1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
7 constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
8 when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
10 * has '+foo' now has a blacklist rather than a whitelist for options which
11 can be legally inherited (doy, Tuomas Jormola).
13 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method metohd. (Dave
16 * All features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
17 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
18 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
19 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
20 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
25 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
26 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
27 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
28 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
29 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
32 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
36 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
39 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
40 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
44 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined function
45 (not just method) (doy).
49 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
50 and aren't easily installable/testable.
52 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
56 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
57 to be overridden more easily (doy).
59 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
63 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
64 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
66 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
70 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
71 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
72 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
74 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
78 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
79 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
80 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
82 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
83 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
87 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
88 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
90 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
91 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
95 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
96 is applied to a class (t0m).
98 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
99 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
101 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
104 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
105 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
107 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
108 be much more robust. (doy)
110 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
112 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
115 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
119 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
120 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
122 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
126 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
127 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
129 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
132 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
133 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
134 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
136 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
137 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
138 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
141 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
143 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
147 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
148 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
152 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
154 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
159 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
163 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
164 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
168 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
170 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
174 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
175 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
179 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
180 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
184 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
185 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
187 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
191 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
192 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
193 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
196 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
200 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
201 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
202 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
203 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
205 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
209 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
210 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
211 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
215 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
218 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
223 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
224 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
228 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
229 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
231 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
232 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
233 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
234 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
236 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
240 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
244 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
245 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
247 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
248 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
249 - Moose::Util::does_role
250 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
251 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
252 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
254 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
258 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
259 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
260 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
263 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
267 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
268 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
271 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
275 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
276 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
279 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
283 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
285 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
286 class. (Dave Rolsky).
288 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
289 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
290 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
292 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
293 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
294 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
297 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
298 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
300 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
301 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
302 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
304 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
306 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
307 substr et al, again. (sorear)
309 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
311 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
314 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
315 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
317 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
318 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
320 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
321 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
322 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
323 dependencies installed.
325 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
326 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
329 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
331 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
335 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
338 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
339 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
342 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
343 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
345 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
346 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
349 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
350 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
351 others. (nothingmuch)
353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
354 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
355 remove_accessors. (doy)
357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
358 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
359 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
362 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
364 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
366 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
367 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
370 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
371 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
374 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
376 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
378 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
379 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
383 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
384 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
385 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
386 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
388 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
390 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
391 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
392 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
393 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
394 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
397 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
398 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
399 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
400 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
401 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
403 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
404 which were not receiving the value of
405 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
406 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
407 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
408 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
412 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
413 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
414 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
415 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
416 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
420 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
421 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
422 - added tests for this (Stevan)
425 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
426 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
427 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
430 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
432 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
434 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
435 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
436 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
439 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
440 class if you pass it options for
441 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
442 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
443 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
444 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
445 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
446 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
447 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
448 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
449 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
451 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
452 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
453 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
454 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
455 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
458 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
460 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
461 existing delegation API. (hdp)
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
464 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
465 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
466 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
467 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
468 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
471 * Moose::Error::Croak
472 * Moose::Error::Confess
473 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
474 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
477 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
480 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
481 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
482 installing a broken sub. (doy)
485 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
488 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
489 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
490 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
492 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
493 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
494 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
495 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
496 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
499 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
502 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
504 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
505 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
508 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
509 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
512 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
513 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
514 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
517 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
518 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
519 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
520 using it for new code!
522 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
523 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
524 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
525 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
527 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
528 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
529 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
530 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
531 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
532 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
533 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
534 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
537 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
540 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
541 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
545 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
547 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
548 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
549 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
553 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
554 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
557 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
558 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
561 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
562 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
565 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
567 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
568 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
569 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
570 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
572 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
574 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
578 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
579 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
581 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
582 associated_methods. (hdp)
583 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
584 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
585 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
586 misspelled) arguments
588 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
589 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
590 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
591 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
594 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
595 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
597 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
600 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
601 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
602 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
605 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
606 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
608 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
610 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
611 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
613 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
614 * Moose::Manual::Types
615 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
616 string parsing rathole (mst)
618 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
619 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
620 using plain objects instead
622 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
623 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
626 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
628 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
629 three times today (perigrin)
630 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
631 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
633 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
634 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
635 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
636 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
639 - A role's required methods are now represented by
640 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
641 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
642 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
643 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
644 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
647 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
648 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
649 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
650 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
653 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
655 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
658 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
660 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
663 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
664 during global destruction. This method has been made more
665 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
669 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
670 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
673 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
674 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
676 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
677 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
678 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
681 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
683 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
684 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
687 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
691 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
692 methods during global destruction (doy)
695 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
696 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
700 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
701 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
704 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
705 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
708 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
709 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
711 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
713 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
717 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
718 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
719 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
722 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
723 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
724 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
727 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
729 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
730 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
731 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
735 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
736 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
737 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
739 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
740 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
741 of the Moose core (Sartak)
744 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
747 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
748 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
749 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
753 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
754 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
757 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
759 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
762 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
763 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
766 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
767 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
770 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
771 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
774 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
777 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
780 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
784 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
786 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
787 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
790 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
791 * More deprecations and renamings
792 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
793 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
794 when an object is constructed)
797 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
798 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
799 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
801 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
802 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
803 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
804 feature, and it works again.
807 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
809 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
811 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
812 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
813 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
815 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
816 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
817 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
818 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
819 message. Test provided by perigrin.
821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
822 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
823 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
824 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
