1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
10 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
14 * Include changes from 2.0010.
16 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
20 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
21 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
25 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
26 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
27 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
32 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
34 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
38 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
39 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
41 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
45 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
47 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
51 * Various packaging issues.
53 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
57 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
58 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
63 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
64 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
65 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
69 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
70 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
71 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
73 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
77 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
78 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
80 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
84 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
85 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
87 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
90 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
91 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
95 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
96 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
98 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
102 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
103 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
107 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
109 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
113 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
115 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
119 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
120 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
122 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
126 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
128 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
132 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
134 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
135 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
137 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
141 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
142 skips every other role. (rjbs)
144 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
145 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
146 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
147 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
148 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
150 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
154 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
155 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
156 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
159 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
164 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
166 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
167 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
169 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
173 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
174 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
175 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
179 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
180 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
182 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
183 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
185 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
186 environments. (doy, mateu)
188 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
192 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
193 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
194 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
195 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
199 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
200 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
202 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
206 * Update conflicts list.
209 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
213 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
214 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
215 details. (Dave Rolsky)
217 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
218 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
219 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
220 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
221 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
225 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
226 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
227 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
228 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
229 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
232 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
236 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
237 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
239 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
242 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
246 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
247 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
248 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
249 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
251 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
252 immutable classes). (mo)
254 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
255 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
256 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
258 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
262 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
264 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
266 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
270 * Fix some indexing issues.
272 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
274 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
278 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
279 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
280 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
281 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
282 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
284 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
285 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
290 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
291 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
292 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
293 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
295 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
296 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
297 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
301 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
302 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
305 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
309 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
310 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
314 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
318 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
319 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
320 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
321 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
324 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
328 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
331 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
335 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
336 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
337 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
340 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
344 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
345 policy. (Chris Prather)
347 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
348 on this new support policy. (doy)
352 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
353 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
354 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
356 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
357 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
359 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
363 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
364 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
365 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
366 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
369 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
373 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
374 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
377 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
381 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
382 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
384 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
385 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
389 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
390 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
391 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
392 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
393 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
394 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
396 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
397 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
399 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
400 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
401 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
402 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
404 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
405 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
407 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
412 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
413 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
415 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
419 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
420 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
421 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
423 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
427 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
428 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
429 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
431 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
432 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
435 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
436 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
439 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
440 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
441 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
443 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
444 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
449 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
450 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
451 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
452 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
454 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
455 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
457 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
458 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
460 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
461 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
462 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
463 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
465 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
466 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
467 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
470 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
471 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
472 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
473 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
475 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
476 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
479 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
480 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
481 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
483 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
487 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
488 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
489 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
491 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
492 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
493 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
496 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
497 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
498 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
500 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
501 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
502 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
504 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
505 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
509 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
510 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
511 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
513 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
514 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
515 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
516 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
518 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
522 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
523 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
524 value is a reference.
526 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
527 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
529 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
533 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
534 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
535 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
537 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
541 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
542 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
547 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
548 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
550 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
551 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
552 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
554 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
558 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
560 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
564 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
566 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
567 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
572 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
573 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
575 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
576 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
577 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
578 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
579 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
581 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
582 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
583 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
584 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
586 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
590 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
591 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
596 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
598 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
600 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
605 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
607 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
611 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
612 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
613 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
615 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
616 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
617 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
618 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
620 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
621 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
622 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
623 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
624 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
627 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
632 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
633 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
634 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
635 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
636 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
639 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
643 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
646 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
647 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
651 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
652 function (not just method). (doy)
656 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
657 and aren't easily installable/testable.
659 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
663 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
664 to be overridden more easily (doy).
666 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
670 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
671 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
673 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
677 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
678 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
679 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
681 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
685 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
686 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
687 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
689 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
690 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
694 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
695 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
697 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
698 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
702 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
703 is applied to a class (t0m).
