1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
4 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
6 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
8 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
9 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
10 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
13 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
14 class if you pass it options for
15 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
16 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
17 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
18 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
19 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
20 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
21 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
22 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
23 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
26 - Warn when calling make_immutable on a class with mutable ancestors.
29 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
30 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
31 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
32 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
33 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
36 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
37 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
38 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
39 existing delegation API. (hdp)
41 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
42 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
43 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
44 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
45 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
46 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
50 * Moose::Error::Confess
51 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
52 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
55 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
58 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
59 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
60 installing a broken sub. (doy)
63 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
64 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
66 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
67 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
68 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
69 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
70 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
72 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
73 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
76 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
78 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
79 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
82 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
83 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
85 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
86 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
87 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
88 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
91 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
92 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
93 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
94 using it for new code!
96 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
97 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
98 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
99 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
101 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
102 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
103 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
104 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
105 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
106 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
107 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
108 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
111 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
114 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
115 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
119 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
121 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
122 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
123 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
126 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
127 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
128 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
131 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
132 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
135 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
136 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
139 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
141 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
142 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
143 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
144 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
146 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
148 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
152 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
153 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
155 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
156 associated_methods. (hdp)
157 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
158 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
159 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
160 misspelled) arguments
162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
163 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
164 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
165 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
169 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
171 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
175 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
176 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
179 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
180 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
182 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
184 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
185 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
187 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
188 * Moose::Manual::Types
189 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
190 string parsing rathole (mst)
192 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
193 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
194 using plain objects instead
196 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
197 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
200 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
202 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
203 three times today (perigrin)
204 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
205 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
207 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
208 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
209 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
210 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
213 - A role's required methods are now represented by
214 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
215 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
216 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
217 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
218 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
221 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
222 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
223 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
224 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
227 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
229 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
232 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
234 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
237 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
238 during global destruction. This method has been made more
239 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
243 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
244 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
247 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
248 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
250 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
251 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
252 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
255 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
257 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
258 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
261 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
265 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
266 methods during global destruction (doy)
269 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
270 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
274 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
275 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
278 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
279 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
282 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
283 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
285 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
287 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
291 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
292 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
293 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
296 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
297 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
298 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
301 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
303 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
304 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
305 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
309 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
310 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
311 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
313 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
314 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
315 of the Moose core (Sartak)
318 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
321 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
322 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
323 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
327 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
328 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
331 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
333 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
336 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
337 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
340 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
341 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
344 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
345 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
348 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
351 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
354 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
358 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
360 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
361 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
364 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
365 * More deprecations and renamings
366 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
367 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
368 when an object is constructed)
371 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
372 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
373 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
376 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
377 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
378 feature, and it works again.
381 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
383 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
385 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
386 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
387 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
390 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
391 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
392 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
393 message. Test provided by perigrin.
395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
396 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
397 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
398 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
399 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
402 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
403 metaclass object. (hdp)
405 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
406 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
407 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
408 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
409 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
410 point out this fact. (hdp)
412 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
413 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
415 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
416 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
420 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
421 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
422 called during instance construction were passed the
423 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
424 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
426 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
427 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
430 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
431 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
432 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
435 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
436 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
437 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
438 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
439 them, but they are not for "public" use.
442 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
444 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
445 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
446 when an object is constructed)
447 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
449 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
450 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
451 when an object is constructed)
452 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
453 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
454 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
457 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
459 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
460 * No changes from 0.72_01.
462 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
464 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
465 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
466 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
469 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
470 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
472 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
474 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
475 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
