1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
6 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
7 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
10 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
11 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
13 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
14 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
16 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
18 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
19 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
22 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
23 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
24 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
25 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
26 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
28 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
29 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
30 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
31 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
32 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
33 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
34 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
37 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
38 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
39 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
40 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
41 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
43 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
44 which were not receiving the value of
45 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
46 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
47 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
48 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
52 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
53 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
54 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
56 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
57 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
58 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
59 - added tests for this (Stevan)
62 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
63 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
64 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
67 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
68 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
69 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
71 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
72 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
73 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
76 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
77 class if you pass it options for
78 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
79 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
80 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
81 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
82 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
83 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
84 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
85 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
86 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
88 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
89 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
90 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
91 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
92 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
95 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
96 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
97 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
98 existing delegation API. (hdp)
100 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
101 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
102 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
103 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
104 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
105 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
108 * Moose::Error::Croak
109 * Moose::Error::Confess
110 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
111 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
114 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
117 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
118 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
119 installing a broken sub. (doy)
122 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
125 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
126 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
127 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
129 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
130 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
131 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
132 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
133 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
136 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
139 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
141 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
142 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
145 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
146 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
150 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
151 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
154 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
155 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
156 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
157 using it for new code!
159 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
160 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
161 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
162 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
164 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
165 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
166 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
167 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
168 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
169 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
170 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
171 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
174 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
177 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
178 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
182 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
185 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
186 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
190 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
191 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
194 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
195 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
198 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
199 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
202 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
204 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
205 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
206 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
207 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
209 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
211 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
215 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
216 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
218 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
219 associated_methods. (hdp)
220 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
221 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
222 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
223 misspelled) arguments
225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
226 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
227 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
228 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
232 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
234 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
238 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
239 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
242 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
243 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
245 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
247 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
248 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
250 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
251 * Moose::Manual::Types
252 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
253 string parsing rathole (mst)
255 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
256 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
257 using plain objects instead
259 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
260 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
263 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
265 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
266 three times today (perigrin)
267 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
268 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
271 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
272 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
273 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
276 - A role's required methods are now represented by
277 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
278 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
279 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
280 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
281 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
284 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
285 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
286 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
287 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
290 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
292 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
295 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
297 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
300 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
301 during global destruction. This method has been made more
302 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
306 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
307 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
310 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
311 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
313 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
314 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
315 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
318 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
320 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
321 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
324 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
328 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
329 methods during global destruction (doy)
332 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
333 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
337 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
338 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
341 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
342 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
345 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
346 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
348 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
350 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
354 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
355 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
356 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
359 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
360 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
361 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
364 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
366 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
368 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
371 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
372 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
373 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
374 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
376 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
377 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
378 of the Moose core (Sartak)
381 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
384 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
385 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
386 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
390 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
391 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
394 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
396 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
399 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
400 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
403 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
404 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
407 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
408 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
411 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
414 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
417 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
421 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
424 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
427 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
428 * More deprecations and renamings
429 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
430 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
431 when an object is constructed)
434 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
435 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
436 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
439 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
440 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
441 feature, and it works again.
444 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
446 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
448 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
449 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
450 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
452 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
453 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
454 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
455 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
456 message. Test provided by perigrin.
458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
459 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
460 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
461 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
462 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
465 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
466 metaclass object. (hdp)
468 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
469 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
470 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
471 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
472 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
473 point out this fact. (hdp)
475 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
476 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
478 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
479 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
482 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
483 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
484 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
485 called during instance construction were passed the
486 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
487 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
489 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
490 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
493 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
494 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
495 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
498 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
499 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
500 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
501 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
502 them, but they are not for "public" use.
505 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
507 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
508 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
509 when an object is constructed)
510 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
512 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
513 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
514 when an object is constructed)
515 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
516 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
517 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
520 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
522 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
523 * No changes from 0.72_01.
525 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
527 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
528 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
529 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
531 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
532 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
533 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
535 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
537 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
538 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
540 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
541 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
544 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
545 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
548 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
549 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
550 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
553 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
557 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
558 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
559 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
561 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
562 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
565 * Moose::Manual::Delta
566 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
567 with recommended workarounds.
569 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
570 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
573 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
574 (yes, spelled like that).
576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
577 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
580 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
581 changes in latest Class::MOP.
583 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
586 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
587 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
588 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
589 instead. Reported by doy.
591 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
593 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
594 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
597 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
598 message) is now deprecated.
599 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
600 often got it wrong. For example:
602 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
604 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
608 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
609 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
610 bite you in weird cases.
612 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
613 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
614 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
617 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
618 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
622 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
625 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
626 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
629 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
630 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
633 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
636 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
637 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
638 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
639 - added tests for this (stevan)
641 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
642 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
643 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
644 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
648 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
649 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
650 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
651 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
653 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
654 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
655 - added tests for this (rafl)
657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
658 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
659 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
660 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
664 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
665 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
668 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
669 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
670 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
672 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
674 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
675 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
678 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
679 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
680 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
681 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
684 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
685 error message did not specify the attribute name
688 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
690 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
692 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
693 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
694 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
697 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
700 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
702 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
703 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
704 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
