1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
7 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
8 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
10 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
11 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
12 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
13 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
14 message. Test provided by perigrin.
16 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
17 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
18 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
19 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
20 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
23 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
24 metaclass object. (hdp)
26 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
27 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
28 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
29 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
30 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
31 point out this fact. (hdp)
33 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
34 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
37 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
38 - Attribute triggers no longer do not receive the meta-attribute
39 object as an argument in any circumstance. Previously,
40 triggers called during instance construction were passed the
41 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
42 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
44 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
45 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
48 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
49 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
50 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
53 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
54 * No changes from 0.72_01.
56 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
58 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
59 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
60 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
62 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
63 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
64 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
66 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
68 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
69 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
71 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
72 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
75 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
76 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
79 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
80 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
81 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
83 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
84 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
88 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
89 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
90 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
92 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
93 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
96 * Moose::Manual::Delta
97 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
98 with recommended workarounds.
100 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
101 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
104 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
105 (yes, spelled like that).
107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
108 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
111 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
112 changes in latest Class::MOP.
114 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
117 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
118 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
119 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
120 instead. Reported by doy.
122 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
124 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
125 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
128 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
129 message) is now deprecated.
130 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
131 often got it wrong. For example:
133 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
135 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
139 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
140 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
141 bite you in weird cases.
143 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
144 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
145 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
148 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
149 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
153 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
156 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
157 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
160 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
161 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
164 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
167 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
169 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
170 - added tests for this (stevan)
172 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
173 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
174 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
175 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
179 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
180 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
181 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
182 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
184 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
185 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
186 - added tests for this (rafl)
188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
189 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
190 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
191 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
195 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
196 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
199 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
200 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
201 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
203 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
205 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
206 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
209 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
210 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
211 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
212 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
215 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
216 error message did not specify the attribute name
219 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
221 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
223 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
224 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
225 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
228 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
231 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
233 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
234 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
235 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
236 of fixes and formatting improvements.
238 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
240 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
241 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
242 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
243 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
246 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
247 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
250 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
251 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
252 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
253 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
256 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
257 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
258 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
259 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
261 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
262 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
263 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
264 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
265 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
266 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
268 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
269 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
270 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
271 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
272 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
273 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
276 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
278 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
279 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
280 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
281 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
283 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
284 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
287 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
291 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
292 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
294 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
295 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
296 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
299 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
301 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
303 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
304 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
305 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
306 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
309 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
312 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
313 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
315 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
317 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
320 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
321 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
322 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
323 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
324 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
325 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
328 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
329 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
330 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
331 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
332 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
333 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
334 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
335 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
336 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
338 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
340 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
341 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
344 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
345 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
346 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
348 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
349 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
350 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
351 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
352 same methods for a single role did not work
353 right (worked just fine with multiple
355 - added test for this (stevan)
357 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
358 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
359 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
362 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
363 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
364 - added test for this (t0m)
367 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
368 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
369 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
371 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
372 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
373 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
374 - added test for this (t0m)
376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
377 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
378 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
379 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
380 - added test for this (perigrin)
383 - create method for constructing a role
385 - added test for this (Sartak)
386 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
387 - added test for this (Sartak)
390 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
392 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
393 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
394 methods is useful (Sartak)
396 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
398 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
402 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
403 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
404 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
405 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
406 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
407 - added tests for this (jdv79)
410 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
411 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
413 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
414 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
415 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
416 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
417 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
419 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
421 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
422 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
423 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
426 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
427 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
428 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
429 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
430 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
431 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
435 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
436 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
437 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
438 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
439 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
440 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
441 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
442 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
443 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
444 future. (jnapiorkowski)
446 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
447 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
450 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
451 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
452 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
453 type. (jnapiorkowski)
454 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
456 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
458 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
459 predicate, and link to more details sections in
460 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
463 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
465 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
466 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
467 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
468 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
471 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
472 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
474 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
476 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
477 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
480 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
481 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
486 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
487 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
490 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
493 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
494 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
495 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
496 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
497 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
498 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
499 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
501 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
502 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
503 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
505 * Roles and role application
506 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
507 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
508 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
509 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
510 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
512 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
513 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
516 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
517 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
518 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
519 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
520 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
523 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
524 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
525 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
526 changes in the Moose internals.
528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
530 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
533 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
534 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
535 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
536 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
538 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
539 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
540 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
541 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
544 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
545 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
546 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
547 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
548 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
549 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
550 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
551 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
552 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
553 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
554 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
555 constraint implementations.
557 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
561 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
562 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
563 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
564 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
565 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
566 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
567 - added tests for this (rafl)
570 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
571 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
572 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
573 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
574 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
575 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
576 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
577 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
580 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
581 - added tests for this (thepler)
583 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
584 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
585 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
586 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
591 * Moose::Meta::Method
594 * Moose::Error::Default
595 * Moose::Error::Croak
596 * Moose::Error::Confess
597 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
598 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
599 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
600 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
601 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
602 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
604 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
606 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
607 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
610 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
611 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
612 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
615 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
616 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
617 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
618 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
621 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
622 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
624 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
625 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
626 several major changes in this release of Moose.
627 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
630 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
632 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
633 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
635 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
640 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
641 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
643 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
645 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
646 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
647 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
648 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
649 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
650 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
652 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
653 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
654 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
656 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
657 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
658 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
661 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
662 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
663 dependency to 0.64_07.
665 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
666 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
667 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
669 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
670 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
674 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
675 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
676 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
677 coincidental exception. (t0m).