477 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
478 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
481 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
482 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
485 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
486 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
487 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
490 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
494 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
495 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
496 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
499 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
502 * Moose::Manual::Delta
503 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
504 with recommended workarounds.
506 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
507 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
510 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
511 (yes, spelled like that).
513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
514 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
517 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
518 changes in latest Class::MOP.
520 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
523 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
524 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
525 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
526 instead. Reported by doy.
528 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
530 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
531 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
534 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
535 message) is now deprecated.
536 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
537 often got it wrong. For example:
539 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
541 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
545 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
546 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
547 bite you in weird cases.
549 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
550 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
551 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
554 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
555 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
559 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
562 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
563 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
566 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
567 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
570 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
573 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
575 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
576 - added tests for this (stevan)
578 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
579 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
580 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
581 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
585 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
586 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
587 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
588 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
590 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
591 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
592 - added tests for this (rafl)
594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
595 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
596 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
597 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
601 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
602 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
605 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
606 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
607 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
609 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
611 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
612 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
615 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
616 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
617 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
618 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
621 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
622 error message did not specify the attribute name
625 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
627 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
629 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
630 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
631 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
633 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
634 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
637 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
639 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
640 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
641 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
642 of fixes and formatting improvements.
644 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
646 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
647 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
648 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
649 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
652 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
653 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
656 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
657 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
658 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
659 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
662 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
663 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
664 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
665 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
667 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
668 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
669 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
670 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
671 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
672 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
674 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
675 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
676 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
677 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
678 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
679 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
681 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
682 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
684 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
685 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
686 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
687 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
690 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
693 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
697 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
698 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
700 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
701 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
702 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
705 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
707 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
710 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
711 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
712 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
715 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
718 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
719 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
721 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
723 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
726 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
727 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
728 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
729 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
730 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
731 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
733 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
734 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
735 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
736 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
737 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
738 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
739 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
740 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
741 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
742 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
744 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
746 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
747 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
750 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
751 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
752 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
754 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
755 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
756 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
757 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
758 same methods for a single role did not work
759 right (worked just fine with multiple
761 - added test for this (stevan)
763 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
764 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
765 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
768 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
769 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
770 - added test for this (t0m)
773 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
774 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
775 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
777 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
778 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
779 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
780 - added test for this (t0m)
782 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
783 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
784 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
785 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
786 - added test for this (perigrin)
789 - create method for constructing a role
791 - added test for this (Sartak)
792 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
793 - added test for this (Sartak)
796 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
798 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
799 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
800 methods is useful (Sartak)
802 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
804 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
808 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
809 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
810 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
811 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
812 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
813 - added tests for this (jdv79)
816 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
817 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
819 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
820 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
821 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
822 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
823 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
825 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
827 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
828 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
829 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
832 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
833 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
834 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
835 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
836 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
837 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
841 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
842 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
843 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
844 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
845 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
846 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
847 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
848 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
849 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
850 future. (jnapiorkowski)
852 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
853 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
856 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
857 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
858 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
859 type. (jnapiorkowski)
860 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
862 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
864 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
865 predicate, and link to more details sections in
866 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
869 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
871 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
872 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
873 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
874 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
877 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
878 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
880 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
882 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
883 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
886 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
887 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
890 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
892 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
893 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
895 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
896 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
899 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
900 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
901 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
902 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
903 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
904 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
905 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
907 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
908 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
909 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
911 * Roles and role application
912 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
913 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
914 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
915 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
916 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
918 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
919 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
922 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
923 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
924 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
925 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
