1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
9 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
10 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
14 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
15 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
17 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
18 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
20 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
24 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
25 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
26 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
27 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
31 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
32 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
34 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
38 * Update conflicts list.
41 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
45 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
46 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
47 details. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
50 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
51 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
52 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
53 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
57 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
58 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
59 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
60 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
61 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
64 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
68 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
69 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
71 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
74 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
78 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
79 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
80 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
81 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
83 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
84 immutable classes). (mo)
86 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
87 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
88 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
90 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
94 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
96 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
98 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
102 * Fix some indexing issues.
104 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
106 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
110 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
111 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
112 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
113 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
114 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
116 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
117 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
122 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
123 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
124 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
125 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
127 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
128 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
129 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
133 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
134 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
137 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
141 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
142 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
146 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
150 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
151 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
152 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
153 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
156 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
160 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
163 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
167 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
168 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
169 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
172 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
176 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
177 policy. (Chris Prather)
179 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
180 on this new support policy. (doy)
184 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
185 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
186 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
188 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
189 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
191 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
195 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
196 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
197 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
198 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
201 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
205 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
206 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
209 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
213 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
214 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
216 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
217 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
221 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
222 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
223 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
224 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
225 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
226 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
228 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
229 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
231 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
232 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
233 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
234 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
236 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
237 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
239 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
244 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
245 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
247 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
251 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
252 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
253 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
255 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
259 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
260 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
261 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
263 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
264 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
267 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
268 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
271 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
272 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
273 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
275 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
276 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
281 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
282 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
283 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
284 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
286 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
287 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
289 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
290 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
292 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
293 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
294 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
295 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
297 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
298 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
299 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
302 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
303 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
304 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
305 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
307 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
308 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
311 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
312 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
313 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
315 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
319 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
320 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
321 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
323 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
324 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
325 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
328 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
329 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
330 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
332 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
333 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
334 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
336 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
337 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
341 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
342 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
343 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
345 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
346 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
347 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
348 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
350 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
354 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
355 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
356 value is a reference.
358 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
359 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
361 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
365 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
366 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
367 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
369 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
373 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
374 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
378 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
379 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
380 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
382 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
383 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
384 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
386 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
390 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
392 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
396 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
398 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
399 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
404 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
405 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
407 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
408 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
409 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
410 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
411 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
413 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
414 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
415 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
416 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
418 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
422 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
423 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
428 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
430 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
432 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
437 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
439 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
443 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
444 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
445 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
447 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
448 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
449 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
450 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
452 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
453 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
454 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
455 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
456 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
459 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
464 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
465 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
466 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
467 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
468 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
471 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
475 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
478 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
479 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
483 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
484 function (not just method). (doy)
488 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
489 and aren't easily installable/testable.
491 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
495 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
496 to be overridden more easily (doy).
498 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
502 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
503 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
505 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
509 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
510 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
511 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
513 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
517 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
518 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
519 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
521 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
522 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
526 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
527 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
529 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
530 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
534 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
535 is applied to a class (t0m).
537 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
538 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
540 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
543 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
544 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
546 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
547 be much more robust. (doy)
549 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
551 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
554 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
558 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
559 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
561 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
565 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
566 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
568 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
571 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
572 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
573 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
575 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
576 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
577 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
580 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
582 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
586 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
587 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
591 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
593 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
598 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
602 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
603 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
607 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
609 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
613 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
614 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
618 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
619 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
623 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
624 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
626 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
630 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
631 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
632 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
635 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
639 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
640 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
641 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
642 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
644 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
648 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
649 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
650 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
654 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
657 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
662 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
663 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
667 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
668 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
670 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
671 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
672 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
673 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
675 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
679 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
683 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
684 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
686 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
687 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
688 - Moose::Util::does_role
689 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
690 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
691 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
693 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
697 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
698 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
699 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
702 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
706 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
707 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
710 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
714 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
715 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
718 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
722 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
724 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
725 class. (Dave Rolsky).
727 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
728 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
729 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
731 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
732 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
733 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
736 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
737 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
739 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
740 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
741 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
743 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
745 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
746 substr et al, again. (sorear)
748 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
750 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
753 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
754 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
756 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
757 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
759 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
760 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
761 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
762 dependencies installed.
