1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application classes.
7 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
8 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application classes. (rafl)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
12 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
13 non-lvalue-based meta instances.
14 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
15 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect the new
16 layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All work now should
17 be done in topic branches and reviewed by a core committer before
18 being applied to master. All releases are done by a cabal member and
19 merged from master to stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame
23 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
24 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
25 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
28 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
29 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
31 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
32 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
33 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
36 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
37 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
38 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
39 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
40 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
41 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
43 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
45 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
48 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
49 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
50 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
52 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
53 associated_methods. (hdp)
54 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
55 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
56 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
59 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
60 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
61 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
62 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
64 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
65 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
66 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
68 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
71 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
72 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
73 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
76 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
77 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
79 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
81 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
82 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
84 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
85 * Moose::Manual::Types
86 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
87 string parsing rathole (mst)
89 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
90 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
91 using plain objects instead
94 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
99 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
100 three times today (perigrin)
101 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
102 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
104 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
105 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
106 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
107 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
110 - A role's required methods are now represented by
111 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
112 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
113 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
114 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
115 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
118 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
119 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
120 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
121 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
124 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
126 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
129 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
131 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
134 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
135 during global destruction. This method has been made more
136 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
140 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
141 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
144 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
145 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
147 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
148 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
149 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
152 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
154 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
155 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
158 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
162 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
163 methods during global destruction (doy)
166 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
167 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
171 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
172 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
175 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
176 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
179 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
180 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
182 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
184 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
188 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
189 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
190 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
193 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
194 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
195 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
198 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
200 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
202 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
205 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
206 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
207 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
208 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
210 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
211 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
212 of the Moose core (Sartak)
215 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
218 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
219 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
220 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
224 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
225 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
228 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
230 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
233 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
234 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
237 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
238 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
241 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
242 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
245 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
248 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
251 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
255 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
258 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
261 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
262 * More deprecations and renamings
263 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
264 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
265 when an object is constructed)
268 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
269 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
270 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
273 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
274 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
275 feature, and it works again.
278 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
280 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
282 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
283 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
284 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
287 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
288 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
289 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
290 message. Test provided by perigrin.
292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
293 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
294 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
295 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
296 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
299 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
300 metaclass object. (hdp)
302 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
303 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
304 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
305 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
306 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
307 point out this fact. (hdp)
309 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
310 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
312 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
313 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
317 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
318 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
319 called during instance construction were passed the
320 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
321 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
323 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
324 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
327 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
328 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
329 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
332 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
333 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
334 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
335 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
336 them, but they are not for "public" use.
339 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
341 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
342 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
343 when an object is constructed)
344 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
346 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
347 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
348 when an object is constructed)
349 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
350 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
351 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
354 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
356 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
357 * No changes from 0.72_01.
359 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
361 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
362 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
363 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
366 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
367 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
369 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
371 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
372 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
374 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
375 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
378 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
379 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
382 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
383 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
384 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
387 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
391 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
392 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
393 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
396 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
399 * Moose::Manual::Delta
400 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
401 with recommended workarounds.
403 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
404 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
407 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
408 (yes, spelled like that).
410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
411 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
414 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
415 changes in latest Class::MOP.
417 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
420 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
421 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
422 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
423 instead. Reported by doy.
425 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
427 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
428 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
431 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
432 message) is now deprecated.
433 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
434 often got it wrong. For example:
436 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
438 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
442 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
443 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
444 bite you in weird cases.
446 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
447 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
448 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
451 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
452 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
456 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
459 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
460 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
463 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
464 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
467 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
470 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
472 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
473 - added tests for this (stevan)
475 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
476 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
477 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
478 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
482 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
483 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
484 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
485 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
487 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
488 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
489 - added tests for this (rafl)
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
492 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
493 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
494 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
498 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
499 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
502 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
503 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
504 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
506 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
508 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
509 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
512 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
513 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
514 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
515 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
518 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
519 error message did not specify the attribute name
522 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
524 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
526 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
527 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
528 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
531 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
534 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
536 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
537 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
538 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
539 of fixes and formatting improvements.
541 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
543 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
544 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
545 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
546 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
549 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
550 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
553 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
554 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
555 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
556 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
559 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
560 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
561 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
562 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
564 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
565 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
566 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
567 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
