1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
9 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
10 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
11 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
12 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
14 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
15 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
20 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
21 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
22 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
23 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
25 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
26 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
27 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
31 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
32 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
34 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
38 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
39 policy. (Chris Prather)
41 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
42 on this new support policy. (doy)
46 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
47 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
48 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
50 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
51 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
53 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
57 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
58 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
59 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
60 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
67 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
68 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
71 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
75 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
76 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
78 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
79 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
83 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
84 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
85 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
86 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
87 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
88 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
91 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
93 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
94 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
95 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
98 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
99 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
101 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
106 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
107 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
109 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
113 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
114 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
115 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
117 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
121 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
122 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
123 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
125 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
126 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
129 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
130 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
133 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
134 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
135 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
137 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
138 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
143 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
144 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
145 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
146 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
149 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
151 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
152 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
154 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
155 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
156 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
157 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
159 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
160 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
161 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
164 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
165 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
166 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
167 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
170 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
173 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
174 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
175 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
177 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
181 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
182 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
183 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
185 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
186 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
187 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
190 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
191 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
192 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
194 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
195 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
196 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
198 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
199 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
203 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
204 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
205 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
207 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
208 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
209 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
210 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
212 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
216 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
217 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
218 value is a reference.
220 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
221 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
223 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
227 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
228 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
229 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
231 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
235 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
236 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
240 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
241 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
242 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
244 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
245 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
246 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
248 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
252 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
254 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
258 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
260 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
261 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
266 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
267 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
269 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
270 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
271 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
272 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
273 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
275 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
276 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
277 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
278 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
280 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
284 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
285 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
290 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
292 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
294 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
299 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
301 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
305 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
306 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
307 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
309 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
310 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
311 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
312 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
314 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
315 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
316 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
317 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
318 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
321 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
326 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
327 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
328 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
329 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
330 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
333 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
337 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
340 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
341 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
345 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
346 function (not just method). (doy)
350 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
351 and aren't easily installable/testable.
353 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
357 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
358 to be overridden more easily (doy).
360 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
364 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
365 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
367 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
371 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
372 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
373 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
375 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
379 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
380 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
381 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
383 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
384 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
388 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
389 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
391 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
392 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
396 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
397 is applied to a class (t0m).
399 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
400 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
402 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
405 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
406 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
408 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
409 be much more robust. (doy)
411 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
413 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
416 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
420 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
421 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
423 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
427 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
428 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
430 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
433 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
434 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
435 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
437 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
438 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
439 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
442 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
444 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
448 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
449 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
453 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
455 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
460 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
464 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
465 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
469 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
471 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
475 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
476 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
480 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
481 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
485 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
486 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
488 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
492 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
493 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
494 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
497 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
501 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
502 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
503 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
504 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
506 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
510 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
511 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
512 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
516 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
519 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
524 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
525 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
529 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
530 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
532 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
533 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
534 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
535 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
537 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
541 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
545 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
546 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
548 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
549 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
550 - Moose::Util::does_role
551 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
552 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
553 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
555 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
559 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
560 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
561 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
564 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
568 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
569 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
572 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
576 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
577 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
580 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
584 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
586 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
587 class. (Dave Rolsky).
589 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
590 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
591 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
594 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
595 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
598 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
599 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
601 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
602 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
603 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
605 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
607 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
608 substr et al, again. (sorear)
610 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
612 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
615 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
616 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
618 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
619 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
621 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
622 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
623 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
624 dependencies installed.
626 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
627 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
630 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
632 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
636 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
639 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
640 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
643 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
644 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
646 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
647 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
650 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
651 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
652 others. (nothingmuch)
654 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
655 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
656 remove_accessors. (doy)
658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
659 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
660 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
663 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
665 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
667 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
668 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
671 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
672 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
674 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
675 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
677 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
679 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
680 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
684 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
685 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
686 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
687 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
689 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
692 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
693 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
694 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
695 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
698 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
699 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
700 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
701 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
702 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
704 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
705 which were not receiving the value of
706 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
707 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
708 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
709 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
713 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
714 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
715 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
716 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
717 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
721 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
722 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
723 - added tests for this (Stevan)
726 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
727 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
728 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
731 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
733 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
736 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
737 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
740 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
741 class if you pass it options for
742 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
743 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
744 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
745 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
746 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
747 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
748 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
749 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
750 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
752 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
