1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
9 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
10 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
12 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
13 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
14 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
18 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
19 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
20 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
22 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
23 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
24 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
25 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
29 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
30 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
33 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
37 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
38 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
39 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
41 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
45 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
46 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
50 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
51 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
52 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
55 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
56 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
58 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
62 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
64 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
68 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
70 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
71 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
76 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
77 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
79 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
80 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
81 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
82 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
85 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
86 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
87 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
88 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
90 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
94 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
95 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
100 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
102 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
104 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
109 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
111 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
115 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
116 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
117 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
120 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
121 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
122 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
124 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
125 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
126 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
127 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
128 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
131 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
136 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
137 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
138 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
139 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
140 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
143 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
147 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
150 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
151 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
155 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
156 function (not just method). (doy)
160 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
161 and aren't easily installable/testable.
163 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
167 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
168 to be overridden more easily (doy).
170 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
174 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
175 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
177 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
181 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
182 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
183 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
185 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
189 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
190 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
191 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
193 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
194 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
198 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
199 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
201 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
202 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
206 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
207 is applied to a class (t0m).
209 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
210 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
212 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
215 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
216 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
218 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
219 be much more robust. (doy)
221 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
223 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
226 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
230 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
231 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
233 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
237 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
238 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
240 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
243 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
244 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
245 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
247 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
248 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
249 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
252 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
254 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
258 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
259 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
263 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
265 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
270 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
274 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
275 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
279 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
281 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
285 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
286 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
290 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
291 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
295 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
296 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
298 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
302 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
303 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
304 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
307 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
311 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
312 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
313 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
314 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
316 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
320 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
321 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
322 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
326 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
329 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
334 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
335 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
339 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
340 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
342 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
343 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
344 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
345 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
347 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
351 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
355 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
356 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
358 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
359 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
360 - Moose::Util::does_role
361 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
362 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
363 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
365 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
369 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
370 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
371 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
374 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
378 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
379 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
382 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
386 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
387 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
390 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
394 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
396 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
397 class. (Dave Rolsky).
399 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
400 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
401 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
403 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
404 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
405 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
408 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
409 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
411 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
412 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
413 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
415 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
417 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
418 substr et al, again. (sorear)
420 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
422 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
425 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
426 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
428 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
429 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
431 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
432 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
433 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
434 dependencies installed.
436 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
437 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
440 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
442 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
446 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
449 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
450 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
452 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
453 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
454 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
456 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
457 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
460 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
461 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
462 others. (nothingmuch)
464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
465 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
466 remove_accessors. (doy)
468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
469 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
470 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
473 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
475 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
477 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
478 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
481 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
482 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
485 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
487 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
489 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
490 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
493 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
494 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
495 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
496 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
497 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
499 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
502 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
503 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
504 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
505 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
508 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
509 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
510 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
511 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
512 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
514 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
515 which were not receiving the value of
516 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
517 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
518 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
519 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
523 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
524 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
525 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
526 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
527 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
531 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
532 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
533 - added tests for this (Stevan)
536 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
537 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
538 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
541 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
542 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
543 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
546 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
547 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
550 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
551 class if you pass it options for
552 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
553 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
554 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
555 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
556 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
557 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
558 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
559 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
560 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
563 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
564 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
565 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
566 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
569 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
571 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
572 existing delegation API. (hdp)
574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
575 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
576 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
577 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
578 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
579 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
582 * Moose::Error::Croak
583 * Moose::Error::Confess
584 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
585 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
588 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
591 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
592 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
593 installing a broken sub. (doy)
596 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
599 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
600 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
601 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
603 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
604 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
605 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
606 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
607 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
610 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
613 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
615 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
616 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
619 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
620 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
622 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
624 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
625 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
628 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
629 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
630 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
631 using it for new code!
633 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
634 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
635 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
636 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
638 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
639 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
640 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
641 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
642 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
643 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
644 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
645 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
648 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
651 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
652 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
656 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
658 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
659 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
660 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
664 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
665 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
668 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
669 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
671 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
672 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
673 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
676 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
678 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
679 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
680 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
681 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
683 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
685 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
688 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
689 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
690 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
692 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
693 associated_methods. (hdp)
694 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
695 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
696 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
697 misspelled) arguments
699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
700 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
701 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
702 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
705 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
706 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
708 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
712 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
713 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
716 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
717 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
719 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
721 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
722 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
724 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
725 * Moose::Manual::Types
726 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
727 string parsing rathole (mst)
729 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
730 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
731 using plain objects instead
733 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
734 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
737 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
739 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
740 three times today (perigrin)
741 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
742 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
744 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
745 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
746 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
747 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
750 - A role's required methods are now represented by
751 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
752 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
753 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
754 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
755 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
758 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
759 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
760 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
761 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
764 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
766 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
769 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
771 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
774 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
775 during global destruction. This method has been made more
776 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
780 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
781 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
784 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
785 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
787 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
788 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
789 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
792 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
794 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
795 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
798 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
802 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
803 methods during global destruction (doy)
806 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
807 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
811 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
812 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
815 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
816 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
819 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
820 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
822 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
824 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
828 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
829 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
830 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
833 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
834 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
835 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
838 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
840 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
842 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
846 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
847 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
848 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
850 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
851 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
852 of the Moose core (Sartak)
855 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
858 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
859 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
860 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
864 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
865 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
868 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
870 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
873 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
874 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
877 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
878 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
881 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
882 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
885 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
888 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
890 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
891 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
895 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
897 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
898 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
901 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
902 * More deprecations and renamings
903 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
904 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
905 when an object is constructed)
908 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
909 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
910 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
913 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