705 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
706 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
708 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
711 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
712 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
714 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
715 be much more robust. (doy)
717 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
719 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
722 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
726 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
727 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
729 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
733 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
734 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
736 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
739 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
740 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
741 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
743 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
744 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
745 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
748 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
750 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
754 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
755 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
759 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
761 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
765 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
766 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
770 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
771 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
775 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
777 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
781 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
782 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
786 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
787 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
791 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
792 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
794 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
798 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
799 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
800 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
803 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
807 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
808 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
809 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
810 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
812 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
816 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
817 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
818 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
822 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
825 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
829 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
830 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
831 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
835 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
836 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
838 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
839 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
840 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
841 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
843 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
847 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
851 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
852 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
854 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
855 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
856 - Moose::Util::does_role
857 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
858 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
859 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
861 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
865 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
866 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
867 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
870 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
874 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
875 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
878 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
882 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
883 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
886 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
890 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
892 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
893 class. (Dave Rolsky).
895 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
896 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
897 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
899 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
900 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
901 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
904 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
905 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
907 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
908 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
909 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
911 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
913 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
914 substr et al, again. (sorear)
916 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
918 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
921 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
922 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
924 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
925 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
927 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
928 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
929 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
930 dependencies installed.
932 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
933 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
936 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
938 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
942 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
945 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
946 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
948 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
949 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
950 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
952 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
953 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
956 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
957 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
958 others. (nothingmuch)
960 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
961 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
962 remove_accessors. (doy)
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
965 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
966 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
969 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
971 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
973 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
974 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
977 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
978 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
981 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
983 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
985 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
986 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
990 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
991 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
992 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
993 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
995 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
997 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
998 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
999 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1000 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1001 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1005 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1006 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1007 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1008 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1010 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1011 which were not receiving the value of
1012 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1013 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1014 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1015 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1019 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1020 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1021 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1022 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1023 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1027 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1028 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1029 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1031 * Moose::Meta::Class
1032 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1033 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1034 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1037 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1039 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1042 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1043 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1046 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1047 class if you pass it options for
1048 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1049 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1050 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1051 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1052 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1053 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1054 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1055 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1056 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1059 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1060 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1061 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1062 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1065 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1067 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1068 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1070 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1071 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1072 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1073 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1074 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1075 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1078 * Moose::Error::Croak
1079 * Moose::Error::Confess
1080 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1081 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1084 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1087 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1088 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1089 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Class
1092 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1095 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1096 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1097 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1099 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1100 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1101 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1102 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1103 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1106 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1109 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1111 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1112 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1115 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1116 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1120 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1121 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1124 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1125 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1126 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1127 using it for new code!
1129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1130 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1131 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1132 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1134 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1135 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1136 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1137 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1138 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1139 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1140 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1141 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1144 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1147 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1148 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1152 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1155 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1156 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1158 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1159 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1160 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1161 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1163 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1164 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1165 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1167 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1168 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1169 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1172 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1173 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1174 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1175 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1176 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1177 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1179 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1181 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1185 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1186 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1188 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1189 associated_methods. (hdp)
1190 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1191 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1192 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1193 misspelled) arguments
1195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1196 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1197 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1198 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1202 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1204 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1208 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1209 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1212 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1213 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1215 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1216 * Moose::Meta::Class
1217 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1218 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1220 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1221 * Moose::Manual::Types
1222 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1223 string parsing rathole (mst)
1225 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1226 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1227 using plain objects instead
1229 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1230 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1231 that's what we need.
1233 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1234 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1235 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1236 three times today (perigrin)
1237 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1238 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1241 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1242 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1243 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1246 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1247 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1248 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1249 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1250 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1251 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1254 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1255 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1256 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1257 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1260 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1262 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1265 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1267 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1270 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1271 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1272 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1276 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1277 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1280 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1281 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1283 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1284 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1285 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1287 * Moose::Unsweetened
1288 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1291 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1294 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1298 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1299 methods during global destruction (doy)
1301 * Moose::Meta::Class
1302 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1303 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1304 consumption (Sartak)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Class
1307 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1308 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1311 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1312 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1315 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1316 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1318 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1320 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1324 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1325 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1326 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1330 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1331 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1334 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1336 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1337 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1338 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1342 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1343 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1344 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1347 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1348 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1351 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1354 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1355 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1356 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1360 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1361 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1363 * Moose::Meta::Class
1364 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1366 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1368 * Moose::Meta::Class
1369 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1370 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1373 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1374 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1377 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1378 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1381 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1384 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1386 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1387 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1390 * Moose::Meta::Class
1391 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1393 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1394 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1397 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1398 * More deprecations and renamings
1399 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1400 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1401 when an object is constructed)
1404 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1405 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1406 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1409 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1410 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1411 feature, and it works again.
