1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
6 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers
7 to the existing delegation API. (hdp)
9 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
10 - Moved in from MooseX::AttributeHelpers with API tweaks. See
11 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
15 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
16 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
18 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
19 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
20 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
21 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
22 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
24 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
25 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
28 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
30 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
31 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
34 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
35 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
37 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
38 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
39 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
40 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
42 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
43 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
44 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
45 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
46 using it for new code!
49 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
50 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
51 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
52 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
53 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
54 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
55 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
58 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
61 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
62 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
65 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
66 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
68 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
69 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
70 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
73 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
74 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
75 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
78 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
79 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
81 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
82 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
83 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
86 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
87 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
88 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
89 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
90 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
91 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
93 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
95 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
98 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
99 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
100 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
102 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
103 associated_methods. (hdp)
104 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
105 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
106 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
107 misspelled) arguments
109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
110 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
111 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
112 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
116 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
118 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
122 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
123 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
126 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
127 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
129 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
131 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
132 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
134 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
135 * Moose::Manual::Types
136 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
137 string parsing rathole (mst)
139 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
140 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
141 using plain objects instead
143 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
144 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
147 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
149 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
150 three times today (perigrin)
151 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
152 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
154 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
155 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
156 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
157 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
160 - A role's required methods are now represented by
161 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
162 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
163 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
164 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
165 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
168 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
169 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
170 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
171 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
174 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
176 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
179 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
181 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
184 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
185 during global destruction. This method has been made more
186 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
190 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
191 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
194 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
195 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
197 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
198 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
199 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
202 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
204 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
205 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
208 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
212 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
213 methods during global destruction (doy)
216 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
217 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
221 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
222 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
225 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
226 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
229 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
230 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
232 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
234 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
238 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
239 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
240 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
243 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
244 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
245 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
248 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
250 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
252 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
256 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
257 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
258 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
260 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
261 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
262 of the Moose core (Sartak)
265 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
268 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
269 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
270 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
274 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
275 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
278 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
280 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
283 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
284 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
287 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
288 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
291 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
292 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
295 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
298 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
301 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
305 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
307 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
308 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
311 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
312 * More deprecations and renamings
313 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
314 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
315 when an object is constructed)
318 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
319 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
320 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
323 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
324 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
325 feature, and it works again.
328 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
330 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
332 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
333 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
334 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
337 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
338 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
339 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
340 message. Test provided by perigrin.
342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
343 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
344 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
345 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
346 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
349 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
350 metaclass object. (hdp)
352 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
356 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
357 point out this fact. (hdp)
359 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
360 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
362 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
363 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
367 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
368 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
369 called during instance construction were passed the
370 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
371 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
373 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
374 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
377 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
378 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
379 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
382 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
383 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
384 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
385 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
386 them, but they are not for "public" use.
389 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
391 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
392 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
393 when an object is constructed)
394 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
396 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
397 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
398 when an object is constructed)
399 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
400 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
401 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
404 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
406 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
407 * No changes from 0.72_01.
409 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
411 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
412 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
413 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
416 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
417 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
419 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
421 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
422 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
424 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
425 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
428 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
429 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
432 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
433 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
434 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
437 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
441 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
442 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
443 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
446 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
449 * Moose::Manual::Delta
450 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
451 with recommended workarounds.
453 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
454 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
457 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
458 (yes, spelled like that).
460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
461 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
464 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
465 changes in latest Class::MOP.
467 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
470 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
471 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
472 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
473 instead. Reported by doy.
475 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
477 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
478 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
481 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
482 message) is now deprecated.
483 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
484 often got it wrong. For example:
486 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
488 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
492 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
493 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
494 bite you in weird cases.