914 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
915 feature, and it works again.
918 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
920 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
922 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
923 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
924 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
927 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
928 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
929 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
930 message. Test provided by perigrin.
932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
933 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
934 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
935 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
936 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
939 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
940 metaclass object. (hdp)
942 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
943 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
944 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
945 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
946 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
947 point out this fact. (hdp)
949 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
950 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
952 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
953 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
956 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
957 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
958 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
959 called during instance construction were passed the
960 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
961 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
963 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
964 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
967 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
968 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
969 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
972 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
973 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
974 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
975 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
976 them, but they are not for "public" use.
979 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
981 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
982 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
983 when an object is constructed)
984 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
986 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
987 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
988 when an object is constructed)
989 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
990 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
991 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
994 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
996 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
997 * No changes from 0.72_01.
999 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1001 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1002 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1003 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1006 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1007 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1009 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1011 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1012 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1014 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1015 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1018 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1019 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1022 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1023 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1024 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1027 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1031 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1032 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1033 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1036 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1039 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1040 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1041 with recommended workarounds.
1043 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1044 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1047 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1048 (yes, spelled like that).
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1051 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1053 * Moose::Meta::Class
1054 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1055 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1057 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1060 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1061 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1062 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1063 instead. Reported by doy.
1065 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1067 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1068 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1071 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1072 message) is now deprecated.
1073 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1074 often got it wrong. For example:
1076 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1078 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1082 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1083 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1084 bite you in weird cases.
1086 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1087 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1088 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1089 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1091 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1092 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1096 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1099 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1100 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1103 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1104 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1107 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1110 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1112 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1113 - added tests for this (stevan)
1115 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1116 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1117 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1118 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1122 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1123 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1124 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1125 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1127 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1128 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1129 - added tests for this (rafl)
1131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1132 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1133 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1134 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1138 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1139 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1142 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1143 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1144 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1148 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1149 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1152 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1153 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1154 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1155 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1158 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1159 error message did not specify the attribute name
1162 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1164 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1166 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1167 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1168 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1171 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1174 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1176 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1177 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1178 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1179 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1181 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1183 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1184 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1185 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1186 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1189 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1190 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1192 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1193 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1194 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1195 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1196 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1199 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1200 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1201 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1202 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1205 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1206 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1207 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1208 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1209 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1211 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1212 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1213 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1214 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1215 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1216 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1219 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1221 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1222 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1223 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1224 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1230 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1234 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1235 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1238 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1239 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1240 guts. (nothingmuch).
1242 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1244 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1247 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1248 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1249 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Class
1252 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1255 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1256 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1258 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1259 * Moose::Unsweetened
1260 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1263 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1264 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1265 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1266 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1267 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1268 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1271 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1272 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1273 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1274 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1275 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1276 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1277 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1278 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1279 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1283 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1284 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1286 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1287 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1288 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1289 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1291 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1292 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1293 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1294 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1295 same methods for a single role did not work
1296 right (worked just fine with multiple
1298 - added test for this (stevan)
1300 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1301 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1302 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1305 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1306 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1307 - added test for this (t0m)
1310 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1311 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1312 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1315 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1316 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1317 - added test for this (t0m)
1319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1320 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1321 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1322 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1323 - added test for this (perigrin)
1326 - create method for constructing a role
1327 dynamically (Sartak)
1328 - added test for this (Sartak)
1329 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1330 - added test for this (Sartak)
1333 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1336 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1337 methods is useful (Sartak)
1339 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1341 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1344 * Moose::Meta::Class
1345 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1346 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1347 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1348 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1349 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1353 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1354 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1358 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1359 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1360 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1362 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1364 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1365 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1369 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1370 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1371 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1372 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1373 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1374 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1378 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1379 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1380 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1381 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1382 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1383 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1384 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1385 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1386 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1387 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1389 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1390 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1393 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1394 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1395 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1396 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1397 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1399 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1401 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1402 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1403 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1406 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1408 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1409 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1410 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1411 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1414 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1415 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1417 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1419 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1420 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1422 * Moose::Meta::Class
1423 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1424 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1425 a required attribute
1427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1429 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1430 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1433 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1436 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1437 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1438 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1439 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1440 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1441 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1442 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1444 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1445 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1446 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1448 * Roles and role application
1449 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1450 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1451 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1452 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1453 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1455 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1456 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1459 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1460 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1461 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1462 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1463 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1466 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1467 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1468 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1469 changes in the Moose internals.
1471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1473 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1476 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1477 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1478 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1479 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1482 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1483 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1484 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1487 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1488 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1489 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1490 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1491 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1492 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1493 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1494 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1495 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1496 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1497 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1498 constraint implementations.
1500 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1504 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1505 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1506 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1507 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1508 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1509 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1510 - added tests for this (rafl)
1512 * Moose::Meta::Class
1513 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1514 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1515 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1516 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1517 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1518 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1519 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1523 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1524 - added tests for this (thepler)
1526 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1527 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1528 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1529 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1532 * Moose::Meta::Class
1533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1534 * Moose::Meta::Method
1537 * Moose::Error::Default
1538 * Moose::Error::Croak
1539 * Moose::Error::Confess
1540 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1541 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1542 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1543 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1544 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1545 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1547 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1549 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1550 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1552 * Moose::Unsweetened
1553 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1554 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1555 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1558 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1559 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1560 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1561 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1564 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1565 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1567 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1568 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1569 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1570 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1573 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1575 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1576 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1578 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1581 - Various bug fixes.
1583 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1584 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1586 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1588 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1589 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1591 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1592 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1593 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1596 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1597 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1600 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1601 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1604 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1605 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1606 dependency to 0.64_07.
1608 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1609 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1610 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1613 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1616 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1617 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1618 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1619 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1620 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1621 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1623 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1624 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1626 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1628 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1629 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1633 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1634 method when that method was provided by another role being
1635 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1638 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1640 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1641 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1644 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1645 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1646 - added test for this (t0m)
1648 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1649 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1650 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1652 - added test for this (t0m)
1655 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1656 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1657 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1661 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1663 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1665 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1666 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1669 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1670 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1673 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1678 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1679 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1683 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1684 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1685 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1689 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1690 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1691 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1694 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1698 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1699 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1700 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1702 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1703 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1704 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1705 created so that the process can be more easily

