1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix some indexing issues.
9 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
11 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
15 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
16 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
17 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
18 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
19 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
21 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
22 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
27 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
28 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
29 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
30 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
32 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
33 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
34 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
38 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
39 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
41 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
45 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
46 policy. (Chris Prather)
48 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
49 on this new support policy. (doy)
53 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
54 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
55 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
57 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
58 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
60 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
64 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
65 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
66 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
67 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
74 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
75 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
78 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
82 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
83 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
85 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
86 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
91 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
92 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
93 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
94 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
95 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
97 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
98 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
100 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
101 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
102 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
103 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
106 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
108 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
113 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
114 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
116 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
120 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
121 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
122 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
124 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
128 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
129 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
130 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
132 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
133 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
136 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
137 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
140 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
141 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
142 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
144 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
145 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
150 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
151 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
152 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
153 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
155 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
156 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
158 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
159 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
161 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
162 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
163 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
164 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
166 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
167 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
168 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
171 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
172 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
173 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
174 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
176 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
177 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
180 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
181 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
182 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
184 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
188 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
189 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
190 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
192 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
193 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
194 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
197 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
198 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
199 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
201 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
202 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
203 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
205 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
206 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
210 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
211 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
212 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
214 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
215 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
216 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
217 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
219 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
223 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
224 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
225 value is a reference.
227 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
228 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
230 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
234 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
235 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
236 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
238 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
242 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
243 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
247 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
248 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
249 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
251 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
252 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
253 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
255 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
259 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
261 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
265 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
267 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
268 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
273 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
274 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
276 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
277 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
278 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
279 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
280 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
282 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
283 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
284 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
285 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
287 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
291 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
292 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
297 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
299 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
301 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
306 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
308 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
312 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
313 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
314 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
316 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
317 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
318 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
319 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
321 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
322 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
323 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
324 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
325 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
328 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
333 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
334 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
335 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
336 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
337 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
340 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
344 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
347 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
348 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
352 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
353 function (not just method). (doy)
357 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
358 and aren't easily installable/testable.
360 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
364 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
365 to be overridden more easily (doy).
367 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
371 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
372 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
374 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
378 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
379 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
380 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
382 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
386 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
387 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
388 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
390 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
391 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
395 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
396 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
398 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
399 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
403 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
404 is applied to a class (t0m).
406 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
407 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
409 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
412 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
413 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
415 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
416 be much more robust. (doy)
418 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
420 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
423 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
427 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
428 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
430 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
434 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
435 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
437 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
440 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
441 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
442 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
444 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
445 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
446 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
449 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
451 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
455 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
456 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
460 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
462 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
467 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
471 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
472 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
476 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
478 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
482 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
483 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
487 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
488 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
492 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
493 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
495 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
499 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
500 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
501 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
504 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
508 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
509 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
510 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
511 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
513 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
517 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
518 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
519 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
523 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
526 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
531 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
532 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
536 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
537 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
539 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
540 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
541 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
542 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
544 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
548 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
552 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
553 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
555 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
556 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
557 - Moose::Util::does_role
558 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
559 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
560 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
562 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
566 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
567 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
568 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
571 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
575 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
576 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
579 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
583 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
584 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
587 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
591 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
593 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
594 class. (Dave Rolsky).
596 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
597 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
598 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
600 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
601 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
602 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
605 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
606 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
608 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
609 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
610 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
612 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
614 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
615 substr et al, again. (sorear)
617 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
619 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
622 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
623 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
625 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
626 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
628 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
629 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
630 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
631 dependencies installed.
633 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
634 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
637 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
639 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
643 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
645 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
646 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
647 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
650 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
651 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
653 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
654 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
657 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
658 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
659 others. (nothingmuch)
661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
662 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
663 remove_accessors. (doy)
665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
666 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
667 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
670 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
672 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
674 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
675 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
678 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
679 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
682 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
684 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
686 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
687 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
691 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
692 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
693 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
694 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
696 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
699 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
700 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
701 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
702 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
705 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
706 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
707 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
708 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
709 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
711 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
712 which were not receiving the value of
713 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
714 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
715 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
716 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
720 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
721 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
722 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
723 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
724 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
728 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
729 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
730 - added tests for this (Stevan)
733 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
734 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
735 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
738 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
740 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
743 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
744 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
747 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
748 class if you pass it options for
749 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
750 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
751 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
752 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
753 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
754 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
755 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
756 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
757 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
759 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
760 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
761 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
762 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
763 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
766 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
768 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
769 existing delegation API. (hdp)
771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
772 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
773 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
774 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
775 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
776 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
779 * Moose::Error::Croak
780 * Moose::Error::Confess
781 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
782 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
785 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
788 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
789 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
790 installing a broken sub. (doy)
793 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
796 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
797 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
798 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
800 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
801 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
802 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
803 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
804 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
807 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
810 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
812 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
813 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
816 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
817 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
820 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
821 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
822 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
825 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
826 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
827 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
828 using it for new code!