496 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
497 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
498 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
501 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
502 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
506 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
509 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
510 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
513 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
514 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
517 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
520 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
522 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
523 - added tests for this (stevan)
525 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
526 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
527 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
528 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
532 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
533 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
534 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
535 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
537 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
538 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
539 - added tests for this (rafl)
541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
542 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
543 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
544 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
548 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
549 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
552 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
553 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
554 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
556 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
558 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
559 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
562 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
563 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
564 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
565 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
568 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
569 error message did not specify the attribute name
572 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
574 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
576 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
577 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
578 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
581 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
584 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
586 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
587 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
588 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
589 of fixes and formatting improvements.
591 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
593 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
594 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
595 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
596 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
598 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
599 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
600 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
603 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
604 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
605 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
606 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
609 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
610 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
611 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
612 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
615 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
616 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
617 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
618 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
619 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
621 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
622 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
623 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
624 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
625 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
626 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
628 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
629 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
631 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
632 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
633 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
634 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
637 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
640 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
644 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
645 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
647 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
648 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
649 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
652 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
654 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
657 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
658 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
659 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
662 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
665 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
666 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
668 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
670 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
673 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
674 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
675 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
676 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
677 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
678 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
681 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
682 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
683 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
684 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
685 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
686 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
687 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
688 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
689 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
691 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
693 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
694 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
697 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
698 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
699 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
701 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
702 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
703 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
704 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
705 same methods for a single role did not work
706 right (worked just fine with multiple
708 - added test for this (stevan)
710 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
711 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
712 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
715 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
716 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
717 - added test for this (t0m)
720 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
721 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
722 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
725 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
726 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
727 - added test for this (t0m)
729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
730 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
731 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
732 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
733 - added test for this (perigrin)
736 - create method for constructing a role
738 - added test for this (Sartak)
739 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
740 - added test for this (Sartak)
743 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
745 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
746 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
747 methods is useful (Sartak)
749 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
751 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
755 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
756 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
757 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
758 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
759 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
760 - added tests for this (jdv79)
763 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
764 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
766 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
767 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
768 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
769 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
770 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
772 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
774 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
775 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
776 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
779 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
780 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
781 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
782 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
783 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
784 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
788 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
789 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
790 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
791 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
792 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
793 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
794 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
795 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
796 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
797 future. (jnapiorkowski)
799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
800 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
803 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
804 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
805 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
806 type. (jnapiorkowski)
807 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
809 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
811 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
812 predicate, and link to more details sections in
813 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
816 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
819 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
820 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
821 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
824 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
825 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
827 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
829 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
830 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
833 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
834 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
837 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
838 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
839 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
840 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
842 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
843 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
846 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
847 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
848 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
849 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
850 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
851 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
852 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
854 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
855 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
856 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
858 * Roles and role application
859 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
860 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
861 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
862 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
863 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
865 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
866 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
869 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
870 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
871 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
872 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
873 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
876 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
877 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
878 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
879 changes in the Moose internals.
881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
883 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
886 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
887 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
888 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
889 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
892 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
893 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
894 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
897 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
898 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
899 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
900 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
901 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
902 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
903 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
904 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
905 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
906 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
907 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
908 constraint implementations.
910 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
914 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
915 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
916 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
917 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
918 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
919 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
920 - added tests for this (rafl)
923 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
924 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
925 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
926 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
927 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
928 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
929 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
930 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
933 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
934 - added tests for this (thepler)
936 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
937 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
938 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
939 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
944 * Moose::Meta::Method
947 * Moose::Error::Default
948 * Moose::Error::Croak
949 * Moose::Error::Confess
950 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
951 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
952 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
953 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
954 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
955 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
957 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
959 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
960 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
963 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
964 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
965 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
968 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
969 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
970 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
971 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
974 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
975 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
977 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
978 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
979 several major changes in this release of Moose.
980 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
983 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
985 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
986 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
988 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
993 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
994 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
996 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
998 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
999 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1000 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1001 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1002 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1003 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1006 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1007 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1010 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1011 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1014 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1015 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1016 dependency to 0.64_07.
