1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
9 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
10 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
13 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
16 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
17 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
20 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
21 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
22 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
24 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
25 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
30 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
31 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
32 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
35 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
36 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
38 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
39 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
41 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
42 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
43 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
46 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
47 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
48 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
51 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
52 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
53 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
54 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
56 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
57 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
60 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
61 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
68 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
69 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
70 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
72 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
73 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
74 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
77 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
78 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
79 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
81 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
82 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
83 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
85 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
86 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
90 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
91 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
92 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
94 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
95 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
96 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
97 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
99 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
103 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
104 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
105 value is a reference.
107 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
108 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
110 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
114 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
115 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
116 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
118 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
122 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
123 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
127 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
128 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
129 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
131 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
132 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
133 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
135 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
139 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
141 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
145 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
147 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
148 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
153 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
154 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
156 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
157 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
158 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
159 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
160 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
162 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
163 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
164 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
165 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
167 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
171 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
172 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
177 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
179 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
181 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
186 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
188 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
192 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
193 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
194 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
196 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
197 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
198 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
199 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
201 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
202 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
203 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
204 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
205 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
208 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
213 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
214 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
215 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
216 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
217 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
220 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
224 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
227 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
228 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
232 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
233 function (not just method). (doy)
237 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
238 and aren't easily installable/testable.
240 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
244 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
245 to be overridden more easily (doy).
247 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
251 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
252 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
254 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
258 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
259 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
260 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
262 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
266 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
267 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
268 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
270 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
271 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
275 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
276 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
278 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
279 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
283 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
284 is applied to a class (t0m).
286 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
287 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
289 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
292 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
293 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
295 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
296 be much more robust. (doy)
298 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
300 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
303 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
307 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
308 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
310 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
314 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
315 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
317 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
320 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
321 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
322 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
324 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
325 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
326 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
329 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
331 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
335 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
336 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
340 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
342 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
347 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
351 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
352 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
356 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
358 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
362 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
363 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
367 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
368 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
372 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
373 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
375 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
379 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
380 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
381 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
384 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
388 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
389 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
390 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
391 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
393 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
397 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
398 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
399 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
403 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
406 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
411 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
412 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
416 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
417 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
419 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
420 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
421 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
422 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
424 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
428 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
432 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
433 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
435 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
436 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
437 - Moose::Util::does_role
438 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
439 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
440 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
442 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
446 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
447 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
448 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
451 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
455 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
456 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
459 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
463 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
464 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
467 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
471 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
473 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
474 class. (Dave Rolsky).
476 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
477 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
478 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
480 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
481 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
482 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
485 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
486 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
488 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
489 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
490 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
492 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
494 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
495 substr et al, again. (sorear)
497 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
499 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
502 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
503 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
505 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
506 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
508 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
509 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
510 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
511 dependencies installed.
513 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
514 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
517 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
519 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
523 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
526 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
527 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
529 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
530 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
531 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
533 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
534 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
537 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
538 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
539 others. (nothingmuch)
541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
542 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
543 remove_accessors. (doy)
545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
546 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
547 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
550 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
552 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
554 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
555 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
558 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
559 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
562 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
564 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
566 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
567 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
571 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
572 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
573 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
574 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
576 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
579 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
580 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
581 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
582 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
585 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
586 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
587 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
588 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
589 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
591 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
592 which were not receiving the value of
593 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
594 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
595 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
596 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
600 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
601 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
602 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
603 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
604 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
608 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
609 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
610 - added tests for this (Stevan)
613 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
614 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
615 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
618 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
620 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
622 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
623 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
624 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
627 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
628 class if you pass it options for
629 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
630 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
631 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
632 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
633 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
634 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
635 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
636 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
637 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
639 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
640 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
641 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
642 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
643 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
646 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
648 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
649 existing delegation API. (hdp)
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
652 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
653 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
654 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
655 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
656 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
659 * Moose::Error::Croak
660 * Moose::Error::Confess
661 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
662 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
665 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
668 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
669 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
670 installing a broken sub. (doy)
673 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
676 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
677 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
678 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
680 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
681 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
682 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
683 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
684 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
686 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
687 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
690 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
692 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
693 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
696 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
697 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
699 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
701 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
702 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
705 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
706 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
707 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
708 using it for new code!