1718 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1720 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1721 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1722 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1725 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1726 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1729 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1731 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1732 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1736 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1740 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1741 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1743 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1744 ... this is not my day today ...
1746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1747 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1748 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1749 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1750 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1753 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1754 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1755 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1756 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1757 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1760 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1762 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1763 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1764 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1765 this is not ever something you want to do
1766 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1767 - added tests for this (stevan)
1770 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1772 - added test for this
1774 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1775 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1776 - added tests for this (wreis)
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1779 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1780 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1781 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1783 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1784 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1785 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1788 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1790 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1792 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1795 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1796 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1797 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1798 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1799 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1800 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1801 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1802 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 - added tests for this
1805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1806 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1807 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1808 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1810 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1813 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1814 - added tests for this (sartak)
1815 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1816 install_delegation method (Stevan)

1825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1826 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1827 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1829 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1831 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1865 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1866 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1869 - move the ClassName type check code to
1870 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1872 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1873 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1875 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1876 (early morning release engineering)--
1878 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1879 which was causing the indexer to choke
1881 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1882 (late night release engineering)--
1884 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1885 changes in this release
1887 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1888 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1889 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

1893 since it is called so often by &meta
1895 * Moose::Meta::Class
1897 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1898 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1902 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1903 method for immutablization to check if the
1904 destructor object even needs to be created
1907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1908 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1909 - added more descriptive error message to help
1910 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1911 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1913 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1915 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1916 XS based functionality is now optional
1917 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1918 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1919 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1921 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1922 to take care of this, mostly we added
1923 support for the package_name and name
1924 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1925 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1926 support regexp matching of names
1927 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1928 - tests added for this
1929 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1930 is currently not supported in roles,
1931 but, ... patches welcome
1932 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1933 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1934 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1937 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1938 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1939 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1940 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1941 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1942 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1943 - added test for this
1945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1946 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1947 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1950 * Moose::Meta::Class
1951 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1955 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1957 - added tests for this
1958 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1959 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1962 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1963 themselves parameterizable types
1965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1966 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1967 called by the inlined immutable
1969 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1971 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1972 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1973 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1974 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1976 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1977 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1981 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1982 causing occasional cpantester failures