825 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
828 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
829 metaclass object. (hdp)
831 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
832 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
833 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
834 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
835 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
836 point out this fact. (hdp)
838 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
839 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
841 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
842 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
846 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
847 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
848 called during instance construction were passed the
849 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
850 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
852 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
853 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
856 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
857 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
858 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
861 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
862 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
863 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
864 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
865 them, but they are not for "public" use.
868 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
870 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
871 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
872 when an object is constructed)
873 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
875 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
876 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
877 when an object is constructed)
878 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
879 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
880 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
883 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
885 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
886 * No changes from 0.72_01.
888 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
890 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
891 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
892 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
894 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
895 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
896 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
898 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
900 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
901 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
903 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
904 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
907 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
908 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
911 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
912 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
913 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
916 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
920 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
921 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
922 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
925 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
928 * Moose::Manual::Delta
929 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
930 with recommended workarounds.
932 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
933 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
936 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
937 (yes, spelled like that).
939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
940 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
943 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
944 changes in latest Class::MOP.
946 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
948 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
949 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
950 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
951 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
952 instead. Reported by doy.
954 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
956 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
957 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
959 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
960 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
961 message) is now deprecated.
962 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
963 often got it wrong. For example:
965 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
967 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
971 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
972 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
973 bite you in weird cases.
975 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
976 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
977 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
980 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
981 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
985 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
988 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
989 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
992 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
993 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
995 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
996 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
999 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1001 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1002 - added tests for this (stevan)
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1005 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1006 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1007 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1011 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1012 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1013 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1014 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1016 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1017 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1018 - added tests for this (rafl)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1021 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1022 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1023 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1027 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1028 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1031 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1032 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1033 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1035 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1037 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1038 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1040 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1041 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1042 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1043 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1044 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1047 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1048 error message did not specify the attribute name
1051 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1053 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1055 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1056 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1057 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1060 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1063 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1065 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1066 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1067 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1068 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1070 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1072 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1073 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1074 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1075 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1078 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1079 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1082 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1083 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1084 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1085 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1087 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1088 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1089 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1090 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1091 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1094 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1095 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1096 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1097 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1098 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1100 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1101 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1102 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1103 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1104 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1105 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1108 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1110 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1111 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1112 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1113 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1115 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1116 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1119 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1123 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1124 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1127 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1128 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1129 guts. (nothingmuch).
1131 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1133 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1136 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1137 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1138 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1140 * Moose::Meta::Class
1141 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1144 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1145 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1148 * Moose::Unsweetened
1149 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1152 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1153 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1154 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1155 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1156 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1157 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1159 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1160 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1161 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1162 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1163 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1164 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1165 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1167 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1168 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1172 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1173 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1176 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1177 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1178 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1180 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1181 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1182 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1183 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1184 same methods for a single role did not work
1185 right (worked just fine with multiple
1187 - added test for this (stevan)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1190 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1191 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1194 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1195 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1196 - added test for this (t0m)
1199 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1200 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1201 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1204 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1205 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1206 - added test for this (t0m)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1209 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1210 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1211 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1212 - added test for this (perigrin)
1215 - create method for constructing a role
1216 dynamically (Sartak)
1217 - added test for this (Sartak)
1218 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1219 - added test for this (Sartak)
1222 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1224 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1225 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1226 methods is useful (Sartak)
1228 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1230 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1233 * Moose::Meta::Class
1234 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1235 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1236 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1237 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1238 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1239 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1242 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1243 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1246 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1247 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1248 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1249 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1251 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1253 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1254 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1255 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1258 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1259 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1260 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1261 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1262 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1263 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1267 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1268 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1269 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1270 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1271 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1272 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1273 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1274 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1275 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1276 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1279 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1283 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1284 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1285 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1286 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1288 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1290 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1291 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1292 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1294 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1295 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1298 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1299 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1300 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1304 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1306 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1308 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1309 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Class
1312 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1313 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1314 a required attribute
1316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1318 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1319 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1322 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1325 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1326 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1327 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1328 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1329 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1330 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1331 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1333 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1334 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1335 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1337 * Roles and role application
1338 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1339 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1340 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1341 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1342 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1344 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1345 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1349 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1350 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1351 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1352 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1355 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1356 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1357 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1358 changes in the Moose internals.
1360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1362 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1366 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1367 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1368 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1370 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1371 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1372 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1373 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1375 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1376 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1377 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1378 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1379 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1380 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1381 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1382 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1383 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1384 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1385 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1386 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1387 constraint implementations.
1389 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1393 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1394 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1395 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1396 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1397 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1398 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1399 - added tests for this (rafl)
1401 * Moose::Meta::Class
1402 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1403 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1404 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1405 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1406 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1407 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1408 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1409 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1412 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1413 - added tests for this (thepler)
1415 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1416 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1417 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1418 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1421 * Moose::Meta::Class
1422 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1423 * Moose::Meta::Method
1426 * Moose::Error::Default
1427 * Moose::Error::Croak
1428 * Moose::Error::Confess
1429 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1430 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1431 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1432 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1433 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1434 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1436 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1438 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1439 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 * Moose::Unsweetened
1442 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1443 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1444 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1447 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1448 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1449 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1450 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1453 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1454 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1456 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1457 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1458 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1459 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1502 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1506 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1507 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1508 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1509 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1510 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1513 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1515 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1517 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1518 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1522 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1523 method when that method was provided by another role being
1524 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1525 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1527 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1535 - added test for this (t0m)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1538 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1539 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1541 - added test for this (t0m)
1544 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1545 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1546 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1549 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1550 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1552 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1554 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1555 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1558 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1559 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1561 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1562 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1565 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1568 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1572 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1573 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1574 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1578 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1579 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1580 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1583 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1587 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1589 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1591 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1593 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1594 created so that the process can be more easily