710 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
711 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
712 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
713 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
715 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
716 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
717 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
718 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
719 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
720 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
721 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
722 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
725 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
728 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
729 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
733 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
736 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
737 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
741 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
742 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
745 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
746 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
749 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
750 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
753 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
754 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
755 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
756 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
757 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
758 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
760 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
762 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
765 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
766 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
767 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
769 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
770 associated_methods. (hdp)
771 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
772 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
773 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
774 misspelled) arguments
776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
777 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
778 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
779 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
783 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
785 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
789 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
790 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
793 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
794 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
796 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
798 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
799 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
801 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
802 * Moose::Manual::Types
803 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
804 string parsing rathole (mst)
806 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
807 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
808 using plain objects instead
810 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
811 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
814 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
816 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
817 three times today (perigrin)
818 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
819 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
822 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
823 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
824 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
827 - A role's required methods are now represented by
828 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
829 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
830 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
831 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
832 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
835 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
836 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
837 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
838 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
841 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
843 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
846 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
848 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
851 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
852 during global destruction. This method has been made more
853 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
857 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
858 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
861 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
862 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
864 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
865 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
866 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
869 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
871 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
872 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
875 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
879 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
880 methods during global destruction (doy)
883 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
884 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
888 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
889 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
892 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
893 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
896 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
897 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
899 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
901 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
905 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
906 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
907 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
910 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
911 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
912 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
915 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
917 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
918 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
919 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
923 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
924 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
925 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
927 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
928 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
929 of the Moose core (Sartak)
932 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
935 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
936 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
937 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
941 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
942 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
945 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
947 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
950 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
951 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
954 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
955 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
958 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
959 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
962 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
965 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
968 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
972 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
975 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
978 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
979 * More deprecations and renamings
980 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
981 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
982 when an object is constructed)
985 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
986 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
987 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
990 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
991 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
992 feature, and it works again.
995 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
997 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
999 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1000 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1001 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1004 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1005 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1006 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1007 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1010 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1011 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1012 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1013 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1016 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1017 metaclass object. (hdp)
1019 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1020 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1021 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1022 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1023 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1024 point out this fact. (hdp)
1026 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1027 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1029 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1030 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1032 * Moose::Meta::Class
1033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1034 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1035 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1036 called during instance construction were passed the
1037 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1038 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1040 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1041 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1044 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1045 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1046 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1049 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1050 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1051 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1052 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1053 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1055 - Moose::Meta::Class
1056 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1058 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1059 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1060 when an object is constructed)
1061 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1063 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1064 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1065 when an object is constructed)
1066 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1067 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1068 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1071 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1073 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1074 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1076 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1078 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1079 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1080 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1083 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1084 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1086 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1089 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1091 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1092 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1096 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1099 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1100 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1101 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1104 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1108 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1109 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1110 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1113 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1116 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1117 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1118 with recommended workarounds.
1120 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1121 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1123 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1124 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1125 (yes, spelled like that).
1127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1128 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1130 * Moose::Meta::Class
1131 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1132 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1134 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1137 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1138 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1139 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1140 instead. Reported by doy.
1142 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1144 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1145 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1148 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1149 message) is now deprecated.
1150 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1151 often got it wrong. For example:
1153 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1155 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1159 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1160 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1161 bite you in weird cases.
