1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
9 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
11 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
15 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
16 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
17 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
19 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
23 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
24 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
25 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
27 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
28 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
32 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
33 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
35 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
36 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
40 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
41 is applied to a class (t0m).
43 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
44 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
46 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
49 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
50 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
52 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
53 be much more robust. (doy)
55 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
57 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
60 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
64 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
65 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
67 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
71 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
72 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
74 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
77 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
78 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
79 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
81 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
82 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
83 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
86 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
88 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
92 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
93 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
97 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
99 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
104 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
108 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
109 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
113 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
115 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
119 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
120 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
124 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
125 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
129 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
130 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
132 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
136 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
137 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
138 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
141 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
145 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
146 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
147 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
148 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
150 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
154 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
155 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
156 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
160 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
163 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
168 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
169 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
173 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
174 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
176 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
177 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
178 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
179 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
181 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
185 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
189 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
190 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
192 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
193 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
194 - Moose::Util::does_role
195 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
196 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
197 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
199 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
203 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
204 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
205 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
208 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
212 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
213 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
216 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
220 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
221 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
224 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
228 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
230 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
231 class. (Dave Rolsky).
233 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
234 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
235 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
237 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
238 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
239 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
242 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
243 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
245 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
246 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
247 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
249 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
251 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
252 substr et al, again. (sorear)
254 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
256 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
259 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
260 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
262 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
263 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
265 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
266 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
267 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
268 dependencies installed.
270 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
271 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
274 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
276 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
280 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
283 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
284 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
286 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
287 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
288 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
290 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
291 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
294 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
295 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
296 others. (nothingmuch)
298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
299 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
300 remove_accessors. (doy)
302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
303 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
304 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
307 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
309 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
311 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
312 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
315 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
316 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
319 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
321 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
323 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
324 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
328 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
329 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
330 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
331 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
333 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
336 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
337 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
338 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
339 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
342 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
343 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
344 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
345 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
346 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
348 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
349 which were not receiving the value of
350 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
351 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
352 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
353 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
357 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
358 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
359 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
360 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
361 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
365 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
366 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
367 - added tests for this (Stevan)
370 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
371 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
372 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
375 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
377 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
380 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
381 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
384 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
385 class if you pass it options for
386 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
387 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
388 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
389 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
390 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
391 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
392 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
393 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
394 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
397 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
398 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
399 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
400 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
403 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
405 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
406 existing delegation API. (hdp)
408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
409 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
410 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
411 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
412 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
413 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
416 * Moose::Error::Croak
417 * Moose::Error::Confess
418 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
419 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
422 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
425 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
426 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
427 installing a broken sub. (doy)
430 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
433 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
434 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
435 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
437 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
438 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
439 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
440 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
441 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
443 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
444 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
447 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
449 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
450 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
453 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
454 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
456 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
458 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
459 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
462 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
463 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
464 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
465 using it for new code!
467 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
468 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
469 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
470 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
472 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
473 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
474 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
475 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
476 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
477 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
478 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
479 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
482 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
485 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
486 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
490 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
492 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
493 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
494 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
498 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
499 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
502 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
503 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
505 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
506 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
507 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
510 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
512 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
513 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
514 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
515 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
517 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
519 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
523 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
524 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
526 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
527 associated_methods. (hdp)
528 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
529 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
530 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
531 misspelled) arguments
533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
534 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
535 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
536 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
538 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
540 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
542 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
546 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
547 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
550 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
551 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
553 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
555 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
556 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
558 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
559 * Moose::Manual::Types
560 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
561 string parsing rathole (mst)
563 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
564 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
565 using plain objects instead
567 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
568 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
571 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
573 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
574 three times today (perigrin)
575 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
576 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
578 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
579 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
580 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
581 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
584 - A role's required methods are now represented by
585 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
586 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
587 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
588 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
589 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
592 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
593 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
594 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
595 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
598 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
600 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
603 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
605 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
608 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
609 during global destruction. This method has been made more
610 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
614 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
615 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
618 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
619 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
621 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
622 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
623 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
626 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
628 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
629 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
632 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
636 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
637 methods during global destruction (doy)
640 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
641 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
645 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
646 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
649 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
650 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
653 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
654 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
656 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
658 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
662 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
663 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
664 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
667 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
668 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
669 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
672 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
674 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
676 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
679 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
680 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
681 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
682 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
684 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
685 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
686 of the Moose core (Sartak)
689 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
692 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
693 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
694 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
698 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
699 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
702 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
704 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
707 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
708 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
711 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
712 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
715 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
716 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
719 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
722 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
725 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
729 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
732 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
735 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
736 * More deprecations and renamings
737 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
738 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
739 when an object is constructed)
742 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
743 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
744 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
747 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
748 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
749 feature, and it works again.
752 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
754 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
756 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
757 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
758 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
761 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
762 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
763 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
764 message. Test provided by perigrin.
766 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
767 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
768 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
769 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
