1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came
8 up three times today (perigrin)
9 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
10 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
12 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods to
13 prevent unnecessary introspection in Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
15 - Required methods of roles are now represented by
16 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
17 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting objects.
18 There's benefit for end-users in that unresolved conflicts
19 generate different, more instructive, errors, resolving Ovid's
22 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP (nothingmuch)
23 - Add test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class (groditi)
25 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
27 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
30 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
31 during global destruction. This method has been made more
32 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
36 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
37 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
40 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
41 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
43 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
44 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
45 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
48 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
50 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
51 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
54 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
58 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
59 methods during global destruction (doy)
62 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
63 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
67 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
68 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
71 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
72 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
75 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
76 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
80 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
84 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
85 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
86 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
89 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
90 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
91 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
94 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
95 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
98 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
99 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
100 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
104 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
105 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
106 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
108 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
109 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
110 of the Moose core (Sartak)
113 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
116 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
117 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
118 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
122 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
123 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
126 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
128 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
131 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
132 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
135 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
136 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
139 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
140 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
143 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
146 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
148 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
149 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
153 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
155 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
156 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
159 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
160 * More deprecations and renamings
161 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
162 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
163 when an object is constructed)
166 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
167 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
168 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
171 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
172 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
173 feature, and it works again.
176 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
178 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
180 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
181 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
182 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
184 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
185 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
186 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
187 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
188 message. Test provided by perigrin.
190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
191 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
192 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
193 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
194 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
197 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
198 metaclass object. (hdp)
200 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
201 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
202 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
203 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
204 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
205 point out this fact. (hdp)
207 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
208 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
210 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
211 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
215 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
216 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
217 called during instance construction were passed the
218 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
219 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
221 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
222 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
225 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
226 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
227 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
230 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
231 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
232 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
233 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
234 them, but they are not for "public" use.
237 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
239 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
240 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
241 when an object is constructed)
242 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
244 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
245 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
246 when an object is constructed)
247 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
248 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
249 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
252 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
254 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
255 * No changes from 0.72_01.
257 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
259 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
260 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
261 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
264 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
265 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
267 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
269 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
270 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
272 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
273 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
276 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
277 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
280 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
281 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
282 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
285 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
289 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
290 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
291 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
294 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
297 * Moose::Manual::Delta
298 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
299 with recommended workarounds.
301 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
302 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
305 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
306 (yes, spelled like that).
308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
309 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
312 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
313 changes in latest Class::MOP.
315 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
318 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
319 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
320 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
321 instead. Reported by doy.
323 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
325 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
326 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
329 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
330 message) is now deprecated.
331 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
332 often got it wrong. For example:
334 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
336 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
340 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
341 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
342 bite you in weird cases.
344 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
345 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
346 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
349 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
350 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
354 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
357 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
358 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
361 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
362 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
364 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
365 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
368 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
370 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
371 - added tests for this (stevan)
373 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
374 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
375 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
376 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
380 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
381 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
382 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
383 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
385 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
386 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
387 - added tests for this (rafl)
389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
390 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
391 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
392 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
396 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
397 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
400 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
401 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
402 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
404 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
406 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
407 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
410 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
411 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
412 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
413 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
416 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
417 error message did not specify the attribute name
420 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
422 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
424 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
425 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
426 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
429 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
432 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
434 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
435 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
436 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
437 of fixes and formatting improvements.
439 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
441 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
442 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
443 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
444 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
447 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
448 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
450 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
451 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
452 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
453 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
454 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
456 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
457 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
458 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
459 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
460 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
463 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
464 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
465 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
466 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
467 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
469 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
470 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
471 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
472 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
473 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
474 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
476 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
477 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
479 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
480 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
481 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
482 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
485 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
488 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
492 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
493 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
495 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
496 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
497 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
500 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
502 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
505 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
506 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
507 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
510 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
513 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
514 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
516 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
518 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
521 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
522 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
523 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
524 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
525 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
526 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
529 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
530 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
531 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
532 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
533 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
534 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
535 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
536 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
537 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
539 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
541 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
542 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
544 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
545 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
546 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
547 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
549 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
550 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
551 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
552 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
553 same methods for a single role did not work
554 right (worked just fine with multiple
556 - added test for this (stevan)
558 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
559 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
560 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
563 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
564 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
565 - added test for this (t0m)
568 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
569 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
570 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
573 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
574 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
575 - added test for this (t0m)
577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
578 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
579 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
580 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
581 - added test for this (perigrin)
584 - create method for constructing a role
586 - added test for this (Sartak)
587 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
588 - added test for this (Sartak)
591 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
593 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
594 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
595 methods is useful (Sartak)
597 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
598 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
599 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
603 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
604 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
605 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
606 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
607 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
608 - added tests for this (jdv79)
611 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
612 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
615 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
616 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
617 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
618 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
620 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
622 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
623 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
624 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
627 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
628 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
629 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
630 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
631 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
632 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
636 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
637 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
638 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
639 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
640 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
641 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
642 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
643 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
644 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
645 future. (jnapiorkowski)
647 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
648 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
651 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
652 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
653 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
654 type. (jnapiorkowski)
655 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
657 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
659 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
660 predicate, and link to more details sections in
661 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
664 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
666 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
667 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
668 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
669 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
672 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
673 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
675 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
677 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
678 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
681 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
682 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
686 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
687 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
688 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
690 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
691 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
694 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
695 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
696 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
697 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
698 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
699 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
700 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
702 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
703 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
704 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
706 * Roles and role application
707 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
708 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
709 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
710 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
711 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
713 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
714 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
717 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
718 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
719 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
720 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
721 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
724 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
725 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
726 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
727 changes in the Moose internals.
729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
731 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
735 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
736 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
737 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
739 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
740 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
741 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
742 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
744 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
745 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
746 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
747 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
748 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
749 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
750 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
751 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
752 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
753 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
754 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
755 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
756 constraint implementations.
758 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
762 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
763 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
764 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
765 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
766 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
767 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
768 - added tests for this (rafl)
771 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
772 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
773 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
774 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
775 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
776 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
777 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
778 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
781 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
782 - added tests for this (thepler)
784 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
785 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
786 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
787 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
791 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
792 * Moose::Meta::Method
795 * Moose::Error::Default
796 * Moose::Error::Croak
797 * Moose::Error::Confess
798 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
799 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
800 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
801 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
802 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
803 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
805 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
807 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
808 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
811 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
812 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
813 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
816 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
817 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
818 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
819 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
822 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
823 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
825 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
826 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
827 several major changes in this release of Moose.
828 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
831 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
833 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
834 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
836 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
841 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed

