1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
9 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
13 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
14 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
15 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
20 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
21 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
23 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
26 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
27 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
31 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
32 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
34 2.0102 Sat, Jun 18, 2011
38 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
39 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
41 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
45 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
47 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
51 * Various packaging issues.
53 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
57 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
58 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
63 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
64 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
65 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
70 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
71 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
73 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
77 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
78 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
82 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
84 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
88 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
90 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
94 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
95 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
97 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
101 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
103 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
107 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
109 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
110 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
112 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
116 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
117 skips every other role. (rjbs)
119 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
120 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
121 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
122 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
123 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
125 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
129 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
130 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
131 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
134 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
139 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
141 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
142 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
144 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
148 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
149 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
150 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
154 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
155 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
157 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
158 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
160 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
161 environments. (doy, mateu)
163 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
167 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
168 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
169 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
170 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
174 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
175 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
177 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
181 * Update conflicts list.
184 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
188 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
189 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
190 details. (Dave Rolsky)
192 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
193 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
194 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
195 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
196 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
200 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
201 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
202 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
203 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
204 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
207 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
211 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
212 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
214 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
217 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
221 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
222 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
223 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
224 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
226 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
227 immutable classes). (mo)
229 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
230 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
231 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
233 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
237 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
239 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
241 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
245 * Fix some indexing issues.
247 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
249 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
253 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
254 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
255 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
256 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
257 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
259 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
260 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
265 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
266 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
267 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
268 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
270 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
271 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
272 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
276 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
277 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
280 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
284 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
285 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
289 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
293 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
294 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
295 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
296 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
299 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
303 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
306 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
310 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
311 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
312 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
315 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
319 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
320 policy. (Chris Prather)
322 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
323 on this new support policy. (doy)
327 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
328 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
329 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
331 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
332 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
334 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
338 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
339 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
340 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
341 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
344 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
348 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
349 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
352 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
356 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
357 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
359 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
360 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
364 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
365 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
366 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
367 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
368 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
369 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
371 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
372 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
374 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
375 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
376 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
377 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
379 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
380 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
382 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
387 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
388 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
390 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
394 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
395 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
396 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
398 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
402 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
403 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
404 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
406 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
407 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
410 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
411 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
414 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
415 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
416 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
418 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
419 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
424 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
425 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
426 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
427 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
429 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
430 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
432 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
433 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
435 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
436 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
437 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
438 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
440 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
441 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
442 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
445 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
446 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
447 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
448 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
451 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
454 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
455 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
456 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
458 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
462 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
463 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
464 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
466 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
467 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
468 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
471 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
472 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
473 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
475 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
476 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
477 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
479 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
480 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
484 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
485 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
486 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
488 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
489 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
490 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
491 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
493 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
498 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
499 value is a reference.
501 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
502 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
504 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
508 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
509 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
510 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
512 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
516 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
517 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
521 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
522 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
523 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
526 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
527 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
529 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
533 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
535 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
539 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
541 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
542 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
547 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
548 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
550 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
551 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
552 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
553 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
554 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
556 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
557 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
558 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
559 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
561 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
565 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
566 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
571 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
573 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
575 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
580 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
582 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
586 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
587 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
588 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
590 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
591 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
592 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
593 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
595 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
596 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
597 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
598 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
599 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
602 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
607 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
608 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
609 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
610 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
611 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
614 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
618 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
621 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
622 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
626 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
627 function (not just method). (doy)
631 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
632 and aren't easily installable/testable.
634 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
638 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
639 to be overridden more easily (doy).
641 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
645 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
646 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
648 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
652 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
653 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
654 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
656 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
660 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
661 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
662 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
664 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
665 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
669 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
670 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
672 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
673 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
677 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
678 is applied to a class (t0m).
680 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
681 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
683 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
686 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
687 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
689 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
690 be much more robust. (doy)
692 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
694 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
697 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
701 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
702 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
704 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
708 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
709 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
711 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
714 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
715 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
716 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
718 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
719 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
720 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
723 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
725 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
729 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
730 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
734 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
736 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
741 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
745 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
746 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
750 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
752 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
756 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
757 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
761 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
762 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
766 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
767 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
769 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
773 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
774 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
775 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
778 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
782 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
783 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
784 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
785 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
787 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
791 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