1414 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1416 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1418 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1419 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1420 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1423 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1424 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1425 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1426 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1428 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1429 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1430 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1431 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1432 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1435 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1436 metaclass object. (hdp)
1438 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1439 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1440 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1441 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1442 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1443 point out this fact. (hdp)
1445 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1446 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1448 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1449 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1451 * Moose::Meta::Class
1452 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1453 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1454 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1455 called during instance construction were passed the
1456 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1457 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1459 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1460 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1463 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1464 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1465 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1468 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1469 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1470 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1471 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1472 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1474 - Moose::Meta::Class
1475 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1477 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1478 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1479 when an object is constructed)
1480 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1482 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1483 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1484 when an object is constructed)
1485 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1486 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1487 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1490 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1492 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1493 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1495 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1497 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1498 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1499 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1502 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1503 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1505 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1507 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1508 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1510 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1511 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1514 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1515 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1518 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1519 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1520 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1523 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1527 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1528 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1529 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1532 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1535 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1536 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1537 with recommended workarounds.
1539 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1540 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1543 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1544 (yes, spelled like that).
1546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1547 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1549 * Moose::Meta::Class
1550 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1551 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1553 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1556 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1557 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1558 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1559 instead. Reported by doy.
1561 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1563 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1564 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1566 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1567 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1568 message) is now deprecated.
1569 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1570 often got it wrong. For example:
1572 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1574 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1578 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1579 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1580 bite you in weird cases.
1582 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1584 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1585 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1588 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1592 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1595 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1596 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1599 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1600 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1603 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1606 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1608 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1609 - added tests for this (stevan)
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1612 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1613 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1614 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1618 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1619 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1620 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1621 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1623 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1624 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1625 - added tests for this (rafl)
1627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1628 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1629 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1630 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1634 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1635 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1639 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1640 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1642 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1644 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1645 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1647 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1648 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1649 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1650 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1651 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1654 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1655 error message did not specify the attribute name
1658 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1660 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1662 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1663 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1664 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1666 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1667 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1670 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1672 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1673 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1674 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1675 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1677 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1679 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1680 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1681 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1682 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1685 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1686 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1689 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1690 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1691 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1692 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1695 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1696 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1697 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1698 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1701 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1702 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1703 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1704 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1705 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1707 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1708 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1709 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1710 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1711 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1712 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1715 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1717 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1718 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1719 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1720 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1723 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1726 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1730 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1731 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1733 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1734 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1735 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1736 guts. (nothingmuch).
1738 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1740 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1743 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1744 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1745 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1747 * Moose::Meta::Class
1748 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1751 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1752 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1754 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1755 * Moose::Unsweetened
1756 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1759 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1760 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1761 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1762 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1763 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1764 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1767 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1768 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1769 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1770 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1771 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1772 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1774 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1775 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1779 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1780 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1783 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1784 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1785 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1788 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1789 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1790 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1791 same methods for a single role did not work
1792 right (worked just fine with multiple
1794 - added test for this (stevan)
1796 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1797 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1798 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1801 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1802 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1803 - added test for this (t0m)
1806 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1807 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1808 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1810 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1811 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1812 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1813 - added test for this (t0m)
1815 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1816 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1817 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1818 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1819 - added test for this (perigrin)
1822 - create method for constructing a role
1823 dynamically (Sartak)
1824 - added test for this (Sartak)
1825 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1826 - added test for this (Sartak)
1829 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1831 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1832 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1833 methods is useful (Sartak)
1835 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1837 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1840 * Moose::Meta::Class
1841 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1842 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1843 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1844 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1845 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1849 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1850 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1852 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1853 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1854 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1855 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1856 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1860 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1861 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1862 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1865 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1866 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1867 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1868 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1869 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1870 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1874 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1875 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1876 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1877 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1878 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1879 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1880 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1881 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1882 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1883 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1885 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1886 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1889 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1890 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1891 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1892 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1893 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1895 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1897 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1898 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1899 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1902 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1905 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1906 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1907 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1910 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1911 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1913 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1915 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1916 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1918 * Moose::Meta::Class
1919 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1920 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1921 a required attribute
1923 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1925 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1926 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1928 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1929 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1932 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1933 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1934 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1935 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1936 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1937 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1938 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1940 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1941 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1942 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1944 * Roles and role application
1945 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1946 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1947 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1948 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1949 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1951 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1952 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1955 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1956 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1957 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1958 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1959 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1962 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1963 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1964 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1965 changes in the Moose internals.
