1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
9 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
12 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
16 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
17 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
18 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
19 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
21 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
25 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
27 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
31 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
32 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
33 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
35 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
39 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
40 policy. (Chris Prather)
42 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
43 on this new support policy. (doy)
47 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
48 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
49 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
51 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed all the docs. Now it's
52 listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
54 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
58 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
59 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
60 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
61 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
68 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
69 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
72 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
76 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
77 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
79 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
80 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
84 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
85 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
86 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
87 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
88 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
89 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
91 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
92 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
94 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
95 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
96 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
99 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
100 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
102 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
107 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
108 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
110 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
114 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
115 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
116 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
118 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
122 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
123 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
124 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
126 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
127 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
130 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
131 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
134 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
135 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
136 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
138 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
139 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
144 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
145 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
146 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
147 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
149 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
150 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
152 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
153 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
155 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
156 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
157 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
158 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
160 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
161 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
162 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
165 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
166 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
167 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
168 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
171 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
174 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
175 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
176 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
178 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
182 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
183 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
184 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
186 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
187 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
188 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
191 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
192 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
193 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
195 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
196 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
197 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
199 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
200 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
204 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
205 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
206 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
208 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
209 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
210 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
211 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
213 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
217 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
218 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
219 value is a reference.
221 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
222 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
224 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
228 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
229 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
230 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
232 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
236 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
237 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
241 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
242 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
243 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
245 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
246 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
247 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
249 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
253 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
255 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
259 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
261 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
262 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
267 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
268 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
270 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
271 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
272 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
273 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
274 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
276 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
277 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
278 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
279 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
281 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
285 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
286 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
291 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
293 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
295 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
300 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
302 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
306 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
307 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
308 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
310 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
311 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
312 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
313 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
315 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
316 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
317 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
318 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
319 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
322 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
327 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
328 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
329 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
330 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
331 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
334 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
338 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
341 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
342 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
346 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
347 function (not just method). (doy)
351 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
352 and aren't easily installable/testable.
354 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
358 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
359 to be overridden more easily (doy).
361 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
365 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
366 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
368 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
372 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
373 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
374 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
376 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
380 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
381 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
382 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
384 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
385 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
389 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
390 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
392 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
393 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
397 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
398 is applied to a class (t0m).
400 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
401 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
403 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
406 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
407 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
409 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
410 be much more robust. (doy)
412 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
414 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
417 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
421 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
422 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
424 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
428 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
429 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
431 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
434 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
435 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
436 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
438 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
439 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
440 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
443 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
445 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
449 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
450 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
454 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
456 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
461 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
465 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
466 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
470 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
472 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
476 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
477 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
481 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
482 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
486 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
487 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
489 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
493 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
494 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
495 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
498 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
502 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
503 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
504 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
505 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
507 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
511 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
512 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
513 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
517 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
520 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
525 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
526 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
530 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
531 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
533 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
534 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
535 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
536 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
538 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
542 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
546 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
547 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
549 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
550 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
551 - Moose::Util::does_role
552 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
553 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
554 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
556 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
560 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
561 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
562 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
565 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
569 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
570 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
573 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
577 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
578 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
581 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
585 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
587 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
588 class. (Dave Rolsky).
590 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
591 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
592 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
595 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
596 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
599 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
600 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
602 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
603 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
604 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
606 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
608 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
609 substr et al, again. (sorear)
611 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
613 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
616 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
617 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
619 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
620 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
622 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
623 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
624 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
625 dependencies installed.
627 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
628 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
631 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
633 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
637 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
640 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
641 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
644 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
645 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
647 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
648 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
651 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
652 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
653 others. (nothingmuch)
655 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
656 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
657 remove_accessors. (doy)
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
660 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
661 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
664 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
666 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
667 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
668 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
669 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
672 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
673 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
676 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
678 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
680 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
681 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
685 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
686 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
687 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
688 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
690 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
693 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
694 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
695 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
696 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
699 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
700 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
701 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
702 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
703 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
705 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
706 which were not receiving the value of
707 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
708 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
709 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
710 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
714 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
715 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
716 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
717 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
718 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
722 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
723 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
724 - added tests for this (Stevan)
727 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
728 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
729 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
732 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
734 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
736 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
737 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
738 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
741 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
742 class if you pass it options for
743 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
744 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
745 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
746 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
747 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
748 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
749 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
750 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
751 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
753 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