1018 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1019 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1020 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1022 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1023 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1027 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1028 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1029 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1030 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1031 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1034 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1036 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1038 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1039 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1043 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1044 method when that method was provided by another role being
1045 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1046 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1048 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1050 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1051 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1053 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1054 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1055 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1056 - added test for this (t0m)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1059 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1060 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1062 - added test for this (t0m)
1065 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1066 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1067 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1070 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1071 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1073 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1075 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1076 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1078 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1079 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1080 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1082 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1083 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1087 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1088 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1089 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1093 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1094 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1095 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1099 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1100 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1101 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1104 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1108 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1109 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1110 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1112 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1114 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1115 created so that the process can be more easily
1116 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1119 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1120 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1121 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1124 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1127 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1128 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1130 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1131 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1132 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1134 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1135 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1136 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1139 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1141 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1142 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1145 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1146 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1150 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1151 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1153 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1154 ... this is not my day today ...
1156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1157 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1158 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1159 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1160 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1163 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1164 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1165 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1166 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1167 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1170 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1172 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1173 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1174 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1175 this is not ever something you want to do
1176 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1177 - added tests for this (stevan)
1180 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1182 - added test for this
1184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1185 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1186 - added tests for this (wreis)
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1189 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1190 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1191 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1193 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1194 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1195 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1198 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1200 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1202 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1205 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1206 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1207 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1208 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1209 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1210 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1211 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1212 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1213 - added tests for this
1215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1216 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1217 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1218 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1220 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1223 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1224 - added tests for this (sartak)
1225 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1226 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1229 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1231 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1232 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1236 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1237 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1239 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1241 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1242 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1245 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1246 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1247 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1250 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1251 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1253 - added docs for this (TODO).
1254 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1255 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1256 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1262 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1264 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1265 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1266 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1270 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1274 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1275 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1276 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1279 - move the ClassName type check code to
1280 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1283 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1285 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1286 (early morning release engineering)--
1288 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1289 which was causing the indexer to choke
1291 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1292 (late night release engineering)--
1294 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1295 changes in this release
1297 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1298 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1299 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1301 * Moose::Meta::Class
1302 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1303 since it is called so often by &meta
1305 * Moose::Meta::Class
1307 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1308 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1312 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1313 method for immutablization to check if the
1314 destructor object even needs to be created
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1318 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1319 - added more descriptive error message to help
1320 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1321 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1323 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1325 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1326 XS based functionality is now optional
1327 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1328 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1329 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1331 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1332 to take care of this, mostly we added
1333 support for the package_name and name
1334 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1335 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1336 support regexp matching of names
1337 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1338 - tests added for this
1339 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1340 is currently not supported in roles,
1341 but, ... patches welcome
1342 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1343 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1344 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1347 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1348 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1349 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1350 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1351 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1352 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1353 - added test for this
1355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1356 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1357 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1360 * Moose::Meta::Class
1361 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1365 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1367 - added tests for this
1368 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1369 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1372 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1373 themselves parameterizable types
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1376 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1377 called by the inlined immutable
1379 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1381 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1382 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1383 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1384 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1386 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1387 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1391 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1392 causing occasional cpantester failures
1393 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1394 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1396 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008

1432 drink more coffee before
1433 doing release engineering
1435 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1550 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1552 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1596 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1597 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1890 when they encounter overriden or modified
1891 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1892 - added tests for this

1902 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1905 * Parameterized Types
1906 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1907 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1908 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1909 They can also be nested:
1910 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1911 And work with the type unions as well:
1912 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1914 * Better Framework Extendability
1915 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1916 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1917 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1918 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1921 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1922 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1923 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1924 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2077 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
2078 the other side (perigrin)
2080 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2082 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2083 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2084 prototypes for functions
2085 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2086 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2087 - added tests and docs for this
2088 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2089 default for where be { 1 }
2090 - added test for this
2092 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2093 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2094 merlyn for finding this bug
2095 - tests added for this
2096 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2099 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2100 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2101 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2102 - added tests for this
2104 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2106 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2107 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
2108 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2111 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2113 * Moose::Meta::Class
2114 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
2115 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
2118 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
2119 where not handled correctly in roles
2120 - added tests for this
2122 * Moose::Meta::Class
2123 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2124 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2125 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2127 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2128 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2130 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2131 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2132 so this release is just to fix that.