753 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
754 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
755 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
756 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
759 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
761 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
762 existing delegation API. (hdp)
764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
765 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
766 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
767 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
768 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
769 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
772 * Moose::Error::Croak
773 * Moose::Error::Confess
774 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
775 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
778 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
781 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
782 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
783 installing a broken sub. (doy)
786 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
789 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
790 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
791 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
793 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
794 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
795 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
796 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
797 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
800 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
803 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
805 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
806 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
809 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
810 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
814 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
815 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
818 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
819 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
820 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
821 using it for new code!
823 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
824 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
825 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
826 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
828 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
829 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
830 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
831 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
832 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
833 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
834 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
835 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
838 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
841 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
842 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
846 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
849 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
850 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
853 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
854 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
855 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
858 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
859 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
862 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
863 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
866 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
867 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
868 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
869 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
870 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
871 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
873 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
875 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
878 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
879 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
880 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
882 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
883 associated_methods. (hdp)
884 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
885 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
886 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
887 misspelled) arguments
889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
890 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
891 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
892 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
894 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
895 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
896 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
898 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
901 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
902 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
903 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
906 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
907 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
909 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
911 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
912 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
914 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
915 * Moose::Manual::Types
916 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
917 string parsing rathole (mst)
919 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
920 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
921 using plain objects instead
923 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
924 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
927 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
929 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
930 three times today (perigrin)
931 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
932 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
935 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
936 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
937 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
940 - A role's required methods are now represented by
941 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
942 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
943 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
944 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
945 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
948 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
949 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
950 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
951 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
954 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
956 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
959 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
961 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
964 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
965 during global destruction. This method has been made more
966 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
970 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
971 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
974 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
975 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
977 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
978 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
979 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
982 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
984 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
985 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
988 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
992 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
993 methods during global destruction (doy)
996 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
997 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1000 * Moose::Meta::Class
1001 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1002 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1005 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1006 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1009 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1010 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1012 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1014 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1018 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1019 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1020 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1023 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1024 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1025 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1028 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1030 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1032 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1036 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1037 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1038 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1040 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1041 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1042 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1045 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1048 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1049 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1050 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1054 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1055 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1057 * Moose::Meta::Class
1058 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1060 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1062 * Moose::Meta::Class
1063 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1064 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1067 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1068 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1071 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1072 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1075 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1078 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1081 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1084 * Moose::Meta::Class
1085 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1088 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1091 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1092 * More deprecations and renamings
1093 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1094 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1095 when an object is constructed)
1098 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1099 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1100 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1103 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1104 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1105 feature, and it works again.
1108 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1110 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1112 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1113 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1114 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1117 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1118 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1119 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1120 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1123 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1124 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1125 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1126 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1129 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1130 metaclass object. (hdp)
1132 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1136 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1137 point out this fact. (hdp)
1139 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1140 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1143 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1145 * Moose::Meta::Class
1146 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1147 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1148 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1149 called during instance construction were passed the
1150 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1151 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1153 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1154 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1158 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1159 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1162 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1163 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1164 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1165 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1166 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1168 - Moose::Meta::Class
1169 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1171 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1172 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1173 when an object is constructed)
1174 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1176 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1177 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1178 when an object is constructed)
1179 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1180 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1181 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1184 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1186 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1187 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1189 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1191 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1192 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1193 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1196 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1197 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1199 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1201 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1202 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1204 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1205 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1208 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1209 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1212 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1213 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1214 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1217 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1221 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1222 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1223 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1226 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1229 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1230 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1231 with recommended workarounds.
1233 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1234 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1237 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1238 (yes, spelled like that).
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1241 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1243 * Moose::Meta::Class
1244 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1245 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1247 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1250 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1251 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1252 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1253 instead. Reported by doy.
1255 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1257 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1258 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1262 message) is now deprecated.
1263 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1264 often got it wrong. For example:
1266 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1268 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1272 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1273 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1274 bite you in weird cases.
1276 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1277 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1278 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1279 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1282 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1286 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1289 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1290 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1293 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1294 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1297 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1300 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1301 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1302 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1303 - added tests for this (stevan)
1305 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1306 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1307 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1308 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1312 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1313 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1314 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1315 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1317 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1318 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1319 - added tests for this (rafl)
1321 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1322 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1323 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1324 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1328 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1329 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1332 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1333 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1334 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1336 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1338 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1339 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1341 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1342 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1343 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1344 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1345 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1348 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1349 error message did not specify the attribute name
1352 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1354 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1356 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1357 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1358 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1361 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1364 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1366 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1367 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1368 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1369 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1371 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1373 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1374 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1375 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1376 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1379 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1380 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1384 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1385 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1386 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1389 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1390 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1391 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1392 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1394 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1395 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1396 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1397 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1398 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1399 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1401 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1402 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1403 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1404 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1405 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1406 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1408 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1409 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1411 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1412 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1413 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1414 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1417 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1420 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1424 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1425 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1427 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1428 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1429 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1430 guts. (nothingmuch).