754 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
755 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
756 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
757 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
760 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
761 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
762 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
763 existing delegation API. (hdp)
765 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
766 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
767 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
768 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
769 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
770 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
773 * Moose::Error::Croak
774 * Moose::Error::Confess
775 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
776 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
779 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
782 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
783 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
784 installing a broken sub. (doy)
787 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
790 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
791 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
792 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
794 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
795 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
796 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
797 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
798 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
800 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
801 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
804 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
806 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
807 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
810 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
811 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
814 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
815 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
816 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
818 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
819 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
820 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
821 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
822 using it for new code!
824 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
825 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
826 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
827 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
829 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
830 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
831 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
832 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
833 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
834 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
835 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
836 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
839 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
842 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
843 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
847 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
850 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
851 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
855 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
856 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
859 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
860 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
862 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
863 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
864 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
867 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
869 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
870 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
871 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
872 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
874 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
876 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
879 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
880 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
881 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
883 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
884 associated_methods. (hdp)
885 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
886 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
887 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
888 misspelled) arguments
890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
891 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
892 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
893 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
896 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
897 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
899 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
903 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
904 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
907 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
908 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
910 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
912 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
913 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
915 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
916 * Moose::Manual::Types
917 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
918 string parsing rathole (mst)
920 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
921 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
922 using plain objects instead
924 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
925 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
928 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
930 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
931 three times today (perigrin)
932 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
933 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
936 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
937 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
938 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
941 - A role's required methods are now represented by
942 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
943 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
944 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
945 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
946 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
949 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
950 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
951 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
952 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
955 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
957 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
960 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
962 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
965 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
966 during global destruction. This method has been made more
967 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
971 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
972 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
975 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
976 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
978 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
979 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
980 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
983 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
985 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
986 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
989 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
993 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
994 methods during global destruction (doy)
997 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
998 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1001 * Moose::Meta::Class
1002 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1003 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1006 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1007 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1010 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1011 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1013 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1015 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1019 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1020 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1021 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1024 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1025 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1026 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1029 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1031 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1032 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1033 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1037 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1038 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1039 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1042 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1043 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1046 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1049 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1050 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1051 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1055 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1056 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Class
1059 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1061 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1063 * Moose::Meta::Class
1064 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1065 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1068 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1069 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1072 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1073 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1076 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1079 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1082 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1085 * Moose::Meta::Class
1086 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1088 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1089 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1092 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1093 * More deprecations and renamings
1094 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1095 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1096 when an object is constructed)
1099 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1100 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1101 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1104 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1105 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1106 feature, and it works again.
1109 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1111 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1113 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1114 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1115 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1118 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1119 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1120 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1121 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1124 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1125 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1126 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1127 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1130 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1131 metaclass object. (hdp)
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1135 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1136 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1137 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1138 point out this fact. (hdp)
1140 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1141 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1143 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1144 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1146 * Moose::Meta::Class
1147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1148 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1149 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1150 called during instance construction were passed the
1151 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1152 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1154 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1155 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1158 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1159 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1160 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1163 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1164 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1165 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1166 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1167 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1169 - Moose::Meta::Class
1170 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1172 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1173 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1174 when an object is constructed)
1175 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1177 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1178 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1179 when an object is constructed)
1180 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1181 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1182 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1185 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1187 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1188 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1190 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1192 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1193 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1194 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1197 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1198 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1200 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1203 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1205 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1206 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1210 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1213 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1214 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1215 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1218 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1222 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1223 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1224 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1227 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1230 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1231 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1232 with recommended workarounds.
1234 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1235 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1238 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1239 (yes, spelled like that).
1241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1242 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1244 * Moose::Meta::Class
1245 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1246 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1248 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1251 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1252 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1253 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1254 instead. Reported by doy.
1256 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1258 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1259 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1261 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1262 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1263 message) is now deprecated.
1264 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1265 often got it wrong. For example:
1267 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1269 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1273 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1274 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1275 bite you in weird cases.
1277 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1278 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1279 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1280 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1283 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1287 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1290 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1291 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1294 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1295 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1298 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1301 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1302 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1303 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1304 - added tests for this (stevan)
1306 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1307 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1308 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1309 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1313 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1314 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1315 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1316 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1318 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1319 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1320 - added tests for this (rafl)
1322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1323 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1324 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1325 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1329 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1330 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1333 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1334 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1335 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1337 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1339 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1340 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1342 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1343 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1344 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1345 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1346 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1349 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1350 error message did not specify the attribute name
1353 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1355 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1357 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1358 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1359 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1362 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1365 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1367 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1368 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1369 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1370 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1372 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1374 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1375 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1376 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1377 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1380 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1381 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1383 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1384 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1385 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1386 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1387 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1390 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1391 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1392 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1393 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1395 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1396 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1397 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1398 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1399 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1400 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1402 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1403 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1404 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1405 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1406 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1407 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1410 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1412 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1413 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1414 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1415 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1421 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1425 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1426 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1428 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1429 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1430 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1431 guts. (nothingmuch).