1624 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1625 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1629 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1630 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1632 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1633 ... this is not my day today ...
1635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1636 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1637 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1638 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1639 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1642 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1643 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1644 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1645 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1646 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1649 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1651 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1652 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1653 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1654 this is not ever something you want to do
1655 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1656 - added tests for this (stevan)
1659 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1661 - added test for this

1670 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1672 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1673 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1674 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1677 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1679 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1681 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1684 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1685 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1686 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1687 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1688 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1689 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1690 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1691 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 - added tests for this
1694 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1695 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1696 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1697 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1764 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1765 (early morning release engineering)--
1767 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1768 which was causing the indexer to choke
1770 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1771 (late night release engineering)--
1773 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1774 changes in this release

1784 * Moose::Meta::Class
1786 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1787 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1791 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1792 method for immutablization to check if the
1793 destructor object even needs to be created
1796 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1797 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1798 - added more descriptive error message to help
1799 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1800 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1802 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1804 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1805 XS based functionality is now optional
1806 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1807 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1808 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1810 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1811 to take care of this, mostly we added
1812 support for the package_name and name
1813 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1814 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1815 support regexp matching of names
1816 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1817 - tests added for this
1818 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1819 is currently not supported in roles,
1820 but, ... patches welcome
1821 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1822 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1823 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1826 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1827 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1828 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1829 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1830 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1831 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1832 - added test for this
1834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1835 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1836 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1839 * Moose::Meta::Class
1840 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1844 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1846 - added tests for this
1847 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1848 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1851 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1852 themselves parameterizable types
1854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1856 called by the inlined immutable
1858 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1860 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1861 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1862 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1863 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1866 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1878 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1881 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1882 ->body when looping through the
1883 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1885 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1886 eating the $@ values, and so not
1887 working correctly, it still kind of
1888 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1889 - added tests for this
1891 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1892 - added new recipe for immutable
1893 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1895 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1911 drink more coffee before
1912 doing release engineering
1914 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1948 - added test for this
1950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2029 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2031 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2071 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2074 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2075 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2076 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2077 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2079 - added more delegation tests
2080 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2081 support traits and their introspection.
2082 - added tests for this