926 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
929 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
930 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
931 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
932 changes in the Moose internals.
934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
935 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
936 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
939 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
940 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
941 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
942 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
945 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
946 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
947 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
950 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
951 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
952 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
953 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
954 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
955 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
956 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
957 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
958 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
959 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
960 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
961 constraint implementations.
963 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
967 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
968 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
969 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
970 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
971 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
972 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
973 - added tests for this (rafl)
976 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
977 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
978 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
979 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
980 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
981 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
982 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
983 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
986 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
987 - added tests for this (thepler)
989 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
990 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
991 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
992 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
997 * Moose::Meta::Method
1000 * Moose::Error::Default
1001 * Moose::Error::Croak
1002 * Moose::Error::Confess
1003 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1004 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1005 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1006 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1007 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1008 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1010 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1012 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1013 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 * Moose::Unsweetened
1016 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1017 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1018 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1021 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1022 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1023 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1024 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1027 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1028 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1030 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1031 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1032 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1033 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1036 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1038 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1039 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1041 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1044 - Various bug fixes.
1046 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1047 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1049 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1051 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1052 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1053 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1054 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1055 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1056 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1059 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1060 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1063 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1064 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1067 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1068 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1069 dependency to 0.64_07.
1071 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1072 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1073 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1075 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1076 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1079 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1080 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1081 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1082 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1083 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1084 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1086 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1087 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1089 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1091 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1092 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1096 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1097 method when that method was provided by another role being
1098 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1099 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1101 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1103 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1104 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1107 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1108 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1109 - added test for this (t0m)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1112 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1113 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1115 - added test for this (t0m)
1118 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1119 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1120 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1124 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1126 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1128 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1129 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1131 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1132 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1133 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1136 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1139 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1140 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1141 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1142 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1146 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1147 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1148 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1152 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1153 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1154 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1157 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1161 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1162 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1163 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1165 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1166 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1167 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1168 created so that the process can be more easily
1169 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1171 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1172 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1173 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1174 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1177 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1180 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1181 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1184 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1185 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1187 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1188 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1189 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1191 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1192 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1195 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1199 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1203 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1204 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1206 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1207 ... this is not my day today ...
1209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1210 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1211 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1212 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1213 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1216 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1217 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1218 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1219 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1220 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1223 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1225 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1226 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1227 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1228 this is not ever something you want to do
1229 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1230 - added tests for this (stevan)
1233 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1235 - added test for this
1237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1238 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1239 - added tests for this (wreis)
1241 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1242 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1243 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1244 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1247 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1248 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1251 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1253 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1255 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1258 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1259 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1260 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1261 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1262 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1263 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1264 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1265 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1266 - added tests for this
1268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1269 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1270 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1271 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1273 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1276 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1277 - added tests for this (sartak)
1278 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1279 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1282 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1284 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1285 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1289 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1290 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1292 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1294 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1295 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1298 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1299 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1300 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1303 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1304 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1306 - added docs for this (TODO).
1307 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1308 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1309 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1310 - fix builder and default both being used
1315 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1317 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1318 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1319 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1323 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1327 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1328 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1329 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1332 - move the ClassName type check code to
1333 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1336 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1338 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1339 (early morning release engineering)--
1341 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1342 which was causing the indexer to choke
1344 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1345 (late night release engineering)--
1347 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1348 changes in this release
1350 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1351 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1352 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1354 * Moose::Meta::Class
1355 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1356 since it is called so often by &meta
1358 * Moose::Meta::Class
1360 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1361 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1365 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1366 method for immutablization to check if the
1367 destructor object even needs to be created
1370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1371 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1372 - added more descriptive error message to help
1373 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1374 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1376 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1378 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1379 XS based functionality is now optional
1380 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1381 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1382 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1393 is currently not supported in roles,
1394 but, ... patches welcome