1163 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1164 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1165 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1166 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1168 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1169 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1173 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1176 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1177 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1180 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1181 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1184 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1187 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1189 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1190 - added tests for this (stevan)
1192 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1193 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1194 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1195 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1199 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1200 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1201 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1202 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1204 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1205 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1206 - added tests for this (rafl)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1209 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1210 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1211 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1215 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1216 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1220 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1221 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1223 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1225 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1226 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1228 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1229 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1230 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1231 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1232 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1235 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1236 error message did not specify the attribute name
1239 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1241 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1243 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1244 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1245 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1248 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1251 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1253 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1254 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1255 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1256 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1258 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1260 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1261 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1262 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1263 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1266 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1267 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1270 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1271 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1272 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1273 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1276 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1277 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1278 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1279 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1282 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1283 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1284 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1285 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1286 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1288 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1289 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1290 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1291 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1292 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1293 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1295 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1296 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1298 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1299 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1300 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1301 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1304 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1307 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1311 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1312 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1314 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1315 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1316 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1317 guts. (nothingmuch).
1319 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1321 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1324 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1325 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1326 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Class
1329 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1332 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1333 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1336 * Moose::Unsweetened
1337 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1340 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1341 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1342 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1343 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1344 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1345 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1348 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1349 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1350 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1351 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1352 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1353 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1355 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1356 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1360 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1361 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1364 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1365 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1366 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1368 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1369 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1370 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1371 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1372 same methods for a single role did not work
1373 right (worked just fine with multiple
1375 - added test for this (stevan)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1378 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1379 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1382 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1383 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1384 - added test for this (t0m)
1387 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1388 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1389 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1392 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1393 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1394 - added test for this (t0m)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1397 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1398 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1399 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1400 - added test for this (perigrin)
1403 - create method for constructing a role
1404 dynamically (Sartak)
1405 - added test for this (Sartak)
1406 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1407 - added test for this (Sartak)
1410 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1412 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1413 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1414 methods is useful (Sartak)
1416 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1418 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1421 * Moose::Meta::Class
1422 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1423 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1424 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1425 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1426 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1427 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1430 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1431 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1433 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1434 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1435 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1436 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1437 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1439 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1441 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1442 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1443 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1446 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1447 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1448 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1449 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1450 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1451 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1455 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1456 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1457 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1458 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1459 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1460 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1461 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1462 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1463 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1464 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1466 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1467 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1471 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1472 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1473 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1474 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1476 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1478 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1479 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1480 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1483 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1486 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1487 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1488 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1492 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1494 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1496 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1497 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1499 * Moose::Meta::Class
1500 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1501 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1502 a required attribute
1504 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1506 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1507 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1509 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1510 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1512 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1513 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1514 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1515 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1516 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1517 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1518 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1519 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1521 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1522 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1523 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1525 * Roles and role application
1526 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1527 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1528 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1529 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1530 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1532 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1533 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1536 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1537 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1538 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1539 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1540 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1543 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1544 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1545 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1546 changes in the Moose internals.
1548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1550 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1554 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1555 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1556 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1559 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1560 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1561 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1564 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1565 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1566 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1567 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1568 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1569 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1570 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1571 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1572 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1573 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1574 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1575 constraint implementations.
1577 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1581 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1582 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1583 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1584 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1585 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1586 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 - added tests for this (rafl)
1589 * Moose::Meta::Class
1590 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1591 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1592 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1593 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1594 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1595 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1596 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1597 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1600 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1601 - added tests for this (thepler)
1603 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1604 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1605 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1606 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1609 * Moose::Meta::Class
1610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1611 * Moose::Meta::Method
1614 * Moose::Error::Default
1615 * Moose::Error::Croak
1616 * Moose::Error::Confess
1617 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1618 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1619 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1620 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1621 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1622 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1624 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1626 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1627 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1629 * Moose::Unsweetened
1630 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1631 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1632 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1635 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1636 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1637 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1638 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1641 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1642 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1644 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1645 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1646 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1647 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1650 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1652 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1653 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1655 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1658 - Various bug fixes.
1660 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1661 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1663 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1665 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1666 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1667 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1668 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1669 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1670 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1673 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1674 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1678 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1681 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1682 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1683 dependency to 0.64_07.
