1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
10 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
12 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
16 * Include changes from 2.0010.
18 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
22 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
23 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
27 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
28 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
29 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
34 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
36 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
40 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
41 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
43 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
47 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
49 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
53 * Various packaging issues.
55 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
59 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
60 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
65 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
66 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
67 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
72 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
73 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
75 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
79 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
80 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
82 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
86 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
87 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
89 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
92 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
93 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
97 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
98 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
100 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
104 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
105 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
109 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
111 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
115 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
117 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
121 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
122 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
124 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
128 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
130 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
134 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
136 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
137 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
139 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
143 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
144 skips every other role. (rjbs)
146 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
147 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
148 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
149 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
150 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
152 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
156 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
157 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
158 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
161 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
166 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
168 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
169 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
171 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
175 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
176 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
177 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
181 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
182 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
184 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
185 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
187 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
188 environments. (doy, mateu)
190 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
194 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
195 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
196 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
197 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
201 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
202 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
204 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
208 * Update conflicts list.
211 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
215 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
216 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
217 details. (Dave Rolsky)
219 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
220 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
221 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
222 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
223 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
227 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
228 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
229 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
230 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
231 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
234 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
238 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
239 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
241 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
244 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
248 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
249 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
250 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
251 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
253 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
254 immutable classes). (mo)
256 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
257 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
258 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
260 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
264 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
266 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
268 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
272 * Fix some indexing issues.
274 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
276 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
280 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
281 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
282 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
283 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
284 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
286 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
287 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
292 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
293 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
294 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
295 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
297 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
298 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
299 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
303 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
304 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
307 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
311 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
312 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
316 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
320 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
321 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
322 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
323 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
326 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
330 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
333 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
337 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
338 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
339 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
342 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
346 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
347 policy. (Chris Prather)
349 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
350 on this new support policy. (doy)
354 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
355 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
356 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
358 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
359 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
361 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
365 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
366 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
367 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
368 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
371 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
375 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
376 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
379 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
383 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
384 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
386 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
387 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
391 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
392 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
393 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
394 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
395 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
396 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
398 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
399 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
401 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
402 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
403 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
404 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
406 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
407 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
409 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
414 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
415 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
417 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
421 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
422 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
423 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
425 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
429 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
430 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
431 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
433 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
434 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
437 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
438 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
441 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
442 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
443 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
445 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
446 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
451 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
452 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
453 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
454 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
456 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
457 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
459 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
460 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
462 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
463 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
464 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
465 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
467 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
468 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
469 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
472 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
473 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
474 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
475 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
477 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
478 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
481 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
482 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
483 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
485 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
489 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
490 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
491 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
493 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
494 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
495 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
498 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
499 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
500 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
502 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
503 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
504 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
506 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
507 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
511 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
512 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
513 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
515 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
516 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
517 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
518 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
520 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
524 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
525 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
526 value is a reference.
528 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
529 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
531 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
535 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
536 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
537 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
539 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
543 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
544 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
548 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
549 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
550 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
553 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
554 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
556 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
560 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
562 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
566 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
568 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
569 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
574 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
575 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
577 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
578 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
579 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
580 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
581 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
583 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
584 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
585 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
586 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
588 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
592 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
593 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
598 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
600 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
602 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
607 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
609 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
613 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
614 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
615 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
617 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
618 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
619 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
620 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
622 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
623 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
624 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
625 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
626 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
629 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
634 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
635 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
636 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
637 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
638 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
641 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
645 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
648 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
649 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
653 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
654 function (not just method). (doy)
658 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
659 and aren't easily installable/testable.
661 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
665 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
666 to be overridden more easily (doy).
668 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
672 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
673 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
675 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
679 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
680 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
681 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
683 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
687 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
688 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
689 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
691 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
692 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
696 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
697 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
699 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
700 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
704 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
705 is applied to a class (t0m).
707 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
708 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
710 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
713 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
714 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
716 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
717 be much more robust. (doy)
719 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
721 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
724 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
728 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
729 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
731 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
735 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
736 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
738 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
741 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
742 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
743 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
745 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
746 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
747 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
750 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
752 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
756 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
757 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
761 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
763 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
768 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
772 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
773 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
777 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
779 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
783 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
784 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
788 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
789 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
793 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
794 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