1967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1969 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1973 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1974 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1975 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1978 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1979 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1980 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1983 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1984 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1985 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1986 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1987 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1988 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1989 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1990 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1991 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1992 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1993 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1994 constraint implementations.
1996 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2000 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2001 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2002 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2003 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2004 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2005 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2006 - added tests for this (rafl)
2008 * Moose::Meta::Class
2009 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2010 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2011 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2012 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2013 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2014 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2015 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2016 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2019 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2020 - added tests for this (thepler)
2022 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2023 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2024 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2025 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2028 * Moose::Meta::Class
2029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2030 * Moose::Meta::Method
2033 * Moose::Error::Default
2034 * Moose::Error::Croak
2035 * Moose::Error::Confess
2036 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2037 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2038 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2039 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2040 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2041 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2043 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2045 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2046 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2048 * Moose::Unsweetened
2049 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2050 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2051 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2054 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2055 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2056 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2057 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2060 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2061 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2063 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2064 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2065 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2066 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2069 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2071 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2072 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2074 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the

2240 ... this is not my day today ...
2242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2243 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2244 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2245 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2246 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2249 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2250 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2251 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2256 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2258 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2259 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2291 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2292 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2293 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2294 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2295 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2296 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2297 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2298 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2299 - added tests for this
2301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2302 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2774 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2776 * Moose::Meta::Class
2777 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2778 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2779 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2780 method in the first place ;)
2782 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2783 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2784 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2786 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2787 - (see the POD for details)
2789 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2790 - this release contains a major reworking and
2791 cleanup of the role system
2792 - 100% backwards compat.
2793 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2794 classes based on type of applicants
2795 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2796 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2797 used in this process
2798 - new Composite role metaclass
2799 - runtime application of roles to instances
2800 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2801 classes when applicable
2803 * <<New Role composition features>>
2804 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2806 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2807 still retain the original as well)

2831 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2834 - added this module to support the refactor
2835 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2838 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2839 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2843 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2845 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2846 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2847 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2849 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2883 - added tests for this
2885 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2886 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2887 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2890 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2891 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2892 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2893 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2897 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2899 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2907 - added docs for this
2909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2910 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2911 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2912 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,

2929 - added tests for this
2932 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2933 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2936 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2937 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2938 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

2972 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2975 - fixed how required methods are handled
2976 when they encounter overriden or modified
2977 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2978 - added tests for this
2980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2981 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2982 the | always creates a union and so is
2983 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2984 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2986 - added more tests for this
2988 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2991 * Parameterized Types
2992 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2993 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2994 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2995 They can also be nested:
2996 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2997 And work with the type unions as well:
2998 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3000 * Better Framework Extendability
3001 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3002 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3003 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3004 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3007 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3008 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3009 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3010 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3013 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3015 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3016 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
3019 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3075 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3076 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3078 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3095 (thanks to shlomif).
3097 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3098 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3099 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

3148 (but not changing the handles option)
3149 - added tests and docs for this
3152 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3153 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3169 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3170 prototypes for functions
3171 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3172 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3182 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3185 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3186 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3187 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3188 - added tests for this
3190 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3192 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3214 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3216 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3217 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3218 so this release is just to fix that.