705 of fixes and formatting improvements.
707 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
709 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
710 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
711 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
712 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
715 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
716 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
719 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
720 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
721 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
722 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
725 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
726 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
727 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
728 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
731 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
732 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
733 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
734 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
735 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
737 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
738 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
739 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
740 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
741 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
742 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
745 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
747 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
748 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
749 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
750 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
753 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
756 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
760 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
761 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
763 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
764 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
765 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
768 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
769 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
770 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
773 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
774 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
775 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
778 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
781 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
782 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
784 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
786 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
789 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
790 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
791 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
792 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
793 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
794 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
796 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
797 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
798 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
799 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
800 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
801 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
802 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
803 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
804 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
805 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
807 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
809 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
810 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
813 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
814 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
815 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
817 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
818 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
819 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
820 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
821 same methods for a single role did not work
822 right (worked just fine with multiple
824 - added test for this (stevan)
826 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
827 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
828 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
831 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
832 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
833 - added test for this (t0m)
836 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
837 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
838 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
840 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
841 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
842 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
843 - added test for this (t0m)
845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
846 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
847 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
848 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
849 - added test for this (perigrin)
852 - create method for constructing a role
854 - added test for this (Sartak)
855 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
856 - added test for this (Sartak)
859 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
861 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
862 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
863 methods is useful (Sartak)
865 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
867 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
871 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
872 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
873 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
874 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
875 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
876 - added tests for this (jdv79)
879 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
880 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
882 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
883 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
884 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
885 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
886 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
888 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
890 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
891 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
892 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
895 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
896 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
897 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
898 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
899 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
900 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
904 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
905 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
906 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
907 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
908 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
909 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
910 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
911 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
912 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
913 future. (jnapiorkowski)
915 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
916 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
919 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
920 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
921 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
922 type. (jnapiorkowski)
923 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
925 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
927 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
928 predicate, and link to more details sections in
929 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
932 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
935 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
936 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
937 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
940 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
941 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
943 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
945 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
946 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
949 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
950 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
953 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
954 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
955 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
956 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
958 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
959 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
962 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
963 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
964 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
965 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
966 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
967 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
968 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
970 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
971 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
972 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
974 * Roles and role application
975 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
976 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
977 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
978 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
979 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
981 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
982 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
985 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
986 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
987 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
988 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
989 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
992 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
993 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
994 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
995 changes in the Moose internals.
997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
999 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1002 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1003 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1004 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1005 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1007 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1008 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1009 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1010 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1013 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1014 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1015 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1016 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1017 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1018 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1019 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1020 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1021 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1022 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1023 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1024 constraint implementations.
1026 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1030 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1031 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1032 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1033 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1034 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1035 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 - added tests for this (rafl)
1038 * Moose::Meta::Class
1039 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1040 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1041 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1042 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1043 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1044 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1045 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1049 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1050 - added tests for this (thepler)
1052 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1053 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1054 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1055 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1058 * Moose::Meta::Class
1059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1060 * Moose::Meta::Method
1063 * Moose::Error::Default
1064 * Moose::Error::Croak
1065 * Moose::Error::Confess
1066 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1067 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1068 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1069 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1070 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1071 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1073 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1075 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1076 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1078 * Moose::Unsweetened
1079 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1080 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1081 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1084 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1085 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1086 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1087 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1090 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1091 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1093 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1094 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1095 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1096 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1099 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1101 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1102 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1104 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1107 - Various bug fixes.
1109 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1110 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1112 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1114 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1115 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1116 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1117 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1118 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1119 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1121 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1122 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1123 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1125 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1126 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1127 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1130 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1131 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1132 dependency to 0.64_07.
1134 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1135 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1136 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1139 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1143 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1144 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1145 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1146 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1147 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1150 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1152 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1154 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1155 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1159 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1160 method when that method was provided by another role being
1161 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1164 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1166 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1167 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1170 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1171 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1172 - added test for this (t0m)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1175 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1176 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1178 - added test for this (t0m)
1181 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1182 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1183 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1186 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1187 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1189 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1191 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1192 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1194 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1195 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1196 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1199 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1203 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1204 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1205 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1209 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1210 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1211 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1215 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1216 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1217 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1220 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1224 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1225 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1226 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1228 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1230 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1231 created so that the process can be more easily
1232 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1235 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1236 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1237 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1240 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1243 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1244 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1247 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1248 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1250 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1251 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1252 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1255 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1257 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1258 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1261 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1262 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1266 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1267 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1269 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1270 ... this is not my day today ...
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1274 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1275 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1276 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1279 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1280 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1281 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1282 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1283 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1286 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1288 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1289 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1290 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1291 this is not ever something you want to do
1292 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1293 - added tests for this (stevan)
1296 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1298 - added test for this
1300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1301 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1302 - added tests for this (wreis)
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1305 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1306 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1307 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1309 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1310 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1311 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1314 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1316 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1318 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1321 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1322 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1323 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1324 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1325 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1326 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1327 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1328 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1329 - added tests for this
1331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1332 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1333 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1334 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1336 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1339 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1340 - added tests for this (sartak)
1341 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1342 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1345 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1347 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1348 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1351 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1352 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1353 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue

1519 ->body when looping through the
1520 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1522 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1523 eating the $@ values, and so not
1524 working correctly, it still kind of
1525 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1526 - added tests for this

1666 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1668 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2006 when they encounter overriden or modified
2007 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2008 - added tests for this
2010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2011 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2012 the | always creates a union and so is

2018 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2021 * Parameterized Types
2022 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2023 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2024 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2025 They can also be nested:
2026 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2027 And work with the type unions as well:
2028 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2030 * Better Framework Extendability
2031 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2032 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2033 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2034 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2037 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2038 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2039 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2040 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2128 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2129 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2194 the other side (perigrin)
2196 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2198 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2199 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2200 prototypes for functions
2201 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2202 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2212 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2215 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2216 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2217 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2218 - added tests for this
2220 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2222 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2244 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2246 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2247 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2248 so this release is just to fix that.
2251 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2252 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2253 (thanks to konobi for this)

2265 functions to facilitate introspection.
2267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2268 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2269 to build the list of delegated methods
2270 correctly (and not override important
2271 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2273 - added tests and docs for this
2274 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2275 so that you can actually document your
2276 attributes and inspect them through the
2278 - added tests and docs for this
2280 * Moose::Meta::Class
2281 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2282 it will first look in for the class in the
2283 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2284 then default to just loading $name.
2285 - added tests and docs for this
2287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2288 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2289 - added test for this
2292 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2293 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2294 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2295 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2297 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2298 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2301 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2303 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2304 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2305 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2308 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2309 !! for this developer release to work !!
2311 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2312 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2313 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2314 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2315 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2316 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2317 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2318 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2319 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2320 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2321 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2323 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2324 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2325 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2326 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2329 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2331 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2332 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2333 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2335 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2337 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2338 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2341 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2342 called unless they actually need to be.
2343 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2344 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2345 DEMOLISH method present.
2347 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2348 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2349 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2350 type constraint, which allows for a
2351 hand optimized version of the type
2352 constraint to be used when possible.
2353 - Any internally created type constraints
2354 now provide an optimized version as well.
2356 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2358 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2359 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2360 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2363 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2364 your class namespace of these exported
2367 * Moose::Meta::Class
2368 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2369 comes up during global destruction
2371 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2375 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2379 - changed how we do type checks so that
2380 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2383 - moved accessor generation methods to
2384 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2385 conform to the API changes from
2388 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2389 - changed how constraints are compiled
2390 so that we do less recursion and more
2391 iteration. This makes the type check
2393 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2397 - created this from methods formerly found in
2398 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2400 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2401 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2404 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2406 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2407 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2409 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2412 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2413 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2414 - added tests for this
2415 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2416 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2417 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2418 - removed tests for this
2420 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2422 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2423 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2424 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2427 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2428 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2429 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2431 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2432 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2433 comments for more info.
2436 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2437 asked questions and common problems
2439 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2440 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2441 - added tests for this
2443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2444 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2445 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2446 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2448 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2449 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2452 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2453 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2454 is much appreciated :)
2455 - added tests for this
2457 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2458 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2459 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2462 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2463 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2465 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2467 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2468 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2472 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2473 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2474 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2476 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2478 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2481 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2482 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2483 keywords because we need to localize them.
2484 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2486 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2487 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2488 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2491 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2494 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2495 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2496 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2499 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2500 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2501 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2503 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2505 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2506 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2507 bottom of your class file.
2510 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2513 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2515 - improved error message when loading modules so
2516 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2517 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2518 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2521 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2522 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2523 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2525 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2526 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2528 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2529 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2530 turn them on for you.
2531 - added tests for this
2532 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2533 in Moose::Meta::Class

2560 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2561 - This release works in combination with
2562 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2563 release because it uses the a new
2564 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2565 complete Role implementation. It has
2566 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2567 the the previous CPAN version. This
2568 release also lacks good updated docs,
2569 the official release will have updated docs.
2572 - refactored the keyword exports
2573 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2574 accepts more than one Role at a time

2585 string enumerations which can be used as
2587 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2590 - more careful checking of params to new()
2593 - much work done on the role composition
2594 - many new tests for conflict detection
2595 and composition edge cases
2596 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2597 looking at the tests

2622 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2623 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2624 on a per-attribute basis
2625 - added tests for this
2626 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2627 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2628 experimental feature and probably not finished

2630 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2631 - added tests for this