796 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
800 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
801 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
802 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
805 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
809 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
810 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
811 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
812 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
814 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
818 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
819 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
820 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
824 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
827 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
831 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
832 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
833 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
837 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
838 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
840 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
841 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
842 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
843 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
845 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
849 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
853 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
854 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
856 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
857 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
858 - Moose::Util::does_role
859 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
860 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
861 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
863 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
867 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
868 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
869 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
872 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
876 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
877 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
880 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
884 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
885 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
888 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
892 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
894 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
895 class. (Dave Rolsky).
897 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
898 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
899 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
901 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
902 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
903 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
906 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
907 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
909 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
910 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
911 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
913 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
915 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
916 substr et al, again. (sorear)
918 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
920 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
923 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
924 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
926 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
927 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
929 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
930 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
931 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
932 dependencies installed.
934 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
935 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
938 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
940 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
944 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
946 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
947 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
948 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
951 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
952 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
954 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
955 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
958 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
959 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
960 others. (nothingmuch)
962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
963 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
964 remove_accessors. (doy)
966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
967 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
968 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
971 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
973 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
975 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
976 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
979 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
980 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
983 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
985 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
987 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
988 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
992 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
993 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
994 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
995 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
997 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1000 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1001 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1002 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1003 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1006 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1007 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1008 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1009 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1010 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1012 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1013 which were not receiving the value of
1014 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1015 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1016 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1017 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1021 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1022 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1023 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1024 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1025 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1029 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1030 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1031 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1033 * Moose::Meta::Class
1034 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1035 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1036 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1039 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1041 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1044 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1045 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1048 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1049 class if you pass it options for
1050 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1051 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1052 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1053 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1054 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1055 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1056 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1057 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1058 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1060 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1061 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1062 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1063 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1064 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1067 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1069 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1070 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1073 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1074 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1075 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1076 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1077 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1080 * Moose::Error::Croak
1081 * Moose::Error::Confess
1082 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1083 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1086 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1089 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1090 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1091 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1093 * Moose::Meta::Class
1094 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1097 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1098 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1099 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1101 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1102 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1103 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1104 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1105 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1107 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1108 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1111 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1113 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1114 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1117 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1118 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1121 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1122 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1123 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1126 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1127 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1128 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1129 using it for new code!
1131 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1132 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1133 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1134 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1136 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1137 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1138 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1139 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1140 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1141 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1142 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1143 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1146 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1149 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1150 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1154 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1157 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1158 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1160 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1161 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1162 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1163 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1165 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1166 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1167 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1170 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1171 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1174 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1176 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1177 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1178 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1179 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1181 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1183 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1187 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1188 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1190 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1191 associated_methods. (hdp)
1192 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1193 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1194 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1195 misspelled) arguments
1197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1198 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1199 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1200 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1204 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1206 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1210 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1211 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1214 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1215 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1217 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1218 * Moose::Meta::Class
1219 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1220 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1222 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1223 * Moose::Manual::Types
1224 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1225 string parsing rathole (mst)
1227 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1228 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1229 using plain objects instead
1231 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1232 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1233 that's what we need.
1235 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1236 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1237 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1238 three times today (perigrin)
1239 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1240 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1243 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1244 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1245 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1248 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1249 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1250 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1251 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1252 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1253 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1256 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1257 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1258 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1259 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1262 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1264 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1267 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1269 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1272 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1273 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1274 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1278 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1279 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1282 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1283 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1285 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1286 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1287 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1289 * Moose::Unsweetened
1290 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1293 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1296 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1300 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1301 methods during global destruction (doy)
1303 * Moose::Meta::Class
1304 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1305 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1306 consumption (Sartak)
1308 * Moose::Meta::Class
1309 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1310 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1313 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1314 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1317 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1318 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1320 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1322 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1326 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1327 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1328 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1331 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1332 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1333 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1336 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1338 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1340 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1343 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1344 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1345 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1346 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1349 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1350 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1353 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1356 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1357 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1358 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1362 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1363 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1365 * Moose::Meta::Class
1366 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1368 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1370 * Moose::Meta::Class
1371 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1372 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1375 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1376 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1379 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1380 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1383 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1386 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1389 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1392 * Moose::Meta::Class
1393 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1396 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1399 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1400 * More deprecations and renamings
1401 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1402 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1403 when an object is constructed)
1406 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1407 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1408 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1411 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1412 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1413 feature, and it works again.
1416 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1418 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1420 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1421 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1422 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1425 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1426 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1427 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1428 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1431 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1432 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1433 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1434 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1437 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1438 metaclass object. (hdp)
1440 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1441 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1442 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1443 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1444 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1445 point out this fact. (hdp)
1447 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1448 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1450 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1451 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1453 * Moose::Meta::Class
1454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1455 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1456 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1457 called during instance construction were passed the