3221 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3222 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3223 (thanks to konobi for this)

3234 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3235 functions to facilitate introspection.
3237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3238 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3239 to build the list of delegated methods
3240 correctly (and not override important
3241 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3243 - added tests and docs for this
3244 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3245 so that you can actually document your
3246 attributes and inspect them through the
3248 - added tests and docs for this
3250 * Moose::Meta::Class
3251 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3252 it will first look in for the class in the
3253 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3254 then default to just loading $name.
3255 - added tests and docs for this
3257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3258 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3259 - added test for this
3262 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3263 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3264 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3265 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3267 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3268 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3271 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3273 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3274 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3275 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3278 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3279 !! for this developer release to work !!
3281 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3282 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3283 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3284 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3285 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3286 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3287 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3288 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3289 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3290 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3291 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3293 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3294 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3295 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3296 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3299 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3301 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3302 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3303 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3305 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3307 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3308 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3311 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3312 called unless they actually need to be.
3313 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3314 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3315 DEMOLISH method present.
3317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3318 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3319 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3320 type constraint, which allows for a
3321 hand optimized version of the type
3322 constraint to be used when possible.
3323 - Any internally created type constraints
3324 now provide an optimized version as well.
3326 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3328 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3329 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3330 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3332 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3333 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3334 your class namespace of these exported
3337 * Moose::Meta::Class
3338 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3339 comes up during global destruction
3341 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3345 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3349 - changed how we do type checks so that
3350 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3353 - moved accessor generation methods to
3354 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3355 conform to the API changes from
3358 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3359 - changed how constraints are compiled
3360 so that we do less recursion and more
3361 iteration. This makes the type check
3363 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3367 - created this from methods formerly found in
3368 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3370 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3371 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3373 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3374 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3377 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3379 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3382 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3383 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3384 - added tests for this
3385 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3386 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3387 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3388 - removed tests for this
3390 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3392 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3393 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3394 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3397 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3398 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3399 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3401 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3402 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3403 comments for more info.
3406 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3407 asked questions and common problems
3409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3410 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3411 - added tests for this
3413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3414 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3415 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3416 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3418 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3419 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3422 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3423 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3424 is much appreciated :)
3425 - added tests for this
3427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3428 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3429 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3433 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3435 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3437 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3438 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3442 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3443 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3444 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3446 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3448 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3451 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3452 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3453 keywords because we need to localize them.
3454 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3456 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3457 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3458 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3461 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3465 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3466 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3469 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3470 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3471 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3473 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3475 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3476 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3477 bottom of your class file.
3480 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3483 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3485 - improved error message when loading modules so
3486 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3487 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3488 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3491 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3492 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3493 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3496 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3498 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3499 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3500 turn them on for you.
3501 - added tests for this
3502 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3503 in Moose::Meta::Class
3506 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3507 automatically turned on for you.
3508 - added tests for this
3511 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3512 - added tests for this
3513 - added some more edge case tests

3530 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3531 - This release works in combination with
3532 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3533 release because it uses the a new
3534 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3535 complete Role implementation. It has
3536 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3537 the the previous CPAN version. This
3538 release also lacks good updated docs,
3539 the official release will have updated docs.
3542 - refactored the keyword exports
3543 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3544 accepts more than one Role at a time
3545 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3546 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3549 - refactored the keyword exports
3550 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3551 accepts more than one Role at a time
3553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3554 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3555 string enumerations which can be used as
3557 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3560 - more careful checking of params to new()
3563 - much work done on the role composition
3564 - many new tests for conflict detection
3565 and composition edge cases
3566 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3567 looking at the tests
3569 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3570 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3571 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3573 * Moose::Meta::Class
3574 - some small changes to support the new
3576 - some small additions to support Roles
3578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3579 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3581 - some small changes to support the new
3583 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3584 with the 'handles' option
3585 - added several tests for this
3586 - no docs for this yet

3590 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3591 thanks to chansen for this commit
3592 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3593 to support custom attribute meta-classes