1685 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1686 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1687 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1690 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1693 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1694 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1695 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1696 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1697 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1698 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1701 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1703 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1705 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1706 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1710 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1711 method when that method was provided by another role being
1712 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1713 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1715 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1717 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1718 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1721 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1722 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1723 - added test for this (t0m)
1725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1726 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1727 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1729 - added test for this (t0m)
1732 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1733 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1734 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1738 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1740 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1742 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1743 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1746 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1747 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1750 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1754 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1755 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1756 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1760 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1761 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1762 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1766 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1767 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1768 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1771 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1775 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1776 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1777 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1779 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1781 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1782 created so that the process can be more easily
1783 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1785 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1786 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1787 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1788 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1791 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1794 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1795 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1797 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1798 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1799 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1801 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1802 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1803 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1806 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1809 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1813 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1817 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1818 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1820 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1821 ... this is not my day today ...
1823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1824 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1825 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1826 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1827 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1830 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1831 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1832 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1833 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1834 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1837 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1839 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1840 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1841 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1842 this is not ever something you want to do
1843 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1844 - added tests for this (stevan)
1847 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1849 - added test for this
1851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1852 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1853 - added tests for this (wreis)
1855 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1856 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1857 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1858 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1860 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1861 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1862 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1865 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1867 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1869 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1872 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1873 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1874 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1875 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1876 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1877 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1878 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1879 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1880 - added tests for this
1882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1883 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1884 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1885 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1887 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1890 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1891 - added tests for this (sartak)
1892 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1893 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1896 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()

1902 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1903 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1904 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1906 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1908 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1909 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1916 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1917 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1918 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1920 - added docs for this (TODO).
1921 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1922 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1923 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1924 - fix builder and default both being used
1929 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1931 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1932 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1933 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1937 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1941 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1942 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1943 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1946 - move the ClassName type check code to
1947 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1949 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1950 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1952 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1953 (early morning release engineering)--
1955 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1956 which was causing the indexer to choke
1958 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1959 (late night release engineering)--
1961 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1962 changes in this release
1964 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1965 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1966 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1968 * Moose::Meta::Class
1969 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1970 since it is called so often by &meta
1972 * Moose::Meta::Class
1974 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1975 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1978 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1979 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1980 method for immutablization to check if the
1981 destructor object even needs to be created
1984 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1985 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1986 - added more descriptive error message to help
1987 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1988 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1990 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1992 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1993 XS based functionality is now optional
1994 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1995 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1996 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1998 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1999 to take care of this, mostly we added
2000 support for the package_name and name
2001 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2002 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2003 support regexp matching of names
2004 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2005 - tests added for this
2006 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2007 is currently not supported in roles,
2008 but, ... patches welcome
2009 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2010 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2011 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2014 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2015 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2016 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2017 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2018 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2019 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2020 - added test for this
2022 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2023 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2024 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2027 * Moose::Meta::Class
2028 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2032 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2034 - added tests for this
2035 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2036 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2038 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2039 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2040 themselves parameterizable types
2042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2043 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2044 called by the inlined immutable
2046 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2048 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2049 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2050 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2051 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2053 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2054 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2058 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

2099 drink more coffee before
2100 doing release engineering
2102 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2217 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2219 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2220 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2263 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2264 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2558 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2559 - added tests for this

2569 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2572 * Parameterized Types
2573 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2574 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2575 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2576 They can also be nested:
2577 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2578 And work with the type unions as well:
2579 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2581 * Better Framework Extendability
2582 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2583 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2584 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2585 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2588 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2589 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2590 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2591 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2740 * Moose::Meta::Class
2741 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
2742 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
2743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2744 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2745 the other side (perigrin)
2747 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2748 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2749 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2750 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2751 prototypes for functions
2752 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2753 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2754 - added tests and docs for this
2755 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2756 default for where be { 1 }
2757 - added test for this
2759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2760 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2761 merlyn for finding this bug
2762 - tests added for this
2763 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2766 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2767 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2768 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2769 - added tests for this
2771 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2773 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2785 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2786 where not handled correctly in roles
2787 - added tests for this
2789 * Moose::Meta::Class
2790 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2791 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2792 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2794 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2795 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2797 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2798 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2799 so this release is just to fix that.