568 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
569 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
571 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
572 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
573 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
574 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
575 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
576 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
579 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
581 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
582 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
583 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
584 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
587 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
590 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
594 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
595 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
597 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
598 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
599 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
602 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
603 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
604 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
607 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
608 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
609 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
612 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
615 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
616 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
618 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
620 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
623 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
624 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
625 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
626 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
627 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
628 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
631 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
632 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
633 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
634 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
635 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
636 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
637 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
638 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
639 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
641 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
643 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
644 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
647 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
648 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
649 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
651 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
652 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
653 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
654 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
655 same methods for a single role did not work
656 right (worked just fine with multiple
658 - added test for this (stevan)
660 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
661 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
662 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
665 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
666 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
667 - added test for this (t0m)
670 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
671 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
672 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
674 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
675 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
676 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
677 - added test for this (t0m)
679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
680 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
681 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
682 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
683 - added test for this (perigrin)
686 - create method for constructing a role
688 - added test for this (Sartak)
689 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
690 - added test for this (Sartak)
693 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
695 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
696 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
697 methods is useful (Sartak)
699 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
701 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
705 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
706 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
707 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
708 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
709 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
710 - added tests for this (jdv79)
713 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
714 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
716 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
717 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
718 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
719 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
720 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
722 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
724 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
725 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
726 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
729 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
730 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
731 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
732 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
733 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
734 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
738 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
739 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
740 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
741 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
742 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
743 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
744 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
745 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
746 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
747 future. (jnapiorkowski)
749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
750 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
754 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
755 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
756 type. (jnapiorkowski)
757 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
759 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
761 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
762 predicate, and link to more details sections in
763 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
766 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
769 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
770 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
771 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
774 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
775 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
777 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
779 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
780 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
783 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
784 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
789 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
790 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
793 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
796 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
797 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
798 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
799 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
800 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
801 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
802 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
804 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
805 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
806 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
808 * Roles and role application
809 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
810 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
811 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
812 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
813 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
815 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
816 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
819 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
820 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
821 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
822 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
823 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
826 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
827 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
828 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
829 changes in the Moose internals.
831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
833 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
836 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
837 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
838 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
839 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
841 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
842 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
843 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
844 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
846 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
847 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
848 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
849 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
850 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
851 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
852 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
853 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
854 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
855 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
856 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
857 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
858 constraint implementations.
860 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
864 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
865 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
866 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
867 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
868 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
869 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
870 - added tests for this (rafl)
873 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
874 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
875 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
876 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
877 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
878 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
879 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
880 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
883 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
884 - added tests for this (thepler)
886 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
887 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
888 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
889 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
893 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
894 * Moose::Meta::Method
897 * Moose::Error::Default
898 * Moose::Error::Croak
899 * Moose::Error::Confess
900 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
901 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
902 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
903 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
904 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
905 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
907 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
909 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
910 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
913 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
914 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
915 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
918 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
919 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
920 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
921 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
924 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
925 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
927 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
928 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
929 several major changes in this release of Moose.
930 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
933 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
935 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
936 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
938 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
943 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
944 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
946 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
948 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
949 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
950 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
951 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
952 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
953 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
955 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
956 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
957 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
959 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
960 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
961 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
964 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
965 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
966 dependency to 0.64_07.
968 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
969 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
970 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
973 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
976 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
977 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
978 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
979 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
980 coincidental exception. (t0m).
981 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
984 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
986 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
988 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
989 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
993 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
994 method when that method was provided by another role being
995 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
996 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
998 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1000 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1001 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1004 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1005 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1006 - added test for this (t0m)
1008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1009 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1010 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1012 - added test for this (t0m)
1015 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1016 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1017 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1021 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1023 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1025 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1026 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1028 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1029 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1030 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1033 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1037 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1038 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1039 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1043 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1044 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1045 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1048 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1049 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1050 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1051 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1054 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1058 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1059 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1060 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1062 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1064 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1065 created so that the process can be more easily
1066 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1068 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1069 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1070 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1071 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1074 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1077 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1078 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1080 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1081 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1082 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1