830 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
831 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
832 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
833 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
835 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
836 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
837 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
838 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
839 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
840 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
841 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
842 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
845 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
848 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
849 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
853 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
855 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
856 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
857 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
861 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
862 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
865 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
866 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
868 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
869 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
870 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
873 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
875 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
876 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
877 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
878 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
880 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
882 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
886 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
887 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
889 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
890 associated_methods. (hdp)
891 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
892 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
893 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
894 misspelled) arguments
896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
897 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
898 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
899 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
902 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
903 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
905 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
909 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
910 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
913 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
914 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
916 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
918 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
919 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
921 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
922 * Moose::Manual::Types
923 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
924 string parsing rathole (mst)
926 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
927 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
928 using plain objects instead
930 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
931 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
934 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
936 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
937 three times today (perigrin)
938 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
939 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
942 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
943 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
944 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
947 - A role's required methods are now represented by
948 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
949 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
950 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
951 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
952 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
955 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
956 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
957 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
958 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
961 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
963 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
966 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
968 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
971 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
972 during global destruction. This method has been made more
973 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
977 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
978 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
981 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
982 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
984 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
985 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
986 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
989 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
991 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
992 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
995 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
999 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1000 methods during global destruction (doy)
1002 * Moose::Meta::Class
1003 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1004 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1005 consumption (Sartak)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Class
1008 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1009 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1012 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1013 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1016 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1017 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1019 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1021 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1025 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1026 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1027 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1030 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1031 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1032 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1035 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1037 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1038 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1039 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1042 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1043 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1044 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1045 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1047 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1048 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1049 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1052 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1055 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1056 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1057 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1061 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1062 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Class
1065 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1067 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1069 * Moose::Meta::Class
1070 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1071 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1074 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1075 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1078 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1079 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1082 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1085 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1088 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1091 * Moose::Meta::Class
1092 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1095 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1098 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1099 * More deprecations and renamings
1100 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1101 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1102 when an object is constructed)
1105 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1106 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1107 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1110 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1111 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1112 feature, and it works again.
1115 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1117 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1119 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1120 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1121 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1124 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1125 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1126 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1127 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1129 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1130 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1131 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1132 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1133 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1136 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1137 metaclass object. (hdp)
1139 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1140 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1141 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1142 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1143 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1144 point out this fact. (hdp)
1146 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1147 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1149 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1150 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1152 * Moose::Meta::Class
1153 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1154 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1155 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1156 called during instance construction were passed the
1157 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1158 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1160 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1161 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1164 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1165 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1166 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1169 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1170 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1171 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1172 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1173 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1175 - Moose::Meta::Class
1176 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1178 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1179 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1180 when an object is constructed)
1181 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1183 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1184 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1185 when an object is constructed)
1186 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1187 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1188 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1191 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1193 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1194 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1196 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1198 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1199 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1200 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1203 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1204 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1206 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1208 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1209 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1212 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1215 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1216 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1219 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1220 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1221 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1224 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1228 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1229 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1230 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1233 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1236 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1237 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1238 with recommended workarounds.
1240 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1241 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1244 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1245 (yes, spelled like that).
1247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1248 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1250 * Moose::Meta::Class
1251 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1252 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1254 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1257 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1258 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1259 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1260 instead. Reported by doy.
1262 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1264 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1265 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1268 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1269 message) is now deprecated.
1270 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1271 often got it wrong. For example:
1273 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1275 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1279 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1280 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1281 bite you in weird cases.
1283 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1284 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1285 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1286 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1288 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1289 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1293 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1296 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1297 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1300 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1301 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1304 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1307 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1309 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1310 - added tests for this (stevan)
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1313 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1314 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1315 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1319 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1320 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1321 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1322 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1324 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1325 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1326 - added tests for this (rafl)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1329 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1330 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1331 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1335 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1336 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1339 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1340 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1341 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1343 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1345 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1346 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1348 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1349 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1350 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1351 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1352 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1355 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1356 error message did not specify the attribute name
1359 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1361 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1363 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1364 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1365 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1368 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1371 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1373 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1374 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1375 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1376 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1378 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1380 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1381 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1382 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1383 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1386 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1387 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1390 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1391 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1392 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1393 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1396 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1397 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1398 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1399 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1401 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1402 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1403 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1404 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1405 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1406 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1408 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1409 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1410 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1411 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1412 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1413 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1416 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1418 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1419 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1420 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1421 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1424 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1427 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1431 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1432 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1434 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1435 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1436 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1437 guts. (nothingmuch).