1986 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1988 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1989 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1992 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1993 ->body when looping through the
1994 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1996 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1997 eating the $@ values, and so not
1998 working correctly, it still kind of
1999 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2000 - added tests for this
2002 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2003 - added new recipe for immutable
2004 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2006 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2007 - added new recipe for builder and
2008 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2010 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2011 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2012 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2015 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2017 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2018 since Module::Install has done that.
2020 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2022 drink more coffee before
2023 doing release engineering
2025 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2026 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2027 modules. This fixes that.
2029 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2030 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2031 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2033 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2034 since we have tests which need the C3
2037 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2038 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2040 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2041 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2043 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2044 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2045 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2046 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2052 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2053 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2055 * Moose::Meta::Class
2056 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2057 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2059 - added test for this
2061 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2062 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2063 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2064 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2065 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2066 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2068 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2069 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2072 Moose::Meta::Method::Augmented

2140 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2142 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2143 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2186 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2187 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2433 - added tests for this
2436 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2437 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2479 - fixed how required methods are handled
2480 when they encounter overriden or modified
2481 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2482 - added tests for this

2492 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2495 * Parameterized Types
2496 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2497 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2498 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2499 They can also be nested:
2500 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2501 And work with the type unions as well:
2502 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2504 * Better Framework Extendability
2505 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2506 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2507 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2508 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2511 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2512 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2513 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2514 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2744 correctly (and not override important
2745 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2747 - added tests and docs for this
2748 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2749 so that you can actually document your
2750 attributes and inspect them through the
2752 - added tests and docs for this
2754 * Moose::Meta::Class
2755 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2756 it will first look in for the class in the
2757 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2758 then default to just loading $name.
2759 - added tests and docs for this
2761 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2762 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2763 - added test for this
2766 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2767 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2768 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2769 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2771 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2772 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2775 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2777 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2778 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2779 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2782 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2783 !! for this developer release to work !!
2785 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2786 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2787 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2788 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2789 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2790 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2791 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2792 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2793 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2794 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2795 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2797 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2798 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2799 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2800 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2803 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2805 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2806 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2807 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2809 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2811 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2812 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2815 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2816 called unless they actually need to be.
2817 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2818 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2819 DEMOLISH method present.
2821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2822 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2823 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2824 type constraint, which allows for a
2825 hand optimized version of the type
2826 constraint to be used when possible.
2827 - Any internally created type constraints
2828 now provide an optimized version as well.
2830 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2832 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2833 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2834 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2837 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2838 your class namespace of these exported
2841 * Moose::Meta::Class
2842 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2843 comes up during global destruction
2845 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2849 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2853 - changed how we do type checks so that
2854 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2857 - moved accessor generation methods to
2858 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2859 conform to the API changes from
2862 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2863 - changed how constraints are compiled
2864 so that we do less recursion and more
2865 iteration. This makes the type check
2867 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2871 - created this from methods formerly found in
2872 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2874 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2875 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2877 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2878 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2880 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2881 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2883 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2886 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2887 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2888 - added tests for this
2889 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2890 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2891 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2892 - removed tests for this
2894 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2896 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2897 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2898 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2901 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2902 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2903 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2905 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2906 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2907 comments for more info.
2910 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2911 asked questions and common problems
2913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2914 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2915 - added tests for this
2917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2918 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2919 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2920 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2922 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2923 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2926 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2927 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2928 is much appreciated :)
2929 - added tests for this
2931 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2932 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2933 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2937 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2939 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2941 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2942 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2946 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2947 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2948 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2950 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2952 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2955 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2956 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2957 keywords because we need to localize them.
2958 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2960 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2961 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2962 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2965 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2969 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2970 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2973 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2974 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2975 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2977 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2979 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2980 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2981 bottom of your class file.
2984 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2987 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2989 - improved error message when loading modules so
2990 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2991 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2992 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2995 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2996 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2997 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2999 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3000 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3002 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3003 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3004 turn them on for you.
3005 - added tests for this
3006 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3007 in Moose::Meta::Class
3010 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3011 automatically turned on for you.

3034 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3035 - This release works in combination with
3036 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3037 release because it uses the a new
3038 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3039 complete Role implementation. It has
3040 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3041 the the previous CPAN version. This
3042 release also lacks good updated docs,
3043 the official release will have updated docs.
3046 - refactored the keyword exports
3047 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3048 accepts more than one Role at a time
3049 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3050 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3053 - refactored the keyword exports
3054 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3055 accepts more than one Role at a time
3057 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3059 string enumerations which can be used as
3061 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3064 - more careful checking of params to new()
3067 - much work done on the role composition
3068 - many new tests for conflict detection
3069 and composition edge cases
3070 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3071 looking at the tests
3073 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3074 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3075 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3085 - some small changes to support the new
3087 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3088 with the 'handles' option

3096 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3097 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3098 on a per-attribute basis
3099 - added tests for this
3100 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3101 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3102 experimental feature and probably not finished

3104 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3105 - added tests for this

3167 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3169 - added test for this