1086 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1089 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1091 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1092 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1096 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1100 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1101 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1103 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1104 ... this is not my day today ...
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1107 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1108 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1109 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1110 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1113 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1114 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1115 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1116 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1117 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1120 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1122 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1123 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1124 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1125 this is not ever something you want to do
1126 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1127 - added tests for this (stevan)
1130 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1132 - added test for this
1134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1135 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1136 - added tests for this (wreis)
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*

1140 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1141 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1144 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1145 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1148 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1150 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1152 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1155 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1156 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1157 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1158 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1159 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1160 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1161 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1162 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1163 - added tests for this
1165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1166 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1167 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1168 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1170 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1173 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1174 - added tests for this (sartak)
1175 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1176 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1179 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1182 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1186 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1187 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1189 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1191 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1192 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1195 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1196 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1197 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1200 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1201 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1203 - added docs for this (TODO).
1204 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1205 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1206 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1207 - fix builder and default both being used
1212 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1214 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1215 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1216 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1220 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1224 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1225 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1226 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1229 - move the ClassName type check code to
1230 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1232 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1233 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1235 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1236 (early morning release engineering)--
1238 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1239 which was causing the indexer to choke
1241 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1242 (late night release engineering)--
1244 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1245 changes in this release
1247 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1248 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1249 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1251 * Moose::Meta::Class
1252 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1253 since it is called so often by &meta
1255 * Moose::Meta::Class
1257 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1258 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1262 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1263 method for immutablization to check if the
1264 destructor object even needs to be created
1267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1268 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1269 - added more descriptive error message to help
1270 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1271 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1273 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1275 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1276 XS based functionality is now optional
1277 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1278 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1279 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1281 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1282 to take care of this, mostly we added
1283 support for the package_name and name
1284 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1285 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1286 support regexp matching of names
1287 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1288 - tests added for this
1289 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1290 is currently not supported in roles,
1291 but, ... patches welcome
1292 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1293 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1294 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1297 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1298 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1299 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1300 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1301 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1302 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1303 - added test for this
1305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1306 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1307 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1310 * Moose::Meta::Class
1311 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1315 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1317 - added tests for this
1318 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1319 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1321 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1322 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1323 themselves parameterizable types
1325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1326 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1327 called by the inlined immutable
1329 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1331 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1332 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1333 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1334 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1336 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1337 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1341 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1342 causing occasional cpantester failures
1343 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1344 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1346 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1348 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1349 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1352 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1353 ->body when looping through the
1354 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1356 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1357 eating the $@ values, and so not
1358 working correctly, it still kind of
1359 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1360 - added tests for this
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1363 - added new recipe for immutable
1364 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1366 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1367 - added new recipe for builder and
1368 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1370 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1371 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1372 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1375 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1377 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1378 since Module::Install has done that.
1380 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1382 drink more coffee before
1383 doing release engineering
1385 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1386 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1387 modules. This fixes that.
1389 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1390 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1391 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1393 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1394 since we have tests which need the C3
1397 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1398 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1400 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1401 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1403 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1404 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1405 use it in any new code and please fix your old code

1793 - added tests for this
1796 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1797 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1840 when they encounter overriden or modified
1841 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1842 - added tests for this