792 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
793 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
797 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
800 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
805 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
806 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
810 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
811 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
813 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
814 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
815 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
816 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
818 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
822 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
826 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
827 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
829 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
830 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
831 - Moose::Util::does_role
832 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
833 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
834 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
836 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
840 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
841 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
842 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
845 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
849 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
850 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
853 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
857 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
858 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
861 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
865 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
867 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
868 class. (Dave Rolsky).
870 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
871 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
872 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
874 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
875 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
876 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
879 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
880 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
882 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
883 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
884 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
886 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
888 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
889 substr et al, again. (sorear)
891 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
893 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
896 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
897 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
899 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
900 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
902 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
903 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
904 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
905 dependencies installed.
907 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
908 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
911 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
913 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
917 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
920 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
921 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
924 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
925 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
927 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
928 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
931 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
932 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
933 others. (nothingmuch)
935 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
936 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
937 remove_accessors. (doy)
939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
940 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
941 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
944 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
946 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
948 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
949 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
952 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
953 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
956 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
958 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
960 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
961 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
965 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
966 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
967 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
968 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
970 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
973 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
974 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
975 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
976 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
979 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
980 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
981 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
982 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
983 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
985 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
986 which were not receiving the value of
987 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
988 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
989 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
990 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
994 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
995 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
996 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
997 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
998 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1001 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1002 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1003 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1004 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Class
1007 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1008 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1009 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1012 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1014 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1017 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1018 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1021 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1022 class if you pass it options for
1023 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1024 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1025 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1026 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1027 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1028 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1029 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1030 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1031 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1033 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1034 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1035 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1036 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1037 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1040 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1042 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1043 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1046 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1047 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1048 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1049 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1050 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1053 * Moose::Error::Croak
1054 * Moose::Error::Confess
1055 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1056 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1059 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1062 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1063 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1064 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Class
1067 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1070 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1071 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1072 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1074 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1075 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1076 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1077 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1078 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1080 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1081 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1084 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1086 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1087 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1090 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1091 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1093 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1095 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1096 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1099 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1100 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1101 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1102 using it for new code!
1104 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1105 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1106 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1107 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1109 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1110 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1111 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1112 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1113 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1114 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1115 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1116 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1119 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1122 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1123 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1127 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1130 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1131 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1133 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1135 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1136 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1138 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1139 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1140 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1143 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1144 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1147 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1149 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1150 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1151 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1152 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1154 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1156 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1160 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1161 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1163 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1164 associated_methods. (hdp)
1165 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1166 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1167 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1168 misspelled) arguments
1170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1171 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1172 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1173 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1177 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1179 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1183 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1184 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1187 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1188 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1190 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1191 * Moose::Meta::Class
1192 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1193 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1195 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1196 * Moose::Manual::Types
1197 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1198 string parsing rathole (mst)
1200 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1201 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1202 using plain objects instead
1204 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1205 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1206 that's what we need.
1208 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1209 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1210 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1211 three times today (perigrin)
1212 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1213 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1216 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1217 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1218 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1221 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1222 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1223 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1224 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1225 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1226 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1229 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1230 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1231 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1232 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1235 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1237 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1240 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1242 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1245 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1246 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1247 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1251 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1252 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1255 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1256 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1258 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1260 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1262 * Moose::Unsweetened
1263 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1265 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1266 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1269 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1273 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1274 methods during global destruction (doy)
1276 * Moose::Meta::Class
1277 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1278 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1279 consumption (Sartak)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Class
1282 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1283 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1286 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1287 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1290 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1291 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1293 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1295 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1299 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1300 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1301 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1305 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1306 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1309 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1311 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1313 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1317 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1318 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1319 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1321 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1322 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1323 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1326 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1329 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1331 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1335 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1336 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Class
1339 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1341 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1343 * Moose::Meta::Class
1344 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1345 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1348 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1349 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1352 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1353 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1356 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1359 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1362 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1365 * Moose::Meta::Class
1366 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1369 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1372 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1373 * More deprecations and renamings
1374 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1375 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1376 when an object is constructed)
1379 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1380 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1381 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1384 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1385 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1386 feature, and it works again.
1389 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1391 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1393 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1394 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1395 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1398 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1399 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1400 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1401 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1404 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1405 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1406 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1407 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1410 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1411 metaclass object. (hdp)
1413 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1414 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1415 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1416 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1417 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1418 point out this fact. (hdp)
1420 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1421 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1423 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1424 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1426 * Moose::Meta::Class
1427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1428 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1429 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1430 called during instance construction were passed the
1431 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1432 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1434 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1435 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1438 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1439 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1440 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1443 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1444 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1445 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1446 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1447 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1449 - Moose::Meta::Class
1450 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1452 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1453 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1454 when an object is constructed)