801 ... this is not my day today ...
803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
804 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
805 clone_and_inherit options still works for
806 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
807 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
810 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
811 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
812 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

814 the changes that I didn't include in the last
817 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
819 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
820 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

852 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
853 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
854 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
855 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
856 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
857 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
858 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
859 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)

1396 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1398 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1399 - refactored how these types are handled so they
1400 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
1404 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1406 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1407 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1408 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
1410 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

1429 types without having to explictly define them
1430 - added tests for this
1432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1433 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
1434 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
1436 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
1437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1438 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
1439 they should inherit the parent's coercion

1442 a single type at different times instead of
1443 having to do it all in one place
1444 - added tests for this
1446 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1447 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1448 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1451 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1452 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1453 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1454 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1458 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1460 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

1468 - added docs for this
1470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1471 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1472 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1473 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1474 instead it will just return undef.
1475 - added docs for this

1490 - added tests for this
1493 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1494 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1497 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1498 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1499 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1501 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

1533 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1536 - fixed how required methods are handled
1537 when they encounter overriden or modified
1538 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1539 - added tests for this
1541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1542 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1543 the | always creates a union and so is
1544 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1545 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1547 - added more tests for this
1549 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1552 * Parameterized Types
1553 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1554 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1555 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1556 They can also be nested:
1557 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1558 And work with the type unions as well:
1559 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1561 * Better Framework Extendability
1562 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1563 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1564 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1565 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1568 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1569 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1570 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1571 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1574 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1576 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1577 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1580 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1608 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
1610 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
1611 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
1612 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
1613 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
1615 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
1616 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

1619 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
1620 +++ with new features added as well +++
1622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1626 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
1628 - added tests for this
1630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

1632 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
1633 can track where the type constraints are created
1635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1636 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1637 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1639 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1640 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1641 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1642 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1656 (thanks to shlomif).
1658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1659 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
1660 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
1661 - added tests for this

1664 - added tests for this
1666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

1709 (but not changing the handles option)
1710 - added tests and docs for this
1713 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1714 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1717 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
1718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1719 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

1728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1729 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1730 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1731 prototypes for functions
1732 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1733 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1743 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1746 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1747 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1748 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1749 - added tests for this
1751 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1753 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1774 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
1775 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
1777 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
1778 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
1779 so this release is just to fix that.
1782 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1783 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1784 (thanks to konobi for this)
1785 - added tests and docs
1787 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