1439 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1441 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1444 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1445 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1446 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1448 * Moose::Meta::Class
1449 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1452 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1453 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1455 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1456 * Moose::Unsweetened
1457 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1460 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1461 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1462 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1463 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1464 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1465 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1467 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1468 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1469 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1470 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1471 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1472 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1473 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1474 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1475 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1476 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1478 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1480 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1481 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1484 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1485 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1486 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1488 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1489 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1490 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1491 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1492 same methods for a single role did not work
1493 right (worked just fine with multiple
1495 - added test for this (stevan)
1497 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1498 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1499 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1502 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1503 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1504 - added test for this (t0m)
1507 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1508 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1509 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1512 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1513 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1514 - added test for this (t0m)
1516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1517 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1518 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1519 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1520 - added test for this (perigrin)
1523 - create method for constructing a role
1524 dynamically (Sartak)
1525 - added test for this (Sartak)
1526 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1527 - added test for this (Sartak)
1530 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1533 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1534 methods is useful (Sartak)
1536 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1538 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1541 * Moose::Meta::Class
1542 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1543 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1544 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1545 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1546 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1547 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1550 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1551 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1554 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1555 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1556 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1557 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1559 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1561 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1562 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1563 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1566 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1567 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1568 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1569 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1570 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1571 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1575 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1576 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1577 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1578 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1579 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1580 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1581 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1582 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1583 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1584 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1586 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1587 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1590 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1591 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1592 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1593 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1594 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1596 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1598 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1599 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1600 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1603 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1606 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1607 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1608 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1611 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1612 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1614 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1616 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1617 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1619 * Moose::Meta::Class
1620 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1621 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1622 a required attribute
1624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1625 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1626 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1627 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1629 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1630 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1633 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1634 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1635 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1636 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1637 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1638 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1639 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1641 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1642 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1643 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1645 * Roles and role application
1646 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1647 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1648 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1649 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1650 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1652 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1653 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1656 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1657 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1658 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1659 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1660 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1663 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1664 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1665 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1666 changes in the Moose internals.
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1670 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1674 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1675 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1676 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1678 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1679 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1680 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1681 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1684 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1685 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1686 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1687 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1688 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1689 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1690 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1691 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1692 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1693 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1694 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1695 constraint implementations.
1697 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1701 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1702 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1703 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1704 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1705 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1706 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1707 - added tests for this (rafl)
1709 * Moose::Meta::Class
1710 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1711 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1712 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1713 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1714 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1715 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1716 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1717 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1720 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1721 - added tests for this (thepler)
1723 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1724 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1725 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1726 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1729 * Moose::Meta::Class
1730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1731 * Moose::Meta::Method
1734 * Moose::Error::Default
1735 * Moose::Error::Croak
1736 * Moose::Error::Confess
1737 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1738 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1739 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1740 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1741 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1742 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1744 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1746 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1747 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 * Moose::Unsweetened
1750 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1751 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1752 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1755 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1756 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1757 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1758 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1761 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1762 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1764 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1765 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1766 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1767 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1770 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1772 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1773 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1775 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1778 - Various bug fixes.
1780 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1781 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1783 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1785 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1786 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1788 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1789 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1790 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1793 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1794 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1797 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1798 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1801 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1802 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1803 dependency to 0.64_07.
1805 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1806 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1807 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1810 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1813 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1814 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1815 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1816 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1817 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1818 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1821 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1823 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1825 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1826 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1830 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1831 method when that method was provided by another role being
1832 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1835 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1837 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1838 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1841 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1842 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1843 - added test for this (t0m)
1845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1846 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1847 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1849 - added test for this (t0m)
1852 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1853 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1854 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1858 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1860 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1862 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1863 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1866 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1867 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1870 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1874 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1875 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1876 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1880 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1881 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1882 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1886 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1887 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1888 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1891 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1895 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1896 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1897 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1899 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1901 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1902 created so that the process can be more easily
1903 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1905 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1906 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1907 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1908 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1911 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1914 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1915 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1917 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1918 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1919 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1921 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1922 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1923 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1925 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1926 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1928 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1929 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1932 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1933 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1937 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1938 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1940 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1941 ... this is not my day today ...
1943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1944 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1945 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1946 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1947 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1950 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1951 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1952 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1953 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1954 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1957 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1959 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1960 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1961 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1962 this is not ever something you want to do
1963 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1964 - added tests for this (stevan)
1967 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1969 - added test for this
1971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1972 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1973 - added tests for this (wreis)
1975 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1976 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1977 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1978 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1981 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1982 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1985 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1987 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1989 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1992 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1993 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1994 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1995 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1996 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1997 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1998 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1999 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 - added tests for this
2002 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2003 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2004 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2005 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2007 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2010 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2011 - added tests for this (sartak)
2012 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2013 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2016 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2019 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2022 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2023 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2024 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2026 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2028 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2029 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2032 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2033 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2034 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2037 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2038 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2040 - added docs for this (TODO).

