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
971 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
972 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
975 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
976 message) is now deprecated.
977 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
978 often got it wrong. For example:
980 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
982 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
986 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
987 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
988 bite you in weird cases.
990 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
991 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
992 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
995 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
996 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1000 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1003 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1004 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1008 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1011 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1014 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1016 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1017 - added tests for this (stevan)
1019 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1020 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1021 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1022 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1026 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1027 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1028 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1029 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1031 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1032 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1033 - added tests for this (rafl)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1037 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1038 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1042 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1043 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1047 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1048 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1052 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1053 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1055 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1056 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1057 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1058 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1059 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1061 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1062 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1063 error message did not specify the attribute name
1066 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1068 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1070 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1071 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1072 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1075 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1078 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1080 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1081 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1082 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1083 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1085 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1087 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1088 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1089 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1090 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1093 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1094 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1096 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1097 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1098 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1099 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1100 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1103 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1104 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1105 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1106 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1109 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1110 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1111 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1112 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1113 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1115 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1116 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1117 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1118 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1119 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1120 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1123 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1125 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1126 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1127 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1128 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1131 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1134 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1138 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1139 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1142 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1143 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1144 guts. (nothingmuch).
1146 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1148 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1151 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1152 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1153 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Class
1156 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1159 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1160 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1163 * Moose::Unsweetened
1164 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1167 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1169 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1170 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1171 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1172 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1175 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1176 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1177 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1178 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1179 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1180 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1181 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1182 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1183 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1185 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1187 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1188 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1192 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1193 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1196 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1197 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1198 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1199 same methods for a single role did not work
1200 right (worked just fine with multiple
1202 - added test for this (stevan)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1205 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1206 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1209 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1210 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1211 - added test for this (t0m)
1214 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1215 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1216 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1219 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1220 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1221 - added test for this (t0m)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1224 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1225 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1226 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1227 - added test for this (perigrin)
1230 - create method for constructing a role
1231 dynamically (Sartak)
1232 - added test for this (Sartak)
1233 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1234 - added test for this (Sartak)
1237 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1239 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1240 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1241 methods is useful (Sartak)
1243 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1245 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1248 * Moose::Meta::Class
1249 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1250 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1251 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1252 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1253 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1254 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1257 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1258 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1260 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1262 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1263 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1264 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1266 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1268 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1269 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1270 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1273 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1274 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1275 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1276 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1277 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1278 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1282 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1283 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1284 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1285 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1286 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1287 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1288 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1289 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1290 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1291 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1294 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1297 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1298 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1299 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1300 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1301 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1303 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1305 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1306 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1307 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1309 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1310 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1313 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1314 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1315 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1319 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1321 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1323 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1324 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Class
1327 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1328 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1329 a required attribute
1331 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1332 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1333 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1334 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1337 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1340 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1341 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1342 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1343 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1344 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1345 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1346 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1349 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1350 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1352 * Roles and role application
1353 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1354 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1355 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1356 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1357 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1359 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1360 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1363 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1364 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1365 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1366 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1367 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1370 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1371 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1372 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1373 changes in the Moose internals.
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1377 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1380 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1381 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1382 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1383 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1385 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1386 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1387 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1388 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1391 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1392 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1393 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1394 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1395 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1396 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1397 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1398 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1399 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1400 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1401 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1402 constraint implementations.
1404 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1408 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1409 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1410 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1411 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1412 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1413 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1414 - added tests for this (rafl)
1416 * Moose::Meta::Class
1417 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1418 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1419 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1420 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1421 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1422 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1423 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1424 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1427 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1428 - added tests for this (thepler)
1430 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1431 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1432 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1433 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1436 * Moose::Meta::Class
1437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1438 * Moose::Meta::Method
1441 * Moose::Error::Default
1442 * Moose::Error::Croak
1443 * Moose::Error::Confess
1444 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1445 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1446 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1447 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1448 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1449 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1451 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1453 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1454 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1456 * Moose::Unsweetened
1457 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1458 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1459 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1462 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1463 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1464 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1465 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1468 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1469 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1471 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1472 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1473 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1474 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1517 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1521 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1522 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1523 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1524 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1525 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1528 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1530 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1533 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1537 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1538 method when that method was provided by another role being
1539 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1540 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1542 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1550 - added test for this (t0m)
1552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1553 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1554 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1556 - added test for this (t0m)
1559 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1560 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1561 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1564 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1565 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1567 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1569 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1570 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1572 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1573 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1574 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1576 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1577 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1580 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1583 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1587 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1588 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1589 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1593 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1594 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

1598 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1602 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1608 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1609 created so that the process can be more easily

1639 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1640 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1644 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1645 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1647 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1648 ... this is not my day today ...
1650 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1651 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1652 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1653 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1654 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1657 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1658 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1659 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1660 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1661 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1664 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1666 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1667 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1668 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1669 this is not ever something you want to do
1670 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1671 - added tests for this (stevan)
1674 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1676 - added test for this

1685 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1688 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1689 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1692 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1694 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1696 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1699 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1700 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1701 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1702 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1703 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1704 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1705 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1706 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1707 - added tests for this
1709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1710 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1711 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1712 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1777 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1779 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1780 (early morning release engineering)--
1782 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1783 which was causing the indexer to choke
1785 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1786 (late night release engineering)--
1788 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1789 changes in this release