1795 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
1796 functions to facilitate introspection.
1798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1799 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1800 to build the list of delegated methods
1801 correctly (and not override important
1802 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1804 - added tests and docs for this
1805 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1806 so that you can actually document your
1807 attributes and inspect them through the
1809 - added tests and docs for this
1811 * Moose::Meta::Class
1812 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1813 it will first look in for the class in the
1814 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1815 then default to just loading $name.
1816 - added tests and docs for this
1818 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1819 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1820 - added test for this
1823 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1824 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1825 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1826 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1828 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1829 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1832 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1834 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1835 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1836 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1839 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1840 !! for this developer release to work !!
1842 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1843 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1844 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1845 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1846 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1847 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1848 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1849 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1850 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1851 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1852 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1854 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1855 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1856 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1857 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1860 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1862 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1863 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1864 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1866 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1868 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1869 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1872 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1873 called unless they actually need to be.
1874 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1875 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1876 DEMOLISH method present.
1878 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1879 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1880 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1881 type constraint, which allows for a
1882 hand optimized version of the type
1883 constraint to be used when possible.
1884 - Any internally created type constraints
1885 now provide an optimized version as well.
1887 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1889 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1890 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1891 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1894 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1895 your class namespace of these exported
1898 * Moose::Meta::Class
1899 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1900 comes up during global destruction
1902 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1906 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1910 - changed how we do type checks so that
1911 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1914 - moved accessor generation methods to
1915 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1916 conform to the API changes from
1919 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1920 - changed how constraints are compiled
1921 so that we do less recursion and more
1922 iteration. This makes the type check
1924 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1927 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1928 - created this from methods formerly found in
1929 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1931 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1932 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1935 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1937 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1938 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1940 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1943 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
1944 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
1945 - added tests for this
1946 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
1947 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
1948 broke predicates in an ugly way.
1949 - removed tests for this
1951 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
1953 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
1954 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1955 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1958 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
1959 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
1960 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
1962 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
1963 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
1964 comments for more info.
1967 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
1968 asked questions and common problems
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
1972 - added tests for this
1974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1975 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
1976 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
1977 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
1979 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
1980 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
1983 - added basic support for runtime role composition
1984 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
1985 is much appreciated :)
1986 - added tests for this
1988 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1989 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
1990 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
1993 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1994 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
1996 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
1998 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1999 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2003 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2004 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2005 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2007 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2009 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2012 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2013 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2014 keywords because we need to localize them.
2015 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2017 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2018 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2019 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2022 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2025 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2026 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2027 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2030 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2031 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2032 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2034 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2036 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2037 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2038 bottom of your class file.
2041 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2044 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2046 - improved error message when loading modules so
2047 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2048 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2049 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2052 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2053 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2054 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2056 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2057 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2059 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2060 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2061 turn them on for you.

2091 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2092 - This release works in combination with
2093 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2094 release because it uses the a new
2095 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2096 complete Role implementation. It has
2097 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2098 the the previous CPAN version. This
2099 release also lacks good updated docs,
2100 the official release will have updated docs.
2103 - refactored the keyword exports
2104 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2105 accepts more than one Role at a time
2106 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2107 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2110 - refactored the keyword exports
2111 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2112 accepts more than one Role at a time
2114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2115 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2116 string enumerations which can be used as
2118 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2121 - more careful checking of params to new()
2124 - much work done on the role composition
2125 - many new tests for conflict detection
2126 and composition edge cases
2127 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2128 looking at the tests
2130 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2131 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2132 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2134 * Moose::Meta::Class
2135 - some small changes to support the new
2137 - some small additions to support Roles
2139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2140 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2142 - some small changes to support the new
2144 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2145 with the 'handles' option
2146 - added several tests for this
2147 - no docs for this yet

2151 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2152 thanks to chansen for this commit
2153 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2154 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2155 on a per-attribute basis
2156 - added tests for this
2157 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2158 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2159 experimental feature and probably not finished
2160 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2161 more details, or ask about it on #moose