2113 XS based functionality is now optional
2114 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2115 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2116 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2190 ->body when looping through the
2191 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2193 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2194 eating the $@ values, and so not
2195 working correctly, it still kind of
2196 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2197 - added tests for this

2219 drink more coffee before
2220 doing release engineering
2222 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2337 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2339 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2676 - fixed how required methods are handled
2677 when they encounter overriden or modified
2678 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2679 - added tests for this
2681 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2682 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2683 the | always creates a union and so is
2684 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2685 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2687 - added more tests for this
2689 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2692 * Parameterized Types
2693 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2694 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2695 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2696 They can also be nested:
2697 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2698 And work with the type unions as well:
2699 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2701 * Better Framework Extendability
2702 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2703 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2704 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2705 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2708 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2709 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2710 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2711 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2714 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2716 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2717 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2720 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2777 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2779 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2870 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2871 prototypes for functions
2872 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2873 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2883 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2886 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2887 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2888 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2889 - added tests for this
2891 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2893 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2919 so this release is just to fix that.
2922 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2923 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2924 (thanks to konobi for this)

2936 functions to facilitate introspection.
2938 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2942 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2944 - added tests and docs for this
2945 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2946 so that you can actually document your
2947 attributes and inspect them through the
2949 - added tests and docs for this
2951 * Moose::Meta::Class
2952 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2953 it will first look in for the class in the
2954 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2955 then default to just loading $name.
2956 - added tests and docs for this
2958 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2959 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2960 - added test for this
2963 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2964 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2965 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2966 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2968 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2969 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2972 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2974 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2975 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2976 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2979 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2980 !! for this developer release to work !!
2982 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2983 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2984 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2985 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2986 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2987 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2988 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2989 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2990 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2991 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2992 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2994 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2995 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2996 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2997 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3000 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3001 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3002 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3003 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3004 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3006 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3008 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3009 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3012 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3013 called unless they actually need to be.
3014 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3015 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3016 DEMOLISH method present.
3018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3020 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3021 type constraint, which allows for a
3022 hand optimized version of the type
3023 constraint to be used when possible.
3024 - Any internally created type constraints
3025 now provide an optimized version as well.
3027 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3029 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3030 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3031 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3033 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3034 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3035 your class namespace of these exported
3038 * Moose::Meta::Class
3039 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3040 comes up during global destruction
3042 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3046 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3050 - changed how we do type checks so that
3051 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3054 - moved accessor generation methods to
3055 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3056 conform to the API changes from
3059 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3060 - changed how constraints are compiled
3061 so that we do less recursion and more
3062 iteration. This makes the type check
3064 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3067 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3068 - created this from methods formerly found in
3069 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3071 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3072 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3074 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3075 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3078 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3080 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3082 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3083 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3084 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3085 - added tests for this
3086 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3087 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3088 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3089 - removed tests for this
3091 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3093 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3094 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3095 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3098 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3099 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3100 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3102 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3103 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3104 comments for more info.
3107 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3108 asked questions and common problems
3110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3111 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3112 - added tests for this
3114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3115 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3116 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3117 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3119 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3120 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3123 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3124 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3125 is much appreciated :)
3126 - added tests for this
3128 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3129 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3130 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3134 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3136 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3138 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3139 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3143 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3144 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3145 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3147 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3149 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3152 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3153 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3154 keywords because we need to localize them.
3155 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3157 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3158 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3159 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3162 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3166 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3167 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3170 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3171 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3172 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3174 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3176 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3177 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3178 bottom of your class file.
3181 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3184 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3186 - improved error message when loading modules so
3187 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3188 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3189 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3192 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3193 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3194 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3197 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3199 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3200 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3201 turn them on for you.
3202 - added tests for this
3203 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3204 in Moose::Meta::Class

3231 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3232 - This release works in combination with
3233 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3234 release because it uses the a new
3235 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3236 complete Role implementation. It has
3237 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3238 the the previous CPAN version. This
3239 release also lacks good updated docs,
3240 the official release will have updated docs.
3243 - refactored the keyword exports
3244 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3245 accepts more than one Role at a time

3258 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3261 - more careful checking of params to new()
3264 - much work done on the role composition
3265 - many new tests for conflict detection
3266 and composition edge cases
3267 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3268 looking at the tests
3270 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3271 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3272 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3293 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3294 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3295 on a per-attribute basis
3296 - added tests for this
3297 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3298 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3299 experimental feature and probably not finished