1458 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1459 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1461 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1462 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1465 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1466 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1467 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1470 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1471 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1472 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1473 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1474 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1476 - Moose::Meta::Class
1477 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1479 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1480 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1481 when an object is constructed)
1482 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1484 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1485 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1486 when an object is constructed)
1487 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1488 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1489 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1492 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1494 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1495 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1497 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1499 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1500 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1501 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1504 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1505 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1507 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1509 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1510 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1512 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1513 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1517 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1520 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1521 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1522 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1525 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1529 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1530 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1531 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1533 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1534 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1537 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1538 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1539 with recommended workarounds.
1541 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1542 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1545 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1546 (yes, spelled like that).
1548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1549 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1551 * Moose::Meta::Class
1552 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1553 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1555 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1558 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1559 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1560 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1561 instead. Reported by doy.
1563 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1565 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1566 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1569 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1570 message) is now deprecated.
1571 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1572 often got it wrong. For example:
1574 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1576 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1580 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1581 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1582 bite you in weird cases.
1584 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1585 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1586 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1587 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1590 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1594 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1597 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1598 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1601 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1602 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1605 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1608 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1609 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1610 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1611 - added tests for this (stevan)
1613 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1614 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1615 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1616 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1620 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1621 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1622 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1623 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1625 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1626 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1627 - added tests for this (rafl)
1629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1630 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1631 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1632 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1636 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1637 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1640 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1641 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1642 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1644 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1646 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1647 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1649 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1650 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1651 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1652 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1653 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1656 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1657 error message did not specify the attribute name
1660 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1662 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1664 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1665 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1666 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1669 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1672 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1674 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1675 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1676 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1677 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1679 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1681 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1682 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1683 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1684 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1686 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1687 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1688 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1691 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1692 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1693 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1694 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1697 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1698 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1699 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1700 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1703 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1704 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1705 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1706 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1707 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1709 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1710 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1711 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1712 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1713 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1714 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1717 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1719 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1720 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1721 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1722 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1725 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1728 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1732 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1733 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1735 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1736 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1737 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1738 guts. (nothingmuch).
1740 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1742 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1744 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1745 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1746 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1747 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1749 * Moose::Meta::Class
1750 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1753 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1754 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1757 * Moose::Unsweetened
1758 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1761 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1762 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1763 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1764 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1765 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1766 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1769 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1770 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1771 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1772 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1773 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1774 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1776 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1777 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1781 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1782 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1785 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1786 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1787 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1789 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1790 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1791 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1792 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1793 same methods for a single role did not work
1794 right (worked just fine with multiple
1796 - added test for this (stevan)
1798 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1799 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1800 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1803 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1804 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1805 - added test for this (t0m)
1808 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1809 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1810 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1813 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1814 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1815 - added test for this (t0m)
1817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1818 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1819 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1820 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1821 - added test for this (perigrin)
1824 - create method for constructing a role
1825 dynamically (Sartak)
1826 - added test for this (Sartak)
1827 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1828 - added test for this (Sartak)
1831 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1833 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1834 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1835 methods is useful (Sartak)
1837 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1839 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1842 * Moose::Meta::Class
1843 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1844 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1845 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1846 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1847 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1851 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1852 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1855 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1856 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1857 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1858 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1862 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1863 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1867 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1868 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1869 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1870 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1871 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1872 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1875 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1876 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1877 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1878 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1879 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1880 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1881 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1882 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1883 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1884 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1885 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1888 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1892 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1893 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1894 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1895 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1897 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1899 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1900 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1901 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1904 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1907 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1908 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1909 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1913 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1915 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1917 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1918 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1920 * Moose::Meta::Class
1921 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1922 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1923 a required attribute
1925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1926 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1927 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1928 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1931 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1934 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1935 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1936 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1937 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1938 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1939 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1940 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1943 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1944 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1946 * Roles and role application
1947 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1948 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1949 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1950 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1951 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1953 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1954 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1957 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1958 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1959 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1960 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1961 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1964 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1965 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1966 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1967 changes in the Moose internals.
1969 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1971 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1975 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1976 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1977 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1979 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1980 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1981 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1982 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1985 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1986 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1987 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1988 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1989 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1990 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1991 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1992 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1993 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1994 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1995 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1996 constraint implementations.
1998 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2002 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2003 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2004 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2005 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2006 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2007 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 - added tests for this (rafl)
2010 * Moose::Meta::Class
2011 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2012 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2013 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2014 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2015 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2016 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2017 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2018 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2021 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2022 - added tests for this (thepler)
2024 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2025 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2026 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2027 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2030 * Moose::Meta::Class
2031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2032 * Moose::Meta::Method
2035 * Moose::Error::Default
2036 * Moose::Error::Croak
2037 * Moose::Error::Confess
2038 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2039 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2040 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2041 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2042 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2043 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2045 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2047 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2048 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2050 * Moose::Unsweetened
2051 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2052 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2053 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2056 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2057 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2058 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2059 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2062 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2063 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2065 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2066 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2067 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2068 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2071 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2073 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2074 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