764 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
765 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
768 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
770 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
774 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
777 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
778 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
781 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
782 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
784 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
785 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
788 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
789 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
790 others. (nothingmuch)
792 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
793 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
794 remove_accessors. (doy)
796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
797 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
798 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
801 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
803 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
805 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
806 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
809 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
810 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
813 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
815 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
817 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
818 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
822 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
823 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
824 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
825 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
827 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
828 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
830 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
831 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
832 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
833 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
836 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
837 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
838 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
839 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
840 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
842 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
843 which were not receiving the value of
844 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
845 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
846 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
847 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
851 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
852 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
853 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
854 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
855 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
859 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
860 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
861 - added tests for this (Stevan)
864 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
865 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
866 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
869 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
871 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
874 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
875 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
878 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
879 class if you pass it options for
880 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
881 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
882 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
883 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
884 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
885 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
886 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
887 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
888 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
890 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
891 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
892 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
893 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
894 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
897 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
899 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
900 existing delegation API. (hdp)
902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
903 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
904 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
905 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
906 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
907 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
910 * Moose::Error::Croak
911 * Moose::Error::Confess
912 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
913 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
916 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
919 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
920 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
921 installing a broken sub. (doy)
924 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
927 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
928 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
929 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
931 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
932 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
933 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
934 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
935 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
938 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
941 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
943 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
944 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
947 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
948 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
951 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
952 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
953 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
956 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
957 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
958 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
959 using it for new code!
961 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
962 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
963 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
964 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
966 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
967 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
968 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
969 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
970 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
971 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
972 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
973 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
976 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
979 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
980 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
984 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
987 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
988 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
992 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
993 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
996 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
997 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
999 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1000 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1001 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1004 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1006 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1007 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1008 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1009 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1011 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1013 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1016 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1017 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1018 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1020 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1021 associated_methods. (hdp)
1022 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1023 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1024 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1025 misspelled) arguments
1027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1028 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1029 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1030 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1034 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1036 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1040 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1041 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1044 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1045 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1047 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1048 * Moose::Meta::Class
1049 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1050 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1052 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1053 * Moose::Manual::Types
1054 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1055 string parsing rathole (mst)
1057 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1058 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1059 using plain objects instead
1061 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1062 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1063 that's what we need.
1065 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1066 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1067 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1068 three times today (perigrin)
1069 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1070 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1073 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1074 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1075 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1078 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1079 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1080 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1081 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1082 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1083 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1086 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1087 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1088 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1089 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1092 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1094 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1097 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1099 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1102 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1103 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1104 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1108 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1109 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1112 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1113 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1115 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1116 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1117 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1119 * Moose::Unsweetened
1120 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1122 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1123 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1126 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1130 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1131 methods during global destruction (doy)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Class
1134 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1135 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1136 consumption (Sartak)
1138 * Moose::Meta::Class
1139 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1140 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1143 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1144 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1147 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1148 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1150 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1152 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1156 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1157 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1158 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1161 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1162 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1163 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1166 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1168 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1170 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1174 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1175 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1176 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1179 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1180 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1183 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1186 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1187 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1188 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1192 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1193 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Class
1196 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1198 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1202 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1205 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1206 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1209 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1210 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1213 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1216 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1218 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1219 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1226 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1229 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1230 * More deprecations and renamings
1231 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1232 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1233 when an object is constructed)
1236 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1237 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1238 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1241 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1242 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1243 feature, and it works again.
1246 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1248 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1250 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1251 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1252 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1255 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1256 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1257 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1258 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1262 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1263 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1264 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1267 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1268 metaclass object. (hdp)
1270 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1274 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1275 point out this fact. (hdp)
1277 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1278 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1280 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1281 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1283 * Moose::Meta::Class
1284 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1285 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1286 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1287 called during instance construction were passed the
1288 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1289 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1291 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1292 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1295 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1296 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1297 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1300 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1301 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1302 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1303 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1304 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1306 - Moose::Meta::Class
1307 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1309 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1310 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1311 when an object is constructed)
1312 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1314 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1315 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1316 when an object is constructed)
1317 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1318 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1319 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1322 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1324 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1325 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1327 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1329 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1330 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1331 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1334 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1335 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1337 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1339 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1340 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1343 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1346 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1347 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1350 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1351 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1352 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1355 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1359 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1360 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1361 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1363 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1364 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1367 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1368 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1369 with recommended workarounds.