1455 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1457 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1461 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1462 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1465 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1467 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1468 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1470 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1472 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1473 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1474 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1477 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1478 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1480 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1482 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1483 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1485 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1486 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1489 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1490 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1493 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1494 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1495 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1498 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1502 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1503 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1504 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1506 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1507 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1510 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1511 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1512 with recommended workarounds.
1514 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1515 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1518 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1519 (yes, spelled like that).
1521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1522 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1524 * Moose::Meta::Class
1525 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1526 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1528 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1531 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1532 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1533 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1534 instead. Reported by doy.
1536 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1538 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1539 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1542 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1543 message) is now deprecated.
1544 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1545 often got it wrong. For example:
1547 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1549 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1553 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1554 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1555 bite you in weird cases.
1557 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1558 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1559 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1560 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1562 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1563 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1567 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1570 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1571 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1574 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1575 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1578 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1581 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1583 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1584 - added tests for this (stevan)
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1587 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1588 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1589 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1593 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1594 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1595 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1596 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1598 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1599 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1600 - added tests for this (rafl)
1602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1603 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1604 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1605 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1609 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1610 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1613 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1614 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1615 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1619 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1620 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1622 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1623 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1624 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1625 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1626 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1629 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1630 error message did not specify the attribute name
1633 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1635 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1637 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1638 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1639 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1642 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1645 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1647 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1648 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1649 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1650 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1652 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1654 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1655 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1656 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1657 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1660 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1661 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1664 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1665 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1666 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1667 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1669 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1670 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1671 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1672 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1673 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1676 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1677 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1678 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1679 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1680 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1682 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1683 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1684 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1685 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1686 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1687 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1690 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1692 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1693 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1694 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1695 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1698 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1701 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1705 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1706 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1708 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1709 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1710 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1711 guts. (nothingmuch).
1713 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1715 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1718 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1719 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1720 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1722 * Moose::Meta::Class
1723 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1726 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1727 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1730 * Moose::Unsweetened
1731 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1734 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1735 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1736 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1737 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1738 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1739 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1742 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1743 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1744 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1745 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1746 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1747 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1748 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1749 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1750 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1752 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1754 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1755 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1758 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1759 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1760 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1762 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1763 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1764 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1765 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1766 same methods for a single role did not work
1767 right (worked just fine with multiple
1769 - added test for this (stevan)
1771 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1772 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1773 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1776 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1777 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1778 - added test for this (t0m)
1781 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1782 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1783 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1786 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1787 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1788 - added test for this (t0m)
1790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1791 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1792 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1793 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1794 - added test for this (perigrin)
1797 - create method for constructing a role
1798 dynamically (Sartak)
1799 - added test for this (Sartak)
1800 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1801 - added test for this (Sartak)
1804 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1806 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1807 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1808 methods is useful (Sartak)
1810 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1812 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1815 * Moose::Meta::Class
1816 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1817 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1818 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1819 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1820 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1821 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1824 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1825 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1828 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1829 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1830 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1831 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1835 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1836 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1837 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1840 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1841 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1842 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1843 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1844 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1845 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1849 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1850 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1851 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1852 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1853 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1854 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1855 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1856 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1857 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1858 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1861 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1864 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1865 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1866 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1867 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1868 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1870 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1872 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1873 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1874 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1877 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1880 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1881 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1882 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1886 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1888 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1890 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1891 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1893 * Moose::Meta::Class
1894 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1895 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1896 a required attribute
1898 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1900 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1901 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1904 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1907 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1908 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1909 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1910 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1911 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1912 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1913 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1916 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1917 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1919 * Roles and role application
1920 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1921 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1922 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1923 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1924 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1926 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1927 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1931 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1932 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1933 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1934 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1937 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1938 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1939 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1940 changes in the Moose internals.
1942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1944 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1947 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1948 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1949 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1950 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1953 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1954 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1955 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1957 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1958 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1959 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1960 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1961 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1962 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1963 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1964 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1965 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1966 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1967 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1968 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1969 constraint implementations.
1971 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1975 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1976 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1977 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1978 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1979 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1980 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1981 - added tests for this (rafl)
1983 * Moose::Meta::Class
1984 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1985 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1986 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1987 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1988 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1989 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1990 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1991 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1994 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1995 - added tests for this (thepler)
1997 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1998 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1999 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2000 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2003 * Moose::Meta::Class
2004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2005 * Moose::Meta::Method
2008 * Moose::Error::Default
2009 * Moose::Error::Croak
2010 * Moose::Error::Confess
2011 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2012 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2013 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2014 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2015 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2016 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2018 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2020 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2021 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2023 * Moose::Unsweetened
2024 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2025 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2026 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2029 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2030 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2031 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2032 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2035 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2036 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2038 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2039 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2040 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2041 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2044 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2046 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2047 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2049 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2052 - Various bug fixes.
2054 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2055 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2057 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2059 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2060 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2061 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2062 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2063 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2064 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2066 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2067 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2068 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2070 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

