1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
9 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
10 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
14 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
15 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
16 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
20 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
21 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
24 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
28 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
29 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
30 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
32 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
36 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
37 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
42 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
43 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
45 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
46 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
47 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
49 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
53 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
55 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
59 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
61 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
62 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
67 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
68 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
70 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
71 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
72 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
73 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
76 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
77 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
78 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
79 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
81 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
85 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
86 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
91 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
93 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
95 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
100 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
102 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
106 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
107 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
108 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
111 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
112 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
113 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
115 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
116 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
117 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
118 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
119 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
122 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
127 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
128 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
129 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
130 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
131 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
134 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
138 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
141 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
142 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
146 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
147 function (not just method). (doy)
151 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
152 and aren't easily installable/testable.
154 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
158 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
159 to be overridden more easily (doy).
161 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
165 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
166 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
168 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
172 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
173 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
174 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
176 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
180 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
181 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
182 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
184 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
185 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
189 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
190 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
192 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
193 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
197 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
198 is applied to a class (t0m).
200 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
201 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
203 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
206 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
207 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
209 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
210 be much more robust. (doy)
212 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
214 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
217 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
221 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
222 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
224 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
228 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
229 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
231 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
234 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
235 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
236 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
238 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
239 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
240 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
243 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
245 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
249 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
250 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
254 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
256 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
261 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
265 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
266 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
270 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
272 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
276 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
277 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
281 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
282 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
286 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
287 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
289 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
293 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
294 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
295 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
298 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
302 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
303 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
304 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
305 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
307 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
311 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
312 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
313 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
317 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
320 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
325 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
326 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
330 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
331 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
333 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
334 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
335 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
336 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
338 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
342 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
346 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
347 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
349 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
350 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
351 - Moose::Util::does_role
352 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
353 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
354 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
356 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
360 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
361 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
362 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
365 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
369 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
370 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
373 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
377 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
378 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
381 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
385 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
387 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
388 class. (Dave Rolsky).
390 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
391 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
392 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
394 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
395 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
396 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
399 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
400 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
402 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
403 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
404 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
406 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
408 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
409 substr et al, again. (sorear)
411 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
413 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
416 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
417 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
419 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
420 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
422 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
423 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
424 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
425 dependencies installed.
427 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
428 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
431 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
433 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
437 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
440 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
441 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
444 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
445 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
447 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
448 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
451 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
452 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
453 others. (nothingmuch)
455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
456 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
457 remove_accessors. (doy)
459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
460 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
461 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
464 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
466 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
468 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
469 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
472 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
473 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
476 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
478 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
480 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
481 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
485 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
486 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
487 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
488 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
490 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
493 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
494 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
495 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
496 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
499 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
500 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
501 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
502 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
503 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
505 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
506 which were not receiving the value of
507 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
508 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
509 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
510 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
514 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
515 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
516 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
517 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
518 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
522 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
523 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
524 - added tests for this (Stevan)
527 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
528 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
529 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
532 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
534 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
537 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
538 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
541 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
542 class if you pass it options for
543 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
544 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
545 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
546 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
547 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
548 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
549 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
550 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
551 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
553 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
554 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
555 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
556 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
557 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
560 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
562 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
563 existing delegation API. (hdp)
565 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
566 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
567 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
568 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
569 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
570 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
573 * Moose::Error::Croak
574 * Moose::Error::Confess
575 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
576 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
579 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
582 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
583 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
584 installing a broken sub. (doy)
587 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
590 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
591 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
592 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
594 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
595 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
596 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
597 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
598 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
601 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
604 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
606 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
607 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
610 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
611 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
613 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
615 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
616 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
619 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
620 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
621 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
622 using it for new code!
624 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
625 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
626 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
627 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
629 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
630 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
631 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
632 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
633 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
634 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
635 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
636 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
639 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
642 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
643 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
646 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
647 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
650 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
651 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
655 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
656 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
659 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
660 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
663 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
664 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
667 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
668 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
669 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
670 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
671 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
672 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
674 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
676 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
680 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
681 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
683 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
684 associated_methods. (hdp)
685 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
686 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
687 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
688 misspelled) arguments
690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
691 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
692 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
693 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
696 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
697 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
699 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
703 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
704 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
707 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
708 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
710 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
712 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
713 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
715 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
716 * Moose::Manual::Types
717 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
718 string parsing rathole (mst)
720 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
721 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
722 using plain objects instead
724 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
725 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
728 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
730 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
731 three times today (perigrin)
732 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
733 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
736 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
737 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
738 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
741 - A role's required methods are now represented by
742 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
743 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
744 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
745 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
746 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
749 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
750 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
751 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
752 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
755 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
757 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
760 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
762 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
765 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
766 during global destruction. This method has been made more
767 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
771 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
772 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
775 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
776 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
778 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
779 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
780 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
783 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
785 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
786 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
789 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
793 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
794 methods during global destruction (doy)
797 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
798 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
802 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
803 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
806 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
807 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
810 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
811 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
813 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
815 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
819 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
820 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
821 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
824 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
825 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
826 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
829 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
831 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
832 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
833 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
836 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
837 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
838 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
839 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
841 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
842 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
843 of the Moose core (Sartak)
846 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
849 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
850 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
851 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
855 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
856 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
859 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
861 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
864 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
865 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
868 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
869 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
872 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
873 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
876 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
879 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
882 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
886 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
888 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
889 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
892 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
893 * More deprecations and renamings
894 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
895 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
896 when an object is constructed)
899 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
900 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
901 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
904 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
905 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
906 feature, and it works again.
909 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
911 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
913 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
914 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
915 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
918 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
919 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
920 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
921 message. Test provided by perigrin.
923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
924 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
925 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
926 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
927 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
930 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
931 metaclass object. (hdp)
933 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
934 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
935 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
936 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
937 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
938 point out this fact. (hdp)
940 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
941 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
943 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
944 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
948 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
949 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
950 called during instance construction were passed the
951 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
952 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
954 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
955 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
958 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
959 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
960 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
963 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
964 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
965 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
966 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
967 them, but they are not for "public" use.