1433 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1435 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1438 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1439 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1440 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1442 * Moose::Meta::Class
1443 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1446 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1447 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1449 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1450 * Moose::Unsweetened
1451 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1454 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1455 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1456 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1457 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1458 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1459 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1462 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1463 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1464 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1465 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1466 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1467 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1468 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1469 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1470 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1472 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1474 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1475 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1478 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1479 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1480 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1482 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1483 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1484 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1485 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1486 same methods for a single role did not work
1487 right (worked just fine with multiple
1489 - added test for this (stevan)
1491 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1492 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1493 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1496 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1497 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1498 - added test for this (t0m)
1501 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1502 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1503 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1506 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1507 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1508 - added test for this (t0m)
1510 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1511 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1512 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1513 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1514 - added test for this (perigrin)
1517 - create method for constructing a role
1518 dynamically (Sartak)
1519 - added test for this (Sartak)
1520 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1521 - added test for this (Sartak)
1524 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1527 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1528 methods is useful (Sartak)
1530 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1532 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1535 * Moose::Meta::Class
1536 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1537 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1538 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1539 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1540 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1541 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1544 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1545 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1547 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1548 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1549 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1550 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1551 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1555 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1556 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1560 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1561 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1562 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1563 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1564 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1565 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1569 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1570 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1571 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1572 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1573 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1574 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1575 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1576 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1577 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1578 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1580 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1581 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1585 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1586 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1587 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1588 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1590 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1592 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1593 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1594 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1597 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1600 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1601 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1602 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1606 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1608 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1610 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1611 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1613 * Moose::Meta::Class
1614 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1615 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1616 a required attribute
1618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1619 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1620 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1621 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1623 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1624 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1627 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1628 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1629 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1630 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1631 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1632 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1633 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1636 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1637 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1639 * Roles and role application
1640 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1641 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1642 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1643 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1644 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1646 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1647 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1651 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1652 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1653 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1654 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1657 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1658 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1659 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1660 changes in the Moose internals.
1662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1664 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1667 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1668 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1669 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1670 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1673 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1674 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1675 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1677 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1678 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1679 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1680 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1681 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1682 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1683 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1684 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1685 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1686 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1687 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1688 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1689 constraint implementations.
1691 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1695 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1696 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1697 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1698 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1699 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1700 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1701 - added tests for this (rafl)
1703 * Moose::Meta::Class
1704 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1705 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1706 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1707 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1708 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1709 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1710 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1711 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1714 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1715 - added tests for this (thepler)
1717 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1718 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1719 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1720 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1723 * Moose::Meta::Class
1724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1725 * Moose::Meta::Method
1728 * Moose::Error::Default
1729 * Moose::Error::Croak
1730 * Moose::Error::Confess
1731 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1732 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1733 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1734 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1735 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1736 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1738 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1740 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1741 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1743 * Moose::Unsweetened
1744 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1745 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1746 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1748 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1749 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1750 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1751 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1752 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1755 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1756 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1758 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1759 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1760 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1761 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1764 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1766 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1767 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1769 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1772 - Various bug fixes.
1774 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1775 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1777 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1779 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1780 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1781 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1782 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1783 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1784 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1786 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1787 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1788 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1792 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1795 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1796 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1797 dependency to 0.64_07.
1799 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1800 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1801 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1804 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1808 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1809 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1810 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1811 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1812 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1814 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1815 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1817 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1819 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1820 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1824 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1825 method when that method was provided by another role being
1826 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1829 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1831 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1832 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1835 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1836 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1837 - added test for this (t0m)
1839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1840 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1841 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1843 - added test for this (t0m)
1846 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1847 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1848 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1851 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1852 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1854 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1856 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1857 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1859 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1860 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1861 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1864 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1868 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1869 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1870 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1874 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1875 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1876 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1880 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1881 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1882 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1885 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1889 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1890 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1891 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1893 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1895 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1896 created so that the process can be more easily
1897 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1900 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1901 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1902 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1905 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1908 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1909 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1911 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1912 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1913 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1915 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1916 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1917 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1920 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1922 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1923 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1926 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1927 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1931 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1932 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1934 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1935 ... this is not my day today ...
1937 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1938 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1939 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1940 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1941 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1944 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1945 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1946 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1947 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1948 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1951 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1953 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1954 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1955 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1956 this is not ever something you want to do
1957 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1958 - added tests for this (stevan)
1961 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1963 - added test for this
1965 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1966 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1967 - added tests for this (wreis)
1969 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1970 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1971 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1972 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1974 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1975 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1976 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1979 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1981 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1983 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1986 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1987 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1988 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1989 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1990 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1991 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1992 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1993 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 - added tests for this
1996 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1997 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1998 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1999 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2001 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2004 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2005 - added tests for this (sartak)
2006 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2007 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2010 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2012 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2013 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2017 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2018 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2020 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2022 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2023 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2026 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2027 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2028 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2031 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2032 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2034 - added docs for this (TODO).
2035 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2036 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2037 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2038 - fix builder and default both being used
2043 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2045 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2046 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2047 - switched usage of reftype to ref because