770 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
773 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
774 metaclass object. (hdp)
776 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
777 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
778 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
779 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
780 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
781 point out this fact. (hdp)
783 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
784 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
786 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
787 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
791 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
792 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
793 called during instance construction were passed the
794 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
795 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
797 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
798 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
801 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
802 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
803 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
806 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
807 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
808 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
809 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
810 them, but they are not for "public" use.
813 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
815 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
816 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
817 when an object is constructed)
818 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
820 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
821 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
822 when an object is constructed)
823 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
824 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
825 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
828 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
830 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
831 * No changes from 0.72_01.
833 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
835 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
836 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
837 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
840 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
841 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
843 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
845 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
846 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
848 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
849 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
852 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
853 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
856 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
857 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
858 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
861 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
865 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
866 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
867 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
870 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
873 * Moose::Manual::Delta
874 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
875 with recommended workarounds.
877 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
878 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
881 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
882 (yes, spelled like that).
884 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
885 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
888 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
889 changes in latest Class::MOP.
891 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
893 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
894 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
895 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
896 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
897 instead. Reported by doy.
899 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
901 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
902 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
905 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
906 message) is now deprecated.
907 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
908 often got it wrong. For example:
910 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
912 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
916 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
917 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
918 bite you in weird cases.
920 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
921 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
922 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
925 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
926 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
930 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
933 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
934 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
937 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
938 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
941 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
944 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
946 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
947 - added tests for this (stevan)
949 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
950 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
951 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
952 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
956 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
957 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
958 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
959 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
961 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
962 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
963 - added tests for this (rafl)
965 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
966 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
967 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
968 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
972 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
973 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
976 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
977 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
978 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
980 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
982 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
983 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
986 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
987 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
988 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
989 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
992 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
993 error message did not specify the attribute name
996 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
998 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1000 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1001 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1002 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1004 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1005 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1008 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1010 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1011 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1012 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1013 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1015 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1017 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1018 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1019 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1020 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1023 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1024 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1027 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1028 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1029 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1030 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1033 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1034 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1035 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1036 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1039 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1040 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1041 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1042 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1043 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1045 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1046 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1047 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1048 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1049 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1050 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1052 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1053 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1055 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1056 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1057 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1058 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1060 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1061 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1064 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1068 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1069 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1071 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1072 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1073 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1074 guts. (nothingmuch).
1076 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1078 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1080 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1081 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1082 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1083 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1085 * Moose::Meta::Class
1086 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1089 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1090 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1092 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1093 * Moose::Unsweetened
1094 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1097 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1098 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1099 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1100 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1101 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1102 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1105 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1106 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1107 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1108 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1109 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1110 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1111 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1112 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1113 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1115 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1117 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1118 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1121 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1122 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1123 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1125 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1126 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1127 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1128 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1129 same methods for a single role did not work
1130 right (worked just fine with multiple
1132 - added test for this (stevan)
1134 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1135 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1136 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1139 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1140 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1141 - added test for this (t0m)
1144 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1145 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1146 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1149 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1150 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1151 - added test for this (t0m)
1153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1154 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1155 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1156 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1157 - added test for this (perigrin)
1160 - create method for constructing a role
1161 dynamically (Sartak)
1162 - added test for this (Sartak)
1163 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1164 - added test for this (Sartak)
1167 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1169 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1170 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1171 methods is useful (Sartak)
1173 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1175 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1178 * Moose::Meta::Class
1179 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1180 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1181 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1182 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1183 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1187 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1188 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1191 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1192 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1193 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1194 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1196 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1198 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1199 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1203 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1204 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1205 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1206 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1207 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1208 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1212 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1213 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1214 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1215 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1216 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1217 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1218 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1219 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1220 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1221 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1224 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1228 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1229 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1230 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1231 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1233 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1235 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1236 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1237 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1240 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1243 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1244 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1245 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1248 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1249 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1251 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1253 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1254 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Class
1257 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1258 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1259 a required attribute
1261 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1263 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1264 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1266 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1267 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1270 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1271 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1272 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1273 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1274 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1275 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1276 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1278 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1279 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1280 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1282 * Roles and role application
1283 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1284 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1285 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1286 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1287 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1289 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1290 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1293 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1294 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1295 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1296 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1297 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1300 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1301 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1302 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1303 changes in the Moose internals.
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1307 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1311 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1312 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1313 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1315 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1316 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1317 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1318 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1320 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1321 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1322 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1323 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1324 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1325 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1326 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1327 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1328 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1329 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1330 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1331 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1332 constraint implementations.
1334 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1338 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1339 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1340 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1341 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1342 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1343 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 - added tests for this (rafl)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Class
1347 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1348 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1349 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1350 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1351 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1352 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1353 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1357 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1358 - added tests for this (thepler)
1360 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1361 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1362 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1363 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1366 * Moose::Meta::Class
1367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1368 * Moose::Meta::Method
1371 * Moose::Error::Default
1372 * Moose::Error::Croak
1373 * Moose::Error::Confess
1374 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1375 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1376 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1377 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1378 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1379 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1381 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1383 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1384 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1386 * Moose::Unsweetened
1387 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1388 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1389 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1391 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1392 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1393 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1394 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1395 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1398 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1399 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1401 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1402 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1403 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1404 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1443 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1444 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1447 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1450 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1451 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1452 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1453 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1454 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1455 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1457 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1458 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