2322 - added tests for this
2325 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2326 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2369 when they encounter overriden or modified
2370 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2371 - added tests for this
2373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2375 the | always creates a union and so is
2376 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

2379 - added more tests for this
2381 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2384 * Parameterized Types
2385 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2386 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2387 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2388 They can also be nested:
2389 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2390 And work with the type unions as well:
2391 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2393 * Better Framework Extendability
2394 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2395 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2396 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2397 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2400 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2401 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2402 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2403 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2406 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~

2637 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2638 so that you can actually document your
2639 attributes and inspect them through the

2643 * Moose::Meta::Class
2644 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2645 it will first look in for the class in the
2646 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2647 then default to just loading $name.
2648 - added tests and docs for this
2650 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2651 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2652 - added test for this
2655 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2657 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2658 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2660 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2661 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2664 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2666 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2667 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2668 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2671 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2672 !! for this developer release to work !!
2674 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2675 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2676 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2677 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2678 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2679 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2680 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2681 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2682 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2683 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2684 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2686 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2687 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2688 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2689 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2692 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2694 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2695 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2696 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2698 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2700 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2701 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2704 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2705 called unless they actually need to be.
2706 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2707 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2708 DEMOLISH method present.
2710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2711 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2712 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2713 type constraint, which allows for a
2714 hand optimized version of the type
2715 constraint to be used when possible.
2716 - Any internally created type constraints
2717 now provide an optimized version as well.
2719 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2721 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2722 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2723 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2726 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2727 your class namespace of these exported
2730 * Moose::Meta::Class
2731 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2732 comes up during global destruction
2734 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2738 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2741 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2742 - changed how we do type checks so that
2743 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2746 - moved accessor generation methods to
2747 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2748 conform to the API changes from
2751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2752 - changed how constraints are compiled
2753 so that we do less recursion and more
2754 iteration. This makes the type check
2756 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2760 - created this from methods formerly found in
2761 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2763 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2764 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2767 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2770 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2772 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2774 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2775 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2776 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2777 - added tests for this
2778 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2779 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2780 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2781 - removed tests for this
2783 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2785 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2786 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2787 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2790 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2791 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2792 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2794 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2795 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2796 comments for more info.
2799 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2800 asked questions and common problems
2802 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2803 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2804 - added tests for this
2806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2807 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2808 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2809 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2811 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2812 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2815 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2816 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2817 is much appreciated :)
2818 - added tests for this
2820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2821 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2822 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2826 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2828 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2830 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2831 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2835 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2836 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2837 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2839 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2841 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2844 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2845 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2846 keywords because we need to localize them.
2847 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2849 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2850 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2851 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2854 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2857 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2858 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2859 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2862 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2863 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2864 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2866 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2868 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2869 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2870 bottom of your class file.
2873 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2876 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2878 - improved error message when loading modules so
2879 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2880 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2881 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2884 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2885 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2886 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2888 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2889 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2891 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2892 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2893 turn them on for you.
2894 - added tests for this
2895 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2896 in Moose::Meta::Class
2899 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2900 automatically turned on for you.

2919 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2922 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2923 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2924 - This release works in combination with
2925 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2926 release because it uses the a new
2927 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2928 complete Role implementation. It has
2929 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2930 the the previous CPAN version. This
2931 release also lacks good updated docs,
2932 the official release will have updated docs.
2935 - refactored the keyword exports
2936 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2937 accepts more than one Role at a time
2938 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2939 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2942 - refactored the keyword exports
2943 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2944 accepts more than one Role at a time
2946 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2947 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2948 string enumerations which can be used as
2950 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2953 - more careful checking of params to new()
2956 - much work done on the role composition
2957 - many new tests for conflict detection
2958 and composition edge cases
2959 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2960 looking at the tests
2962 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2963 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2964 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2966 * Moose::Meta::Class
2967 - some small changes to support the new
2969 - some small additions to support Roles
2971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2972 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2974 - some small changes to support the new
2976 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2977 with the 'handles' option
2978 - added several tests for this
2979 - no docs for this yet
2981 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2983 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2984 thanks to chansen for this commit
2985 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2986 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2987 on a per-attribute basis
2988 - added tests for this
2989 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2990 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2991 experimental feature and probably not finished

2993 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2994 - added tests for this