2802 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2803 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2804 (thanks to konobi for this)
2805 - added tests and docs
2807 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2812 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2813 - added tests for this
2814 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2815 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2816 functions to facilitate introspection.
2818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2819 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2820 to build the list of delegated methods
2821 correctly (and not override important
2822 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2824 - added tests and docs for this
2825 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2826 so that you can actually document your
2827 attributes and inspect them through the
2829 - added tests and docs for this
2831 * Moose::Meta::Class
2832 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2833 it will first look in for the class in the
2834 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2835 then default to just loading $name.
2836 - added tests and docs for this
2838 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2839 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2840 - added test for this
2843 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2844 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2845 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2846 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2848 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2849 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2852 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2854 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2855 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2856 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2859 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2860 !! for this developer release to work !!
2862 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2863 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2864 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2865 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2866 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2867 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2868 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2869 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2870 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2871 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2872 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2874 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2875 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2876 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2877 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2880 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2882 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2883 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2884 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2886 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2888 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2889 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2892 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2893 called unless they actually need to be.
2894 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2895 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2896 DEMOLISH method present.
2898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2900 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2901 type constraint, which allows for a
2902 hand optimized version of the type
2903 constraint to be used when possible.
2904 - Any internally created type constraints
2905 now provide an optimized version as well.
2907 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2909 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2910 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2911 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2913 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2914 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2915 your class namespace of these exported
2918 * Moose::Meta::Class
2919 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2920 comes up during global destruction
2922 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2926 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2929 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2930 - changed how we do type checks so that
2931 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2934 - moved accessor generation methods to
2935 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2936 conform to the API changes from
2939 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2940 - changed how constraints are compiled
2941 so that we do less recursion and more
2942 iteration. This makes the type check
2944 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2948 - created this from methods formerly found in
2949 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2951 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2952 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2955 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2957 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2958 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2960 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2963 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2964 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2965 - added tests for this
2966 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2967 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2968 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2969 - removed tests for this
2971 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2973 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2974 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2975 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2978 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2979 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2980 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2982 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2983 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2984 comments for more info.
2987 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2988 asked questions and common problems
2990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2991 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2992 - added tests for this
2994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2995 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2996 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2997 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2999 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3000 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3003 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3004 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3005 is much appreciated :)
3006 - added tests for this
3008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3009 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3010 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3013 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3014 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3016 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3018 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3019 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3023 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3024 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3025 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3027 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3029 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3032 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3033 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3034 keywords because we need to localize them.
3035 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3037 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3038 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3039 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3042 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3045 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3046 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3047 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3050 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3051 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3052 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3054 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3056 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3057 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3058 bottom of your class file.
3061 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3064 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3066 - improved error message when loading modules so
3067 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3068 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3069 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3072 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3073 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3074 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3076 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3077 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3079 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3080 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3081 turn them on for you.
3082 - added tests for this

3111 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3112 - This release works in combination with
3113 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3114 release because it uses the a new
3115 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3116 complete Role implementation. It has
3117 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3118 the the previous CPAN version. This
3119 release also lacks good updated docs,
3120 the official release will have updated docs.
3123 - refactored the keyword exports
3124 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3125 accepts more than one Role at a time

3131 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3132 accepts more than one Role at a time
3134 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3136 string enumerations which can be used as
3138 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3141 - more careful checking of params to new()
3144 - much work done on the role composition
3145 - many new tests for conflict detection
3146 and composition edge cases
3147 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3148 looking at the tests
3150 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3151 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3152 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3173 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3174 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3175 on a per-attribute basis
3176 - added tests for this
3177 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3178 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