846 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
847 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
848 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
849 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
850 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
851 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
853 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
854 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
855 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
857 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

862 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
863 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
864 dependency to 0.64_07.
866 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
867 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
868 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
871 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
875 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
876 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
877 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
878 coincidental exception. (t0m).
879 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
882 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
884 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
886 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
887 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
891 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
892 method when that method was provided by another role being
893 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
894 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
896 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
898 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
899 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

903 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
904 - added test for this (t0m)
906 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
907 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
908 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
910 - added test for this (t0m)
913 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
914 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
915 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
918 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
919 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
921 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
923 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
926 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
927 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
928 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
930 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
931 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
934 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
935 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
936 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
937 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
941 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
942 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
943 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
946 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
947 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
948 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
949 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
952 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
956 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
957 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
958 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

978 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
979 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
980 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

999 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1001 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1002 ... this is not my day today ...
1004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1005 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1006 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1007 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1008 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1011 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1012 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1013 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1014 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1015 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1018 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1020 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1021 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1022 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1023 this is not ever something you want to do
1024 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1025 - added tests for this (stevan)
1028 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1030 - added test for this

1050 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1053 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1054 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1055 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1056 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1057 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1058 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1059 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1060 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1061 - added tests for this
1063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1064 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1065 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1066 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1068 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1137 which was causing the indexer to choke
1139 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1140 (late night release engineering)--
1142 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1143 changes in this release
1145 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1146 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1147 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

1156 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1159 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1161 method for immutablization to check if the
1162 destructor object even needs to be created
1165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1166 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1167 - added more descriptive error message to help
1168 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1169 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1171 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1173 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1174 XS based functionality is now optional
1175 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1176 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1177 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1179 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1180 to take care of this, mostly we added
1181 support for the package_name and name
1182 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1183 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1184 support regexp matching of names
1185 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1188 is currently not supported in roles,
1189 but, ... patches welcome

1191 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1192 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1195 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1196 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1197 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1198 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1199 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1200 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1201 - added test for this
1203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1225 called by the inlined immutable
1227 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1230 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1231 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1232 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1234 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1235 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1239 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1240 causing occasional cpantester failures

1247 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1250 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1251 ->body when looping through the
1252 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1254 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1255 eating the $@ values, and so not
1256 working correctly, it still kind of
1257 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1258 - added tests for this
1260 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1261 - added new recipe for immutable

1273 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1275 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1276 since Module::Install has done that.
1278 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1280 drink more coffee before
1281 doing release engineering
1283 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1284 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1285 modules. This fixes that.