1432 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1434 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1437 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1438 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1439 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1441 * Moose::Meta::Class
1442 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1445 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1446 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1448 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1449 * Moose::Unsweetened
1450 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1453 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1454 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1455 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1456 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1457 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1458 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1461 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1462 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1463 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1464 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1465 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1466 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1467 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1468 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1469 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1473 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1474 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1477 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1478 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1479 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1481 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1482 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1483 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1484 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1485 same methods for a single role did not work
1486 right (worked just fine with multiple
1488 - added test for this (stevan)
1490 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1491 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1492 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1495 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1496 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1497 - added test for this (t0m)
1500 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1501 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1502 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1505 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1506 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1507 - added test for this (t0m)
1509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1510 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1511 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1512 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1513 - added test for this (perigrin)
1516 - create method for constructing a role
1517 dynamically (Sartak)
1518 - added test for this (Sartak)
1519 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1520 - added test for this (Sartak)
1523 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1525 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1526 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1527 methods is useful (Sartak)
1529 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1531 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1534 * Moose::Meta::Class
1535 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1536 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1537 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1538 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1539 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1540 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1543 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1544 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1546 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1547 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1548 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1549 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1550 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1552 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1554 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1555 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1556 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1559 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1560 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1561 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1562 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1563 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1564 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1568 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1569 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1570 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1571 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1572 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1573 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1574 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1575 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1576 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1577 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1580 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1584 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1585 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1586 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1587 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1589 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1591 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1592 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1593 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1596 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1599 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1600 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1601 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1605 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1607 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1609 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1610 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1612 * Moose::Meta::Class
1613 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1614 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1615 a required attribute
1617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1619 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1620 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1623 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1626 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1627 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1628 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1629 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1630 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1631 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1632 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1634 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1635 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1636 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1638 * Roles and role application
1639 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1640 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1641 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1642 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1643 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1645 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1646 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1650 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1651 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1652 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1653 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1656 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1657 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1658 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1659 changes in the Moose internals.
1661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1663 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1666 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1667 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1668 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1669 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1671 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1672 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1673 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1674 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1677 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1678 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1679 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1680 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1681 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1682 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1683 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1684 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1685 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1686 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1687 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1688 constraint implementations.
1690 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1694 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1695 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1696 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1697 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1698 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1699 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 - added tests for this (rafl)
1702 * Moose::Meta::Class
1703 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1704 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1705 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1706 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1707 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1708 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1709 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1713 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1714 - added tests for this (thepler)
1716 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1717 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1718 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1719 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1722 * Moose::Meta::Class
1723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1724 * Moose::Meta::Method
1727 * Moose::Error::Default
1728 * Moose::Error::Croak
1729 * Moose::Error::Confess
1730 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1731 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1732 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1733 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1734 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1735 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1737 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1739 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1740 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 * Moose::Unsweetened
1743 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1744 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1745 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1748 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1749 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1750 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1751 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1754 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1755 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1757 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1758 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1759 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1760 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1763 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1765 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1766 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1768 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1771 - Various bug fixes.
1773 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1774 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1776 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1778 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1779 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1781 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1782 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1783 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1786 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1787 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1789 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1791 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1794 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1795 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1796 dependency to 0.64_07.
1798 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1799 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1800 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1803 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1807 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1808 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1809 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1810 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1811 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1814 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1816 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1819 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1823 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1824 method when that method was provided by another role being
1825 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1828 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1830 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1831 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1834 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1835 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1836 - added test for this (t0m)
1838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1839 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1840 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1842 - added test for this (t0m)
1845 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1846 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1847 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1851 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1853 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1855 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1856 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1858 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1859 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1860 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1862 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1863 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1866 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1868 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1869 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1873 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1874 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1875 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1878 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1879 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1880 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1881 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1884 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1888 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1889 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1890 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1892 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1893 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1894 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1895 created so that the process can be more easily
1896 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1898 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1899 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1900 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1901 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1904 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1907 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1908 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1910 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1911 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1912 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1914 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1915 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1916 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1918 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1919 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1922 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1925 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1926 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1930 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1931 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1933 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1934 ... this is not my day today ...
1936 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1937 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1938 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1939 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1940 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1943 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1944 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1945 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1946 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1947 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1950 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1952 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1953 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1954 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1955 this is not ever something you want to do
1956 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1957 - added tests for this (stevan)
1960 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1962 - added test for this
1964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1965 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1966 - added tests for this (wreis)
1968 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1969 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1970 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1971 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1974 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1975 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1978 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1980 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1982 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1985 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1986 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1987 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1988 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1989 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1990 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1991 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1992 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1993 - added tests for this
1995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1996 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1997 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1998 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2000 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2003 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2004 - added tests for this (sartak)
2005 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2006 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2009 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2011 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2012 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2016 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2017 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2019 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2021 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2022 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2025 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2026 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2027 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2030 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2031 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2033 - added docs for this (TODO).
2034 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2035 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2036 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2037 - fix builder and default both being used
2042 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2044 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2045 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2106 XS based functionality is now optional
2107 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2108 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2109 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2183 ->body when looping through the
2184 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2186 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2187 eating the $@ values, and so not
2188 working correctly, it still kind of
2189 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2190 - added tests for this