2242 ... this is not my day today ...
2244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2245 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that

2251 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2252 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2253 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2295 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2296 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2297 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of

2299 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2300 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2301 - added tests for this
2303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2776 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2778 * Moose::Meta::Class
2779 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2780 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2781 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2782 method in the first place ;)
2784 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2785 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2786 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2788 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2789 - (see the POD for details)
2791 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2792 - this release contains a major reworking and
2793 cleanup of the role system
2794 - 100% backwards compat.
2795 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2796 classes based on type of applicants
2797 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2798 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2799 used in this process
2800 - new Composite role metaclass
2801 - runtime application of roles to instances
2802 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2803 classes when applicable
2805 * <<New Role composition features>>
2806 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2808 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2809 still retain the original as well)

2835 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2836 - added this module to support the refactor
2837 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2839 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2840 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2841 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2845 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2847 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2848 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2849 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2851 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2888 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2889 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2892 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2893 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2894 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2895 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2899 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2901 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2909 - added docs for this
2911 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2912 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2913 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2914 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,

2930 with work correctly.
2931 - added tests for this
2934 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2935 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2938 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2939 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2940 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)

2974 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2977 - fixed how required methods are handled
2978 when they encounter overriden or modified
2979 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2980 - added tests for this
2982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2983 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2984 the | always creates a union and so is
2985 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2986 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2988 - added more tests for this
2990 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2993 * Parameterized Types
2994 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2995 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2996 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2997 They can also be nested:
2998 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2999 And work with the type unions as well:
3000 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3002 * Better Framework Extendability
3003 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3004 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3005 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3006 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3009 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3010 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3011 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3012 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3015 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3017 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3018 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3077 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3078 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3080 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3171 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3172 prototypes for functions
3173 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3174 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3184 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3187 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3188 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3189 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3190 - added tests for this
3192 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3194 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3216 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3218 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3219 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3220 so this release is just to fix that.
3223 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3224 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3225 (thanks to konobi for this)