2215 ... this is not my day today ...
2217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2218 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2219 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2220 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2221 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2224 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2225 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2226 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2231 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2233 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2234 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2267 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2268 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2269 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2270 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2271 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2272 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2273 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2274 - added tests for this
2276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2277 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2493 drink more coffee before
2494 doing release engineering

2765 - this release contains a major reworking and
2766 cleanup of the role system
2767 - 100% backwards compat.
2768 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2769 classes based on type of applicants
2770 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2771 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2772 used in this process
2773 - new Composite role metaclass
2774 - runtime application of roles to instances
2775 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2776 classes when applicable
2778 * <<New Role composition features>>
2779 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2781 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2782 still retain the original as well)

2785 - added this module (see above)
2787 * Moose::Meta::Class
2788 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2789 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
2791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

2798 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2799 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2800 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2806 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2808 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2809 - added this module to support the refactor
2810 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2813 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2814 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2818 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2820 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2821 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2822 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2824 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2844 - added tests for this
2846 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2847 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2848 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2850 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2851 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2852 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2853 they should inherit the parent's coercion

2857 having to do it all in one place
2858 - added tests for this
2860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2861 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2862 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2865 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2866 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2867 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2868 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2872 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2874 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2876 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2877 - added tests for this.
2878 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2879 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2880 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2881 - added tests for this
2882 - added docs for this
2884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2885 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2886 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2887 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2888 instead it will just return undef.
2889 - added docs for this

2904 - added tests for this
2907 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2908 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2947 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2950 - fixed how required methods are handled
2951 when they encounter overriden or modified
2952 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2953 - added tests for this
2955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2956 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2957 the | always creates a union and so is
2958 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2959 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2961 - added more tests for this
2963 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2966 * Parameterized Types
2967 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2968 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2969 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2970 They can also be nested:
2971 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2972 And work with the type unions as well:
2973 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2975 * Better Framework Extendability
2976 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2977 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2978 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2979 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2982 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2983 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2984 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2985 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2988 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2990 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2991 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2994 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3022 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
3024 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
3025 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
3026 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
3027 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
3029 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
3030 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
3031 - updated the accompanying test as well
3033 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
3034 +++ with new features added as well +++
3036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3040 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3042 - added tests for this
3044 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3050 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3051 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3053 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3054 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3055 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3056 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3070 (thanks to shlomif).
3072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3073 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3074 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

3123 (but not changing the handles option)
3124 - added tests and docs for this
3127 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3128 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3142 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3143 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3144 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3145 prototypes for functions
3146 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3147 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3157 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3160 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3161 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3162 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3163 - added tests for this
3165 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3167 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3188 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3189 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3191 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3192 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3193 so this release is just to fix that.
3196 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3197 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3198 (thanks to konobi for this)
3199 - added tests and docs
3201 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3202 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3204 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3205 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3206 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3207 - added tests for this