1462 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1463 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

1480 - added test for this (t0m)
1482 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1483 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1484 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1486 - added test for this (t0m)
1489 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1490 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1491 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1494 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1495 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1497 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1500 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1502 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1534 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1536 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1538 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1539 created so that the process can be more easily
1540 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1578 ... this is not my day today ...
1580 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1581 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1582 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1583 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1584 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1587 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1588 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1589 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1590 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1591 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1594 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1596 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1597 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1629 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1630 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1631 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1632 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1633 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1634 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1635 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1636 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 - added tests for this
1639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1640 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1641 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1742 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1743 - added more descriptive error message to help
1744 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1745 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1747 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1749 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1750 XS based functionality is now optional
1751 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1752 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1753 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1832 working correctly, it still kind of
1833 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1834 - added tests for this

1856 drink more coffee before
1857 doing release engineering
1859 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1974 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1976 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2016 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2181 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2183 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2184 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2185 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2224 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2225 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2228 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2229 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2230 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2231 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2247 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2248 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2267 - added tests for this
2270 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2271 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2310 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2313 - fixed how required methods are handled
2314 when they encounter overriden or modified
2315 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2316 - added tests for this
2318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2319 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2320 the | always creates a union and so is
2321 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2322 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2324 - added more tests for this
2326 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2329 * Parameterized Types
2330 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2331 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2332 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2333 They can also be nested:
2334 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2335 And work with the type unions as well:
2336 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2338 * Better Framework Extendability
2339 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2340 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2341 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2342 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2345 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2346 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2347 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2348 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2351 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2353 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2354 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2414 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2416 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2507 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2508 prototypes for functions
2509 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2510 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2582 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2583 so that you can actually document your
2584 attributes and inspect them through the