2212 drink more coffee before
2213 doing release engineering
2215 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2330 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2332 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2670 when they encounter overriden or modified
2671 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2672 - added tests for this
2674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2675 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2676 the | always creates a union and so is

2682 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2685 * Parameterized Types
2686 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2687 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2688 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2689 They can also be nested:
2690 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2691 And work with the type unions as well:
2692 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2694 * Better Framework Extendability
2695 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2696 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2697 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2698 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2701 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2702 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2703 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2704 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2707 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2709 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2876 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2879 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2880 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2881 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2882 - added tests for this
2884 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2886 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2912 so this release is just to fix that.
2915 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2916 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2917 (thanks to konobi for this)

2929 functions to facilitate introspection.
2931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2935 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2937 - added tests and docs for this
2938 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2939 so that you can actually document your
2940 attributes and inspect them through the

2944 * Moose::Meta::Class
2945 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2946 it will first look in for the class in the
2947 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2948 then default to just loading $name.
2949 - added tests and docs for this
2951 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2952 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2953 - added test for this
2956 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2957 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2958 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2959 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2961 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2962 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2965 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2967 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2968 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2969 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2972 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2973 !! for this developer release to work !!
2975 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2976 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2977 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2978 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2979 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2980 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2981 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2982 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2983 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2984 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2985 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2987 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2988 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2989 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2990 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2993 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2995 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2996 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2997 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2999 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3001 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3002 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3005 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3006 called unless they actually need to be.
3007 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3008 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3009 DEMOLISH method present.
3011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3012 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3013 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3014 type constraint, which allows for a
3015 hand optimized version of the type
3016 constraint to be used when possible.
3017 - Any internally created type constraints
3018 now provide an optimized version as well.
3020 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3022 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3023 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3024 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3027 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3028 your class namespace of these exported
3031 * Moose::Meta::Class
3032 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3033 comes up during global destruction
3035 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3039 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3042 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3043 - changed how we do type checks so that
3044 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3047 - moved accessor generation methods to
3048 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3049 conform to the API changes from
3052 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3053 - changed how constraints are compiled
3054 so that we do less recursion and more
3055 iteration. This makes the type check
3057 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3061 - created this from methods formerly found in
3062 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3064 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3065 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3067 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3068 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3073 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3076 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3077 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3078 - added tests for this
3079 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3080 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3081 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3082 - removed tests for this
3084 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3086 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3087 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3088 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3091 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3092 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3093 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3095 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3096 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3097 comments for more info.
3100 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3101 asked questions and common problems
3103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3104 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3105 - added tests for this
3107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3108 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3109 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3110 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3112 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3113 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3116 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3117 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3118 is much appreciated :)
3119 - added tests for this
3121 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3122 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3123 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3127 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3129 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3131 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3132 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3136 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3137 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3138 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3140 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3142 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3145 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3146 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3147 keywords because we need to localize them.
3148 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3150 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3151 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3152 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3155 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3159 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3160 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3163 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3164 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3165 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3167 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3169 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3170 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3171 bottom of your class file.
3174 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3177 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3179 - improved error message when loading modules so
3180 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3181 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3182 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3185 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3186 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3187 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3190 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3192 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3193 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3194 turn them on for you.
3195 - added tests for this

3224 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3225 - This release works in combination with
3226 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3227 release because it uses the a new
3228 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3229 complete Role implementation. It has
3230 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3231 the the previous CPAN version. This
3232 release also lacks good updated docs,
3233 the official release will have updated docs.
3236 - refactored the keyword exports
3237 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3238 accepts more than one Role at a time

3257 - much work done on the role composition
3258 - many new tests for conflict detection
3259 and composition edge cases
3260 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3261 looking at the tests

3286 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3287 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3288 on a per-attribute basis
3289 - added tests for this
3290 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3291 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3292 experimental feature and probably not finished