1799 * Moose::Meta::Class
1801 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1802 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1806 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1807 method for immutablization to check if the
1808 destructor object even needs to be created
1811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1812 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1813 - added more descriptive error message to help
1814 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1815 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1817 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1819 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1820 XS based functionality is now optional
1821 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1822 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1823 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1825 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1826 to take care of this, mostly we added
1827 support for the package_name and name
1828 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1829 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1830 support regexp matching of names
1831 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1832 - tests added for this
1833 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1834 is currently not supported in roles,
1835 but, ... patches welcome
1836 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1837 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1838 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1841 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1842 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1843 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1844 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1845 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1846 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1847 - added test for this
1849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1850 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1851 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1854 * Moose::Meta::Class
1855 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1859 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1861 - added tests for this
1862 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1863 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1866 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1867 themselves parameterizable types
1869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1871 called by the inlined immutable
1873 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1875 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1876 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1877 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1878 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1881 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1893 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1896 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1897 ->body when looping through the
1898 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1900 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1901 eating the $@ values, and so not
1902 working correctly, it still kind of
1903 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1904 - added tests for this
1906 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1907 - added new recipe for immutable
1908 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1910 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1926 drink more coffee before
1927 doing release engineering
1929 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1930 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1931 modules. This fixes that.

1934 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1935 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1961 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
1963 - added test for this
1965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2044 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2046 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2086 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2089 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2090 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2091 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2092 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2094 - added more delegation tests
2095 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2096 support traits and their introspection.
2097 - added tests for this

2337 - added tests for this
2340 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2341 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2380 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2383 - fixed how required methods are handled
2384 when they encounter overriden or modified
2385 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2386 - added tests for this
2388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2389 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2390 the | always creates a union and so is
2391 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2392 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2394 - added more tests for this
2396 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2399 * Parameterized Types
2400 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2401 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2402 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2403 They can also be nested:
2404 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2405 And work with the type unions as well:
2406 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2408 * Better Framework Extendability
2409 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2410 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2411 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2412 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2415 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2416 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2417 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2418 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2421 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2423 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2424 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2652 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2653 so that you can actually document your
2654 attributes and inspect them through the

2658 * Moose::Meta::Class
2659 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2660 it will first look in for the class in the
2661 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2662 then default to just loading $name.
2663 - added tests and docs for this
2665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2666 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2667 - added test for this
2670 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2671 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2672 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2673 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2675 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2676 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2679 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2681 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2682 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2683 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2686 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2687 !! for this developer release to work !!
2689 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2690 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2691 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2692 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2693 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2694 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2695 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2696 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2697 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2698 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2699 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2701 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2702 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2703 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2704 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2707 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2709 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2710 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2711 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2713 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2715 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2716 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2719 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2720 called unless they actually need to be.
2721 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2722 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2723 DEMOLISH method present.
2725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2727 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2728 type constraint, which allows for a
2729 hand optimized version of the type
2730 constraint to be used when possible.
2731 - Any internally created type constraints
2732 now provide an optimized version as well.
2734 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2736 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2737 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2738 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2740 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2741 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2742 your class namespace of these exported
2745 * Moose::Meta::Class
2746 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2747 comes up during global destruction
2749 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2753 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2756 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2757 - changed how we do type checks so that
2758 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2761 - moved accessor generation methods to
2762 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2763 conform to the API changes from
2766 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2767 - changed how constraints are compiled
2768 so that we do less recursion and more
2769 iteration. This makes the type check
2771 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2775 - created this from methods formerly found in
2776 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2778 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2779 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2782 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2784 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2785 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2787 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2790 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2791 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2792 - added tests for this
2793 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2794 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2795 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2796 - removed tests for this
2798 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2800 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2801 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2802 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2805 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2806 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2807 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2809 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2810 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2811 comments for more info.
2814 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2815 asked questions and common problems
2817 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2818 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2819 - added tests for this
2821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2822 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2823 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2824 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2826 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2827 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2830 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2831 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2832 is much appreciated :)
2833 - added tests for this
2835 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2836 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2837 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2840 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2841 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2843 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2845 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2846 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2850 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2851 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2852 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2854 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2856 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2859 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2860 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2861 keywords because we need to localize them.
2862 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2864 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2865 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2866 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2869 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2872 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2873 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2874 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2877 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2878 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2879 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2881 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2883 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2884 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2885 bottom of your class file.
2888 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2891 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2893 - improved error message when loading modules so
2894 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2895 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2896 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2899 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2900 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2901 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2903 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2904 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2906 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2907 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2908 turn them on for you.
2909 - added tests for this
2910 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2911 in Moose::Meta::Class
2914 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2915 automatically turned on for you.

2934 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2937 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2938 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2939 - This release works in combination with
2940 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2941 release because it uses the a new
2942 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2943 complete Role implementation. It has
2944 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2945 the the previous CPAN version. This
2946 release also lacks good updated docs,
2947 the official release will have updated docs.
2950 - refactored the keyword exports
2951 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2952 accepts more than one Role at a time
2953 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2954 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2957 - refactored the keyword exports
2958 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2959 accepts more than one Role at a time
2961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2962 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2963 string enumerations which can be used as
2965 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2968 - more careful checking of params to new()
2971 - much work done on the role composition
2972 - many new tests for conflict detection
2973 and composition edge cases
2974 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2975 looking at the tests
2977 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2978 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2979 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2981 * Moose::Meta::Class
2982 - some small changes to support the new
2984 - some small additions to support Roles
2986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2987 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2989 - some small changes to support the new
2991 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2992 with the 'handles' option
2993 - added several tests for this
2994 - no docs for this yet
2996 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2998 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2999 thanks to chansen for this commit
3000 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3001 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3002 on a per-attribute basis
3003 - added tests for this
3004 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3005 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3006 experimental feature and probably not finished

3071 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3073 - added test for this