2588 * Moose::Meta::Class
2589 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2590 it will first look in for the class in the
2591 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2592 then default to just loading $name.
2593 - added tests and docs for this
2595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2596 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2597 - added test for this
2600 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2602 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2603 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2605 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2606 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2609 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2611 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2612 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2613 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2616 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2617 !! for this developer release to work !!
2619 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2620 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2621 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2622 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2623 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2624 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2625 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2626 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2627 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2628 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2629 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2631 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2632 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2633 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2634 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2637 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2639 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2640 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2641 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2643 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2645 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2646 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2649 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2650 called unless they actually need to be.
2651 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2652 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2653 DEMOLISH method present.
2655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2657 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2658 type constraint, which allows for a
2659 hand optimized version of the type
2660 constraint to be used when possible.
2661 - Any internally created type constraints
2662 now provide an optimized version as well.
2664 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2666 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2667 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2668 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2671 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2672 your class namespace of these exported
2675 * Moose::Meta::Class
2676 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2677 comes up during global destruction
2679 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2683 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2687 - changed how we do type checks so that
2688 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2691 - moved accessor generation methods to
2692 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2693 conform to the API changes from
2696 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2697 - changed how constraints are compiled
2698 so that we do less recursion and more
2699 iteration. This makes the type check
2701 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2705 - created this from methods formerly found in
2706 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2708 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2709 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2712 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2715 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2717 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2719 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2720 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2721 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2722 - added tests for this
2723 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2724 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2725 broke predicates in an ugly way.

2728 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2730 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2731 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2732 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2735 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2736 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2737 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2739 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2740 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2741 comments for more info.
2744 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2745 asked questions and common problems
2747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2748 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2749 - added tests for this
2751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2752 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2753 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2754 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2756 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2757 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2760 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2761 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2762 is much appreciated :)
2763 - added tests for this
2765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2766 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2767 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2770 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2771 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2773 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2775 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2776 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2780 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2781 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2782 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2784 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2786 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2789 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2790 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2791 keywords because we need to localize them.
2792 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2794 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2795 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2796 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2799 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2803 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2804 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2807 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2808 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2809 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2811 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2813 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2814 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2815 bottom of your class file.
2818 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2821 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2823 - improved error message when loading modules so
2824 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2825 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2826 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2829 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2830 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2831 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2834 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2836 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2837 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2838 turn them on for you.
2839 - added tests for this
2840 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2841 in Moose::Meta::Class
2844 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2845 automatically turned on for you.

2849 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2850 - added tests for this

2867 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2868 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2869 - This release works in combination with
2870 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2871 release because it uses the a new
2872 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2873 complete Role implementation. It has
2874 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2875 the the previous CPAN version. This
2876 release also lacks good updated docs,
2877 the official release will have updated docs.
2880 - refactored the keyword exports
2881 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2882 accepts more than one Role at a time
2883 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2884 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2887 - refactored the keyword exports
2888 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2889 accepts more than one Role at a time
2891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2892 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2893 string enumerations which can be used as
2895 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2898 - more careful checking of params to new()
2901 - much work done on the role composition
2902 - many new tests for conflict detection
2903 and composition edge cases
2904 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2905 looking at the tests
2907 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2908 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2909 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2911 * Moose::Meta::Class
2912 - some small changes to support the new
2914 - some small additions to support Roles
2916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2917 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2919 - some small changes to support the new
2921 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2922 with the 'handles' option
2923 - added several tests for this
2924 - no docs for this yet
2926 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2928 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2929 thanks to chansen for this commit
2930 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2931 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2932 on a per-attribute basis
2933 - added tests for this
2934 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2935 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2936 experimental feature and probably not finished

2938 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2939 - added tests for this

3001 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3003 - added test for this