3236 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3237 functions to facilitate introspection.
3239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3240 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3241 to build the list of delegated methods
3242 correctly (and not override important
3243 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3245 - added tests and docs for this
3246 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3247 so that you can actually document your
3248 attributes and inspect them through the
3250 - added tests and docs for this
3252 * Moose::Meta::Class
3253 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3254 it will first look in for the class in the
3255 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3256 then default to just loading $name.
3257 - added tests and docs for this
3259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3260 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3261 - added test for this
3264 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3265 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3266 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3267 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3269 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3270 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3273 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3275 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3276 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3277 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3280 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3281 !! for this developer release to work !!
3283 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3284 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3285 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3286 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3287 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3288 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3289 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3290 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3291 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3292 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3293 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3295 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3296 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3297 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3298 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3301 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3303 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3304 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3305 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3307 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3309 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3310 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3313 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3314 called unless they actually need to be.
3315 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3316 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3317 DEMOLISH method present.
3319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3321 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3322 type constraint, which allows for a
3323 hand optimized version of the type
3324 constraint to be used when possible.
3325 - Any internally created type constraints
3326 now provide an optimized version as well.
3328 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3330 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3331 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3332 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3334 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3335 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3336 your class namespace of these exported
3339 * Moose::Meta::Class
3340 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3341 comes up during global destruction
3343 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3347 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3351 - changed how we do type checks so that
3352 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3355 - moved accessor generation methods to
3356 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3357 conform to the API changes from
3360 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3361 - changed how constraints are compiled
3362 so that we do less recursion and more
3363 iteration. This makes the type check
3365 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3368 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3369 - created this from methods formerly found in
3370 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3372 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3373 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3376 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3379 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3381 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3384 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3385 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3386 - added tests for this
3387 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3388 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3389 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3390 - removed tests for this
3392 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3394 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3395 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3396 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3399 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3400 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3401 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3403 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3404 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3405 comments for more info.
3408 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3409 asked questions and common problems
3411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3412 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3413 - added tests for this
3415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3416 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3417 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3418 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3420 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3421 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3424 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3425 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3426 is much appreciated :)
3427 - added tests for this
3429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3430 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3431 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3434 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3435 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3437 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3439 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3440 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3444 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3445 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3446 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3448 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3450 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3453 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3454 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3455 keywords because we need to localize them.
3456 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3458 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3459 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3460 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3463 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3466 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3467 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3468 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3471 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3472 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3473 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3475 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3477 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3478 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3479 bottom of your class file.
3482 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3485 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3487 - improved error message when loading modules so
3488 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3489 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3490 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3493 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3494 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3495 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3498 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3500 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3501 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3502 turn them on for you.
3503 - added tests for this
3504 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3505 in Moose::Meta::Class
3508 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3509 automatically turned on for you.
3510 - added tests for this
3513 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3514 - added tests for this
3515 - added some more edge case tests

3531 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3532 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3533 - This release works in combination with
3534 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3535 release because it uses the a new
3536 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3537 complete Role implementation. It has
3538 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3539 the the previous CPAN version. This
3540 release also lacks good updated docs,
3541 the official release will have updated docs.
3544 - refactored the keyword exports
3545 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3546 accepts more than one Role at a time
3547 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3548 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3551 - refactored the keyword exports
3552 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3553 accepts more than one Role at a time
3555 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3556 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3557 string enumerations which can be used as
3559 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3562 - more careful checking of params to new()
3565 - much work done on the role composition
3566 - many new tests for conflict detection
3567 and composition edge cases
3568 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3569 looking at the tests
3571 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3572 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3573 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3575 * Moose::Meta::Class
3576 - some small changes to support the new
3578 - some small additions to support Roles
3580 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3581 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3583 - some small changes to support the new
3585 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3586 with the 'handles' option
3587 - added several tests for this
3588 - no docs for this yet

3592 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3593 thanks to chansen for this commit
3594 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3595 to support custom attribute meta-classes