1401 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1402 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1456 ->body when looping through the
1457 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1459 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1460 eating the $@ values, and so not
1461 working correctly, it still kind of
1462 eats them, but so does vanilla perl

1485 drink more coffee before
1486 doing release engineering
1488 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1603 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1605 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1606 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1649 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1650 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1943 when they encounter overriden or modified
1944 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1945 - added tests for this
1947 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1948 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1949 the | always creates a union and so is
1950 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1951 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

1955 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1958 * Parameterized Types
1959 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1960 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1961 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1962 They can also be nested:
1963 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1964 And work with the type unions as well:
1965 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1967 * Better Framework Extendability
1968 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1969 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1970 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1971 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1974 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1975 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1976 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1977 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1980 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1982 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2111 to the 'handles' option.
2112 - added tests and docs for this
2113 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to

2115 (but not changing the handles option)
2116 - added tests and docs for this
2119 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2120 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2134 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2135 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2136 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2137 prototypes for functions
2138 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2139 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2149 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2152 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2153 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2154 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2155 - added tests for this
2157 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2159 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2181 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2183 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2185 so this release is just to fix that.
2188 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2189 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2190 (thanks to konobi for this)

2202 functions to facilitate introspection.
2204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2208 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2210 - added tests and docs for this
2211 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2212 so that you can actually document your
2213 attributes and inspect them through the
2215 - added tests and docs for this
2217 * Moose::Meta::Class
2218 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2219 it will first look in for the class in the
2220 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2221 then default to just loading $name.
2222 - added tests and docs for this
2224 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2225 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2226 - added test for this
2229 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2230 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2231 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2232 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2234 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2235 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2238 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2240 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2241 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2242 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2245 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2246 !! for this developer release to work !!
2248 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2249 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2250 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2251 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2252 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2253 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2254 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2255 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2256 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2257 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2258 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2260 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2261 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2262 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2263 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2266 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2268 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2269 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2270 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2272 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2274 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2275 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2278 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2279 called unless they actually need to be.
2280 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2281 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2282 DEMOLISH method present.
2284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2286 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2287 type constraint, which allows for a
2288 hand optimized version of the type
2289 constraint to be used when possible.
2290 - Any internally created type constraints
2291 now provide an optimized version as well.
2293 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2295 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2296 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2297 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2300 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2301 your class namespace of these exported
2304 * Moose::Meta::Class
2305 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2306 comes up during global destruction
2308 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2312 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2316 - changed how we do type checks so that
2317 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2320 - moved accessor generation methods to
2321 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2322 conform to the API changes from
2325 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2326 - changed how constraints are compiled
2327 so that we do less recursion and more
2328 iteration. This makes the type check
2330 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2333 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2334 - created this from methods formerly found in
2335 Moose::Meta::Attribute

2338 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2341 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2349 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2350 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2351 - added tests for this
2352 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2353 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2354 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2355 - removed tests for this
2357 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2359 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2360 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2361 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2364 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2365 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2366 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2368 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2369 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2370 comments for more info.
2373 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2374 asked questions and common problems
2376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2377 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2378 - added tests for this
2380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2381 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2382 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2383 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2385 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2386 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2389 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2390 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2391 is much appreciated :)
2392 - added tests for this
2394 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2395 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2396 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2400 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2402 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2404 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2405 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2409 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2410 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2411 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2413 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2415 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2418 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2419 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2420 keywords because we need to localize them.
2421 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2423 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2424 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2425 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2428 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2432 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2433 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2436 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2437 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2438 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2440 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2442 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2443 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2444 bottom of your class file.
2447 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2450 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2452 - improved error message when loading modules so
2453 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2454 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2455 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2458 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2459 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2460 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2462 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2463 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2465 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2466 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2467 turn them on for you.
2468 - added tests for this

2497 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2498 - This release works in combination with
2499 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2500 release because it uses the a new
2501 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2502 complete Role implementation. It has
2503 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2504 the the previous CPAN version. This
2505 release also lacks good updated docs,
2506 the official release will have updated docs.
2509 - refactored the keyword exports
2510 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2511 accepts more than one Role at a time

2517 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2518 accepts more than one Role at a time
2520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2522 string enumerations which can be used as
2524 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2527 - more careful checking of params to new()
2530 - much work done on the role composition
2531 - many new tests for conflict detection
2532 and composition edge cases
2533 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2534 looking at the tests
2536 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2537 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2538 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2557 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2558 thanks to chansen for this commit
2559 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2560 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2561 on a per-attribute basis
2562 - added tests for this
2563 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2564 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2565 experimental feature and probably not finished

2567 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2568 - added tests for this
2571 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