2107 XS based functionality is now optional
2108 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2109 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2110 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2184 ->body when looping through the
2185 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2187 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2188 eating the $@ values, and so not
2189 working correctly, it still kind of
2190 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2191 - added tests for this

2213 drink more coffee before
2214 doing release engineering
2216 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2331 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2333 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2670 - fixed how required methods are handled
2671 when they encounter overriden or modified
2672 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2673 - added tests for this
2675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2676 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2677 the | always creates a union and so is
2678 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2679 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2681 - added more tests for this
2683 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2686 * Parameterized Types
2687 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2688 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2689 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2690 They can also be nested:
2691 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2692 And work with the type unions as well:
2693 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2695 * Better Framework Extendability
2696 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2697 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2698 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2699 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2702 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2703 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2704 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2705 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2708 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2710 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2877 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2880 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2881 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2882 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2883 - added tests for this
2885 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2887 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2916 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2917 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2918 (thanks to konobi for this)

2930 functions to facilitate introspection.
2932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2936 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2938 - added tests and docs for this
2939 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2940 so that you can actually document your
2941 attributes and inspect them through the

2945 * Moose::Meta::Class
2946 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2947 it will first look in for the class in the
2948 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2949 then default to just loading $name.
2950 - added tests and docs for this
2952 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2953 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2954 - added test for this
2957 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2958 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2959 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2960 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2962 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2963 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2966 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2968 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2969 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2970 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2973 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2974 !! for this developer release to work !!
2976 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2977 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2978 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2979 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2980 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2981 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2982 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2983 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2984 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2985 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2986 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2988 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2989 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2990 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2991 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2994 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2996 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2997 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2998 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3000 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3002 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3003 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3006 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3007 called unless they actually need to be.
3008 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3009 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3010 DEMOLISH method present.
3012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3013 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3014 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3015 type constraint, which allows for a
3016 hand optimized version of the type
3017 constraint to be used when possible.
3018 - Any internally created type constraints
3019 now provide an optimized version as well.
3021 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3023 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3024 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3025 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3028 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3029 your class namespace of these exported
3032 * Moose::Meta::Class
3033 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3034 comes up during global destruction
3036 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3040 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3044 - changed how we do type checks so that
3045 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3048 - moved accessor generation methods to
3049 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3050 conform to the API changes from
3053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3054 - changed how constraints are compiled
3055 so that we do less recursion and more
3056 iteration. This makes the type check
3058 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3061 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3062 - created this from methods formerly found in
3063 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3065 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3066 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3068 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3069 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

3074 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3076 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3077 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3078 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3079 - added tests for this
3080 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3081 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3082 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3083 - removed tests for this
3085 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3087 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3088 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3089 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3092 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3093 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3094 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3096 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3097 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3098 comments for more info.
3101 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3102 asked questions and common problems
3104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3105 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3106 - added tests for this
3108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3109 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3110 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3111 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3113 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3114 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3117 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3118 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3119 is much appreciated :)
3120 - added tests for this
3122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3123 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3124 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3128 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3130 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3132 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3133 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3137 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3138 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3139 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3141 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3143 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3146 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3147 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3148 keywords because we need to localize them.
3149 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3151 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3152 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3153 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3156 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3159 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3160 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3161 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3164 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3165 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3166 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3168 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3170 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3171 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3172 bottom of your class file.
3175 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3178 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3180 - improved error message when loading modules so
3181 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3182 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3183 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3186 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3187 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3188 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3191 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3193 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3194 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3195 turn them on for you.
3196 - added tests for this

3225 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3226 - This release works in combination with
3227 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3228 release because it uses the a new
3229 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3230 complete Role implementation. It has
3231 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3232 the the previous CPAN version. This
3233 release also lacks good updated docs,
3234 the official release will have updated docs.
3237 - refactored the keyword exports
3238 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3239 accepts more than one Role at a time

3258 - much work done on the role composition
3259 - many new tests for conflict detection
3260 and composition edge cases
3261 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3262 looking at the tests

3287 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3288 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3289 on a per-attribute basis
3290 - added tests for this
3291 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3292 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3293 experimental feature and probably not finished