1371 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1372 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1375 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1376 (yes, spelled like that).
1378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1379 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1381 * Moose::Meta::Class
1382 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1383 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1385 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1388 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1389 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1390 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1391 instead. Reported by doy.
1393 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1395 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1396 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1399 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1400 message) is now deprecated.
1401 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1402 often got it wrong. For example:
1404 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1406 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1410 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1411 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1412 bite you in weird cases.
1414 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1415 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1416 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1417 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1419 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1420 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1424 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1427 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1428 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1432 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1435 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1438 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1440 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1441 - added tests for this (stevan)
1443 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1444 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1445 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1446 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1450 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1451 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1452 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1453 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1455 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1456 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1457 - added tests for this (rafl)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1460 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1461 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1462 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1466 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1467 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1470 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1471 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1472 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1474 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1476 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1477 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1480 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1481 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1482 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1483 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1486 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1487 error message did not specify the attribute name
1490 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1492 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1494 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1495 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1496 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1499 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1502 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1504 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1505 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1506 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1507 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1509 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1511 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1512 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1513 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1514 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1517 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1518 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1521 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1522 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1523 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1524 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1527 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1528 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1529 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1530 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1532 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1533 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1534 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1535 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1536 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1537 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1539 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1540 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1541 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1542 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1543 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1544 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1547 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1549 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1550 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1551 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1552 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1555 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1558 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1562 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1563 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1565 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1566 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1567 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1568 guts. (nothingmuch).
1570 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1571 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1572 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1575 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1576 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1577 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1579 * Moose::Meta::Class
1580 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1583 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1584 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1586 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1587 * Moose::Unsweetened
1588 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1591 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1592 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1593 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1594 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1595 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1596 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1599 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1600 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1601 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1602 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1603 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1604 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1606 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1607 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1609 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1611 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1612 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1615 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1616 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1617 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1620 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1621 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1622 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1623 same methods for a single role did not work
1624 right (worked just fine with multiple
1626 - added test for this (stevan)
1628 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1629 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1630 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1633 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1634 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1635 - added test for this (t0m)
1638 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1639 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1640 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1643 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1644 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1645 - added test for this (t0m)
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1648 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1649 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1650 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1651 - added test for this (perigrin)
1654 - create method for constructing a role
1655 dynamically (Sartak)
1656 - added test for this (Sartak)
1657 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1658 - added test for this (Sartak)
1661 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1663 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1664 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1665 methods is useful (Sartak)
1667 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1668 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1669 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1672 * Moose::Meta::Class
1673 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1674 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1675 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1676 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1677 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1681 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1682 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1685 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1686 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1687 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1688 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1692 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1693 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1697 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1698 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1699 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1700 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1701 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1702 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1706 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1707 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1708 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1709 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1710 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1711 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1712 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1713 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1714 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1715 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1718 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1721 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1722 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1723 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1724 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1725 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1727 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1729 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1730 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1731 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1734 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1737 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1738 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1739 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1743 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1745 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1747 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1748 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1750 * Moose::Meta::Class
1751 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1752 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1753 a required attribute
1755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1756 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1757 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1758 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1761 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1764 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1765 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1766 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1767 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1768 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1769 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1770 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1773 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1774 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1776 * Roles and role application
1777 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1778 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1779 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1780 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1781 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1783 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1784 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1788 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1789 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1790 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1791 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1794 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1795 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1796 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1797 changes in the Moose internals.
1799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1801 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1804 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1805 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1806 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1807 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1810 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1811 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1812 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1815 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1816 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1817 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1818 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1819 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1820 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1821 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1822 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1823 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1824 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1825 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1826 constraint implementations.