970 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
972 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
973 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
974 when an object is constructed)
975 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
977 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
978 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
979 when an object is constructed)
980 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
981 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
982 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
985 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
987 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
988 * No changes from 0.72_01.
990 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
992 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
993 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
994 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
997 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
998 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1000 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1002 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1003 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1006 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1010 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1013 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1014 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1015 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1018 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1022 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1023 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1024 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1027 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1030 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1031 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1032 with recommended workarounds.
1034 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1035 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1037 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1038 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1039 (yes, spelled like that).
1041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1042 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1044 * Moose::Meta::Class
1045 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1046 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1048 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1051 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1052 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1053 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1054 instead. Reported by doy.
1056 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1058 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1059 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1061 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1062 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1063 message) is now deprecated.
1064 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1065 often got it wrong. For example:
1067 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1069 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1073 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1074 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1075 bite you in weird cases.
1077 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1078 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1079 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1080 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1082 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1083 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1087 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1090 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1091 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1095 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1098 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1101 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1103 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1104 - added tests for this (stevan)
1106 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1107 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1108 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1109 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1113 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1114 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1115 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1116 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1118 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1119 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1120 - added tests for this (rafl)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1123 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1124 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1125 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1129 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1130 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1133 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1134 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1135 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1137 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1139 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1140 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1143 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1144 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1145 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1146 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1149 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1150 error message did not specify the attribute name
1153 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1155 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1157 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1158 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1159 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1162 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1165 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1167 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1168 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1169 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1170 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1172 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1174 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1175 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1176 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1177 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1180 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1181 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1184 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1185 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1186 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1187 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1191 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1192 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1193 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1196 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1197 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1198 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1199 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1200 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1202 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1203 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1204 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1205 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1206 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1207 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1210 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1212 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1213 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1214 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1215 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1217 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1218 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1221 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1225 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1226 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1229 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1230 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1231 guts. (nothingmuch).
1233 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1235 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1238 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1239 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1240 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Class
1243 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1246 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1247 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1249 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1250 * Moose::Unsweetened
1251 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1254 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1255 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1256 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1257 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1258 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1259 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1262 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1263 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1264 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1265 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1266 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1267 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1268 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1269 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1270 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1272 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1274 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1275 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1278 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1279 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1280 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1283 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1284 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1285 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1286 same methods for a single role did not work
1287 right (worked just fine with multiple
1289 - added test for this (stevan)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1292 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1293 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1296 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1297 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1298 - added test for this (t0m)
1301 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1302 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1303 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1306 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1307 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1308 - added test for this (t0m)
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1311 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1312 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1313 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1314 - added test for this (perigrin)
1317 - create method for constructing a role
1318 dynamically (Sartak)
1319 - added test for this (Sartak)
1320 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1321 - added test for this (Sartak)
1324 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1326 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1327 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1328 methods is useful (Sartak)
1330 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1332 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1337 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1338 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1339 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1340 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1341 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1344 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1345 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1347 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1348 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1349 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1350 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1351 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1353 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1355 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1356 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1357 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1360 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1361 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1362 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1363 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1364 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1365 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1369 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1370 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1371 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1372 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1373 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1374 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1375 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1376 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1377 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1378 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1380 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1381 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1384 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1385 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1386 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1387 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1388 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1390 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1392 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1393 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1394 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1396 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1397 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1399 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1400 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1401 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1402 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1405 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1406 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1408 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1410 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1411 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1413 * Moose::Meta::Class
1414 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1415 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1416 a required attribute
1418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1419 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1420 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1421 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1424 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1426 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1427 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1428 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1429 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1430 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1431 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1432 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1433 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1435 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1436 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1437 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1439 * Roles and role application
1440 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1441 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1442 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1443 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1444 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1446 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1447 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1451 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1452 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1453 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1454 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1457 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1458 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1459 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1460 changes in the Moose internals.
1462 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1464 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1467 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1468 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1469 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1470 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1472 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1473 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1474 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1475 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1478 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1479 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1480 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1481 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1482 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1483 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1484 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1485 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1486 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1487 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1488 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1489 constraint implementations.
1491 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1495 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1496 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1497 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1498 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1499 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1500 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1501 - added tests for this (rafl)
1503 * Moose::Meta::Class
1504 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1505 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1506 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1507 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1508 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1509 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1510 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1511 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1514 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1515 - added tests for this (thepler)
1517 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1518 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1519 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1520 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1523 * Moose::Meta::Class
1524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1525 * Moose::Meta::Method
1528 * Moose::Error::Default
1529 * Moose::Error::Croak
1530 * Moose::Error::Confess
1531 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1532 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1533 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1534 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1535 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1536 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1538 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1540 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1541 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1543 * Moose::Unsweetened
1544 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1545 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1546 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1549 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1550 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1551 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1552 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1555 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1556 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1558 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1559 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1560 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1561 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1564 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1566 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1567 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1569 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1572 - Various bug fixes.
1574 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1575 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1577 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1579 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1580 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1581 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1582 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1583 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1584 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1587 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1588 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1592 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1595 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1596 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1597 dependency to 0.64_07.
1599 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1600 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1601 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1604 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1608 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1609 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1610 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1611 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1612 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1614 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1615 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1617 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1619 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1620 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1624 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1625 method when that method was provided by another role being
1626 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1629 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1631 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1632 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1635 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1636 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1637 - added test for this (t0m)
1639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1640 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1641 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1643 - added test for this (t0m)
1646 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1647 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1648 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1651 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1652 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1654 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1656 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1657 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1659 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1660 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1661 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1663 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1664 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1669 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1670 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1674 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1675 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1676 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1680 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1681 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1682 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1685 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1689 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1690 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1691 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1693 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1694 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1695 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1696 created so that the process can be more easily
1697 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1701 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1702 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1705 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1708 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1709 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1711 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1712 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1713 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1715 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1716 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1717 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1719 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1720 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1722 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1723 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1727 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1731 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1732 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1734 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1735 ... this is not my day today ...
1737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1738 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1739 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1740 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1741 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1744 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1745 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1746 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1747 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1748 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1751 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1753 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1754 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1755 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1756 this is not ever something you want to do
1757 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1758 - added tests for this (stevan)
1761 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1763 - added test for this
1765 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1766 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1767 - added tests for this (wreis)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1770 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1771 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1772 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1775 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1776 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1779 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1781 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1783 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1786 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1787 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1788 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1789 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1790 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1791 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1792 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1793 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1794 - added tests for this
1796 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1797 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1798 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1799 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1801 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1804 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