3209 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3210 functions to facilitate introspection.
3212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3213 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3214 to build the list of delegated methods
3215 correctly (and not override important
3216 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3218 - added tests and docs for this
3219 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3220 so that you can actually document your
3221 attributes and inspect them through the
3223 - added tests and docs for this
3225 * Moose::Meta::Class
3226 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3227 it will first look in for the class in the
3228 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3229 then default to just loading $name.
3230 - added tests and docs for this
3232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3233 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3234 - added test for this
3237 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3238 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3239 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3240 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3242 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3243 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3246 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3248 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3249 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3250 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3253 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3254 !! for this developer release to work !!
3256 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3257 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3258 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3259 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3260 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3261 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3262 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3263 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3264 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3265 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3266 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3268 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3269 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3270 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3271 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3274 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3276 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3277 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3278 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3280 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3282 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3283 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3286 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3287 called unless they actually need to be.
3288 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3289 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3290 DEMOLISH method present.
3292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3294 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3295 type constraint, which allows for a
3296 hand optimized version of the type
3297 constraint to be used when possible.
3298 - Any internally created type constraints
3299 now provide an optimized version as well.
3301 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3303 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3304 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3305 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3308 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3309 your class namespace of these exported
3312 * Moose::Meta::Class
3313 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3314 comes up during global destruction
3316 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3320 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3324 - changed how we do type checks so that
3325 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3328 - moved accessor generation methods to
3329 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3330 conform to the API changes from
3333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3334 - changed how constraints are compiled
3335 so that we do less recursion and more
3336 iteration. This makes the type check
3338 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3342 - created this from methods formerly found in
3343 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3345 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3346 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3349 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3351 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3352 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3354 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3357 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3358 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3359 - added tests for this
3360 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3361 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3362 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3363 - removed tests for this
3365 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3367 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3368 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3369 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3372 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3373 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3374 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3376 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3377 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3378 comments for more info.
3381 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3382 asked questions and common problems
3384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3385 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3386 - added tests for this
3388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3389 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3390 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3391 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3393 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3394 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3397 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3398 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3399 is much appreciated :)
3400 - added tests for this
3402 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3403 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3404 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3408 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3410 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3412 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3413 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3417 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3418 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3419 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3421 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3423 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3426 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3427 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3428 keywords because we need to localize them.
3429 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3431 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3432 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3433 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3436 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3440 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3441 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3444 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3445 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3446 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3448 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3450 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3451 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3452 bottom of your class file.
3455 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3458 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3460 - improved error message when loading modules so
3461 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3462 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3463 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3466 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3467 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3468 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3471 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3473 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3474 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3475 turn them on for you.
3476 - added tests for this
3477 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3478 in Moose::Meta::Class
3481 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3482 automatically turned on for you.
3483 - added tests for this
3486 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3487 - added tests for this
3488 - added some more edge case tests

3504 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3505 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3506 - This release works in combination with
3507 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3508 release because it uses the a new
3509 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3510 complete Role implementation. It has
3511 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3512 the the previous CPAN version. This
3513 release also lacks good updated docs,
3514 the official release will have updated docs.
3517 - refactored the keyword exports
3518 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3519 accepts more than one Role at a time
3520 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3521 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3524 - refactored the keyword exports
3525 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3526 accepts more than one Role at a time
3528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3529 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3530 string enumerations which can be used as
3532 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3535 - more careful checking of params to new()
3538 - much work done on the role composition
3539 - many new tests for conflict detection
3540 and composition edge cases
3541 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3542 looking at the tests
3544 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3545 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3546 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3548 * Moose::Meta::Class
3549 - some small changes to support the new
3551 - some small additions to support Roles
3553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3554 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3556 - some small changes to support the new
3558 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3559 with the 'handles' option
3560 - added several tests for this
3561 - no docs for this yet
3563 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3565 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3566 thanks to chansen for this commit
3567 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3568 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3569 on a per-attribute basis
3570 - added tests for this

3572 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3573 experimental feature and probably not finished