1828 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1832 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1833 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1834 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1835 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1836 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1837 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1838 - added tests for this (rafl)
1840 * Moose::Meta::Class
1841 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1842 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1843 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1844 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1845 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1846 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1847 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1851 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1852 - added tests for this (thepler)
1854 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1855 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1856 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1857 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1860 * Moose::Meta::Class
1861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1862 * Moose::Meta::Method
1865 * Moose::Error::Default
1866 * Moose::Error::Croak
1867 * Moose::Error::Confess
1868 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1869 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1870 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1871 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1872 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1873 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1875 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1877 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1878 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1880 * Moose::Unsweetened
1881 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1882 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1883 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1886 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1887 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1888 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1889 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1892 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1893 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1895 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1896 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1897 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1898 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1901 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1903 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1904 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1906 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1909 - Various bug fixes.
1911 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1912 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1914 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1916 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1917 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1918 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1919 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1920 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1921 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1924 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1925 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1927 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1928 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1929 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1932 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1933 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1934 dependency to 0.64_07.
1936 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1937 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1938 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1941 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1945 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1946 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1947 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1948 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1949 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1951 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1952 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1954 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1956 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1957 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1961 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1962 method when that method was provided by another role being
1963 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1964 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1966 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1968 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1969 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1971 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1972 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1973 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1974 - added test for this (t0m)
1976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1977 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1978 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1980 - added test for this (t0m)
1983 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1984 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1985 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1989 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1991 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1993 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1994 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1997 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1998 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2001 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2005 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2006 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2007 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2011 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2012 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2013 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2016 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2017 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2018 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2019 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2022 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2026 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2027 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2028 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2030 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2032 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2033 created so that the process can be more easily
2034 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2037 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2038 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2039 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2042 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2045 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2046 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2048 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2049 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2050 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2052 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

2068 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2069 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2071 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2072 ... this is not my day today ...
2074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2075 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2076 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2077 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2078 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2081 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2082 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2083 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2084 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2085 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2088 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2090 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2091 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2092 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2093 this is not ever something you want to do
2094 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2095 - added tests for this (stevan)

2120 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2123 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2124 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2125 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2126 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2127 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2128 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2129 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2130 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2131 - added tests for this
2133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2134 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2135 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2237 - added more descriptive error message to help
2238 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

2241 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2243 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2244 XS based functionality is now optional
2245 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2246 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2247 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2350 drink more coffee before
2351 doing release engineering
2353 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2468 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2470 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2742 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2743 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2744 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2745 instead it will just return undef.
2746 - added docs for this
2748 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2761 - added tests for this
2764 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2765 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2807 - fixed how required methods are handled
2808 when they encounter overriden or modified
2809 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2810 - added tests for this
2812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2813 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2814 the | always creates a union and so is
2815 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2816 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2818 - added more tests for this
2820 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2823 * Parameterized Types
2824 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2825 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2826 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2827 They can also be nested:
2828 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2829 And work with the type unions as well:
2830 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2832 * Better Framework Extendability
2833 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2834 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2835 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2836 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2839 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2840 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2841 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2842 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2845 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2847 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2848 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2890 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2891 +++ with new features added as well +++
2893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2907 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2908 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2910 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2927 (thanks to shlomif).
2929 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2930 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2931 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2932 - added tests for this

2969 - added tests for these
2971 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2972 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2975 - added support for roles to be given as parameters

2980 (but not changing the handles option)
2981 - added tests and docs for this
2984 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2985 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2996 the other side (perigrin)
2998 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3000 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3001 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3002 prototypes for functions
3003 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3004 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3014 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3017 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3018 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3019 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3020 - added tests for this
3022 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3024 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3037 where not handled correctly in roles
3038 - added tests for this
3040 * Moose::Meta::Class
3041 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3042 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3043 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3045 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3046 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3048 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3049 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3050 so this release is just to fix that.
3053 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3054 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3055 (thanks to konobi for this)
3056 - added tests and docs
3058 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3059 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3061 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3062 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3063 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3064 - added tests for this
3065 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3066 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3067 functions to facilitate introspection.