1817 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1818 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1820 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1822 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1823 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1856 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1857 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1860 - move the ClassName type check code to
1861 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1863 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1864 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1866 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1867 (early morning release engineering)--
1869 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1870 which was causing the indexer to choke
1872 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1873 (late night release engineering)--
1875 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1876 changes in this release
1878 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1879 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1880 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1882 * Moose::Meta::Class
1883 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1884 since it is called so often by &meta
1886 * Moose::Meta::Class
1888 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1889 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1892 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1893 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1894 method for immutablization to check if the
1895 destructor object even needs to be created
1898 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1899 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1900 - added more descriptive error message to help
1901 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1902 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1904 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1906 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1907 XS based functionality is now optional
1908 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1909 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1910 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1912 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1913 to take care of this, mostly we added
1914 support for the package_name and name
1915 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1916 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1917 support regexp matching of names
1918 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1919 - tests added for this
1920 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1921 is currently not supported in roles,
1922 but, ... patches welcome
1923 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1924 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1925 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1928 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1929 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1930 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1931 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1932 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1933 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1934 - added test for this
1936 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1937 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1938 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1941 * Moose::Meta::Class
1942 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1946 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1948 - added tests for this
1949 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1950 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1953 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1954 themselves parameterizable types
1956 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1957 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1958 called by the inlined immutable
1960 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1962 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1963 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1964 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1965 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1967 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1968 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1972 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1973 causing occasional cpantester failures