1398 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1400 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1401 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1444 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1445 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1691 - added tests for this
1694 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1695 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1737 - fixed how required methods are handled
1738 when they encounter overriden or modified
1739 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1740 - added tests for this
1742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1750 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1753 * Parameterized Types
1754 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1755 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1756 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1757 They can also be nested:
1758 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1759 And work with the type unions as well:
1760 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1762 * Better Framework Extendability
1763 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1764 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1765 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1766 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1769 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1770 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1771 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1772 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1775 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1777 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2012 * Moose::Meta::Class
2013 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2014 it will first look in for the class in the
2015 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2016 then default to just loading $name.
2017 - added tests and docs for this
2019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2020 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2021 - added test for this

2029 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2030 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2033 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2035 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2036 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2037 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2040 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2041 !! for this developer release to work !!
2043 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2044 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2045 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2046 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2047 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2048 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2049 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2050 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2051 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2052 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2053 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2055 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2056 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2057 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2058 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2061 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2063 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2064 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2065 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2067 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2069 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2070 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2073 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2074 called unless they actually need to be.
2075 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2076 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2077 DEMOLISH method present.
2079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2080 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2081 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2082 type constraint, which allows for a
2083 hand optimized version of the type
2084 constraint to be used when possible.
2085 - Any internally created type constraints
2086 now provide an optimized version as well.
2088 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2090 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2091 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2092 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2094 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2095 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2096 your class namespace of these exported
2099 * Moose::Meta::Class
2100 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2101 comes up during global destruction
2103 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2107 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2111 - changed how we do type checks so that
2112 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2115 - moved accessor generation methods to
2116 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2117 conform to the API changes from
2120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2121 - changed how constraints are compiled
2122 so that we do less recursion and more
2123 iteration. This makes the type check
2125 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2128 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2129 - created this from methods formerly found in
2130 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2132 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2133 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2136 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2138 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2139 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2141 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2144 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2145 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2146 - added tests for this
2147 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2148 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2149 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2150 - removed tests for this
2152 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2154 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2155 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2156 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2159 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2160 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2161 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2163 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2164 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2165 comments for more info.
2168 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2169 asked questions and common problems
2171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2172 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2173 - added tests for this
2175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2176 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2177 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2178 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2180 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2181 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2184 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2185 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2186 is much appreciated :)
2187 - added tests for this
2189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2190 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2191 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2194 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2195 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2197 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2199 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2200 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2204 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2205 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2206 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2208 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2210 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2213 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2214 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2215 keywords because we need to localize them.
2216 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2218 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2219 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2220 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2223 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2226 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2227 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2228 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2231 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2232 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2233 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2235 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2237 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2238 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2239 bottom of your class file.
2242 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2245 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2247 - improved error message when loading modules so
2248 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2249 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2250 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2253 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2254 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2255 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2257 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2258 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2260 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2261 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2262 turn them on for you.
2263 - added tests for this
2264 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2265 in Moose::Meta::Class
2268 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2269 automatically turned on for you.

2291 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2292 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2293 - This release works in combination with
2294 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2295 release because it uses the a new
2296 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2297 complete Role implementation. It has
2298 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2299 the the previous CPAN version. This
2300 release also lacks good updated docs,
2301 the official release will have updated docs.
2304 - refactored the keyword exports
2305 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2306 accepts more than one Role at a time
2307 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2308 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2311 - refactored the keyword exports
2312 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2313 accepts more than one Role at a time
2315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2316 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2317 string enumerations which can be used as
2319 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2322 - more careful checking of params to new()
2325 - much work done on the role composition
2326 - many new tests for conflict detection
2327 and composition edge cases
2328 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2329 looking at the tests
2331 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2332 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2333 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2335 * Moose::Meta::Class
2336 - some small changes to support the new
2338 - some small additions to support Roles
2340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2341 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2343 - some small changes to support the new
2345 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2346 with the 'handles' option
2347 - added several tests for this
2348 - no docs for this yet
2350 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2352 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2353 thanks to chansen for this commit
2354 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2355 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2356 on a per-attribute basis
2357 - added tests for this
2358 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2359 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2360 experimental feature and probably not finished

2425 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2427 - added test for this
2430 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2431 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