3069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3070 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3071 to build the list of delegated methods
3072 correctly (and not override important
3073 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3075 - added tests and docs for this
3076 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3077 so that you can actually document your
3078 attributes and inspect them through the
3080 - added tests and docs for this
3082 * Moose::Meta::Class
3083 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3084 it will first look in for the class in the
3085 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3086 then default to just loading $name.
3087 - added tests and docs for this
3089 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3090 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3091 - added test for this
3094 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3095 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3096 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3097 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3099 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3100 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3103 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3105 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3106 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3107 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3110 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3111 !! for this developer release to work !!
3113 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3114 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3115 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3116 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3117 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3118 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3119 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3120 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3121 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3122 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3123 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3125 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3126 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3127 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3128 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3131 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3133 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3134 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3135 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3137 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3139 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3140 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3143 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3144 called unless they actually need to be.
3145 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3146 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3147 DEMOLISH method present.
3149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3151 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3152 type constraint, which allows for a
3153 hand optimized version of the type
3154 constraint to be used when possible.
3155 - Any internally created type constraints
3156 now provide an optimized version as well.
3158 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3160 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3161 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3162 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3165 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3166 your class namespace of these exported
3169 * Moose::Meta::Class
3170 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3171 comes up during global destruction
3173 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3177 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3181 - changed how we do type checks so that
3182 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3185 - moved accessor generation methods to
3186 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3187 conform to the API changes from
3190 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3191 - changed how constraints are compiled
3192 so that we do less recursion and more
3193 iteration. This makes the type check
3195 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3199 - created this from methods formerly found in
3200 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3202 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3203 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3206 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3209 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3211 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3214 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3215 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3216 - added tests for this
3217 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3218 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3219 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3220 - removed tests for this
3222 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3224 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3225 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3226 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3229 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3230 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3231 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3233 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3234 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3235 comments for more info.
3238 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3239 asked questions and common problems
3241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3242 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3243 - added tests for this
3245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3246 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3247 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3248 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3250 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3251 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3254 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3255 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3256 is much appreciated :)
3257 - added tests for this
3259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3260 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3261 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3265 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3267 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3269 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3270 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3274 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3275 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3276 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3278 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3280 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3283 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3284 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3285 keywords because we need to localize them.
3286 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3288 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3289 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3290 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3293 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3297 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3298 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3301 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3302 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3303 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3305 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3307 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3308 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3309 bottom of your class file.
3312 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3315 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3317 - improved error message when loading modules so
3318 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3319 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3320 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3323 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3324 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3325 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3327 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3328 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3330 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3331 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3332 turn them on for you.
3333 - added tests for this
3334 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3335 in Moose::Meta::Class
3338 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3339 automatically turned on for you.
3340 - added tests for this
3343 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3344 - added tests for this
3345 - added some more edge case tests
3347 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
3348 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3350 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3354 - added prototypes to the exported subs
3357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3358 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3361 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3362 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3363 - This release works in combination with
3364 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3365 release because it uses the a new
3366 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3367 complete Role implementation. It has
3368 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3369 the the previous CPAN version. This
3370 release also lacks good updated docs,
3371 the official release will have updated docs.
3374 - refactored the keyword exports
3375 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3376 accepts more than one Role at a time
3377 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3378 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3381 - refactored the keyword exports
3382 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3383 accepts more than one Role at a time
3385 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3386 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3387 string enumerations which can be used as
3389 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3392 - more careful checking of params to new()
3395 - much work done on the role composition
3396 - many new tests for conflict detection
3397 and composition edge cases
3398 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3399 looking at the tests
3401 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3402 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3403 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3405 * Moose::Meta::Class
3406 - some small changes to support the new
3408 - some small additions to support Roles
3410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3411 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3413 - some small changes to support the new
3415 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3416 with the 'handles' option
3417 - added several tests for this
3418 - no docs for this yet
3420 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3422 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3423 thanks to chansen for this commit
3424 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3425 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3426 on a per-attribute basis
3427 - added tests for this
3428 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3429 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3430 experimental feature and probably not finished
3431 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3432 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3433 - added tests for this
3436 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3438 * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints
3439 - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks
3440 to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice
3442 - added some tests for this
3443 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3444 thanks to chansen for this commit
3446 * Moose::Meta::Class
3447 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