1977 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1979 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1980 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1983 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1984 ->body when looping through the
1985 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1987 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1988 eating the $@ values, and so not
1989 working correctly, it still kind of
1990 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1991 - added tests for this
1993 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1994 - added new recipe for immutable
1995 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1997 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1998 - added new recipe for builder and
1999 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2001 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2002 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2003 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2006 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2008 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2009 since Module::Install has done that.
2011 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2013 drink more coffee before
2014 doing release engineering
2016 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2017 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2018 modules. This fixes that.
2020 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2021 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2022 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2024 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2025 since we have tests which need the C3
2028 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2029 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2031 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2032 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2034 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2035 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2036 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2037 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2043 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2044 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2046 * Moose::Meta::Class
2047 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2048 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2050 - added test for this
2052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2053 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2054 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2055 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2056 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2057 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2060 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2063 Moose::Meta::Method::Augmented

2068 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2069 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2070 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2071 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2072 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error

2131 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2133 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2470 - fixed how required methods are handled
2471 when they encounter overriden or modified
2472 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2473 - added tests for this
2475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2483 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2486 * Parameterized Types
2487 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2488 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2489 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2490 They can also be nested:
2491 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2492 And work with the type unions as well:
2493 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2495 * Better Framework Extendability
2496 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2497 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2498 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2499 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2502 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2503 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2504 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2505 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2746 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2747 it will first look in for the class in the
2748 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2749 then default to just loading $name.
2750 - added tests and docs for this
2752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2753 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2754 - added test for this
2757 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2758 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2759 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2760 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2762 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2763 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2766 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2768 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2769 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2770 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2773 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2774 !! for this developer release to work !!
2776 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2777 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2778 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2779 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2780 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2781 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2782 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2783 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2784 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2785 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2786 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2788 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2789 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2790 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2791 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2794 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2795 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2796 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2797 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2798 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2800 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2802 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2803 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2806 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2807 called unless they actually need to be.
2808 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2809 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2810 DEMOLISH method present.
2812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2814 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2815 type constraint, which allows for a
2816 hand optimized version of the type
2817 constraint to be used when possible.
2818 - Any internally created type constraints
2819 now provide an optimized version as well.
2821 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2823 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2824 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2825 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2828 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2829 your class namespace of these exported
2832 * Moose::Meta::Class
2833 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2834 comes up during global destruction
2836 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2840 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2844 - changed how we do type checks so that
2845 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2848 - moved accessor generation methods to
2849 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2850 conform to the API changes from
2853 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2854 - changed how constraints are compiled
2855 so that we do less recursion and more
2856 iteration. This makes the type check
2858 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2862 - created this from methods formerly found in
2863 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2865 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2866 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2868 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2869 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2871 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2872 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2874 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2876 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2877 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2878 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2879 - added tests for this
2880 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2881 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2882 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2883 - removed tests for this
2885 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2887 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2888 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2889 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2892 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2893 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2894 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2896 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2897 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2898 comments for more info.
2901 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2902 asked questions and common problems
2904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2905 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2906 - added tests for this
2908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2909 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2910 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2911 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2913 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2914 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2917 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2918 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2919 is much appreciated :)
2920 - added tests for this
2922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2923 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2924 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2927 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2928 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2930 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2932 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2933 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2937 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2938 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2939 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2941 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2943 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2946 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2947 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2948 keywords because we need to localize them.
2949 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2951 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2952 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2953 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2956 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2959 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2960 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2961 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2964 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2965 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2966 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2968 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2970 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2971 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2972 bottom of your class file.
2975 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2978 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2980 - improved error message when loading modules so
2981 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2982 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2983 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2986 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2987 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2988 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2990 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2991 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2993 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2994 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2995 turn them on for you.
2996 - added tests for this
2997 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2998 in Moose::Meta::Class

3025 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3026 - This release works in combination with
3027 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3028 release because it uses the a new
3029 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3030 complete Role implementation. It has
3031 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3032 the the previous CPAN version. This
3033 release also lacks good updated docs,
3034 the official release will have updated docs.
3037 - refactored the keyword exports
3038 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3039 accepts more than one Role at a time
3040 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3041 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3044 - refactored the keyword exports
3045 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3046 accepts more than one Role at a time
3048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3049 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3050 string enumerations which can be used as
3052 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3055 - more careful checking of params to new()
3058 - much work done on the role composition
3059 - many new tests for conflict detection
3060 and composition edge cases
3061 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3062 looking at the tests
3064 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3065 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3066 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3068 * Moose::Meta::Class

3071 - some small additions to support Roles
3073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3074 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3076 - some small changes to support the new
3078 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3079 with the 'handles' option
3080 - added several tests for this
3081 - no docs for this yet

3085 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3086 thanks to chansen for this commit
3087 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3088 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3089 on a per-attribute basis
3090 - added tests for this
3091 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3092 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3093 experimental feature and probably not finished

3158 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3160 - added test for this