1852 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1855 * Parameterized Types
1856 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1857 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1858 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1859 They can also be nested:
1860 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1861 And work with the type unions as well:
1862 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1864 * Better Framework Extendability
1865 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1866 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1867 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1868 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1871 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1872 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1873 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1874 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2081 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2082 so this release is just to fix that.
2085 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2086 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2087 (thanks to konobi for this)
2088 - added tests and docs
2090 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2091 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2094 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2095 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2096 - added tests for this
2097 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2098 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2099 functions to facilitate introspection.
2101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2102 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2103 to build the list of delegated methods
2104 correctly (and not override important
2105 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2107 - added tests and docs for this
2108 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2109 so that you can actually document your
2110 attributes and inspect them through the
2112 - added tests and docs for this
2114 * Moose::Meta::Class
2115 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2116 it will first look in for the class in the
2117 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2118 then default to just loading $name.
2119 - added tests and docs for this
2121 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2122 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2123 - added test for this
2126 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2127 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2128 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2129 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2131 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2132 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2135 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2137 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2138 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2139 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2142 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2143 !! for this developer release to work !!
2145 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2146 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2147 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2148 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2149 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2150 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2151 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2152 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2153 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2154 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2155 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2157 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2158 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2159 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2160 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2163 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2165 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2166 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2167 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2169 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2171 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2172 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2175 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2176 called unless they actually need to be.
2177 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2178 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2179 DEMOLISH method present.
2181 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2183 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2184 type constraint, which allows for a
2185 hand optimized version of the type
2186 constraint to be used when possible.
2187 - Any internally created type constraints
2188 now provide an optimized version as well.
2190 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2192 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2193 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2194 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2197 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2198 your class namespace of these exported
2201 * Moose::Meta::Class
2202 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2203 comes up during global destruction
2205 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2209 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2213 - changed how we do type checks so that
2214 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2217 - moved accessor generation methods to
2218 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2219 conform to the API changes from
2222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2223 - changed how constraints are compiled
2224 so that we do less recursion and more
2225 iteration. This makes the type check
2227 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2231 - created this from methods formerly found in
2232 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2234 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2235 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2238 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2241 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2243 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2246 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2247 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2248 - added tests for this
2249 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2250 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2251 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2252 - removed tests for this
2254 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2256 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2257 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2258 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2261 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2262 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2263 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2265 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2266 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2267 comments for more info.
2270 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2271 asked questions and common problems
2273 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2274 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2275 - added tests for this
2277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2278 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2279 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2280 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2282 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2283 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2286 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2287 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2288 is much appreciated :)
2289 - added tests for this
2291 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2292 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2293 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2297 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2299 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2301 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2302 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2306 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2307 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2308 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2310 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2312 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2315 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2316 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2317 keywords because we need to localize them.
2318 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2320 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2321 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2322 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2325 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2329 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2330 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2333 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2334 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2335 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2337 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2339 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2340 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2341 bottom of your class file.
2344 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2347 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2349 - improved error message when loading modules so
2350 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2351 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2352 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2355 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2356 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2357 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2359 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2360 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2362 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2363 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2364 turn them on for you.
2365 - added tests for this
2366 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2367 in Moose::Meta::Class

2394 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2395 - This release works in combination with
2396 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2397 release because it uses the a new
2398 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2399 complete Role implementation. It has
2400 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2401 the the previous CPAN version. This
2402 release also lacks good updated docs,
2403 the official release will have updated docs.
2406 - refactored the keyword exports
2407 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2408 accepts more than one Role at a time
2409 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2410 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2413 - refactored the keyword exports
2414 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2415 accepts more than one Role at a time
2417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2418 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2419 string enumerations which can be used as
2421 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2424 - more careful checking of params to new()
2427 - much work done on the role composition
2428 - many new tests for conflict detection
2429 and composition edge cases
2430 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2431 looking at the tests
2433 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2434 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2435 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2437 * Moose::Meta::Class
2438 - some small changes to support the new
2440 - some small additions to support Roles
2442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2443 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2445 - some small changes to support the new
2447 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2448 with the 'handles' option
2449 - added several tests for this
2450 - no docs for this yet
2452 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2454 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2455 thanks to chansen for this commit
2456 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2457 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2458 on a per-attribute basis
2459 - added tests for this
2460 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2461 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2462 experimental feature and probably not finished

2464 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2465 - added tests for this

2527 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2529 - added test for this
2532 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