2135 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2136 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2137 (thanks to konobi for this)
2138 - added tests and docs
2140 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2141 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2144 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2145 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2146 - added tests for this
2147 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2148 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2149 functions to facilitate introspection.
2151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2152 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2153 to build the list of delegated methods
2154 correctly (and not override important
2155 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2157 - added tests and docs for this
2158 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2159 so that you can actually document your
2160 attributes and inspect them through the
2162 - added tests and docs for this
2164 * Moose::Meta::Class
2165 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2166 it will first look in for the class in the
2167 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2168 then default to just loading $name.
2169 - added tests and docs for this
2171 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2172 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2173 - added test for this
2176 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2177 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2178 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2179 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2181 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2182 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2185 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2187 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2188 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2189 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2192 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2193 !! for this developer release to work !!
2195 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2196 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2197 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2198 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2199 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2200 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2201 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2202 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2203 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2204 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2205 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2207 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2208 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2209 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2210 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2213 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2215 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2216 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2217 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2219 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2221 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2222 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2225 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2226 called unless they actually need to be.
2227 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2228 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2229 DEMOLISH method present.
2231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2233 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2234 type constraint, which allows for a
2235 hand optimized version of the type
2236 constraint to be used when possible.
2237 - Any internally created type constraints
2238 now provide an optimized version as well.
2240 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2242 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2243 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2244 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2247 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2248 your class namespace of these exported
2251 * Moose::Meta::Class
2252 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2253 comes up during global destruction
2255 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2259 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2263 - changed how we do type checks so that
2264 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2267 - moved accessor generation methods to
2268 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2269 conform to the API changes from
2272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2273 - changed how constraints are compiled
2274 so that we do less recursion and more
2275 iteration. This makes the type check
2277 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2281 - created this from methods formerly found in
2282 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2284 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2285 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2288 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2291 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2293 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2296 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2297 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2298 - added tests for this
2299 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2300 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2301 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2302 - removed tests for this
2304 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2306 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2307 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2308 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2311 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2312 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2313 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2315 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2316 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2317 comments for more info.
2320 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2321 asked questions and common problems
2323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2324 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2325 - added tests for this
2327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2328 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2329 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2330 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2332 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2333 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2336 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2337 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2338 is much appreciated :)
2339 - added tests for this
2341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2342 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2343 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2347 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2349 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2351 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2352 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2356 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2357 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2358 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2360 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2362 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2365 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2366 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2367 keywords because we need to localize them.
2368 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2370 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2371 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2372 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2375 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2379 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2380 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2383 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2384 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2385 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2387 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2389 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2390 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2391 bottom of your class file.
2394 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2397 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2399 - improved error message when loading modules so
2400 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2401 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2402 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2405 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2406 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2407 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2409 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2410 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2412 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2413 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2414 turn them on for you.
2415 - added tests for this

2444 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2445 - This release works in combination with
2446 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2447 release because it uses the a new
2448 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2449 complete Role implementation. It has
2450 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2451 the the previous CPAN version. This
2452 release also lacks good updated docs,
2453 the official release will have updated docs.
2456 - refactored the keyword exports
2457 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2458 accepts more than one Role at a time

2464 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2465 accepts more than one Role at a time
2467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2469 string enumerations which can be used as
2471 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2474 - more careful checking of params to new()
2477 - much work done on the role composition
2478 - many new tests for conflict detection
2479 and composition edge cases
2480 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2481 looking at the tests
2483 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2484 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2485 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2506 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2507 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2508 on a per-attribute basis
2509 - added tests for this
